Stewart spent most of the segment ripping into Biden and explains “When the barbarians are at the gate you want Conan. You don’t want chocolate chip guy [Biden].” While Stewart threw some barbs at Trump, I think Biden came off looking worse than Trump did. I like Stewart and the Daily Show, but damn this was just irresponsible on their part. ---

I’d encourage everyone to watch the segment. Stewart _led_ with Trump’s (and his family’s, in depositions) memory problems. He anticipated all the flak he’d get from Dems, and forthrightly addressed it. I strongly support Biden and will vote for him in a heartbeat over Trump, and I thought Stewart was completely fair, on-target and funny in his criticisms of _both_. ---

I can’t say that it pisses me off that Trump squeezes every nickel out of his fans. But it does piss me off that it is now seen as normal that a presidential candidate flogs merchandise for his personal gain.

Boring question, but why would Trump be called 47 if he’s elected again? It’s a count of Presidents, not Presidential terms. You’re not the Nth and (N+1)th President if you serve two consecutive terms, you remain the Nth person to _be_ President. So why wouldn’t Trump remain the 45th person to be President if he’s reelected?
