Highlight:

Jon Stewart to host NY Democratic Debate before primary? #jonstewartdebate [View all] blueintelligentsia Mar 2016 OP

He would certainly have more credibility than ANY MSM talking head. dchill Mar 2016 #1

Having a comedian host a debate would lose a lot of credibility. brooklynite Mar 2016 #2

Snarf! That comment is worthy of a comedian. JackRiddler Mar 2016 #8

Try harder...picture a bit more humor than the rest of the debates... blueintelligentsia Mar 2016 #5

he'd be far better than ANY cable news spin heads, including PBS 2banon Mar 2016 #7

brooklynite you realize politicians went on his show for years... blueintelligentsia Mar 2016 #4

I also realize that he had a niche audience...which I suspect has already made up it's mind brooklynite Mar 2016 #17

It's amazing how we got to a place where this seems like a good idea. Gidney N Cloyd Mar 2016 #6

I think it would be great. Debates don't have to be boring. Kalidurga Mar 2016 #9

How about Keith Olbermann in his debut back into the game? I like that too..n/t monmouth4 Mar 2016 #10

Love Jon's timing, mugging, etc., but he is way too Clinton. merrily Mar 2016 #11

He's more liberal....not way too Clinton, what gives you that impression? blueintelligentsia Mar 2016 #12

Disagree. Jon said nasty things about Sanders until the Daily Show audience pushed back. merrily Mar 2016 #15

can we opt-in Colbert? MisterP Mar 2016 #13

Yes?? Worried about changing the poll, per DU rules n/t blueintelligentsia Mar 2016 #14

Gee, if 57 votes on an online poll don't convince him to do it, what will? brooklynite Mar 2016 #16
