You know, I'd like to say to that: "yes it is (crazy), and no she couldn't (win)." But then I think back that bammy actually got elected a second time and I don't know... I mean, I get it. The first time I'm sure a lot of self-loathing guilt-ridden liberals voted for him just 'cause he was a black guy with a muslim name. They wanted to prove to themselves and others they were "enlightened" and not prejudiced etc. etc. I think that fairly well explains term 1. But after his dismal, America-hating, scandal-riddled, performance how the {expletive} did he get a second term? The American electorate can be fooled, cheated, and may be mildly insane at times. Only explanation. So yeah, even someone as repulsive, unqualified, and downright ignorant as Oprah could probably win with the right message. Maybe. If enough people get a taste of the good life, of America running at full throttle under President Trump... Maybe, just maybe some of the blinders will come off.

Obama was being talked about as a possible POTUS candidate after he made "the speech" at the DNC. I laughed at the idea of a black guy with a Muslim-sounding name being elected POTUS in a post-9/11 world. We know how that worked out.

I hope that this time is different. Oprah's speech wasn't even political and seemed to deal only with feminism and racism. I hope she would not get 80% of the women's vote. Mario Cuomo was supposed to go far after he made "the speech" at the DNC in 1984. The 'rats love to nominate people who make one great speech or who come off as "Kennedyesque".
