Newly minted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump believes he has a way to guarantee that hell win the White House: Oprah Winfrey on the ticket.
"I think Oprah would be great. I'd love to have Oprah," Trump told ABC News George Stephanopoulos in an excerpt from Trump's first interview after his Tuesday morning presidential announcement.
"I think we'd win easily, actually.
Trump previously floated Winfrey, one of the most recognizable people in the world, as a potential running mate back in 1999, the last time he formed an exploratory committee for the presidency. When asked by Larry King on CNN if he has a vice presidential pick in mind, her name came to mind.

I think not. If Oprah had any political aspirations, she would be running for President, herself.

Oprah was and remains an ardent Obama supporter, and Trump is a racist POS Birther.
