Trump wants Oprah on his ticket
The Hill ^ | 6/16/15 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 06/16/2015 10:51:26 PM PDT by z taxman

Newly minted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump believes he has a way to guarantee that he’ll win the White House: Oprah Winfrey on the ticket.

"I think Oprah would be great. I'd love to have Oprah," Trump told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in an excerpt from Trump's first interview after his Tuesday morning presidential announcement.

"I think we'd win easily, actually.”

Just saw a clip of The Donald on this morning’s replay of yesterday’s Britt Baier show, featuring some unknown, not-Britt-Baier moderator.

Nine billion dollars, and that’s the best Donald can do with his hair? Depressing for us middle-aged guys a bit lower on the economic scale. What horror awaits?!

You are right, of course. The problem is that the issue is so complicated, probably at least partially intentionally, that it’s really hard to discuss intelligibly.

The basic concept of Fast Track is, however, indisputable. If multiple countries are going to negotiate incredibly complex trade agreements, then you simply cannot have each country coming back with multiple amendments that must then be addressed by each of the others, who might propose amendments to the amendments and so on. Simply can’t work.

Possibly we don’t want or need agreements. Or possibly this president can’t be trusted to negotiate them. Or there are other arguments against it.

But Fast Track powers have been in effect most of the time since 1974. If we want trade agreements, they’re the only way to get them.

Well given the intelligence level of the current administration I would say Honey Boo Boo would fit perfectly: however she just isn’t old enough to be Constitutionally viable.

The Donald must live in a bubble. If he wants to lock in the African American vote, he can simply “self-identify” as black. No need to tie himself down with The Oprah.

What is wrong with America that they do not understand sarcasm.

With Trump now in the mix, turning it all into the clown show the libs said it was, all I can say is, “well played, dems... very well played.”

So what was the bargain Hillary struck with Trump to make this happen? A promise of some trade deal that will pay off for him?

Oprah would go through your supplies pretty quick. Trump is a loud mouthed fool. But he is asking decent questions. It will be nice to see the rest of the Republians answer some interesting questions.

It’s refreshing to see someone speaking their mind rather than tailored quotes that offend no one.

He doesn’t stand a chance. Especially when people cannot descern sarcasm.

Headlines have been disturbing & bizarre for months now.

But this one, I sort-of like.

We could use some comic relief around this joint.

But on second thought, and what I can't quite figure out whether should be reassuring, or else deeply troubling, is the realization there are likely many more who would vote for 'ol Ocra than would support Primetime cable T.V. Comb-over.

The hippies were right?

God has withdrawn his protection from America.


...and He is letting this fallen country mock itself.

Sit back and watch this clown candidate do his act for the MSM - it's self promotion - it's his gig. Always has been, always will be.

If you want to be in the ranks of "a sucker born every minute" - you probably liked Ross Perot too.

Ross Perot got Bill Clinton (less than 50% of the vote) elected twice (1992;1996).

Ross Perot was (is) a billionaire too.

Later in the 1990s, Perot's detractors accused him of not allowing the Reform Party to develop into a genuine national political party, but rather using it as a vehicle to promote himself. They cited as evidence the control of party offices by operatives from his presidential campaigns......

Your arguments are directly from a Fox News commentators.

This is why conservatives won’t ever nominate another President. Think for yourself.

And, if you actually read my posts, you would read how I think Trump is a dope. But he’s run more stuff than many of the existing candidates.

I enjoy how uncomfotable he makes people.

Egad! I wish I’d read this before posting a ‘consider Trump’ comment.

Simple-minded females who worship Oprah is a sign of why America may never rise from the Obamamire.

If he was joking he should have said so.
