No, no, no. The point isn't Oprah's "appeal" or her "charisma." She's got tons of both and that would make her a formidable candidate. But America needs someone who would be a good president. Who knows how to govern. Getting elected is much less important than running the countryhttps://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/950550182965534721 …

Trump says "I can fix it." How? Doesn't say. But you don't have evidence he can't. Hillary was involved in government for years. If she could fix it, wouldn't she have done so already? No, those don't actually make sense. But they resonate electorally if you don't think too hard.

Meanwhile, the media focuses on horse races, and pushes a politics-as-sports narrative rather than treating governing as difficult and important. And they go gaga over celebrities who may (or may not) run. I'll admit I don't know how to fix this. But it's a big problem. (END)

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The skills required to attain success in the business/entertainment world are not necessarily equal to those required to be an effective president. Oprah may be the answer to Trump’s rabid populism, but she is not the answer for sound governance.
