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:

She won’t run.

It would cost her literally billions of dollars because she would have to give up her media empire.

Orca can’t run, but she can probably do 360 degree body rolls like an elephant seal on ice.

My only question is: will it be the fat Oprah, or the not-quite-so-fat Oprah on the ballot?

Does the Left think this pic doesn’t exist or something? Or are they offering up Orca as a sea cucumber does its guts?
