I'd vote for her, but I don't think she's ready. Better than Biden though.
Personally, I want Jon Stewart. He's not perfect, but there's not a single person on the planet better equipped to take down Trump.
I don't know if Jon or AOC would make a better president, but Jon would be better at campaigning against Trump.
But really just give us someone under 65. (Note: I'll still vote for the good person who's too old for the job if the alternative isn't better.)
pls no more reality tv presidents.
There's a bit of a difference. Jon Stewart has made his reputation and career in political commentary. That's not exactly The Apprentice.
Yeah Jon is very intelligent, very quick witted, and a deep thinker. He reads a lot, listens, and learns from his mistakes. He knows to admit he doesn’t know something and listen to advice. And most importantly, he actually wants to do what’s right. I’m pretty sure he’d be a top 10 president.
To compare him to a reality tv personality like Trump is a little disingenuous.
