.................
Are you eligible to run if youre a man-baby, or a baby-man? Stewart asked David Axelrod during a live taping of Axelrods podcast in Chicago. I dont know if theyre referred to as man-baby Americans. He is a man-baby. He has the physical countenance of a man and a babys temperament and hands.
Stewart recalled the argument that ensued online when the Republican presidential candidate revealed his full name on Twitter, prompting the show to begin calling him F*ckface von Clownstick.
I dont know that a man-baby can be president, Stewart explained. Character is destiny. And he is the most thin-skinned individual.
The door is open to an a*shole like Donald Trump because the Democrats havent done enough to show people that government, that can be effective for people, can be efficient for people, Stewart told Axelrod. If you cant do that, then youve lost the right to make that change and someones going to come in and demagogue you.

(8,760 posts)6. Please. Did he swear some sort of solemn oath?
He was expressing his weariness with the process, not promising something to the American people.

(38,508 posts)11. I think it has to do with Trevor Noah and not
grabbing the spotlight from him.
I get his point now. I think.
