Along these same lines, I actually think John Stewart would be a great candidate to go against Trump, and is someone who I could see doing the job well. I'm sure he wants nothing to do with it, but he definitely could beat Trump at his own game because he has nothing to lose. Some stiff DNC'er is going to get clowned on again, which goes further with a lot people than facts, reality, logic, common sense, decency, etc...
Frankly, I hope this Trump fiasco backs America away from non-politician politicians, but, in the era of "doubling down", I doubt it.
