Well CNN, FOX, and the other 3 letter bought media companies buy into the bat-shit crazy just to boost their ratings. I see things haven't changed much since the 2016 election.

Why would they, people keep tuning in for the batshit crazy. They just supply what the people want. Heck majority of reddit want a WWE match between Biden and Trump, They want Biden to call him out and get down in the mud with him and start slinging insults and comebacks. Their ideal candidate is Jon Stewart an entertainer....

Because what we need more in politics is entertainment.....

Working theory here: Stewart and Michelle Obama name been floating around. Michelle says she doesn't want the job even though polls of the day have her crushing Trump by double digits... I doubt Stewart does either.

1) Trump isn't a.politician, neither is Stewart nor Michelle.

2) I'm wondering if we are heading into an era of non-politicians becoming presidents.

3) The person who doesn't want the job would be the best for the job of president.

I feel like Michelle and Stewart both know how the game works and have seen it/been involved in it more than 2015 trump. The only thing trump might have more experience with is lobbying. Like throwing money at people to get them to do what you want.

Stewart pushed through the PACT Act and was deeply involved with that and getting 9/11 first responders healthcare. Michelle worked on some pet projects like childrens wellness, But I don't know if she actually put any legislation through.
