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.Jimmy Kimmel was "on board" with it.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.
NBC sent out of completely non-partisan tweet:
Here is a segment from her speech:Nothing but respect for OUR future president. #GoldenGlobespic.twitter.com/h4hkjewu0K — NBC (@nbc) January 8, 2018
'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:

More important than NBC tweeting (now deleted):
In 1966, Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in a single game playing for Polk High School.
She’d be a mess. Can’t wait.
OPRAHMBA
Dude ... I like okra, breaded and fried. And I have no particular beef with orcas, either. Oprah is a whale, though ...
Y’know, being anti politics is just too easy at times. Exhibit “A” in the clown show presents itself.
Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.
Pocahontas and Kamala Harris will Harpoon, dissect and render to Lamp Oil Ocra before she can consume a bucket of the Colonel’s extra greasy Chicken.
Now, all that said...
I don't know if she is Chicago enough for the brass knuckles of national politics. Even if she is, there is the heretofore unspoken element - Do the Democrat Overlords, e.g., Hillary, Uncle Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Sherrod Brown, Deval Patrick, Sen. Warren, blah blah blah, WANT Oprah as the nominee? Dem Deep Staters may not be so hip with her at the helm.
Obviously, on the issues she'd be a disaster. And it's possible she may not want the likes of 4chan and FR looking into her 4th grade proclivities. 2020 is a long way off...a lotta dirt can come to the surface (look at the pics on this thread...and that's only after 24 hours!).
But I wouldn't write her off just yet.
Wasn’t Oprah’s speech “sexist”?
But can she win MS: it’s not that conservative any more.
No
Her gender preference has been suspect for a long time
And now that everyone has seen what a demorat has done to us and the economy things will be different going forward.Those rustbelt democrats that voted for Trump in 16 election aint going back to the rat party.
She has no mind for politics.She wouldn’t know Iran from albania. She has no known talent.She has never done anything but play her race card. We can only hope.

Proud to say I have never seen 2 minutes of the Okra show.
Any country that would elect Oprah is a country I want no part of.
That photo is so disturbing.
