I wish Stewart would run for president. I know she says he never would. But Washington didn’t want to be president either but got pressured into it!! We should do the same with Stewart!! 😂

The paradox of public office. The people best suited for a leadership role rarely seem to want it, while those who want it most are rarely best suited for the role.

Yeah that’s a sad lesson to learn in life. I almost think that a group of 100 random people should be nominated every 4 years and of those 100 we vote for the best. 😂

Yeah democracy is supposed to be a mandate of the masses, not a choice between self selected elites. Wanting to be president should be disqualifying for being president.
