Let's talk Oprah...

So NBC News jizzed their pants talking about it, and all I'm seeing from lefties is Oprah 2020.

Considering she's a black woman and Trump is our current president is there any way she loses?

She immediately wins the female vote, and that's half the country. She'd get 100% of the black vote. She'd get all the left leaning votes, which to be fair covers the previous two categories.

I have to assume she'd get a large number of anti-Trump votes as well.

What could derail her?

Two possibilities: Biden and The Rock.

Let's take The Rock out first. He has said, recently, he's very serious about considering a run. However, he's in his prime and making movies non-stop. I think he'd be fine not wasting money, and losing even more by not being in films. I think he doesn't run, and instead backs Oprah.

Serious question: Could Schwarzenegger be a legal VP? If The Rock ran with Arnold as his running mate, that'd be something. Two hugely popular people, one leaning left, the other leaning right. One black, one white. I'd make a joke that I'm writing a comedy here, but we live in a world where this could become reality.

Back to Biden, he's the only real challenger to an Oprah presidency. The problem for Biden is he's still riding a wave of love for Obama and their alleged bromance. He would steal "real" voters from Oprah who want an actual politician, but I doubt he'd be able to steal women and black people.

Would he be willing to accept Oprah/Biden?

What if Oprah grabbed Schwarzenegger as a running mate?

Should the Republicans run an Eastwood/Jolie ticket against them?

I have no idea what Oprah stands for. As such, I'll just assume she believes everything I do and should be president.

I just can't wait to see what she's hidden under my chair.

Schwarzenegger could not be a legal VP. Other than providing a tie breaking vote for the Senate and going to the funerals of foreign dignitaries, the job of the President is to take office if something were to happen to the President. He can't fulfill that Constitutional obligation because he doesn't qualify for the Presidency.

Correct, however this professor of Constitutional law believes there's a loophole.

Interesting thought exercise, but good luck with that argument before SCOTUS.

Exactly. It's like we're supposed to take SCOTUS seriously. Did you miss the Obamacare "this is or isn't a tax" ruling that was black and white to everyone in the country, yet they somehow fucked it up?

NRA says Dems are pushing a Socialist agenda and left leaning MSM outlets are upset.

Redistribution of wealth, a powerful and large government, citizens with limited freedoms, etc.

Where is his statement wrong?

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago and a racist today.

The Dems refuse to accept why they lost in 2016 and are doubling down on Americans voters being idiots who were influenced by Russian bought FB ads. They released some examples today.

So far, their strategy isn't working. Their loyalists are preaching their word, but everyone else is saying "I didn't vote based on a FB ad" and "Your candidate, literally, insulted us and called us names during the campaign", among other things.

They are so ridiculously out of touch that they are losing their advantage of voter discontent with Trump. CNN is even running opinion pieces saying the "blue wave" is gone.

Watching the Dems and Repubs is like watching two clowns trying to one up each other in an incompetence contest.

I heard on a podcast in relation to the 2018 elections (paraphrasing) whoever is dumbest last loses.

And don't forget that Nancy Pelosi said if they win they'll want to look at reversing the tax cut.

Tuesday's primaries show that the Democratic Party has major issues.

Not only did Trump backed candidates win elections, but a fucking socialist beat an incumbent Senator.

How, in 2018, can someone run as a socialist and win? Not only that, but how can a socialist be called a progressive?
