    This is the fundamental question: Will Trumpian backlash produce an “opposite” like Oprah—or is the “anti-Trump” really a technocrat/pol...?https://twitter.com/mmurraypolitics/status/950363555580317696 …

    Count me among those who believe the Dem alternative to Trump won't be a liberal celebrity -- but rather a relatively boring pol with lots of gvt experience who isn't a Clinton

        If past is prologue (and it often is not), look to 1988 when the Democrats decided to nominate a technocrat to be the anti-Reagan: Michael Dukakis. The Reagan "opposite" -- golden-tongued Mario Cuomo -- opted out.

        I once argued that a backlash to Obama's incompetence will help an experienced Republican lead the field in 2016.

        I'm opening my mind. Intellect - especially a demonstrated passion for learning - is good enough for me. That quality will show through in policy understanding during campaign. I like @ChrisVanHollen. Also, #ImWithOprah .

        I wouldn't hire a celebrity to do surgery on me, prepare a legal document, or perform any other task that requires specialized knowledge and/or experience. So why would I want to hire one to be my president? Spoiler alert: next hit reality show is going to be "Celebrity Surgeon."

        I think the time is ripe for a vigorous defense of boring, out-of-touch politicians.

        Good God. Give us a technocrat! A good old-fashioned "career politician." The country says "NO-Prah."

        Oh you guys! Looking for a non establishment, non DC, charismatic candidate to appeal to middle America, and yet you’ve got your boxers in a snit over Oprah? She’ll never run, but it’s fun to play “what if.”

        It would be someone who can be steady, strong, unflappabile and who isn’t holding their nose up at half the country (People can tell!) and also not anti-business or unwilling to discuss immigration reform and control.

        Hard to imagine DNC running others against her due to her widespread popularity. Would hate to be the one challenging her in a campaign. If she runs, she’ll likely be the next POTUS.

        My dream, as a Nixon/Reagan R, is that Dems nominate Oprah or someone like her only to see Trump get beaten in primary ending up with a total mismatch.
