Seeing some buzz today about Oprah running.

The more I think about it, the more I think that's the democrat's best play.

They can't attack Trump on his record. Instead, they are painting him as a sexist, racist, madman. Oprah is a woman, black, and universally popular. She perfectly counters all of Trump's negatives. Simultaneously, she can match him in terms of business success. She's also pretty invincible when it comes to ridicule. What deragotory nickname could Trump use that would be even close to apt?

I have tremendous respect for Oprah. Her story of self-made success is exactly what my conservative, anti-entitlement heart likes to hear.

I will say that of anyone the Democrats might run, Oprah has earned an open mind from me. I think Trump is doing fine, but if he ran against Oprah, I think I would give both candidates a clean slate. That's just one man's anecdote, but I gotta believe alot of independents might share my opinion here.

I agree with the sentiment. I can tell Scott Adams is afraid of Oprah given his tweet on it today. I think in the past he says if she runs she wins. I'm not sure I agree, but I think she would probably be the best candidate the Dems can put up.

I don't think she has any plans to run nor does she want to. She's probably smart enough to know that Trump would ruin her life.

Ikr. Barely any words start with the letter O.
