The others sit in silence and also shake their heads. With President Trump in office for the next few years, all those who oppose \u2018He who shall not be named again in this article,\u2019 can do is sit and hope.<\/p>\n<p>That new form of hope comes in the wake of Oprah after her speech from this year\u2019s Golden Globes. During the times that the men in Hollywood are failing or meeting our expectations of harassment and sexual advances, Oprah has boomed onto the scene as a candidate that the current president says, would be a \u2018lot of fun\u2019 to run against.<\/p>\n<p>Who would be the one-name-hit-wonder, Oprah\u2019s running mate in 2020? Michelle Obama would have enough pull to sway those that say Oprah doesn\u2019t have enough political experience in the next presidential election.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53461\" src=\"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2102130452_c8cc73af3f_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"617\" height=\"411\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I asked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/greghoward88\">Greg Howard<\/a>, my favorite writer at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/by\/greg-howard\">New York Times<\/a>, his thoughts on a Michelle\/Oprah 2020 campaign. While he didn\u2019t have anything specific to say about Michelle, he did share this sentiment, \u201cMy friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/ashleyfeinberg\">Ashley Feinberg<\/a> said it best on HuffPost when she called talk of an Oprah presidency a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/author\/ashley-feinberg\">liberal revenge fantasy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continues, \u201cI don\u2019t think the answer to Trump\u2019s destructive presidency is a more humane celebrity in office. I think it\u2019s more experienced governance. There are plenty of people, including women and men of color, who are more experienced (and whose politics are more in line with what I consider best for the country). That said, Trump\u2019s victory illustrated the value Americans place on celebrity and on wealth. Oprah would probably win in a landslide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oprah\u2019s biggest Cons are her Pros in a 2020 campaign with Michelle Obama. She exudes privilege, she is a celebrity, and that she is a black woman, the most resilient and hard-fighting people on this planet.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53455 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/wellvyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Oprah-Post-1-598x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/MyNameisJESSAMYN\">Jessamyn Stanley<\/a>, a Yoga instructor from North Carolina, posted an Instagram caption earlier today that said, \u201cSo y\u2019all are really up in arms about this whole @oprah for president thing. Damn. Can you imagine if the same energy fueling the Oprah 2020 debate were being used in service of the infinite worthwhile ecological\/economic\/civil rights causes in this world?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The caption goes on to emphasize Feinberg and Howard\u2019s feelings about the candidacy, \u201cLegit, we\u2019re on the brink of nuclear and\/or ecological catastrophe and yet my social media timelines are a think piece soup of nonsense that no one will remember next week.<\/p>\n<p>While we currently have a prior celebrity in office as our president, it is really hard to think about another celeb in office, whether she looks like my mom or not. In the past words of Oprah to those hoping for an Oprah 2020, \u201cYou can have it all. You just can\u2019t have it all at once.\u201d Let\u2019s remember to be better and live better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever the president tweets, signs a bill, is interviewed, or opens his mouth, a lot of people shake their heads.
