Trump will NEVER have the viewbase that Oprah has. :v Oprah practically has her own religion. She's got magazines, food, millions of fans, etc. People worship the ground she walks on.

How could Trump compete with the big O?

Unless Oprah fucks up immensely or some career-ending dirt is found on her, there is no way she'd lose to Trump.

no, because the votes led to the electoral votes, which led to her losing.

she didn't have the votes distributed the right way

It doesn't work that way... the electoral college votes how their states vote. :v But each state has a different amount of votes based on its' size. Trump got the states with high numbers of electoral college votes, so he won.

BUT Oprah has fans in every state. :v She'd flip everything blue!

I doubt it. The people supporting Trump are dumb and like his "straight talk" and "casual bigotry". Oprah likely wouldn't garner as many fanatical voters. I don't think their ratings are an indicator of anything.

Hillary lost by basically a couple hundred votes, and she was arguably the second-least popular candidate in history. Oprah would fucking decimate Trump if she was on the ballot.

Oprah has been photographed handing women off to Harvey Weinstein, and she is responsible for Dr. Phil and The Secret.

Lots of people love Dr. Phil and "The Secret." I've got a copy of "The Secret" in my purse right now.

If you think ANYONE is going to be able to beat Trump in 2020, you're delusional. Unemployment is down, illegal immigration is down, taxes are down, regulations are down, jobs are up, economy is up, consumer confidence is up. If you don't like Donald Trump that's fine, but if you can't admit that the country is doing GREAT under his presidency, well, you're probably a liberal. What can a Democrat possibly run on? "Vote for me, I'm going to raise your taxes!" "Vote for me, because you know all that extra money you have? I'll take it away from you!" "Vote for me if you want more illegal aliens in the country!" "Vote for me if you want your retirement fund to lose value!"

That doesn't change the fact his favorability is in the shitter.

It's pretty telling that conservatives lost their shit after this "Oprah 2020" nonsense started and started trying to smear her. Fox News in particular had at least 3 articles in 24 hours saying "Oprah did bad thing" afterwards.

Not that I think she will or should run, btw.

Another thought I recently had: if Oprah did run, will all the totally not-racist Republicans/conservatives start claiming that Oprah's birth certificate is fake, just like they did with Obama's birth certificate? Will this happen with every single not-white candidate?
