I'm not sure Trump would have won if John was on the Daily Show in 2016. No one is better at cutting through right wing bullshit.

Jon needs to run.

The ones who don't want it are often the ones we need to do it.

I mean, he has a great moral compass, and he's smart. But he might be better at driving public opinion while he's on the air. And he definitely doesn't want to do it.

Also if he ran in the very next election, he’d be 66 at his inauguration. Not exactly achieving our goal of injecting some youth into the presidency!
