I’m not sure Trump would have won if John was on the Daily Show in 2016. No one is better at cutting through right wing bullshit.

Jon needs to run.
The ones who don't want it are often the ones we need to do it.

I mean, he has a great moral compass, and he’s smart. But he might be better at driving public opinion while he’s on the air. And he definitely doesn’t want to do it.

Jon Stewart was on the air prior to Bush II’s election, and throughout his reign. This didn’t prevent B II from getting re-elected, and he remained a highly popular president until his final year in office. Our lionization of entertainers is nothing short of bizarre

Bush and Trump are entirely different beasts. Bush had the Bush name to give him legitimacy initially and the Iraq war fervor to keep him going. Trump has been publicly a buffoon his entire life and the media failed to properly call him out. We needed a strong media presence to tear him down, and Stewart could have been that.
