Hypothetical Scenario ~ 2012 ~ Oprah or The Donald

If these two ran for 2012 Presidential Candidate, who would you vote for?




There's a Poll, gimme a minute to get that going.

[AtLast]

Trump almost makes Palin look intelligent! Such a media whore...

[The_Lady_Snow]

Donald Trump is a sexist, racist, & homophobic ass hat!

I say Oprah!!!

[Daywalker]

Let's not forget his awesome money management skillz.



Hiring a whole team of people to find out if Obama was born a US Citizen.



There's a fine waste of funding if I ever seen one.

Why aren't there any Canadian options in the poll?

Y'all just don't like us. Do you?

Why Marijuana don't grow in Canada like it does California = Paranoia Factor.

LOL...

Let's see, he has filed bankruptcy 3 times, I think.... But, for someone with his money and tax breaks, bankruptcy is simply re-organization to cut taxes!!

He is taking the birther bull to another dimension, too. Soon, he will have the GOP/Tea Party believing there was a mistake when Hawaii was admitted to the Union and it isn't really a state!!!

You know, if it were not for the fact that millions of people in the US are in a lot of trouble and out of work (losing everything), this would be quite comimcal.

Yes, Oprah!!!

[Toughy]

neither one of them would get my vote..........neither of them no shit about how government works.........I wonder if either of them knows how a bill becomes law........

I lost all respect for Trump when he joined the birther bullshit........

[princessbelle]

Agrees with Diva ...maybe we would get "my favorite things" in the mail. That's better than hearing "your fired".

And besides....ever noticed that beautiful red/pink shiny lipstick oprah wears? It's to die for and i can't find it anywhere...maybe she would include that in her "my fav things". It would certainly be worth my vote.

Oh yes and her stand on women's rights and going to the saturn and afghanistan......(saying that so i don't seem too shallow)

[NJFemmie]

I vote for the nuns going after Goldman Sachs.

Never mess with a pissed off nun.

[Kobi]

I thought this was a cute hypothetical thing. And then I saw The Donald
giving interviews on running for office.

A duck might be an interesting contrast to the current crop of Washingtonian jackasses.
But seriously, when did we become a people with a barnyard government?

[Medusa]

Barring lack of political experience on both of their parts, Oprah would get my vote hands down.

She is compassionate, a smart as hell business woman, Pro-LGBT rights, and obviously knows how to handle her finances to the point that she is one of the world's richest women.

I wouldn't vote for Donald Trump to be a fucking JANITOR in the white house. (and this is certainly no swipe on people who clean for a living, just illustrating someone who is still in the actual white house but who is far removed from the politics there)

[Soft*Silver]

Is Oprah really going to run for president? Did she quit her show so she could seriously make a run for it, if not this term, then next? Did she get a flavor for it by helping get Obama elected? I had been thinking this to myself over the past year and then this thread crops up. hmmmmm. I dont get the newspaper and I dont watch the news. Was there something said that made this a current topic?

[Toughy]

softness: in answer to your question....no not that I know of.

Being the President is not the same as being a CEO of a for profit company or any kind of business person. It's a whole different set of skills and knowledge base.

I'm just wondering when the 3-ring circus is going to stop and the GOP has some competent candidates. With the economy so fragile, gas prices rising, and the need for a sane overhaul of the tax code, I want Obama to be able to build a winning strategy. I honestly believe his re-election is tied to the economy and job creation. The gas price situation is something that hits hard on people- an everyday slap in the face that is a game changer with personal budgeting.

Neither Trump or Oprah have the skills to be president. But, Oprah is someone I respect deeply and feel she is very smart. Trump just loves to see Trump on the tube.

I think the GOP is worried about putting forth a candidate against Obama. Even Carl Rove has been saying "get serious" and leave the Tea Party zealots behind. I don't like Rove, but he is a savvy political strategist. Even Bachman is backing away from the birther garbage.

I really wish the serious issues would be discussed and ideas formulated that get things like the construction and housing industries back on their feet and jobs are created. We also can bring some of manufacturing back (some is lost forever).

Its fun to play with the craziness of some of these "candidates," but this is such a serious time for our economy and middle and working class people.

Kind of interesting to look at the occupations of folks before they became President. 26 of the 44 were lawyers. Some were businessmen - Harding was a respected newspaper publisher, Washington was a farmer/plantation owner, Truman was a farmer/retailer, Hoover was a mining engineer/businessman, the elder Bush was in oil, GW actually has an MBA and had run many companies into the ground before turning his talent on the country, a few including LBJ were schoolteachers.

I dont care who runs for president. I think Maury needs to be in there somewhere just in case we have another scandal in the white house. He can do the DNA testing.

But if we had Springer as President, at least we would get some Springer beads handed out along the way!

Each and every one of those Presidents was a politician who had held an elective office(s) before they were President. Every politician comes from some other background and they developed the skill sets and knowledge needed to run a government BEFORE they ever became President.
