Stewart's humility has always been an impediment to this cause. And yes, I know right wingers will scoff at that, but watch him 10 years ago anytime people talked about the importance of his role, he would wilt away from the idea of stepping up and expanding.
But I think he's a great recognizer of merit in others, and he'd hire all the actual best people, and listen to them earnestly since he readily admits he himself doesn't know shit (in the Platonic sense, which is good, opposite of Trump.)
The best people don’t want to run. They need to be convinced. Have your people call his people. I’d like to see you and/or Krystal interview Jon. You could show him how ridiculously popular he is as a potential candidate and gently beg him to run.
THIS THIS THIS -the DNC & establishment of such is the republicans before Reagan.I am a 63 year old NC white female lifelong Dem voter.I am sick & tired of the old (literally) guard. Jon is great but he’s old too.He & Bernie can help us bring folks like AOC & Crockett & Pressley to lead a new party

It was a byproduct of his infantile tirade, but I'll still take the outcome.
