Hillary and Oprah... Could I vote that ticket?

Journal by fustakrakich

Yeap... From a practical standpoint, why not? Can't do any harm. Just keep Bill busy out in the rose garden or something.

There should be no doubt that would clinch the race

The key is Oprah. She's no dummy. Putting her out there as VP will repair almost 30 years of damage. Queen Bee diplomat with a great deal on scud missiles (still gotta pay tribute). America will be loved again. She is the chosen one.

I'm not really joking, eh? You people want a solution, this is it. Show me anything better. I dare ya!

Edit:

Lots of no votes against her here, and not a single solitary valid point. Oprah Derangement Syndrome is worse than that other one. Why do people cling so hard to broken bullshit? Are they that comfortable with it?

    Yes, BUT.

    A confidence game. You said it yourself.

    Without confidence, the whole thing falls apart.

    The Democrats didn't come out of that unscathed. We got Nixon.

    Nixon was the last generations Trump, along with his {evil|good} twin Carter.

    He didn't go to Yale or Harvard. Had a degree from *rolls eyes* Duke.

    He often appeared to have something akin to aspergers, spitting out truths that no one in D.C. would be caught dead spitting. He had two terms though, and by conventional metrics he was successful. Then the Watergate incident brought him down quite swiftly. Most of America only became aware there was an issue when he announced his resignation.

    He was not, contrary to popular belief, impeached. He saw that it was likely he would be, and he addressed the nation, taking over every TV channel and most radio simultaneously for a few minutes to explain what was happening, and then he resigned.

    He knew it was a con game. He was conserving confidence.

    Today? Most of them believe the con.

    "There is nothing more dangerous to a con man than to believe his own con." That is a classic bit of wisdom in regards to your normal garden variety con man.

    But if it is a national con man, an important politician? It is not just dangerous to him alone.
