    The most important qualification a leader can have is the trust of the population.

    Everything else is what advisors are for, and despite what you want to believe Stewart has seen how the kosher sausage is made, when he bullied Congress into taking care of the 9/11 first responders.

    There are many, many worse candidates out there, and quite frankly not many better.

    Is that a sad state of affairs?

    Sure. But it’s also reality.

    And, just fyi, Trump wasn’t a bad candidate because he was a TV celebrity.

    He was a bad candidate because he’s an idiotic fascist.

      Nope. Not at all. Again this is how we get people like Trump as president.

      He was a bad candidate because he’s an idiotic fascist.

      And yet half the population trusts the moron so we’re gonna agree to disagree.
