I think Oprah can win.

I like the idea of a power black woman president. It pushes back at the rise of white supremacist we have seen lately and says 'NOT IN USA.' She's accomplished, capable, and won't embarrass us on the world stage. I think if she puts someone like Adam Schiff as Sec of state she would be fine. We need to repair the State Dept. I'm looking for someone who can beat Bernie in a primary and Trump in the general. Oprah can beat both. IMO.

...and only the winners get to govern.

True, experience is important, and be a factor in elections. But it is often not the deciding factor.

We need people who can win, regardless of experience.

Name recognition seems to be big with the American population.

Just waiting for Trump to start his Oprah tweets.........

They go by name recognition and what they hear at the water cooler. Raygun, Shit-for-Brains and Benedict Donald have proven the point sufficiently. I'd vote for an inexperienced Dem over a moderately qualified rethug any day of the week. Twice on Sundays if I could get away with it.

she will drive Cheeto nuts. This will bring out all of his worst instincts and she doesn't have to say a word. Just keep the rumors going and he will hang himself.

She is also a powerful woman of color, but she’s also an experienced politician and is steeped in the functions of government and policy creation.

And she’s never promoted psychic surgery or the notion that vaccines cause autism. That sort of thing should matter to people.
