Michael Moore appeared on CNNs State of the Union Sunday and suggested it was time for Democrats to think about running beloved non-politicians like Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks for president.
CNNs Jake Tapper played a clip in which Oprah expressed her renewed hope based on what she saw last week during Donald Trumps meeting with President Obama. To hear president-elect Trump say that he had respect for President Obamait felt that he had reached a moment where he was actually humbled by that experience
I think everybody can take a deep breath, Oprah said.
Michael Moore replied, Well, thats why we love Oprah. He added, Somebody needs to say that. We do need hope. But then Moore went on to say, Look thats the sideshow that needs to happen in a week like this but, frankly, Democrats would be better off if they ran Oprah or Tom Hanks. Why dont we run beloved people? We have so many of them. The Republicans do this. They run Reagan and the Terminator and other people. Why dont we
why dont we run somebody that the American people love? he said.
This is exactly the turn I predicted Democrats might make when I wrote about their thin bench last Wednesday:

It is time to identify, isolate and target progressivism. It MUST be destroyed in the minds of the electorate. It is the path to tyranny as surely as Heroin is the path to the grave.
Seems like a good way for Oprah and Hanks to ruin their careers.
Re Liawatha...if she ran and lost, a Mooch run would make three women candidates in a row, in a party that is currently at least paying lip service to the notion of bringing white men back into the party. I think Barry’s gang would oppose a Fauxcahontas run for that reason.
The rats are fractured right now, so the infighting could get interesting.

Sorry OPE, you and the MSM were being played by a master.
Bwahahahahaha...Great idea! Please do it.
Because unlike Trump, they wouldn’t take the pay cut.
They even have their own religion now, headed by their own Popessa.
And notice how Hollywood is referred tom almost as a truism and without irony, as the entertainment wing of the Democratic Party.
Sorry but Kanye announced he was running First.
Once again, I’m afraid the Fat One is onto something here.
I fully expect the Dems to take a hard look at nominating a Hollywood celebrity next time.
At least that team would have been a better choice than the field they put up this time!
Michael Mooron should run...
... on a tread mill for 10 miles a day.
I would personally love to see Oprah divide her followers by forcing them to take sides.
Tom Hanks’ hardcore ghetto gangster* son could help them get out the black vote. He threatened to shoot Howard Stern so he’s a tough like Joe Biden.
(*Note: 100% pasty faced white boy)
Trump and Pence worked their butt off to win. For anybody thinking about running in the future they’ve set the ‘work ethic’ bar very high.

A two for one token what a deal.

Hanks and Oprah could have won this year. The dem mistake was believing the country would accept a career criminal.
Would Tom Hanks be at the top of the ticket? Or would he play “bottom” to Oprah or, as you suggest, Mooch?
