Oprah (Winfrey) for President?

[Valka D'Ur]

Oprah could never be president because then she'd have to be called 'President Winfrey' by everyone and forego universal recognition as just 'Oprah'. Her first name is the brand, that's the power word; she'd be mad to give it up.

Not everyone. Just the bureaucrats, politicians, and newscasters. Ordinary people could still call her "Oprah" as long as it wasn't a formal meeting or somesuch.

Here in Canada, if someone refers to "Justin" there are two choices as to which person is being talked about: Teenagers would probably think it was the "singer" (honestly, any country that wants him can have him), and anyone older would likely think it was the Prime Minister.

Oprah vs Trump would be the greatest election cycle in the history of all the universe. I want to see it.

 

[Borachio]

I think it might just degenerate into them calling each other fat.

"You fat."
"No. You fat."

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think it might just degenerate into them calling each other fat.

"You fat."
"No. You fat."

And then Oprah turns to the American audience and goes:
"You are fat, and you are fat, and you are fat ... you're all fat!"

Turns out Oprah doesn't actually want to be president after all:

LB: And you speak for so many. How do you feel when people say, “Oprah 2020”?
OW: [Laughs] I actually saw a mug the other day ... I thought it was a cute mug. All you need is a mug and some campaign literature and a T-shirt. I’ve always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not. And so it’s not something that interests me. I don’t have the DNA for it. Gayle—who knows me as well as I know myself practically—has been calling me regularly and texting me things, like a woman in the airport saying, “When’s Oprah going to run?” So Gayle sends me these things, and then she’ll go, “I know, I know, I know! It wouldn’t be good for you—it would be good for everyone else.” I met with someone the other day who said that they would help me with a campaign. That’s not for me.

Trump-Zuckerberg 2020

Be afraid! Be really afraid!

 

[CurtSibling]

It is time for Hulk Hogan to step up and become the splendorous barbarian king this world desperately needs.

 

[Zkribbler]

Alas soothsayers, your prognostications are poppycock!

After the State of the Union address, Congress Joe Kennedy III will be giving the rebuttal. He will be awesome! He will call down the thunder, lift up the downtrodden, and sound a clarion call! Evil shall tremble, angels shall dance, and you shall forever tell your progeny, "Glory be, I saw that speech!".

His yurt was wide enough to fit fifty horses, and his bow could shoot across the moon!

Hogan is a sell-out. Jesse - The body - Ventura 2020

In politics he goes by "The Mind" btw

 

[Broken_Erika]

I say Sheen-Busey 2020! Make America Awesome Again!

 

[Nobody]

I voted Jill, i don't know who she is, so i consider her more qualified than the other two.

 

[Borachio]

She was a green candidate at the last election.

She seems eminently sensible to me, so naturally she had no chance.

"You fat."
"No. You fat."

Damn you Borachio! You made me choke on my gum!

You left out the most important last line where she says "I don't have the DNA for it", which I regarded as more than a little bit tongue-in-cheek
