For the annual Women in Entertainment Power 100, the Hollywood Reporter asked Hollywood’s most “powerful women” who they wanted as their presidential candidate in 2020. Though some answers were seemingly “off the wall” they all had ONE thing in common: everyone chose a liberal.
“Predictably, Oprah ranked as a favorite among the industry insiders, as presidential buzz has engulfed the mogul and star ever since her memorable 2017 Golden Globes speech,” said THR. “Other top mentions lean Democratic, including Texan superstar Beto O’Rourke and California’s own Kamala Harris.”
And they all get worse from there.
Most of them were obnoxiously expected:
“Biden or Beto — and ideally with both of them on the same ticket!” — Blair Kohan, board member, partner, motion picture literary agent, UTA
“Joe Biden as president with Kamala Harris as vice president.” — Debbee Klein, Paradigm
“A version of Kamala Harris and Beto O’Rourke. Or Beto and Kamala.” — Victoria Alonso, executive VP physical and post-production, Marvel Studios
“Beto O’Rourke and a strong woman, maybe Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren or Amy Klobuchar.” — Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive VP and head of programming, A&E
“O’Rourke/Gillum? O’Rourke/Abrams? Always love Elizabeth Warren. There was a time I would have said Gillibrand somewhere on the ticket — but after she threw Al Franken under the bus, she lost me.” — Jenji Kohan, showrunner
“Still searching, but love Beto.” — Lucy Fisher, president, Producers Guild of America
“Kamala Harris and Beto O’Rourke.” — Jeanne Newman, talent attorney, Hansen Jacobson
“Kamala Harris and anyone.” — Pearlena Igbokwe, president, Universal TV
“Beto O’Rourke for president and Stacey Abrams for VP.” — Tracey Jacobs, board member, partner, talent agent, UTA
“Michelle Obama and Beto O’Rourke.” — Aleen Keshishian, Lighthouse Media & Management
“I recently saw a bumper sticker that said: Any Functioning Adult 2020. But the dream ticket … Kamala Harris and Beto O’Rourke.” — Blair Rich, president of worldwide marketing, Warner Bros.
“Beto O’Rourke! I think it’s too soon to think about running mates.” — Nina Rosenstein, executive vp programming, HBO
Isn’t it HILARIOUS how these people talk about “diversity” non-stop, and yet all think the EXACT SAME WAY?!
Whaaaatever.
“Michelle Obama. A strong and diverse woman and mother in the White House would be awesome.” — Rita Ferro, president of ad sales, Disney-ABC
A “diverse” woman? What exactly does THAT mean? She just means “black” doesn’t she?
And then the answers got even dumber:
“Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.” — Sarah Barnett, president of entertainment networks, AMC Networks
You know. A singer and his model wife who hate Trump
“George Clooney/Beto O’Rouke.” — Nicole Clemens, president, Paramount TV
“I had a dream Snoop Dogg was my running mate, but we couldn’t decide who would be president and who would be vice president, so we went and got pizza instead. Is that what you mean?” — Ellen DeGeneres, TV host, executive producer
Shut up, Ellen.
Oh, someone wants Ellen to run, btw:
“Oprah and Ellen. Seriously. If I had said Trump to you five years ago, would you have believed it could come true?” — Lisa Gregorian, president and chief marketing office, Warner Bros. TV
No.
“Andrew Shepherd [from The American President, played by Michael Douglas] and Rachel Maddow.” — Julie McNamara, executive VP original content, CBS All Access
RACHEL MADDOW?
That legitimately the dumbest one yet.
“Oprah and Elizabeth Warren.” — Amy Pascal, producer
“Oprah.” — Theresa Peters, board member, partner, talent agent, UTA
About 15 other people said Oprah…you know. Because “diversity of thought” is apparently the only “diversity” they’re not fans of.
“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Eleanor Roosevelt.” — Beth Swofford, motion picture agent, CAA
Um…Who’s gonna tell her?
AAAANYWAY, I’m sure y’all are SHOCKED to find out the most “powerful women in Hollywood” are all insufferable libs.
