    Colbert is without a doubt more qualified than Trump to be president. But that’s not actually saying much. Don’t get me wrong, I would gladly vote for Colbert over whatever creature the MAGAts nominate for 2028. But I don’t think Colbert wants to be president. I think he knows hes not really suitable.

        Agreed.

        57 is the maximum age for an ideal, first-term candidate. 57 gives two four-year terms, while remaining under the retirement age. Colbert will reach retirement age in his first term.

        Colbert isn’t an ideal candidate, but he’s not a bad one. He’s electable, as is Jon Stewart.
