Why Not President Oprah?

National Review ^ | Jan 08, 2018 | Kevin D. Williamson

If only everyone were as smart as the people at the National Review we would have a truly qualified President Clinton and everyone would marvel at how efficiently things were run. Instead, we're stuck with a celebrity on par with the other dumb celebrity Ronald Reagan.

Wow. NRO was dead to me a while ago, now this?

This is beyond doubling-down.

[luvbach1]

I see a parallel between the “Messiah” and “the Oprah” being touted for president on the basis of one speech. We know how that turned out.

[RC one]

[Olog-hai]

Williamson just had to evoke this meme, didn’t he.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Barack with a vagina. NO THANKS.

If only the brain dead morons, over at NR, actually knew the FACTS about ANYTHING, anything at all ( Oprah doesn’t have a “good ratings” anymore and lost most of her audience, way back in 2007-8, when she wen t to bat for Obama ! ), perhaps their anti-Trump articles might at least contain one, JUST ONE,kernel of truth in them. But these mordantly STUPID #NEVERTRUMPERS are as bad as the Hilary and Bernie cultists!

The National Review is full of self-satisfied creeps. Without the benefit of Williams being honest enough to state it, the whole premise of the article is that the classless boobs of America are now stupid enough to be ready for an entire government of composed of celebrities.

FU Williams. America elected President Ronald Reagan, a former actor who began a political career 20 years before becoming President, against the advice of our “batters “and he turned out to be the one to achieve victory in the cold war with and to bring America back from the economic brink.

Williams derides President Trump as a celebrity but he's much more than that. He is very astute businessman and self-made billionaire who made his money in the cutthroat New York real estate and construction business. Trump is an executive not just a celebrity. Also Trump was a celebrity because he knows how to manipulate journalists and the new media for free.

No matter what the MSM talking heads and the professional politicians say, President Trump is playing them like a fiddle.

Oparah drinks. She was taking that she makes the best margaritas and that she now coaches people on how to do shots. Ok....

[Boardwalk]

Talking she coaches shots on the Kelly and Ryan show. I bet some alcoholics fell right off the wagon after that show.

[jazminerose]

I’m always impressed when a writer can work ‘ersatz’ into an article twice.

[KJC1]

LOL, me too. Or is that hashtagMEToo?

I'm actually scared of a Oprah Winfrey run. It's the kind of brain dead idolization they would eat up, along with the low information voters. It really all depends on the 2018 elections and that historically goes to the party out of power. What could save this is the economy is going to be running in high gear.

The Senate could possibly reach the magic 60+ Republicans need to REALLY blow the RATS out of the District of Corruption. If that happens there is not a RAT on Earth that could win in 2020.

[Does so]

The voters who elected Obama TWICE?

[Nateman]

Yep

[CopperTop]

Ok, Kevin. How 'bout we just skip the BS and just gourd head with a Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho campaign like the manual said? d;^)

[mabarker1]

Are You sure that the zer0 doesn’t have one ?

[broken_arrow1]

Black, woman, lesbian. What else do they need?

[Cowboy Bob]

I would like to see CNN do some polls.

“Who do you support for the Democrat nominee...Oprah or Sen. Warren? Oprah or Sen. Sanders...Oprah or Sen. Harris”

[Hardastarboard]

I heard an excerpt of Oprah’s speech. That highly polished political genius doesn’t know the difference between “persecute” and “prosecute”.
