Run, Oprah, run!

Because of her tear jerking speech at the Golden Globes last night, cries arose from the left calling for Oprah Winfrey to run for President in 2020:

Oprah Winfrey for president was something of a running theme throughout the Golden Globes on Sunday, beginning with Seth Meyers’ opening monologue. He jokingly forbade Winfrey from considering the presidency.

But the trend picked up steam as the night unfolded, particularly after Winfrey’s impassioned acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award.

It didn’t take long for social media, and celebs in particular, to rally Winfrey for the job, including inside the ceremony.

“It's up to the people,” Winfrey’s longtime partner, Stedman Graham, told The Times. “She would absolutely do it."

Gayle King, Winfrey’s best buddy, echoed Graham’s sentiments: “I thought that speech was incredible. I got goosebumps,” she also told The Times.

Eva Longoria and Keith Urban shared a table at the ceremony and gushed over Winfrey’s remarks.

“That speech!” Longoria said.

“It was more of an exultation,” Urban replied.

Jimmy Kimmel was "on board" with it.

NBC sent out of completely non-partisan tweet:

Nothing but respect for OUR future president. #GoldenGlobespic.twitter.com/h4hkjewu0K — NBC (@nbc) January 8, 2018

Here is a segment from her speech:
'I want all the girls watching here to know that a new day is on the horizon. When that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say 'Me too' again.'
Indeed. Despite her abused past, Oprah rose above it to mingle and get tight with the titans of Hollywood, including one Harvey Weinstein, with whom Oprah does not look at all uncomfortable:

 

 

 

This is juxtaposed nicely with some of the scenery posted in Hollywood to greet the celebrities:

 

 

They all knew. The loathsome Meryl Streep knew. Oprah knew. Jake Tapper called it the "one of the most open secrets in Hollywood." It would be delicious to see Oprah have to squirm while fending off questions about why she knew about the rampant sexual harassment and did absolutely nothing until it was safe to do so.

That wouldn't be the end of it, either. A British actress accused Oprah of pimping her out to Weinstein:

Cecil B. DeMille Award.

A whale of an award, for a whale of a celebrity.

If the Repukes hold both houses it probably won’t matter. It’ll also be hard for someone who is hard left to win if they don’t sweep 2018. I should say, I currently don’t really have a problem with Oprah as I don’t know much of her stances. Couldn’t be worst than the rest of the Rats currently holding office

Hey! Oprah totally kicked ass in that movie. I’ll say this: She is vastly underrated as an actress.

Oprah will milk it for all its worth for the publicity.

Once again the media and Hollywood misses why President Trump was elected!

It is not about populism as they think it is about losing factories to china, it about illegal aliens taking our jobs, it's about being told that the middle class is too greedy or is racist, it's about a decline in the standard of living, it's about two sets of laws, one for the politically connected and one for average Americans.

So yes Oprah run, you are part of the problem not part of the solution. Run on socialist principles, run on raising taxes, run on open boarders, run on punishing small business, run on increases regulation, on closing coal mines and power plants, run on grinding the average hard working family man under you iron booted heal! Run Oprah run!

black plus female plus rich plus widely-known plus no stage fright plus NOT HilLIARy nor FakeInjunSquaw

Oprah has lots of advantages to run

but will the Soroz/DNC machine nominate her?

I rather think, right now anyway, not.

?????

LOL! I would LOVE to see her run, but the Democrat career swamp dwellers would never allow a non-political outsider like her in. They like her money, but she’s not really one of them— that is, a career political hack. Just think of the resistance of the Republican swamp to Trump. The Democrat swamp is twice as deep and ten times as nasty.

The dems will nominate a black woman in 2020 and it will be a close race.

Under Bill Clinton Oprah was on pot, but under Oprah America (liberal) is officially under crack cocaine of media trash embellishments

Stick a fork in liberals

They might if they run things and she allows to be their puppet. Not sure if Obama can successfully approach her, though, on that creepy detail. Has she been to the witch cult sessions? We shall see if she has

"...careful, I said the same thing..."


We should not laugh at any opponent.
We need to treat each and all of them seriously.
We must have the full eight-year presidency to help our country.

I think Oprah would be as formidable a candidate as the Dems could field. Actually Biden would be a stronger candidate but he’d never get nominated because he’s a white male.

Oprah would not present a credible MAD policy though and we’re going back into another Cold War. MAD is what prevented us from blowing up the world during the Cold War.

Oh, what a perfect photo!

Oprah: "Sweetheart, if you do everything Uncle Harvey tells you to do, he'll make you a star!"

Just think, leftists can scream racist and sexist in the same sentance at whoever doesn’t vote for her!

Even many of her worshippers looked bored during her ponderously pedantic neverending All Men Are Bad speech.

Before receiving the crown the Oprah must compete with a very nasty lady named Warren, an even nastier lady named Hilarious, Joe Biteme and who knows beyond that. She’s not a politician - I rate her chances at less than 1%, lower than her chances of suffering a violent suicide from 50 feet distance.

And, before you throw Trump in my face, consider, the man is a genius.
