Back in 2018, Oprah Winfrey pooh-poohed speculation that she might make a run for the White House, saying a presidential campaign “would kill me.” A new biography about Sen. Mitt Romney due out Tuesday, however, adds some interesting context to that, with a somewhat surprising nugget about Winfrey and the Utah Republican. A source tells Axios’ Mike Allen that in McKay Coppins’ Romney: A Reckoning, Romney tells Coppins that the Democratic talk show host approached him to run on a 2020 ticket with her to “save the country” from the possible reelection of former President Trump.
Romney is said to have told Coppins that he blew off the proposal, as he felt such a run would only help Trump in the long run. Meanwhile, a source said to be “familiar with Winfrey’s thinking” says that Oprah—who interviewed Romney and his wife in 2012, when he was running for president against then-President Obama—wasn’t actually serious about a run, even though some in her circle thought she really would go for it.
Yeah that’s a ticket I would have forgotten my Trump support for (NOT).
What! We would give every voter a puppy and a car with a roof rack?
HarpoDelecto…Barky must have been facepalming. Now I see why they went with Biden.
She would’ve had a better chance of getting down to 120 pounds.
There she blows.
^^^
Isn’t 120 pounds about what Steadman weighs?
Or does he just look it by comparison?
“YOU GET A NEOCON, YOU GET A NEOCON, AND YOU GET A NEOCON!”
Well people elected obama so oprah would’ve been a shoe-in and you know it. Women voters.
Hollywood delusion.
Instead she was informed that the fix was in, and the dems made sure that Trump wasn’t going to be elected, so she didn’t have to bother.
ROFLOL!
Yeah…….no!
Mittens, Utah Republican = Utah RINO
Sure. Because a former talk show host who started out featuring human oddities and oddly formed relationships is the ideal candidate for the country’s economic security and world affairs.
What am I saying? Barry Sotero never even had a job!
a ghettopotamus & a rino d-sucker, what could go wrong?
Orca was a Huge factor in getting Barry elected.
Change my mind…
Good luck with the 2020 election. Proofread much?
Oops. My bad. Never mind
Yikes. My bad. TV
The only “Bush Republican” I remember ever admitting they were all the time democrats were: SNARLIN Arlen, and Charley Christ. There are/were likely other “Bush Republicans’ that “came out” these 2 PO’D ME. SNARLIN’s BORKING of Bork still makes me mad – almost 36 years later. Mitt would have been admitting he always had been aush Republican”/Democrat had he even admitted talks to her!
Therefore I think he did “Blow her”.
Wow, what a missed opportunity for the food service industry. Imagine trying to feed her on the campaign trail?
Then again, why not. She’s an unmarried woman giving marital advise, a woman with no children giving parental advise and an overweight hog-a-saurus giving dietary advise so why wouldn’t she be good at running the…..oh, never mind.
That would blow a few seismographs.
