    Michele Obama is the only one consistently beating Trump in polls. Not that I want Obama v2, but that’s where it stands currently.

    Done properly, a replacement would get a big bump with the nomination, but that’s not much to count on.

    Jon Stewart would probably wipe the floor with Trump if anyone can figure out how to draft him.

      Jon Stewart would rather make jokes over a still image of Biden than step the fuck up.

        To be fair, in normal times I would want him doing just that. He has no experience in government or campaigning. But right now, beating Trump is all that matters.

        And thats the reson people like him. He tells the truth about everyone instead of pretending the threat of a facist is a good reason to sweep all issues with your candidate under the rug and lie.

        Considering how slow walking biden to the convention has been going lately it seems he was right.

          My point is that he isn’t interested in being a leader. He would rather make the easy jokes, and I’ve lost a ton of respect for him.
