I would vote for Oprah for president in a heartbeat! We would all get free cars!

The thought of Oprah Winfrey running for president doesn’t seem far fetched anymore, does it? People were shocked when Ronald Reagan won, even though he had successfully governed California.

Jesse Ventura (who?) won a gubernatorial race, Sony Bono and Clint Eastwood became mayors. All Franken became a Senator. Oh and a billionaire reality TV star is our current president. Clearly people are tired of blow hard politicians making promises they have no intention of ever keeping.

Depending on your political views, which have become extremely volatile on the right and left, it is a very strange time in US politics. Each party is accusing the other of crimes and treason. There are hotly contested issues and claims, investigations to the point where it has become problematic to get much accomplished by both parties.

So much so that the focus, in my opinion, has shifted to the election coming up in 2020. In the meantime, each party wants to keep the other from payoff legislation that might help our citizens. Each side has strong suspicions with supposed facts to back them up. Frankly, I’m tired of the rhetoric from both sides. I think maybe we need Dr. Phil.

I just want my new car.
