Except for that VERY annoying woman running her trap about PP at the end. So glad I gave up watching cable “news” in 2006.

To be fair, in 1988, who would’ve thought the country would’ve wound up where we are?

This is news? It took place over 25 years ago. Anyone guess what Ronald Reagan would have answered if he was asked in 1955?

And to be fair, if someone asked Hillary in 1988 if she were going to run for President, I’m guessing she would have probably said no. Times have changed :)

This opens an interesting door for Trump. If asked what led to his decision to run for office, he can say "Actually, I first got the idea from Oprah."
That would reach deeply into the ranks of single women voters - and Winfrey can't really refute it.
