    I think it would burn him out. So while I think he’d do a good job, I don’t think he’d be the right candidate.

    If we have to elect a comedian, I would prefer Colbert. Not least because it would be a really funny twist given that Trump basically bullied the network into firing him because Stephen hurt his fee-fees with his jokes. Plus, the debates would be really spicy.
