(40,416 posts)Dr. Oz? The quackery supporting physician.
Dr. Phil? "I was the worst marriage counselor on the planet" who Oprah has doing fucking marriage counseling!
Jenny McCarthy? Idiot extraordinaire, and anti-vaccination kook. A mind untroubled by thought.
John of God? Psychic surgeon , megachurch scammer.
Or maybe it's bees!
Oprah is an idiot.

Creating a show on Sunday that is spiritual and inspiring without being overtly religious.

(40,416 posts)Oz, Phil, McCarthy, fucking John of God!!!!
Plus, all the other utter bullshit she promotes. Jenny McCarthy alone should disqualify her. And don't get me started about fucking John of God. Look him up!
I despise Oprah Winfrey. She's a babbling idiot.

(7,530 posts)She's had a talk show where she's shown just as many things wrong with society as right things.
Sorry you have a personal issue with her, but I'd suspect you're in the minority of people (disregarding racist mouth-droolers who just have an issue because a minority female is successful.)

(40,416 posts)I have much more than a personal issue with Oprah. She supports people who science and rational thought can only see as lunacy.
Vaccination is one of the three best health ideas humankind has ever invented, along with the flush toilet and potable water. Oprah sponsors idiots who oppose vaccination. That alone should disqualify her from any office in the land. BTW, Drumpf has also expressed anti-vaccination opinions.
And just Google "John of God" to learn about that little gem.
Ignorant and buffoon precisely describe Oprah Winfrey.

(3,609 posts)"IMHO" to your post.
Oprah's not perfect, but she plainly cares about people and improving others' lives. Ignorance and buffoonery should be reserved for the current POTUS.
That said, I don't want her to run for president.

(40,416 posts)I mean other than the psychic surgeon. BTW, he claims that he can cure cancer that way.
And Oprah still supports him. Just Google "Oprah John of God" and you'll see.
That's not just my opinion. That's a fact. No IMHO necessary.

(40,416 posts)Anti-vaccination kook: Jenny McCarthy
Religious and psychic surgeon scammer: Oprah with John of God (not much hubris there )
Oprah supports evil.

(6,930 posts)She seems kind of gullible. Not a good attribute.
longship
(40,416 posts)But there is no kinder way to interpret her rather strong support for quack medicine. It is certainly not beneficial.
A lack of curiosity is not a good attribute, as these things go.
That is why I must stand so strongly against her running for office, or of any discussion thereof.

(7,530 posts)Black, successful, female, popular, built-in fanbase. She's the good version of Trump. They'd have nobody with the enormous it-factor to match her. You thought the news stations waited on an empty podium for 45 to speak...and fawned over his every word...
But I totally understand the reluctance to consider her.
