Oprah’s Mates Say She’s Actually Thinking About Running For Prez In 2020

After an absolute avalanche of tweets following Oprah Winfrey‘s great speech at the Golden Globes demanding the legendary TV host run for president in 2020, it seems that she’s actually entertaining the idea. According to two of her close friends who spoke to CNN, she’s apparently “actively thinking about it”.

Winfrey has denied that she has any intention of running in the past (“There will be no running for office of any kind for me.”),  sources say that her confidants have ben privately urging her to step up and run against Donald Trump in 2020. Oprah herself has apparently not made her mind up either way.

Her longtime partner Stedman Graham commented on the reports straight after Winfrey’s Globes speech. “It’s up to the people,” Graham told a Los Angeles Times reporter. “She would absolutely do it.”

Winfrey’s complete lack of governing experience doesn’t seem to be a barrier for her now that Trump has become El Jefe. She addressed that point in a TV appearance last year. “I thought, ‘Oh gee, I don’t have the experience, I don’t know enough.’ And now I’m thinking, ‘Oh. Oh!’”

Despite the absolute flood of support for Oprah being president, there’s also significant opposition – and not just from conservatives. People are understandably a little troubled by the idea of democratic politics being whittled down to picking which billionaire you like the most. Kinda reminds one of that old-timey concept of the divine right of kings.

That being said, it’s entirely possible that America fully deserves Oprah Winfrey vs Donald Trump as their presidential race. All the currents of history have led to this moment.

But either way it’s clear she hasn’t made a decision, despite this conversations having been gone on for “months”. If it happens, consider it the absolute nadir of American political development, something they should have foreseen when they wrote that Constitution all those years ago.
