Points against, summarized from a recent Slate article that I can no longer find:
1. She has regularly associated with charlatans and quacks, i.e., Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Jenny Mcarthy's anti-vax nonsense.
2. She built her career exploiting human misery for viewership. Not that people cared about Trump's radio tapes.
3. The Secret.
4. The Secret.

From Wikipedia:
The Secret was released as a film in March 2006, and later the same year as a book. The book is influenced by Wallace Wattles' 1910 book The Science of Getting Rich, which Byrne received from her daughter during a time of personal trauma in 2004.
The book has been translated into 50 languages and has sold over 20 million copies. Due partly to an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the book and film had grossed $300 million in sales by 2009. Byrne has subsequently released Secret merchandise and several related books.
Byrne re-introduces a pseudo-scientific notion originally popularized by persons such as Madame Blavatsky and Norman Vincent Peale, which suggests that thinking about certain things will make them appear in one's life. Byrne provides alleged examples of historical persons who have achieved this. Byrne cites a three-step process to achieve this: ask, believe, and receive. This is based on a quotation from the Bible's Matthew 21:22: "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
Byrne highlights the importance of gratitude and visualization in achieving one's desires, along with alleged examples. Later chapters describe how to improve one's prosperity, relationships, and health, with more general thoughts about the universe."Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
Hear my cry, hear my shout,
Save me, save me"

Maybe Oprah can have Jim Yong Un on her show and give him some free stuff and let him meet some Basketball stars and then everything will be fine with NK. They can do facials.

But anyway, are there really enough people who would take Oprah seriously enough as a candidate to get her nominated, let alone elected? I'm not so sure. Trump was a successful businessman long before he became the "reality TV star" for which liberals love to deride him. Oprah, on the other hand, has pretty much been nothing but a TV star. It's also going to be hard to run against Trump's record if he keeps up the pace he set in his first year as president. What will be Oprah's message? "Do you hate a vigorous economy, lower taxes, and low unemployment? Then vote for someone who will change all of that!" Yeah, that's a winning ticket. Or is she going to be like Romney in some of his debates where he all but applauded Obama's record?
