George and Amal Clooney's $500,000 donation to the upcoming gun control march spearheaded by survivors of the recent Parkland, Florida high school shooting has prompted some right-wing pundits to speculate that George Clooney is hinting at a presidential run.  It appears the theory began to develop after Oprah Winfrey, another hypothetical 2020 candidate, announced she will match Clooney's contribution, notes the Washington Post. The Drudge Report reacted to the news with the headline, "CLOONEY 2020 VISION? OPRAH TEAMS WITH GEORGE."  That mention was followed by Sean Hannity saying during his afternoon radio show, "My attitude is, 'Run, George, run.' If George Clooney wants to run, I'm all for it."  Notably, Stephen Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw also said they will be matching Clooneys' donation.
