“What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”

    But can we try two celebrity Democrats for a change before making up our minds?

    The problem is more they were conservatives; less so their celebrity status. All Republican presidents sucked since Ike, celebrity or not.

      I see the problem as the financial sector having the reigns of both parties national commitees.

      And remember the DNC can just pick who they desire, no matter the primary process.

      At least nobody is suggesting Oprah this time.

      Stewart’s brother is/was COO of NYSE iirc. Not to shame anyone, just saying there is a connection there.
