Statement by Cormac Flynn, national director of the National Committee to Draft Oprah Winfrey for President of the United States 2020: Ms. Winfrey's comments reported in the media today are an eloquent demonstration of why the Draft Oprah effort is needed. Her reluctance is understandable given the current tenor of American politics. The draft committee process exists specifically to encourage a reluctant candidate to run. If we want her or other talented and qualified Americans to serve, we need to show them that millions of fellow Americans will work for their election and support and help their efforts to change our country for the better. America needs a president with the kind of skills and proven leadership of a person like Oprah Winfrey. And we need to demonstrate our support for that idea. As Oprah herself has said: “You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.”They're not wrong about that, but they're turning it upside down. The principle is not that you get everything you ask for. It's that you don't get anything you don't ask for. If you knew you were going to get everything you asked for, and there was no risk of being turned down, you'd ask for everything you ever wanted without hesitation.
