Even since her performance at the Golden Globes, the prospect of an Oprah Winfrey Presidency has been gaining steam. However general enthusiasm turned to unbridled horror at where this could potentially lead.

“What if she doesn’t run but it gets Dr. Phil thinking he has a shot at the White House instead?”

The thought of a Dr Phil Administration is sending shudders though much of the American public.

“At least with Trump he’s so incompetent there is some limit to the damage he can do. Not so with Dr. Phil.”

Talk of the mere possibility has people thinking of leaving the United States, and not for Canada.

“Canada’s no good because then I’d still be living in a country that is next to a country run by Dr. Phil. I would need an ocean between me and that.”

But some people seem room for optimism even in this scenario.

“Hey, at least it’s better than President Oz.”
