@@raydavison4288 First of all, we have to realize that Biden did not really "win" the election. In truth, Trump lost the election because the election was really a referendum on how he dealt with COVID-19. Biden literally spent the entire campaign season avoiding interviews, avoiding explaining his plans, etc. So, literally, Oprah, by having more of a presence (and a generally positive one) than Biden would naturally bring out more people to vote for her. Almost everyone I know couldn't think of a good reason to vote for Biden, but almost everyone I know certainly did vote and chose Biden on the ballot because he was not Trump.
my roomie did the same lol. sadly tho O would be dragged thru the racist mud forever, at least obama had polititical experience & even all his work got trashed by This orange POS! please god i beg of all you to vote for whatever DEM gets nominated, this country CANT take another 4 years... NO JOKE! see you ALL at the poles, NO excuses!
Even someone as criminally stupid as Trump but with the willingness to learn would be a much better candidate than Trump. Does it mean we should elect sy like that? Of course not! Oprah is much more fit to be President than Trump - the fact that she is wise enough to have declined to run proves that much - but it doesn't mean we should elect her. Also Bill is so fucking condescending implying women vote for women because they're women. They don't. Bernie is a better choice than any other candidate regardless of sex.
Bill is the one of the most edgy and provocative intellectual comedians happening right now. He instructs and educates through comedy, like his esteemed predecessor, George Carlin. And his 500th show- congrats Bill!
Would have loved to hear what Carlin had to say about the woke crowd. But a lot of what he said before all of this came to pass, eventually did come to pass(and is still here)
Came by this old new rules and good god did this not age well. But somehow I just can't imagine someone like Carlin suggesting we make Oprah the president and GENUINELY try to sell it like a 'good idea'. Carlin would do it for the lolz because he didn't even bother to vote anyway. But seriously, the best the democrats could imagine doing 3 years ago was "let's pick our own unqualified celebrity and stoop to their level"? And they wonder why they lost to Trump in the first place? They couldn't bring themselves to vote for Bernie and so they end up wondering if they should elect Oprah to beat Trump? Pathetic.
OK, so look for someone like Oprah who does have the qualifications - how about Kamala Harris? She checks off all the boxes. She doesn't scare white men. I'm a white man and I'm not scared of her. And ANYONE who becomes a major candidate for President automatically becomes a celebrity.
@@alnitaka Name recognition is key to why Maher joked about Oprah being the one. Few people know about Kamala Harris, and she's not a the self-made billionaire that Oprah is -- which Americans admire.
Trump didn't have any qualifications. He ia white supremurist. The worst son of a bitch who ever was put into office. He was beat by three million votes by Hillary. That no good electoral college voted him in. Please get rid of the electoral college. No more electoral college.
We don't have a choice man, we're beyond the point of no return. Democrats have been playing with one hand tied behind their back since Reagan. Either you're a celebrity candidate or you're a nobody.
@monokhem What did Obama do that benefited working Americans? He may have been obstructed by Repubs, but what did he even push for that would've helped the non %1?
Why Yang you ask(I know you never asked shhh)? Women: The freedom dividend empowers women by giving them a way to escape from abusive relationships. African-Americans: The freedom dividend provides a floor that people can't get under-it levels the playing field a lot, therefore helping many African-Americans. White men: All those white men who didn't go to college and are losing their jobs to automation? Hell yeah, they'll want that $1K a month. Celebrity: He has super low name recognition but he still polls pretty well. He is THE unifying candidate: He pulls support from all across the political spectrum. There are Trump voters re-registering as Democrats just to vote for Yang. He has also gotten a couple awards from Obama. Andrew Yang for President 2020! #yanggang #humanityfirst #MATH
I like Yang. The best we can hope for is that Biden gets elected & fills his administration & governmental agencies w/ people who inspired voters during the primaries, giving them further experience & name recognition for running for office in the future. He should NOT, however, take any Democrats out of the House or Senate! We need them to keep their seats! Same with governors & state-level elected officials. IDK where I'd put everyone, but I think he should use people like Yang, Marianne Williamson, MAYBE Mayor Pete (as long as his seat as mayor remains occupied by a Dem., and other people outside those currently in office. It's important to get new ideas, new insights, new perspectives, and people who can communicate a vision of possibilities in positions where they can have influence & where more Americans can get to know them!
Which will all go into your landlord's pocket. Andrew yang platform is so dense and stupid. Fuck ubi and let's have communism. What's the point of keeping capitalism if everybody but one are all making the same?
We NEEDED Obama to put a nice face to the bailout of bankers. Nowadays, the balance sheets of TBTF banks have been flooded with reserves, thanks to 3 rounds of Quantitative Easing (aka the PROACTIVE AND PRE-EMPTIVE BAILOUT), beautifully done by our beloved Federal Reserve. There is no need for Oprah.
@CD Smith Oprah is Black, Hispanic, Jewish, WASP, and Native American Choctaw. That's all We Need. Multi-Racial Representation in One Person. And she is better than Republicans' trickle down economics… she gives away CARS !!!

Not only that she know how to LISTEN which Trump doesn't do. Trump thinks he knows everything about everything and then on top of that he hired a bunch of unqualified people to fill all the top positions in government. You'd have to be naive or a republican to believe Oprah would do exactly the same as Trump
I've never heard an american citizen speak knowledgeably about those things either if they weren't a school teacher, but we still let all those idiots kinda-decide. So what's your actual point? Politics is a popularity contest after all.....
Yes, Oprah, because of her policies: "YOU GET A CAR, YOU GET A CAR, YOU GET A CAR!!!!!" Beats Bernie, he just wants Healthcare and les war.. Oprah stick to what you are: entertainment.
I live in Chicago. Some of my friends moved some stuff for her They thought she was a little to demanding. When they left she didnt give them a tip. As they where pulling off she came out and said sorry I almost forgot. She has them a thick envelope. They open it. There's a stack of hundreds in a roll. Anybody know off hand how much comes in a bank roll of hundreds? 10k. My friend started to cry cause he had a baby on the way. Between rent and shit insurance he had not been able to save for a car. That's what I call a God send.
fantastic. Capitalism at its finest. She made it rain. Funny how a lot of these lib policies deny people the opportunity to develop their own fortune, while propping people up who can do for themselves. Just think, in a high tax socialistic program,not that many people can BE the rainmakers. Many would always have their hands out hoping to get a few drops. Lots of celebrities - outwardly support socialist policies, even choking down the heavy taxation. But ultimately. it's against the laws of finance and success..

This is huge miss for Bill Maher as Oprah would be no improvement what-so-ever. Trump's inexperience and incompetence is a reason why he shouldn't be the most powerful individual in the world. The position of POTUS should go to people who are both experienced and qualified, unqualified celebrities shouldn't be trusted with such a position.
I agree with the "As Seen on TV society" statement. A lot of the newcomers running for president lack the prior visibility in order to face off with Trump and have a fighting chance
Bill's been saying no more candidates this whole time now he wants another come on. This is so random. Plenty of good candidates already I'm sticking with Bernie.
It's ashame Bill has turned into an ageist. Bernie has got twice the vitality as most of his oppononents and can go toe to toe with Trump! He doesn't back down or waiver on any of his policies or what he believes in. And he's truly for the American people! *BERNIE 2020!!*
I think the Oprah bit is more of a device to talk about how poor the campaigning skills and candidates are, even the good candidates haven't been that strong. Dems need to cut down the number of unelectables running like Hickenlooper or Buttigieg and build a primary race where the candidates don't weaken each other, we should have something like Sanders, Biden, Warren, Harris, Booker and maybe Yang (I'm adding Yang not because I think he is electable but because he is putting some topics on the table that both parties are liking, for example I'm surprised about how many republicans are liking UBI). Bear in mind that the US is not a direct democracy.
@@eleSDSU I agree with your comments except for Oprah. I believe Bill Maher said her name because she's a likable person/celebrity.

Please, no. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Two rich celebrities don’t make a president.
spb 78 she’s WAY more than a “rich celebrity”.
@@robyndonaldson1307 in what way is she at all more than a rich celebrity. That's literally all she is.
PLEASE I like Oprah but I don't want her to run for president. _Please gawd NO!_
Even someone as criminally stupid as Trump but with the willingness to learn would be a much better candidate than Trump. Does it mean we should elect sy like that? Of course not!
Oprah is much more fit to be President than Trump - the fact that she is wise enough to have declined to run proves that much - but it doesn't mean we should elect her.
Also Bill is so fucking condescending implying women vote for women because they're women. They don't. Bernie is a better choice than any other candidate regardless of sex.
In this retard nation it does.
"I never heard of him and he's been on this show twice" That might be the most savage thing Bill Maher has ever said and that's saying a LOT!
Bill is the one of the most edgy and provocative intellectual comedians happening right now. He instructs and educates through comedy, like his esteemed predecessor, George Carlin. And his 500th show- congrats Bill!
He had me until he said Oprah. God help us.
Would have loved to hear what Carlin had to say about the woke crowd. But a lot of what he said before all of this came to pass, eventually did come to pass(and is still here)
Came by this old new rules and good god did this not age well. But somehow I just can't imagine someone like Carlin suggesting we make Oprah the president and GENUINELY try to sell it like a 'good idea'. Carlin would do it for the lolz because he didn't even bother to vote anyway. But seriously, the best the democrats could imagine doing 3 years ago was "let's pick our own unqualified celebrity and stoop to their level"? And they wonder why they lost to Trump in the first place? They couldn't bring themselves to vote for Bernie and so they end up wondering if they should elect Oprah to beat Trump? Pathetic.
Yeah, Oprah seems to have it all ... except qualifications, of course, but that's supremely irrelevant in US politics.
OK, so look for someone like Oprah who does have the qualifications - how about Kamala Harris? She checks off all the boxes. She doesn't scare white men. I'm a white man and I'm not scared of her. And ANYONE who becomes a major candidate for President automatically becomes a celebrity.
@@alnitaka Name recognition is key to why Maher joked about Oprah being the one. Few people know about Kamala Harris, and she's not a the self-made billionaire that Oprah is -- which Americans admire.
Trump didn't have any qualifications. He ia white supremurist. The worst son of a bitch who ever was put into office. He was beat by three million votes by Hillary. That no good electoral college voted him in. Please get rid of the electoral college. No more electoral college.
God bill I like you but we can’t take any more celebrity presidents
We don't have a choice man, we're beyond the point of no return. Democrats have been playing with one hand tied behind their back since Reagan. Either you're a celebrity candidate or you're a nobody.

Why Yang you ask(I know you never asked shhh)?
Women: The freedom dividend empowers women by giving them a way to escape from abusive relationships.
African-Americans: The freedom dividend provides a floor that people can't get under-it levels the playing field a lot, therefore helping many African-Americans.
White men: All those white men who didn't go to college and are losing their jobs to automation? Hell yeah, they'll want that $1K a month.
Celebrity: He has super low name recognition but he still polls pretty well. He is THE unifying candidate: He pulls support from all across the political spectrum. There are Trump voters re-registering as Democrats just to vote for Yang. He has also gotten a couple awards from Obama.
Andrew Yang for President 2020! #yanggang #humanityfirst #MATH
I like Yang. The best we can hope for is that Biden gets elected & fills his administration & governmental agencies w/ people who inspired voters during the primaries, giving them further experience & name recognition for running for office in the future. He should NOT, however, take any Democrats out of the House or Senate! We need them to keep their seats! Same with governors & state-level elected officials. IDK where I'd put everyone, but I think he should use people like Yang, Marianne Williamson, MAYBE Mayor Pete (as long as his seat as mayor remains occupied by a Dem., and other people outside those currently in office. It's important to get new ideas, new insights, new perspectives, and people who can communicate a vision of possibilities in positions where they can have influence & where more Americans can get to know them!
Yeah, no more TV stars running for President until 2024. Please and thank you.

That's right- legally he couldn't charge tRump, because he was supposed to just pass his materials and recommendations to Congress, neither was the AG suppose to charge or clear tRump either !
Maher should have Matt Taibbi on his show to point out what a total media bubble that Maher lives in.
That would be a Zen moment.
He has been on the show and it wasn't very enlightening.
It's hard to believe now but, Richard Wolff was a guest on this show. Bill used to be so good.
@@eleSDSU When? I don't recall ever seeing him?
@monokhem Get real. Maher has become a sycophant to the mainstream media point of view. He is part of the establishment now.
I really hope this is a joke...
Why was Tulsi Gabbard, who clearly won the first debate, completely ignored afterwards? Is she too smart?
She stepped down from her DNC position in 2016 so she could endorse Bernie. She sealed her 2020 hopes away 3 years ago
"Warren is a three syllable woman in a one syllable country."
That best describes A.) this country and B.) why Trump will probably win anyway.
Jon would never accept to deal with military lobbies...he's too compassionate....he won't handle the depth of cyniscism needed to do politics...he can't...
@Rex2212
Trump is a fake human being.
@Rex2212
Spoken like a true low-education MAGAt.
@Rex2212
Your boasts and your rhetoric seem very much at odds. I would expect that such a talented and esteemed Ivy Leaguer such as yourself would offer far more in the way of solid, cohesive arguments than petulant one-offs like "Trump is god" and "eat a dick." Law school? Sure, buddy.
This is huge miss for Bill Maher as Oprah would be no improvement what-so-ever. Trump's inexperience and incompetence is a reason why he shouldn't be the most powerful individual in the world. The position of POTUS should go to people who are both experienced and qualified, unqualified celebrities shouldn't be trusted with such a position.
Its not a miss, its a joke. Bill even said couple months ago that electing Oprah would be stupid. This is just bait
She'd be an improvement! I'd be an improvement!
I think you’re right Bill! ♥️
Profoundly cynical. A rich man in a bubble trying to make sense of the world.
I agree with the "As Seen on TV society" statement. A lot of the newcomers running for president lack the prior visibility in order to face off with Trump and have a fighting chance
Yes. After all Obama was basically a celebrity before he was president.
That's actually a very great point.
Hey, voters, look. Shiny object!
Well said! your a boss!
Sounds like we're cats. Next, they'll chase us around with a laser... lol
“I’ve never heard of him & he’s been on this show twice.” Funny Bill!🤣🌹🙌🏽🎈
Bill, this has to be one of your worst jokes.
Bill's been saying no more candidates this whole time now he wants another come on. This is so random. Plenty of good candidates already I'm sticking with Bernie.
gamemaster gary Better yet he said no Oprah a few months ago.
It's ashame Bill has turned into an ageist. Bernie has got twice the vitality as most of his oppononents and can go toe to toe with Trump! He doesn't back down or waiver on any of his policies or what he believes in. And he's truly for the American people! *BERNIE 2020!!*
I agree...and it's ironic that Bill acts like he's an 80-year-old whenever he says anything about Millennials.
Billl Maher you are well groomed well read super sharp and deliciously funny, you make my day!
Hard pass on president Oprah, even though it's hard not to concede your points in her favor.
Black people won't for that bitch! White people like her, NOT us.
Bill Maher, I respectfully disagree with you about Oprah Winfrey. No more celebrities, I don't care who they are.
I think the Oprah bit is more of a device to talk about how poor the campaigning skills and candidates are, even the good candidates haven't been that strong. Dems need to cut down the number of unelectables running like Hickenlooper or Buttigieg and build a primary race where the candidates don't weaken each other, we should have something like Sanders, Biden, Warren, Harris, Booker and maybe Yang (I'm adding Yang not because I think he is electable but because he is putting some topics on the table that both parties are liking, for example I'm surprised about how many republicans are liking UBI). Bear in mind that the US is not a direct democracy.
@@eleSDSU I agree with your comments except for Oprah. I believe Bill Maher said her name because she's a likable person/celebrity. The Democrats need a qualified nominee who has governmental experience, that way, we will not get someone like Trump. OMG, I inadvertently misspoke, nobody in America is like the POTUS, Lol.
This obviously is a JOKE and a smart one at that!!

I thought Dems would learn from the consequences of not covering Bernie in 2016

Did you realise you caps lock key is stuck on? In comment sections like these, it means you’re yelling & it makes you appear to have a few screws loose. And that’s before we even read what you have to say. After I read a bit of your ranting rhetoric, I’m positive the lights are on but nobodies home!
