Sean Spicer knocks Oprah’s political inexperience — after working for a game show host with no political experience

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer cautioned media mogul and actual billionaire Oprah Winfrey of thinking of a presidential run in 2020 because she has no experience.

During a Monday appearance on “Good Morning Britain,” Spicer seemed to dismiss the assumption that Winfrey has a shot at the high office.

“She doesn’t have the political infrastructure,” Spicer said. “And we’ve seen this before in our history — where people who have tried to pop in who are not in politics and have had a difficult time adjusting.”

“Sean! Sean! Sean!” host Piers Morgan shouted at Spicer. “The current president of the United States had no political experience! Sean! You were his press secretary! Have you forgotten Donald Trump?!”

It makes sense though, remember, cons dont have to follow any rules, ever and dont have to have experience or morals and to date no liberal or democrat has had enough of them even though they have more in their pinky than any 25 cons combined do in their entire bodies.

By the way, Oprah Winfrey is an exceedingly successful business woman. Unlike Trump, she's smart, surrounds herself with excellent people and she has the humility to recognize her own short-comings.

I don't want her for president but she'd certainly do better than Trump. Hell, my 17-year old cocker spaniel would do a better job than Trump.

I just think it would be very interesting to replace Trump with an African-American woman. Wow!

On edit, an African-American woman thousands of times more intelligent, loved, beautiful, empathetic, capable, uniting and just plain nearly perfect than he is.

Have we at long last found the person that Trump won't deride as a loser or a failure? Or is he just having trouble finding an adjective that begins with the letter "O"?

So they are technically the "intelligence" behind the madness if you dig deep enough.
