Your asking me to pick the difference between two potential cadidates leaving aside everythinv we know about one which shows that they know what they're doing and are effective at it.
Oh, and from her own show I'm guessing that Oprah is far less liberal or in favour of a public health system than you think. Her favourite snake oil salesmen wouldn't last a day in a public health system and her personal profits would dry up in a liberal society.
Jesus fucking Christ, I was addressing the context of your previous response. How was Hillary different from Oprah in terms of policies or being in the hands of corprorations? You're just guessing then that Oprah doesn't stray far from hard right policies.
And of course experience matters, but I put that aside to respond to what you were saying earlier.
For one Clinton had policies, and as the 2016 primaries wound on showed she was amenable to adjusting those policies as needs and eviidence dictated. Aside from her anti-vaxx and sham medicine credentials you can point to not one singlepolicy position Oprah has that is a government competence. All she has ever done is mouth substanceless platitutes and shill snake oil to the gullible

As a woman totally dependant on the current system, Oprah's not going to bite the corporate hand that feeds her.
Bull which is why she backed Obama in both his runs.
You think every single billionaire is a republican?
Obama in economic and budgetary terms was a Reagan republican.
That's the Dems biggest problem actually, every time the repugs tack right on the economy the Dems tack the same way to stay as close to possible.
One final word on Oprah's endorsement of Obama: image. Celebrities give out endorsements when they think it makes them look good. Given the demographics of the people Oprah is fleecing, it made sense for her to publicly back Obama, even if she couldn't stand him in private.
