I can see this happening. But Oprah could be a team player. She runs, wins the nomination, then selects Hillary or another qualified politician as VP, then once elected, Oprah steps down after 100 days and Hillary is president.
Back in 2008, I always felt when Obama edged out Hillary in the primary, he should have met with her and said "Hillary, I am a young man. Now is your time. I ran and didn't really expect to win, but did it to setup a run in 2016. But now that I have won, I am will tell my delegates to vote for you if you name me your VP. Then after 8 years of VP experience, I will be ready to take over in 2016." Oh, what could have been!
