Poll: Do you think Oprah Winfrey would be a good US presidential candidate?

Other celebrities including Kanye West and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson have said they’re considering their candidacy.

DO YOU THINK talk show host Oprah Winfrey would make a good presidential candidate to run against Donald Trump in the next US election?

Winfrey’s best friend Gayle King, a CBS host, said Winfrey is “intrigued by the idea” of a presidential bid in 2020 – but doesn’t see it happening.

“She loves this country and would like to be of service in some way. But I don’t think she’s actively considering it at this time.”

Trump responded to the suggestion by saying “Oprah would be a lot of fun”, but added “I don’t think she’s going to run”.

So what’s your take? Do you think Oprah Winfrey would be a good presidential candidate for the 2020 US presidential election?

    @Gav Murphy: yes interesting headlines to reel you in then it’s the old hook and screw treatment, they need to rename this section properly

    @Gav Murphy: except you can read every article linked to without a subscription. Yes,so of the sites have a pop up offering a subscription, they aren’t requited to read the linked articles. Only sort of exception is The New Yorker, which limits the number of free articles, but unless you’re a frequent visitor it should be an issue, if you are a frequent visitor, maybe a subscription is justified so

    @D. Memery: the new yorker article threw me out about a third of the way through reading and I am definitely not a frequent visitor
