['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Stephen Colbert will be out of a job in 10 months, assuming HBO Max, Netflix or Apple TV don’t scoop him up. Coincidently, 10 months from now would be a great time to begin an exploratory committee for a 2028 presidential run. I say, do it Stephen!
Now before you say, “Oh great, another celebrity entering politics”, hear me out. There are at least ten good reasons why Colbert would make a great president…. and would probably win in a landslide against Trump (yes, I think he’ll try for a third term), Vance or anyone else the Repubs can dredge up. Let’s review:
Strong Communication Skills
Stephen Colbert is a master communicator who can speak to diverse audiences and simplify complex issues using humor.
Sharp Intelligence and Quick Thinking
His sharp intelligence and quick thinking make him effective in interviews, debates, and high-pressure situations.
Strong Moral Compass with Deep Faith and Strong Family Values
He is a lifelong Catholic and has shared his belief and faith many times on The Late Show. He is also a loving husband, married to Evie for 32 years.
Understanding of Political and Cultural Issues
He has a deep understanding of political and cultural issues from decades of analyzing them through satire.
Empathy and Moral Clarity
Colbert demonstrates empathy and moral clarity, often speaking sincerely about serious issues and personal loss.
Populist Appeal with a Critical Eye
He has populist appeal and can connect with everyday Americans while maintaining critical insight into political systems.
Not Afraid to Challenge Power
He’s not afraid to challenge power, as seen in his bold satire and direct critiques of political figures.
Sense of Humor
His sense of humor is a valuable asset in leadership, diplomacy, and public engagement.
Leadership and Team Management Experience
He has leadership and team management experience from running a successful daily TV show, the highest rated late night talk show last time I checked.
From South Carolina!
Although he’s worked in New York for more than a decade, he is originally from South Carolina, a red state he could win!
So let’s get to work and make this happen! And if it’s not asking too much, how about Jon Stewart for his Vice President!
