She.Is.Running!

48. Oh, dear lord no.

She's probably a very nice person. But even though she runs some sort of multi-million dollar enterprise, that does NOT make her qualified to be President.

And don't start spewing nonsense about how she'd hire good people. Where would she find those good people? What are her connections in the many, many areas she needs?

I ran for office once. For the state house of representatives in a state in the midwest. I lost to the popular, incumbent, Republican. And to be honest, had I won, I'd have been at best a mediocre rep. And that's at the state level. I'd like to think I'd have learned on the job, perhaps severed two or three more terms, but who knows?

An Oprah going straight to the White House? Woah!

As it is, for those of you with limited memories, among the criticisms of Obama running in 2008 was that his experience in government was extremely limited. In his case he did a reasonably decent job of bringing good, experienced people on board with him, but he could do that because he'd already been in the Illinois Senate for some 8 years, and then in the US Senate for a couple of years. Not really as strong a background as might have been desired, but at least he had that. Oprah Winfrey has never run for office, not served day one in a legislative body, wouldn't have a clue how to work with Congress.

Clearly Donald Trump likewise hasn't a clue how to work with Congress, but putting another person into the White House with a similar total lack of experience would be madness.
