Besides, I am not keen at having entertainers for politicians. For the same reason I don't want Oprah either.

Stewart would tell you himself that he has no business being President and that is the major difference even though we know that Stewart is smarter, a better person, and would likely be able to adapt to the role much better than Trump has. Basically anyone would be better than Trump, but that does not mean that we should do that just because Trump has been so bad.

Stewart would do everything he could to benefit the country. He'd get my vote.

Without being president. We need boots on the ground. Freedom fighters. Fighters for what is just and right. Everyone does not have to be a politician to do that. Without the obstruction and gridlock of DC. Trump has no business being president. He's an anomaly that fed off racism. There are other politically savvy and talented politicians that I would prefer to see be president. If HE chooses a career in politics at some point. Great. I am not going to push for it.
