    Yep...Completely correct but wait......I predict you will be called a 'racist' and a 'misogynist' by the lame feminist left.

    The phone program actually started under Reagan. Don't let facts hit you in the rear on the way out.

    Oprah Is Thinking Maybe She *Could* Run For President
    #Oprah2020?
    By Cavan Sieczkowski
    Oprah Winfrey never thought someone from a show business background with no political experience could rise to the office of POTUS, but here we are. And she’s apparently not ruling out a run of her own.

    The media queen sat down for an interview on the Season 2 premiere of “The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations” on Bloomberg Television, and revealed she’d maybe consider running for president. Rubenstein wondered if Oprah could be the one to break the glass ceiling and be elected the first female president of the United States.

    The 63-year-old mogul replied, “I never considered the question even a possibility. I just thought, ‘Oh.’ I thought, ‘Oh, gee, I don’t have the experience. I don’t know enough.’ And now I’m thinking, ‘Oh.’”
    Oprah has brushed off the idea, telling Stephen Colbert, “Never! No, it’s not my thing.” But, hey, you never know.

    She would seemingly have Michael Moore’s vote. The director said the Democrats need to run a “beloved” candidate.

    “Democrats would be better off if they ran Oprah [Winfrey] or Tom Hanks,” Moore told CNN after Hillary Clinton’s loss in November. “Why don’t we run beloved people? We have so many of them. The Republicans do this – they run [Ronald] Reagan and the Terminator [Arnold Schwarzenegger] and other people. Why don’t we run somebody that the American people love and are really drawn to, and that are smart and have good politics and all that?”

    Oprah’s got our vote!

    The group that Democrats lost when Hillary got beaten like the cur she is, was suburban/rural whites. Oprah isn't going to bring those back into the fold, she'll only create a bigger divide. If Democrats want to win in 2020, they won't do it with a minority candidate of any kind...

    the GOP has run more electable minorities than the Democrats. The Democrats only run racists and unqualified unprincipled hacks, the only type of minorities that make it big in that party of vermin, the ones who routinely sell out their own people. I mean really, out of thousands of much better black pols they could run, they pick people like Obama??? lollollol

    Got to have a white guy to get the rural/suburban whites, eh? Yeah there's nothing wrong with that at all.

    I never really watched Oprah. I have the feeling that she's overrated.

    And what's it going to do to her brand name when it's dragged though the mud during the campaign?

    And what if she IS elected President? What happens to her reputation when she drones a mountain village to kill a terrorist? She'll become the most hated person in the world!

    Hahaa! Just like Hillary would beat Trump? Wow, you libs have no clue how badly you all come off even after you lost so severely. Keep up the great work. I hope Orca does run and she can have Warren as her VP.

    Finally you are talking sense. But I doubt the Democrats will be so wise.

    I appreciate your honesty about your racism, sexism, and bigotry. At least you don't try to hide from it and display it proudly like an arm band or a freshly pressed hood.

    Does anybody think that Pence will get primaried in 2020?

    That somebody like Kasich might challenge the incumbent Pence?

    The Dem nomination is obviously wide open, but Oprah would be an interesting candidate

    Of course. What is wrong with racism?

    Other than it is politically incorrect, that is.

    That's brave behind a computer. I doubt if there was a black guy in the room, you're quiet as a mouse.

    I am not claiming to be brave.

    I am just asking you to explain what is wrong with racism.

    Racism was outlawed some 50 years ago. Affirmative action implemented about the same time. Black people haven't succeeded nearly so well as they should have if they were the equals of Whites.

    Seems to me that Blacks are probably inferior. It seems only argument you have against that conclusion is to threaten violence.

    The fact that you even ask this shows you're part of the problem. I have no inclination to engage in such ignorance.
    Thank goodness dinosaurs like you are dying out.

    Nope, the problem is that all the moral posturing in the world doesn't teach a Black man how to write a computer program.

    And another problem is that there is a new generation of dinosaurs coming right up. Once people start looking around and thinking for themselves they see the politically correct nonsense is just that, nonsense.

    Would we all get a new car?

    Edit- ah someone beat me to it.

    So I'll say no Oprah can't win. She's too liberal.

    If you recall Oprah's show went off the air right after she backed the obamunist for POTUS, her ratings went straight in the tank. So go ahead and run her and see what happens.
