Just speculation at this point but.....

Why would you think Oprah is not competent? 

That's just insane. She isn't dumb nor is she a grifter.

No no no no, she is NOT the same as electing even Reagan. She is business savy and yes she DOES have the name recognition, yes, so?

I bet you'd have no problem electing Bill Gates or Stephen Hawking.

Nobody knew who Obama was nationally until he ran. Nobody knew who Warren was nationally until the "Occupy" movement when she made that famous video in her home.


She is quite competent and I am quite sure she would get support from Obama AND Michelle, so if they throw their support behind her, are you going to doubt them too?

If fame cost us anything, no matter how wrong it was, and it was, Bill's affair, and Hillary being in the public spotlight all that time allowed that fodder.

Hillary has had the same amount of long term fame too. 

Oprah WOULD not spend her campaign being a jackass. She would not be watching MSNBC every day, nor take off every weekend golfing. She would NOT surround herself with incompetent goons like Conjob or Omarosa. 

I think she would in very short order, reconstitute the EPA, bring back Obama's health care policies, AND protect medicare and medicaid. BUT 2018 will be a huge help to WHOMEVER we nominate and if we have a majority and a DEM president ALL of them will work together. 

I wouldn't focus on her celebrity as much as I would focus on how she would use it. AGAIN, Hillary would have made a fantastic president, but she was famous for decades too.
