    So the names getting dropped for President are people like Oprah and the Rock? My biggest fear of Trump all along is that he would destroy the traditions and values we were still barely clinging to before, that the Trump path to the White House is the path from now forward.

    BEING ON TV A LOT IS NOT A GOOD QUALIFICATION FOR PRESIDENT! Seriously, voters need to stop being idiots and elect someone that would actually be good at the job. Both of those people are better human beings than Trump, but not one bit more qualified.

    Oprah doesn't need nuclear weapons. There is a sentence I never though I would have to say.

    Oprah has does a lot more for people and has manned better boards than Trump, thats for sure, but really don't want to see any more celebrity presidents.

    She'd probably make for a good cabinet member.

    She would definitely win though.

    I did an informal survey of this on my FB and even my most liberal friends weren't sold on this idea.

    The consensus is:
    1) She's a solid businesswoman.
    2) She seems to be a decent person.
    3) Trump lowering the bar so low is the only reason this is even being considered.

    Everyone would prefer someone with relevant experience. But would take Oprah over Trump if those were the only two options. I didn't ask how The Rock would rank in the pack.

    Oprah telling us that whole generations of people, aka old people, just need to die.
    Good campaign commercial right here.



    Fuck those old people right? They are all racist anyways, good riddance. Now go vote for Oprah old people, because she needs your vote. Die after.

    If Trump and X are the only two options, where X= Non-Trump object, sentient or otherwise, I would generally prefer X (Offer not valid for Roy Moore or Steve Bannon). That isn't really a sign that something or someone is actually a good candidate for president.

    Floyd Mayweather is probably about the bottom end of people I would support over Trump. If you get anyone worse then that then I just lose all hope for the country and move to Canada.

    Seriously, lets get an actual serious candidate, but it is still two years off, the serious candidates won't announce until early-mid 2019.

    Nope need a strong unapologetic Liberal Democrat, who’s willing to go at Trumps throat. And follow up on over turning all his policy’s.

    Welp, like it or not she's not wrong. The elimination of certain societal issues will require the generation in which that is fundamentally ingrained into their psyche to no longer be around.

    But if it makes you feel better to twist what she said into some sort of genocidal statement then knock yourself out. But no one believes that's what she meant. Not even you.

    We have minorities in the US that are just as racist, should we just paint their whole generation as racist and wish them dead too?

    Yes, the struggles of being oppressed by a minority. There are not as many of them as us, but they are ferocious.

    I'm not playing this game. It's obvious what Oprah meant and your attempts to twist it around show more about your agenda than anything.

    That's more or less where my feelings on the matter lie as well.

    I am not twisting anything, she painted generations of people as racist and wanted them to die off so racism would somehow go away.
