Romney says Oprah Winfrey suggested a unity presidential ticket in 2020

Oprah Winfrey reportedly suggested running for president alongside Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on a unity ticket in 2020 to thwart former President Trump’s reelection hopes.

Romney disclosed to The Atlantic staff writer McKay Coppins that the media mogul pitched the unity ticket with the moderate senator “to save the country,” according to book excerpts published by Axios.

Coppins’s book “Romney: A Reckoning” comes out next week.

Romney said he deflected the idea, pointing to his belief that such a push would benefit Trump’s reelection chances.

A source familiar with Winfrey said she was never serious about running, though some confidants supported the effort.

I guess they’d clench the black Mormon vote.

I'm pretty sure Burgess Owens is voting Trump.

Yeah...it’s one for the “what the hell are they thinking” file. But Oprah’s more about the feels, than thinking.

Didn’t Orca just piss off most Americans with her phony fund raising antics in Maui?

The left is doing whatever they can to siphon off Trump votes. Too many Rinos one will take the bait.

Other than Trump every candidate has been a unity candidate, that’s the problem. They are all on the same team, just pretending to be in opposition to make it look like there is a choice. This really means ‘let’s not split the uniparty ticket with our little two-parties con this time, just just pick one of us and let them take down Trump’

The idea is a non-starter. Romney did not want to be president, so he took a dive in 2012. He would most certainly not want to be vice president.

I’m 74 years old and the most important thing I’ve learned is that there is no such thing as “unity” in this world. Somebody is always going to get screwed by their “friends”.

It's hard for the younger generations to understand, but I would rather have as President the guy who served as a capable on-budget administrator for the Topeka Water District than some celebrity whose daily bills were paid by some aide ten levels down who was never allowed to speak to the boss. :)

A President is the Commander in Chief and the Chief Administrator of the United States - not the National Talk Show Host. That's why governors are much better at the job than legislators - and Obama's core competency was NCAA Tournament brackets.

LOL! Seriously though, Oprah would have received significant support.

Orca "suggested" that old white people all need to be disposed of.
