Haven’t we been punished enough by Trump’s candidacy and election?

I’m sure she’s a nice person, but I’ve never watched one second of any Oprah show and I don’t give a shit about her, or any other TV celebrity. Or sports figure. Or musician. Or actor.

The last thing we need is another celebrity with zero experience in government trying to be President. It’s symptomatic of the juvenile attitudes our national culture has about government.

Sure, I’d rather have her in the Oval Office than Trump, but that’s like saying I’d rather drink a quart of vinegar than a cup of sulfuric acid.

If Oprah really wants to make a difference, she should plow a portion of her vast financial holdings into voter registration and the fight against voter suppression.

I’m weirdly open minded on this.

I’m pretty sure this horrible drumpf experiment we’re forced to live through only proves you need no governing experience to be ELECTED president. Sure seems like experience would be useful in the actual Job.

I’d really like someone to run that has actually experience in government (Kamala Harris, please, please, please, please) but a showdown between Trump and Oprah would be pretty epic.

You know what, Oprah. Try running for Congress, first.

Why don’t we just let them do a pay-per-view wrestling event, and spare the country the fallout from this electoral match?

Oprah Magazine vs The National Enquirer?

It’s the People Magazining of America.

I’d rather have Michelle, but Oprah would be better than a lot of the possible contenders. Particularly the Orange Menace.

The last thing we need is Trump or Dense. If it takes Oprah to knock them out of the White House, I’m all for her.

Yeah, I really see this a trolling Trump. But, not only is she smart enough to know what she doesn’t know, if we’re to have a TV celebrity she’d at least be the kind of person to get really good people where they need to be in her administration.

Amen. Nice person. Very kind, but we need another Schwarzendorker like we need
another hole in the head.

Dumblefuck, Oprah, Kanye…WHY?

So very, very tired of this celebrity culture that is destroying the country.

I guess Jenny Craig would be head of HHS.

I agree with Oprah about experience inasmuch as no one should feel intimidated about running for school board or county or state office. No Republican should run unopposed in 2018 or ever again.

Oprah could be a big help recruiting candidates by encouraging citizens to get active, maybe.

But that’s as far as this should go. And I’d like to encourage all other celebrities (Clooney, Damon, Smith, West, etc) to quit floating these fucking trial balloons. It makes us all look like assholes.
