Clearly that's no longer the case, remember?
Besides, she's head of a very large and successful company, which gives her the necessary chief executive experience, which is quite a bit different from the political part. However I think she'd handle that part better than most people. She'll have tons of political capital if she wins, after all -- way more than Obama.
Besides, how much relevant experience does being, say, a junior Senator from Illinois (or Massachusetts) really give you for the role of POTUS? Yet BHO did a great job, especially early on in his term, as did Kennedy.

Yeah, she might be able to win an election against Trump, so what? Then we go from unqualified evil moron to just unqualified. It's an improvement but we can do much much much better.
Yeah, if you win. But without the winning all else is moot.
The Dem bench is weak. To beat Trump they need a powerhouse, not just another check the box progressive. Oprah is that person.
