I get the sentiment behind Oprah 2020, but normalizing celebrity/mogul presidents is a dangerous road to go down.

Because POTUS candidates have usually been people with median average income in last 200+ years?

It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with experience governing.

So you prefer career politicians?

-
Yes. Politics is the only time people want an outsider, apply that thinking to anything else and it sounds absurd. Why go to a mechanic, why not see if a chef has some fresh ideas about replacing brake pads?

Methinks you've stumbled upon a fallacy.
-
No I haven't. People value experience in every other profession but that somehow goes out the window when it comes to the president? Even someone like Barack Obama that didn't have a long political career had a strong background of legal knowledge.

So you'd prefer two men in their 70s instead? Seriously, you have no idea.

The point is, we've constantly berated Trump for being a non-politician and having no governmental experience. If Oprah ran, we'd just hear nothing but ads of our own words used against us, and rightfully so.
-
How would she be any worse or more corrupt than Trump? Trump changed the orthodoxy on who can run and become president. Find a "career politician" to run against Trump and they'll be chewed up, spat out like all the others.
-
Didn't say a "career politician." But experience in government should be on the list of must-haves for the next president.
-
Will still produce same result against Trump. Last election showed people don’t want cookie cutter politicians.
