[ElRenoRaven]

Not in a million years. Screw these stupid ass celebs who think they can run the goddamn country because by god their famous. Trump shouldn't have won and neither should any of these idiots.

 

[Osukaa]

Do this and they have got my vote.
If celebs are gonna get involved lets just go all in and make Oprah the Prez lol

release your emails.

 

[Newt]

Oprah is a stronger candidate than both Hillary and Trump but that's not saying much.

 

[kewlmyc]

Can't get any worst than what we already have.

 

[Aiustis]

Oprah for president has been a thing for years. She has a pretty good shot.

 

[Rembrandt]

isn't that the hitler platform

Lmao.


I would vote for her but I don't want to.

 

[Dunlop]

By the next election there will be so much gerrymandering and blatant election fraud that it won't matter.

 

[Moppeh]

Let's just double check before and make sure she's not Pam.

 

[UrokeJoe]

Sure why not.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

She's not the kind of "outsider" people who were hypnotized by the idea of an outsider are looking for, that is to say not an angry white dude

Let's get an actual, tested politician back for president shall we

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Let's get a Black Woman into the white House. GOP will implode

How big are your hands?

 

[Sunster]

This may sound crazy but how about we have people who understand the government run it?

.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Terrible idea.

Seriously, why would any country want someone with no experience...well...I guess that ship has already sailed.

 

[deadlast]

If she brings the Bees, then she has my vote.

 

[davepoobond]

Terrible idea.

Seriously, why would any country want someone with no experience...well...I guess that ship has already sailed.

Half the country didn't care and 1/4 wanted it.


So only 25% functionally cares about experience

 

[Trail Guide]

So the next Democratic primaries will be between CEO's of horrible corporations and talk show hosts....

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

No thanks. She's even less qualified than Trump.

 

[TAJ]

No matter how much Latinos hate Trump there's no fucking way the Dems could get enough of them to vote for a black woman.

 

[Mercury Fred]

No thanks. She's even less qualified than Trump.

How do you figure?

 

[Ramsiege]

No thanks. I'm voting for the Rock.

 

[old manatee]

Oprah talked my mom into so much bullshit over the years.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Oprah wouldn't be bad because she'll be relying in Obama a lot, and she's far smarter than Trump in every way possible from s governing standpoint.

 

[Megawarrior]

Well...why not at this point. America is cancelled anyway.

 

[davepoobond]

No thanks. I'm voting for the Rock.

Thinking about it like this, 2020 elections sound like they could be insane...

Oprah vs the rock vs trump vs Kanye.

 

[wildfire]

I could see myself voting for her but I would need to hear what her politics are and who she would get on her campaign team.

 

[Einhander]

So this is it, huh? Rich, clueless celebrities taking turns at running the country, and it's a coin toss at what the result is? This country is doomed.

 

[Sinfamy]

No more billionaires stop it

 

[Mully]

Nope.

 

[Etzer]

Wasn't she the one who catapulted Obama into the spotlight in '08? In any case, I don't think it's fair to say that it would be another Trump scenario.

Edit: Her endorsement of Obama has it's own Wikipedia page:

[DarkKyo]

So the next Democratic primaries will be between CEO's of horrible corporations and talk show hosts....

We had our chance to pick the right primary candidate in 2016 and we BLEW IT. Our one chance to break the cycle.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

yaz queen

 

[junpei]

And Dr Oz. And she gave Jenny McCarthy a platform.

No, screw this. It's not even funny to entertain the idea of Oprah running.

To be fair she's also had over 4,000 episodes on Her show . She's bound to give a platform to some bad influences along the way.

 

[jerry113]

fuck it, why not.

electability doesn't matter as a concept anymore; you don't have to be qualified for the job to get the job anymore

just put up whoever might get the most votes

 

[Majine]

You're weird, America...

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Hillary did say there would be a female president "sooner than we think".

 

[Majine]

Hillary did say there would be a female president "sooner than we think".

Hillary also said she would be president.

 

[TwoDurans]

I can't help but think that Oprah would end up having the largest win margins since Reagan.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Hillary also said she would be president.

...Twice.

 

[Magni]

This may sound crazy but how about we have people who understand the government run it?

.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Hillary also said she would be president.

When

I'm sure she said something along the lines of "if I'm president" or "I hope to be president" but when did she say "I will be president"

 

[HariKari]

You're weird, America...

The taboo of needing to be qualified to run has been broken. Now it's a giant reality TV show. Every dipshit with money and celebrity will be coming out the woodwork now.

 

[hao chi]

I'd take her over Trump easily, and one bright side of her potentially running is I'm sure she would crush Trump if he's up for reelection. Though what I really want is for celebrities with no government experience to stop kicking around the idea of running for president. We need people that are actually qualified for the position to be the nominees instead of turning the election into some idiotic celebrity popularity contest.

 

[Staccat0]

Guys, I'm not gonna lie, I wouldn't have voted for Trump even if he had been a liberal democrat. The fact that he is evil added insult to injury but it was far from the final straw.

People poo poo the idea of restricting it to people who have held office, but I dunno. Is it so bad to ask someone to be a city councilman or mayor first?

If you think you can run the country why not try California or Illinois or Montana first?

 

[billy beane]

What about Dr. Phil/Cash Me Outside Girl? That would've won if the election was 3 weeks ago.

 

[Apzu]

What? No. Get a hold of yourself America. Just because you made one mistake in last year elections, it doesn't mean you need to double down in the next one. Unless you're trying to get yourself into an express train to Latin America, because then I can see why you would choose presidents like this.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Eww.

 

[Einhander]

Peter North: I could be president...
