Stewart also weighed in on the changing media landscape and his Apple TV exit before returning to host, on Monday nights, the Comedy Central late night show.
Being a celebrity shouldn’t be disqualifying. Trump was a dumb, loud criminal before being president and stayed a dumb, loud crimnal as president.
Stewart is in one of the most intelligent, articulate, charismatic and compassionate people in the public sphere and one can only hope he would be such as president. If he wanted to run, which he doesn’t.
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.

That’s why I didn’t even mention “popular”, and listed a bunch of other traits besides charisma.
Comparing Stewart with Trump is lazy and simplistic, do better.
