In the same sense that SNL is clownish, but more on point. I was unaware that Stewart is running for office. ---

I’m watching MSNBC. They just had a reporter talking to a poll worker in Queens. She was telling him that they have lots of registered Democrats coming in and asking to vote for Trump, which of course they can’t do since it’s a closed primary. When told that they can’t vote for Trump, most of them don’t want to vote for anybody. ---
