A temporary buzzkill struck today after Winfrey dumped cold water on those hoping to see her run for office:

Is Stelter giving up hope? NEVER!
Oprah told @laurabrown99 that running for president is "not something that interests me." https://t.co/Jb4axoODDQ The interview came out today, but it was conducted 3 weeks before the Globes… She'll be doing more press for "A Wrinkle In Time," and 2020 will keep coming up…

Reality: Next year Oprah might feel compelled to run, or she might not. No one knows. In her convos with friends — some of whom are urging her to run — she hasn't ruled it out. She acknowledged those convos to @laurabrown99 but also said, "I don't have the DNA for it…"

You are by far the most obsessed with this idea, let it go man.

Dear Brian,
Let it go, man.
"I don't have the DNA for it" means "No." https://t.co/B75nc8DeBI
