Will Oprah Winfrey change her mind about running for president?
For years, many fans of the left-leaning media mogul, former talk show host, actress, philanthropist and longtime supporter for former President Barack Obama have yearned for this to happen. The prospects seemed dimmer than ever when Winfrey told The Hollywood Reporter's nbsp;Awards Chatter podcast in June, "I will never run for public office."
But on Thursday, their hopes to see Winfrey in the White House soared again after she retweeted and commented on John Podhoretz's recent New York Post Op-Ed column titled "Democrats' best hope for 2020: Oprah."
"@jpodhoretz Thanks for your VOTE of confidence!" Winfrey wrote.

Desperate times. We might need her. She is wise and genuinely cares. And is charismatic as hell.— shauna cross (@ShaunaCross) September 29, 2017

In his column, Podhoretz wrote about Winfrey's recent debut as a special contributor for CBS' 60 Minutes, which saw her in Michigan interviewing 14 voters, half of whom voted for President Donald Trump in the 2016 election, about their thoughts on the U.S. leader now.
He was impressed by her interviewing skills, how she was "listening, asking, speaking without judgment, trying to find common ground." He said Winfrey is "uniquely positioned, should she wish to commit herself, to seek the Democratic nomination for president and challenge Trump in 2020."
Please run!
LOL. They lost with an ugly old fat toad, now they run another ugly fat toad? Who’s the VP? Michael Moore?
Well, this toad WOULD get more of the black racist vote.
ugh... there are enough stupid people out there that would vote for her.
she’s just the kind of benevolent dictator the left would love to get behind.
cars for everyone
Mope-rah!
She is likable. But people instinctively want somebody who can make difficult decisions well when hiring an executive. I dont think people will think thats her.
She has as much chance of being elected as her one time new TV network had of making money.
All she would need is a sex change operation and she would have all of the necessary qualities to be the hand-down best candidate that the Dems ever had.
How will Oprah handle the likes of Kim Jong-Un or the Ayatollah of Iran?
Will we all receive....a new car?
Another red billionaire. “Leftist rules for thee, not for me”
Just what we need, a talk show host that doesn’t have a single qualification other than being black. We already went through that.
She would have a positive effect on Democrats’ feelings, which matters most.
Will her “wife” approve?
I would expect a repeat of what Reagan experienced in 1984 when running for re-election.. he won 49 of the 50 states because his TAX CUTS were so popular.
She is black ..she is female and she is a tv personality.
she has a better chance then hildabeast.
Hillary Clinton had the greatest name recognition and war chest (2 billion dollars) of any candidate, plus overwhelming support of the national media. Bring it on O...
Dope-Rah and the Faux Indian Elizabeth Scalp-um-White-Man Warren. . . dream ticket. That would empty the graveyards for extra votes.
Just how bad is it for Democrats that they are pinning their hopes on Oprah? After Obama, no way.
And all this talk about how Michelle would be unbeatable is just talk among the drug addled left. After Obama, no way.
