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?

    "I get that the organizers have been told by the marketeers that they should push buttons that college students are said to be sensitive to, but I felt getting exhorted to "make Bernie the first Jewish president" and any kind of play on identity politics to be offensive to my beliefs against racism, sexism and divisiveness."

    The same here. I'll confess the idea of a Jew finally making President has a certain appeal. But no one should vote for him *because he's Jewish* ffs, this is America, we don't care about your background we care about your program.

    "For me, it's Bernie, or Trump if Bernie gives up."

    What's wrong with Gabbard?

    I'll have to be convinced about Gabbard. I don't know much about her, and it's still a long time away.

      Hard to imagine a more hostile interviewer. She handles it with grace and style. And keeps trying to take it back to her message.

      It's the best message out there by far.
