As only he can do it, Jon Stewart takes a look at the Republican Clown Car, in video clips, confirming he IS going to retire UNLESS .... Donald Trump decided to run! Lol! That entire segment is hilarious.
Talk about loons!
Then he goes to the Democratic Primary.
Using Corporate Media Clips with various talking heads slamming Bernie Sanders 'he's a SOCIALIST FOR CHRIST'S SAKE' or 'his hair', 'too old' 'he's loony' etc etc (paraphrasing here) he exposes the bias of the corporate media.
And then he invites us to just WATCH what it is about Sanders that is so loony.
He plays some clips of Bernie talking about Wall St, about Inequality, about Social Security and then explains WHY Bernie seems so strange.
And I believe he was serious at this point.
He says that we have become so accustomed to politicians who are so scripted, so insincere, so unauthentic etc, that when we see someone like Bernie, honest, authentic etc. HE looks like the one who is strange.
Bernie was the only candidate he spoke well of. For that segment he received a huge round of applause.

I think Bernie has impressed Stewart, as he does everyone who gets to know him.
