After his splashy announcement Tuesday that he's running for the Republican presidential nomination, billionaire businessman Donald Trump made another bold declaration: Oprah Winfrey would be a "great" running mate.
"I think Oprah would be great. I'd love to have Oprah," Trump told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "I think we'd win easily, actually."

Warren Harding said that, and Coolidge personified it.
The Donald is playing the Race Card or what I believe is the patronizing card. If he can learn how to do it as good as the DemonRATs, he will beat them at their own game. I can see someone like Oprah come up to his podium and give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Now way will any of his DemonRAT opponents duplicate such an event—with all the press cameras rolling.
Generous of him to say that 3 months ago - I’m assuming that Oprah still hasn’t accepted the concept? Or was there an update?
NO! SHE WOULD NOT!
Little Donnie pulled a girls pigtail in grade 3 .... grow up SF! We are in a fight to keep a Democrat out of the WH and take back the Republican Party and undo Obama’s horror, and you are a speed bump.
I see three boobs
The guy is an entertainer. He says something funny, friendly, and off the cuff and these idiots present it as if he were dead serious. Really?
Last night he said that his first pic for VP was Kayene West. Did he *mean* that? Of course not.
These people need to grow a sense of humor.
He’s toying with them.
Excellent! (even though 16 year old story) This will help get the low low low information voters vote of all races. And since the VP does absolutely nothing there is no risk. Oprah would be better than Joe Biden.
Agreed.
Oprah would be in Syria telling ISIS that she will evacuate all the women on special cruise ships, first class. The ISIS will be on their knees to think they will have to go back to sheep and cooking their own Kibbeh bil sanieh into crispy critters.
He's toast!;-)
Anyone who took this seriously probably believes that when Trump said he might choose Kanye West for VP last night on Jimmy Fallon’s show he meant it.
Sheesh!
I’m not voting for Donald Kardashian for president. Sorry.
Is it really possible you anti Trump maroons do not see the pure genius in this statement?
It’s Trump shrewd strategy for winning the Black vote. Through selective flattery. He’s a master at earning free media time and notoriety.
Have you noticed that there really aren’t many important cultural idols or hero’s dissing Trump? It’s all talking heads, and the politically self righteous.
I think it’s going to get more difficult for the George Will’s, Charles Krauthammer’s and Brit Hume’s to keep up their dislike for him.
“This doesn’t sound good”
Lol, what it sounds like to me is Trump is a GENIUS and just picked up another 3-5 % of the black vote.
