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."
RE: Will her wife approve?
Did she come out? if so, when?
And you get a nuke and you get a nuke
Her popularity was based on giving away gifts. So is she going to promise a new car for everyone that votes for her?
Why not? That’s what obama did.
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.
Makes sense, her campaign slogan will can be, “You get a car, you get a car, you get a car, everyone gets a car.”
Turn her whole administration into a talk show round table with Whoopie Goldberg as the moderator.
How delusional if they think she could, in any way, possibly win more votes than Hillary...That is just delusional. Someone, please, anyone, tell me what she has to offer the fly over states -- Is she going to make the men feel more comfortable with their feminine side...Areufnkiddingme!!! With all this $hit going on with the NFL...American's are awake now, obama could literally never happen again, the people that voted for him solely to cleanse themselves of their guilt, realized the huge mistake they made and will never vote for someone just to assuage their guilt. The 3 AM phone call question will kill her right off the bat...
“Just what we need, a talk show host that doesnt have a single qualification other than being black.”
WRONG! She actually has TWO “qualifications”: she ALSO has a vagina! Therefore, totally qualified: non-white skin + vagina!
She might be able to jog a little but run no.
“Her popularity was based on giving away gifts. So is she going to promise a new car for everyone that votes for her?”
not JUST a new car, but also a new house, a new 70” TV, and free college for all! The perfect Democrat!
She was am actress. Therefore she has several closets with lots of skeletons.
She’s not lilly white
Go for it, DNC!
She is less qualified that a pile of my Saint Bernard’s dung... and at least that dung contributes to my grass growing...
She would get more of the black vote than Obama did... and over 50% of the white women’s vote. Brainless folks who have ever watched her, listened to her, or though highly of her...
Despite the fact that she is every bit as racist (maybe more so) than Baraq Hussein Obama. Even though her theological/religious views are so “out there” as to make Tom Cruise look almost sane...
Won't know for sure unless I see what happens. My sense is she would not do well.
Assuming you did not mean that in an identity politics way...
Interview them at Soccer Mom time right after the View
