Stewart had a lot of fun with 2016 tonight.

“They’re all very colorful characters, but for me — for me — there can be only one Fuckface von Clownstick,” Stewart said, before playing the clip of Trump saying he knows how to defeat ISIS, but doesn’t want to give it away.

“Not because I don’t have a foolproof plan, I do,” Stewart said as Trump. “But I’m not going to tell you, I’m withholding it for now, because I am a tremendous asshole.”

Stewart went on to praise the “excitable” and “unpolished” Bernie Sanders in relation to the overly controlled Hillary Clinton, who somehow becomes southern when she speaks in the South.

“The problem isn’t Bernie Sanders is a crazy-pants cuckoo bird,” Stewart concluded. “It’s that we’ve all become so accustomed to stage-managed, focus-driven candidates that authenticity comes across as lunacy.”

There's a video clip at the link. The text doesn't do the 9-minute segment justice.

That in addition to Letterman leaving CBS (which really broke my heart).

The primaries are just getting started.

I wish he would hang on until after the election, this is just a cruel taste of what we're going to be starving for by this time next year.
