Well, that would be interesting... Oprah and Marianne Williamson could host a national book club.
How about Oprah with Barack as VP?
Why not go all the way and run one of the Kardashians? Seriously though, Warren has a real shot at the nomination.
Well I won't be voting for a Democrat then.
Maybe you won't but a lot of other people would.

It's not happening, I don't know why he's so fixated on some latecomer entering the race. Michelle is on the record multiple times talking about how much she hated being in the whitehouse, and the idea that Bloomberg would get any kind of support from democrats is laughable.
Oprah has name recognition, sure, but who among the current candidates would she pilfer supporters from? Maybe as a populist candidate she could garner some support, but she would have had to declare months ago to build a coalition capable of winning the nomination. And in any case I don't get the impression the democrats would be terribly interested in supporting a TV personality with no record of public service, considering who she'd be running against.
It's pure fantasy.

Additional candidates like Oprah would have to already have serious ground games going on in states like Iowa and California as the primary election in those states will be away in just a few months.
Does anyone have any evidence that Oprah has a functioning campaign in Iowa or California?

Just to reemphasize something you already said, in order for Oprah to run as a Democrat, she has to win the party’s nomination. But in order to win the party’s nomination she has to win the most votes, not from the general public, BUT FROM DEMOCRATS.
I don’t think posters proclaiming her success are fully understanding this. She’s not running for general election. Before she can even do that She needs to run for the party’s nomination.
So as you said, which candidates’ supporters is she going to pilfer from? Certainly not enough from anyone in the top 4. Especially if she doesn’t even have a functioning campaign in the states with early primary voting. Even if she somehow managed to gain support, votes will have already been cast.
Oprah doesn’t have a prayer cuz math and time matter. Oh, and because she hasn’t even declared.
It’s difficult to win if you never even declare to run
