    He can turn this around fast enough to give the entire country whiplash, just by announcing his candidacy.

      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.
