    It’s not sustainable to just run politicians because their entertainment background makes them electable. Sometimes they need to make difficult decisions. It’s gotta stop some time

    Maybe I would have supported Stewart running in 2024 against Trump, particularly with hindsight advantage. Fight fire with fire.

    Of course I would also vote Stewart over any modern Republican, because those guys can do some damage

    But with Trump not running in 2028, I don’t see a similar celebrity on the Republican ticket. I’m still dealing with a bad hangover from Kamala Harris 2024, but I would rather see her in office and making those tough decisions than Stewart, because she has the experience doing so.
