In case you missed the Golden Globes, talk from the night is whether Oprah Winfrey will run for president in 2020.
It started off with host Seth Meyers’s joke about the White House Correspondents’ Dinner when he said Donald Trump wasn’t qualified to be president.
“Some have said that night convinced him to run. So, if that’s true, I just want to say: Oprah, you will never be president! You do not have what it takes. And Hanks! Where’s Hanks? You will never be vice president. You are too mean and unrelatable. Now we just wait and see.”
Oprah, who would receive the Cecil B. DeMille award later that night, delivered a rousing speech that led many to wonder if she really is thinking about it.
"In my career, what I've always tried my best to do, whether on television or through film, is to say something about how men and women really behave. To say how we experience shame, how we love and how we rage, how we fail, how we retreat, persevere and how we overcome. I've interviewed and portrayed people who've withstood some of the ugliest things life can throw at you, but the one quality all of them seem to share is an ability to maintain hope for a brighter morning, even during our darkest nights.
"So I want all the girls watching here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say 'Me too' again," she said.
It didn’t take long for the 2020 buzz to build.
Oprah has given mixed signals in the past about whether she'd be open to a future in politics.
In June she told The Hollywood Reporter, “I will never run for public office. That’s a pretty definitive thing.”
But, she’s also toyed with the idea, tweeting out a New York Post column in September titled “Democrats’ best hope for 2020: Oprah,” thanking the author for the “VOTE of confidence!”
Then there was her March interview with Bloomberg TV’s David Rubenstein, in which she suggested she was more open to the idea of running since Trump’s election, although she never named him.
“That’s what I thought,” Winfrey said. “I thought, ‘Oh gee, I don’t have the experience, I don’t know enough.’ And now I’m thinking, ‘Oh.’”
Her best friend quickly shut down talk of her running after that interview, however.
Either way, it may not be an idea people give up on too soon. After all, even major media outlets aren't hiding their bias about it.

She built two schools in Africa, while schools in America for black kids are not teaching or graduating students. Her solution to helping blacks appears to be, like it was for Obama, helping those in other countries. If she were up to snuff, she’d have been helping poor disadvantaged black kids in Chicago and elsewhere to make something of themselves.
She IS a cult.
And they are not even good, interesting fake people like Elizabeth Taylor or Cary Grant. They are dull schlubs, many with no actual talent, like pretty much the whole cavalcade of “stars” today.
An additional, but slightly different, thread on this topic:

See my tagline.
He will Trump the race card easily. Besides, he has Diamond and Silk fighting for him.
