didn't look presidential at all - kind of a doofus.

I'd have to say that Stephen didn't hold back and didn't treat him in awe like some other talk show hosts might.

Jeb tried to get in some campaign talk - but I don't think it went over well.

..pretending to be presidential material made me physically ill. When he tried to slap President Obama down the result was less than he expected. Colbert told him there was less than zero percent chance that he won't vote for him. Did I hear that right?

the topic of conversation leading to that was toning down the hostility.

8. Jeb Bush did very poorly IMO

he was like a windup doll with the key sticking out in the front. He jumped in with talking points before there was talk offered.
He came on the scene as supposedly the smart one, and is slowly showing himself to be very much a Bush family member, and none of that spells smart.

he didn't sell out. The music at the end was outstanding.

I miss Letterman, but Colbert seems a good show. I like James Corden too. I generally watch with them in the background while playing guitar or mandola.
