That's kind of the problem though, sp. Trump if nothing else is a cautionary tale in how dangerous it is to elect a reality TV star rather than someone who is actually an experienced politician. You're right, of course, that the USA has previous form in this area - and frankly it is horrifying and dangerous.
ummmm, making speeches is quite important if it shows you can sway people.It's particularly so if you're able to articulate what a lot of people are feeling.
As I remember, that was how Bush junior first came into the spotlight as a presidential possibility (he'd been governor of Texas, though, and came from a political family). The Republicans were wondering where to go after Clinton was elected; Bush seemed to be able to present their ideals in a way that they thought might persuade the public.

Hopkirk - // I completely agree that the present incumbent is totally unsuitable.
However the fact he is there is not an argument for someone else unprepared for the job to be installed. //
That pretty much perfectly sums up the argument.
Americans can have difficulty in separating television and film from reality - which has led to Mr Trump's turn on The Apprentice being parlayed into suitability for major political office, when clearly it is anything but.
A parallel is the X Factor - someone's friends and family who love them and what then to live their 'dream' persuade them that they have a talent which they clearly do not possess, and they audition for the show.
This is borne from a desire for their loved one to succeed, coupled with less than no knowledge of what is actually required - until a panel of judges who do know what is required put the individual straight about the reality of their 'dream' being realised.
I am sure Ms Winfrey is possessed of more than sufficient self-awareness to know what her strengths and weaknesses are in the political arena, which is why she is a tv host.
