Jon Stewart. He adamantly opposes the suggestion he run, which is exactly what we need. He's got decades of experience in global politics, he's likeable, got name recognition. And to your suggestion he's a smooth talking attractive white man

He’s got decades of experience in global politics

It's hilarious that people genuinely believe this.

He made the right call on a whole bunch of foreign policy issues that the Very Experienced Professionals were assuring us they had a handle on. Just because he doesn’t have the relevant real skills, doesn’t mean the establishment candidates have any of it, either.

He made the right call on a whole bunch of foreign policy issues

You're confusing setting actual foreign policy with heckling from the sidelines. Stewart wasn't overseeing any US Departments or writing big policy whitepapers adopted by either of the parties. He was spitting jokes from a news desk in a 30 minute segment four days a week.

Just because he doesn’t have the relevant real skills, doesn’t mean the establishment candidates have any of it, either.

Whatever you might say about Biden's policies (re: bellicose, economically ruinous, genocidal), he definitely has the skills to implement them. That's a big part of the problem. If he was properly incompetent, a bunch of these nightmare programs wouldn't be put into effect.

Have you noticed a worrying shake to his movements ever since he started back with the daily show?

Dunno about him, but I did. I hope he's okay, he's a national treasure.

A little bit of Palsy would help him fit right in with the octogenarian candidates

Being a comedian/activist is different than running a country, John Stewart has power outside the government and would be broken inside.
