Should Jon Stewart run for POTUS? No.
Would I vote for Jon Stewart if he ran for POTUS? Probably.
This says less about my faith in Jon's ability to govern, and more about my lack of faith in current politicians to lead ethically.
I'd rather see Jon make the right decisions but make mistakes, than to see a seasoned politician make the wrong decisions and execute them competently.
I at least have faith Jon is smart enough and with a true compassion in his heart, that he'd be able to surround himself with real experts, listen open mindedly to their advice, and regularly make decisions with empathy.
All that said, he's said repeatedly he doesn't want that job, and I do not blame him.
No one that wants that job should be allowed to.
For that very reason, I sometimes imagine a world where public office is handled like jury duty, picked semi-randomly.
