It appears that progressives are trying to find a possible candidate to go up against President Trump in 2020 that they’re now considering former talk show host Oprah Winfrey, which would no doubt garner the black vote and of course the woman’s vote.
No doubt identity politics for Democrats and the media plays well in both New York and Hollywood along with name appreciation equal to that of President Trump.
Additionally, the rumor of a potential Trump, Winfrey showdown especially after her style speech at the Golden Globes Awards has progressives salivating.
Actress Reese Witherspoon made ridiculous compare on Oprah to Jesus in the pantheon of importance, that’s how insane the left is, even NBC News has given up its facade of being a serious news organization and is now openly cheerleading for Oprah.
Nevertheless, maybe a reality check is in order, first of all, the election is 3-years away, and second President Trump has already proved as perhaps becoming one of the most significant administrations in American history.
Add to that these additional drawbacks for Oprah;
She has no experience. This talking point is likely to have little credibility after Trump’s election.
She’s as far-left as Obama, and in fact, endorsed him in the 2008 primaries. She would most likely be an extension of his debunked economic policies which proved to be a tragedy for America.
She’s Humored Conspiracy Theories. From Jenny McCarthy on vaccines to the New Age silliness of The Secret, from initially defending fraudster James Frey to pushing nonsense about the meat industry, she hasn’t exactly been afraid of promoting untruth.
She’s having problems with numerous sexual scandals evolving her sponsored schools in South Africa where many girls were sexually abused. The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy School for Girls near Johannesburg was hit with two separate serious sex scandals in two years.In 2009, a series of students sexually abused other students; and the year before, a matron sexually abused 15 girls. “This has been one of the most devastating experiences, if not the most devastating experience, of my life” Winfrey, stated.
It’s proven that name calling doesn’t work well against Trump. Hillary Clinton tried to define Trump and it backfired time and again. The President is at his best when he’s actually defending himself. His persona is such that he ends up winning whatever Oprah may try to throw at him. He proved that he can handle multiple attacks, and is actually in his element if it becomes a street fight.
Despite the overwhelmingly negative coverage Trump in his first year in office has thus far proven to be an excellent leader. The President is currently controlling over a growing economy, and historic numbers in both job creation an unemployment.
Do you think Oprah Winfrey has a chance of being the next president?
