The 2020 Dream Ticket of Oprah Winfrey and Lin-Manuel Miranda? Fuggedaboutit.
As The Daily Beast recounted: “During a discussion about the ‘moral clarity’ he felt after Donald Trump’s election, Miranda said that he’s aware of the social platform his fame and the success of ‘Hamilton’ has given him.”
“But that’s it,” he said Wednesday. “I’m not running for public office.”
Oprah immediately added: “I’m not either!”
No, Oprah! Do not throw away your shot!https://t.co/MQe8LeZmAj

TMZ, which posted video of the chat, said: “The audience erupted in laughter/shock — some people sounded downright upset O finally batted down the rumor … which had been swirling since her incredible Golden Globes speech.”
On Twitter, “The Late Show” hosted said: “No, Oprah! Do not throw away your shot!”
But some were relieved the tease was over.

To win in 2020 we need a candidate who is filled with policy substance, someone who is consistent on the issues, and is someone who is dedicated to the cause of Progressivism.
No Oprah or The Rock 2020. No celebrities. No Mark Zuckerberg.
Dems shouldnt run a celebrity.
