Yesterday, Donald Trump announced he will run for the republican nomination for president. Who would he want on the ticket as vice president? Oprah.

"I think Oprah would be great. I'd love to have Oprah," Trump told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "I think we'd win easily, actually."

This isn't the first time Trump has suggested Oprah would make a great veep.

Stephanopoulos asked Trump whether he'd consider asking Winfrey to join his campaign, given that Trump mentioned Winfrey as a possible running mate back in 1999.

It's unlikely Oprah would join Trump on a presidential ticket, she declined once before back in 1999. Oprah's voyage into politics on behalf of Obama wasn't really successful. In 2008, she endorsed Obama and campaigned for him but in 2012 she had much lower campaign profile.

Winfrey said in 1999 that she wasn't interested in the job, and it's likely she'd say the same thing this time around. When Winfrey endorsed President Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, it was her first ever political endorsement. She endorsed Mr. Obama in 2012 but declined to actively campaign for him as she had in the previous race.
