She has zero interest in the gig and, other than being first lady, has absolutely zero qualifications... but then... neither did Trump.

Whatever happened to the "Draft Oprah" movement?

[-] massacre@lemmy.world 76 points 2 years ago

Fuck Oprah. She's an out of touch Billionaire who's commitment to junk science set Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil loose on the world and gave Jenny McArthy a platform for her anti-vax autism bullshit. She's absolutely not who we want running for president.

She’s far more qualified than Trump but according to her husband’s book she didn’t even want to be First Lady. And as much as I don’t hold what I view as Barry’s presidential shortcomings against her, we have had far too many political family dynasty’s in this country. Let’s not have another

family dynasties* in this country

has absolutely zero qualifications

This is completely false.

[-] Delusional@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah she is definitely way more qualified than trump is. He's not qualified to do shit except cause problems for anyone for personal profit. I wouldn't trust him with any fucking job let alone being president.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

For President? What elected office has she held? Oh, right, none.

Eisenhower would like a word. As would Hoover, Grant and the orange man.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Eisenhower had a decorated military history, excellent for commander in chief. As did Grant.

Hoover and Orange man? Well, you saw how THEY turned out.

[-] enbyecho@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Eisenhower had a decorated military history, excellent for commander in chief. As did Grant.

That wasn't the question.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You know she's a lawyer right? That's already more credentials than Regan and Bush (being Governor of Texas doesn't count)

[-] TenderfootGungi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

While I do not believe she ahoukd run, unlike Trump, she is qualified. She has degrees from Princeton and Harvard and is an attorney. And more importantly, she is wicked smart.
