      Isn’t Oprah’s prepatory experience actually superior to Trump’s? She was rags to riches—a self-made woman.https://twitter.com/davidlimbaugh/status/950444775127306242 …

      Matt Lewis added,

      David Limbaugh @DavidLimbaugh
      I reject that Trump supporters have forfeited their right to cite others’ lack of preparatory experience for presidential office. Apart from the debate over Trump’s preparedness, all extra-political experience is not fungible — Oprah’s (lack of) relevant experience is fair game.

      Replying to @mattklewis

      I grant you that it’s open for debate. But my point is not whether she is or isn’t, but that we don’t have to regard all extra-political backgrounds of equal preparatory value, nor do we have forfeit the issue for because of Trump. Each case is different IMHO.

      Fair point. If we are truly in a “post-politician” era, we will have to use criteria other than voting records, etc., to evaluate candidates.

          You guys, Obama - not Trump - started the celebrity as president concept. He was in the Senate for like 5 min and ran on "Hope and Change" aka cool guy, rock star etc.

          True, but also, as a Constitutional law professor, he knew something of the functioning of government. I think the real test of Oprah is how seriously she takes the job and preps for it. I bet she'd read briefing memos longer than one page.

          We’re a privileged society indeed. We are so smart that we can just insert a successful business person or entertainer directly into WH governance. Soon we’ll take a top litigator & thrust him/her strait into the surgical suite, no questions asked.

          It’s sad that the bar now seems to be: “You’re articulate. And don’t seem crazy. RUN FOR PRESIDENT” HOWEVER. I won’t allow someone who voted for Trump to tell me Oprah isn’t qualified. I don’t happen to want her to run. But if you voted Trump you lost me awhile ago.
