    oh 100% I agree with you he is different now but based on what I saw on Monday everything he said was true but not helpful since the deadline to replace biden has passed I would have rather seen him not take the easy hanging fruit of Biden is too old which I agree with and focus more on the RNC is a mess and trump thinks he is above the law.

    Like I said before he was only a very small part of the problem back then and now I’m not sure he is relevant enough to make change now. but let me be clear I don’t blame him for the problems I blame him for not being a solution and going along for the ride. I think he is a smart man and I’m a huge fan of his. I guess really I blame all of us that don’t hold our journalists accountable. the people that show up for their 1984 style of two minutes of hate but instead of two minutes it’s 24 hours and in your pocket.

      If Daily show is relevant at all this election it will be because of Jon. This episode was him reestablishing himself as the most trusted man in news. Stewart has plenty of time to kill trump. But don’t expect him to be a champion for democrats. He never has been. He has a chance now though.
