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.

Hell yes! ?— Shelly (@ShellyZen) September 29, 2017
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."
Will we all receive....a new car?
On a side note, The only kind of TV game show I’d be willing to be on is one where the only prize is cash.
At least she’s someone who has been successful on her own merits.
I admit that I watched the channel once. In the midst of it management upheaval (a few months after it debuted), they ran movies, and I watched one.
I've locked the channel out since then, just in case I accidentally stop on it. It's nestled amongst a block of channels that I check out.
I do recall some liberals claim that if they take care of him he’d take care of them. That’s the idiocy of democrat voters.
They are going to need a bigger plane
‘Sophia’s back there’s gonna be changes ‘round here.
A car in every garage!
Would they notice the connection to Hoover?

Why pick her of all the wonderful candidates the dems have: louis farrakhan, keith ellison, linda sarsour, al sharpton?
so... a washed up, over weight, ugly, idiot is the Democrats best chance?
lol
well... I guess she’s a better pick than Hillary was!
ROFL
“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’s a tough one. On the list of liberal priorities when it comes to voting, which trumps the other — transgender, or vagina a person is born with?
Too much like work for this overpaid diva. Plus, I don’t think a single man would vote for her. Is that racism or sexism? Lucky Opra, she can sue in two directions.
Considering how many stupid morons there are out there; with our luck, she just might pull it off and get elected.
Bring them in, interview them, give them plenty of sympathy and empathy. That should do the trick.
A perfect running mate would be Obama’s friend Pimp With A Limp.
What if you don’t drive; like me, I wonder if I could get a free condo instead.
That Podhoretz is one nasty guy. He compared Oprah favorably to Trump on point after point. For example, he says Oprah is more personally responsible for amassing her fortune than Trump, and she made hers more honestly. All that anti-Trump bile is going to gurgle up and choke him one of these days.
“Free car for everyone in the audience!!”
She hasn’t been that popular since she campaigned for Obama in 2008.
A self-confessed cocaine user and baby murderer? Hey, she’s got MY vote!
