What kind of preparation would Jon Stewart have to be a good President of the USA? other than being famous?

He has shown that he has the very necessary ability to say, "I don't know." And him being famous for what he does has put him in the unique position to follow it up with, "But I know some people who might..."

He has also demonstrated the very essential ability to listen when the smart people (and Doris Kearns-Goodwin) are talking.

Do I think he would be a good president? No. He's very much a liberal capitalist that worships the status quo we had under Clinton.

It's just that he demonstrates the qualities of a good leader that people are searching for in these demon days.

So he should be aligned in the complete opposite direction of the country and the world. Ok. You think he can turn it all around in 4 years with a divided house?

Oh snap

those abilities represent an incredibly low bar to clear man... it shows you have had shit leadership for such a long time

I do not disagree with you on that.

I was just starting to wonder what country you were in. No worries, it doesn’t matter.
