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.

She has NO experience at all, NO knowledge about anything, a dicey background, iffy morals, worse ethics, and lost the vast majority of her followers, back in '08; not to mention that she went to the same "Church" that the Obamas did and since then, has NO religious affiliation.

The ONLY thing that Dems consider to trump all, which she has...is her skin color and "lady parts".

Without a HANDLER ( Valerie Jarrett, perhaps? ), Oprah would be completely lost; even with a HANDLER!

Normally I’d laugh, but there are enough stupid people out there....she’d have all of the Obama/Hitlery crowd, no problem.

We’re almost in the land of Loony Tunes, but not quite yet. If she runs I hope it’s in 2020. I think Trump will crush her.

The year we should really be focusing on is 2024. We MUST have the right guy (at this point I don’t think it’s Pence) who is ready, willing, and able to take down the remaining portion of the unconstitutional federal government and get state sovereignty and individual freedom up and rolling again.

She couldn’t be worse than Obama. She’s a businessperson/entertainer like Trump.

she went to a Black Supremacist Chicago church for decades and she’s actually a lesbian with Stedman just serving as camouflage.

We may be but not because Oprah says she’s considered running. But if she got elected ...

.........conservatives will elect the 2010 president not a liberal like Oprah.

Moreover, as over-weight as Oprah is, I don’t see her having the stamina. Trump only got 4 hours sleep most days.

Just like Air America replacing Rush Limbaugh, or Black Lives Matter replacing the Tea Party, leftists fail to understand why the liberal counterpart never works.
