Oprah Winfrey Not Ruling Out Presidential Run
New York Post ^ | March 1, 2017 | 8:51 | By Daniel Halper

Legendary TV host Oprah Winfrey hinted that she’s considering a run for the White House while taking a shot at President Trump in a recent interview.

Asked whether she considered running for president, Winfrey suggested in an episode of Bloomberg’s “The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations” that it’s on her mind.

“I actually never thought that was — I never considered the question, even a possibility, I just thought ‘Oh, oh,’” Winfrey said in the interview that aired Wednesday.

Rubenstein responded, “Right, because it’s clear that you don’t need government experience to be elected president of the United States, right?”

“That’s what I thought,” Winfrey said. “I thought, ‘Oh gee, I don’t have the experience, I don’t know enough.’ Now I’m thinking, ‘Oh, oh.’”

Winfrey’s facial expressions — and the crowd reaction — made it clear what she was implying: Now that someone with no political experience, Donald Trump, has become president, it’s altered her way of looking at the office.

Winfrey was a big booster for President Obama and has experience on the campaign trail from when she stumped for him.

No matter WHO they run, it will be an uphill fight if we are successful the next four years.

I really don’t think she wants reporters digging into her private life and her, uh, “relationship” with Stedman.

She would be a formidable opponent and one with a good chance of winning.

"Now that someone with no political experience [...] has become president"

Who was the first president of the U.S.? How much political experience did he have? Liberals are such idiots.

Stupid turds like her like to point to Ronald Reagan as an example, without even knowing in their little pea-brains that he was a multi-term governor of the largest state in the union.

What a POS.

Let’s say Trump continues to hold the course he has set, and laid out for the American people last night.

Anyone running against him is a damn fool.
