So, who do you think is in the pipeline for 2020?

Who do the Democrats have who could be a good nominee. I'm a Trump supporter, but even I know the only reason he won is because the Dems put him against an unlikable, uncharasmatic opponent. I'm also a registered Democrat who would be willing to go back to the Dems if they found a good nominee (I would have voted Bernie, hated Hillary), otherwise it's more Trump for me. So, who do they have?

What’d er happened to Oprah?

@MrAboo if she's it, it's Trump again for me

@smmartydude Well we cant make that judgment yet, after all we know absolutely nothing of what Oprah supports in terms of policy. She just made a speech about harassment is all. We don’t know how she feels about taxation, healthcare, foreign policy, etc. As annoying of a person as she is, if she ran for presideny on all the right ideas...hell, I’d vote for that.

But if I’m being honest, I already know she’s only running for publicity.

@BlueMetalChick except she is not running.

@ladycae Did she reverse her decision?

@BlueMetalChick she never said she was running. everyone else in the world decided she was, all except for her. You are caught up in the Oprah hype. she has never even said she is considering and when asked has stated she has o intention of running for public office. but that hasn't stopped any people like you from assuming she is and hyping it up. When someone says: "I have no plans to run for public office." it's pretty clear their intention. people who want to run say they want to in order to determine the feasibility of their candidacy. yes her friends and many would like her to run, the woman has said no.

@ladycae I'm not "caught up in the Oprah hype". I can only judge by what people tell me and what I see. I don't watch Oprah on telly myself so I wouldn't really know.

so you admit you have no idea but have already condemned her. nice a simple google search will tell you what everyone else it saying, what gets lost in the shuffle s that o where does she say she is even considering it. i am not a huge oprah fan, but one thing i know she neither needs publicity, power, or money.

@ladycae A simple Google search led me to a Twitter page already dedicated to "Oprah 2020". That threw me for a loop.

Trump needed neither of those things but he still ran for the publicity. He was intending on losing, he said so himself that his original intentions were to get even more famous from his presidential run so he could start his own telly network called "Trump TV."

@BlueMetalChick and whose Twitter account is it? not Oprah. it's started for people to discuss her running. it's not her twitter account. in fact i found 5 oprah 2020 twitter hashtag none belong to oprah and none have any contributions from her. one has someone trying to sound like her but if you read a few tweets it is evident that it is not her.i can start a twitter account with your name. lol does that mean your running? don't believe everything you see on the net/twitter. any topic people want to talk about can become an @twitter topic just like here.

and just in case you are not aware there is a huge difference between oprah and trump. he wants all the publicity he can get. oprah does nothing just for publicity. she would never run for president for publicity. if she decided to run and so far she has not, it would be because she thought she could help the us. she knows her limitations. she knows that there is a hard job as president and that she would have to give up the media empire she has built. she couldn't make movies or tv. that is where her passion is. the fact that so many people want her to run is evidence of how unhappy people are with our current administration. she made a great speech about sexual harassment. that's it. everything else is just hype from everything else. who knows maybe she will decide to run. but i seriously doubt it.
