I am sure she's a good person. But the President!?
Don't you want a brand new car for free?
UGGGGGGG................
THE winner of a presidential election is a representative of the winning PARTY, they are not a dictator whom solely makes policy.
I say "Oprah" but I am also talking about Bernie, or Hillary or Warren, or even Cobert if he chose to run. I DON'T CARE.
The president, would STILL need a congress to work with, and would also be there to make SCOTUS PICS which affect court cases long after 4 or 8 years.
Oprah would still be working with the rest of the party on the issues we want, such as universal health care, expanding medicaid and medicare and social security. THAT would not be an "Oprah" issue, but a HOUSE AND SENATE AND WHITE HOUSE TOGETHER.
WE ARE NOT as progressives or liberals going to undo all the damage the GOP is causing if we get stuck on infighting.
