If Oprah is the compromise candidate in 2020, she’s gonna beat Trump. White women adore her.
Maybe 30 years ago
If the Republicans are caught flat-footed, sure she will, but if they do some oppo research and prepare, she will end up flopping because she has always been allowed to control her image since nobody really wants to think ill of a sympathetic seeming tv personality who gives away goodies to random people. What’s not to love? But control of the executive branch is a very different thing and it’s sort of like Michelle Obama in that people put up with her and say nice things because she was in a position that was public and she wasn’t doing anything that could hurt people beyond the lunch thing. There is a big difference between a job that requires you to be Miss Congeniality vs someone who has to play hardball with other world leaders, and rightly so.
