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 think Romney is full of crap

[dfwgator]

You mean crap is full of Romney.

Unity? I guess they’d clench the black Mormon vote.

Brahaahahhahahahahhahahahhh

[cableguymn]

I guess if they want to run together as Democrats. Because that’s what they are

[HYPOCRACY]

Who would he pick to be the Republican on the ticket?

[Nextrush]

In the scheme of colors this would have been a “Brown Ticket” as in you know what I mean kind of a ticket...sarc

[Zathras]

This is probably very likely.
This is why Romney and Crazy Liz lost their minds.
It wasn’t till they saw the polling that they realized all the $$$ in the world was never going to get either of them past the primary.
When you can’t even take your home state, its time to hang it up.

[Zathras]

The plan ticket was Romney and Crazy Liz.

Opie Winfree. America’s TV step-niece.

[DJ Frisat]

Let’s be blunt: F*** them both...

[HYPOCRACY]

The vanity ticket.

LOL! Southpark should do another 'More Crap' episode with Romney as crap instead of Bono.

[rdl6989]

Is this a joke????

[Jim Noble]

I believe, just like 1860, there will be four major parties duking it out.

Romney and Oprah fit the bill for a Bell-Everett type ticket.

I thought it was The Bee, but nooooo......

Past time to put him in a mental institution.

[ansel12]

Oprah was Trump’s Veep choice in his first play for a presidential nomination.

Much has changed.

The country did well under Trump and you’ve never seen so many fools trying to “save” the country. They seem fine now that the country and the world are nearing financial ruin and world war. Go figure.

Oprah will do just about anything to stay relevant.
