Enough with the celebrities. Let's get a real bona fide workhorse in there who knows how to deal with Congress and how to appoint a functioning cabinet.

Too many dumb citizens. Other than being rich, there is absolutely no reason why this celebrity should even be considered for running a government.

No matter how great of a job she does as president, she won't get the appreciation she deserves (from the left or the right).

We need governmental expertise, not celebrity flash. We need people who know how to deliver to the people of the nation. We don't need popularity contests.

Come on, nation. Smarten up. Winfrey will be a media darling in the same manner as Trumpy was a few years ago. The media will push her to run for office because they can assuage her ego and give her the belief that she can actually run a government. Oprah will be another media product. No matter what her followers say, she is NOT a goddess.

haven't we had enough of TV celebs in the WH?

Even though she is 1000% smarter, more caring than the moron.

Reagan was awful, I called him the acting president
I can't even say the word president talking about the moron

We need people that know government & the constitution, with the interest of the people & our country foremost, that surrounds their-self
with quality people that want to do what is best for the country.

It is not a popularity contest.
