Kos is all abuzz with talk of Oprah’s speech and it is a good speech and you should probably watch it. But there is no way Oprah can possibly become president until after the 2018 Midterm Elections. I’m sorry but it’s true. I’ve consulted all the best the calendars (nobody knew calendars could be this complicated) and it seems 2018 does indeed happen before 2020. You can check for yourself but I’ve already run the numbers here. It is simply not possible for Oprah, or anyone else, to win the 2020 presidential election before the end of 2018.
Yes this is supposed to be funny but it’s also important. Even if Clinton had been given the presidency because of the popular vote, in spite of the electoral college, Republicans would still hold both houses of congress. Democrats can’t make the mistake of ignoring legislative seats and only focusing on the executive. If Oprah does want to run in 2020, she should try to get involved in 2018 to help flip seats.
