Do you guys not remember Bill getting fresh at a rally? Dude needs a leash lmao

Is that when he committed voter fraud and shut down that poling place?

 

[IggyChooChoo]

Bill's problem is his strength is also his greatest weakness. He has no chill, that is why you have to have him pointed at shit you want to destroy at all times.

Add in he is clearly entering the Old Man Fuck It Years

So point him at Trump! Point him at the GOP! His speech on behalf of Obama and making the case against Romney was one of the best convention speeches I've ever seen, and that was only 4 years ago! Now we've got a target like Trump, and we're bumping him for Michelle or Joe Biden?!? (Not that I don't love uncle Joe).

That looks like that woman latched on to him, not the other way around. (Am I victim-blaming?)

Ah. The Sanders Strategy.

Naw mayne, Sanders had like half the room.

But yeah it was boring hearing him endorse Clinton today.

Lol @ bitter Bernie people who still won't vote for her. What the hell.

Not saying Bill isn't an asset. He is, but I understand if they kinda want him under the radar right now. Just because of his latest antics.

And This is probably the best time for Michelle to stump for Clinton. She's for the most part wildly loved.

Exactly. He's great when you need someone to go HAM, but outside of that he needs to chill.

Colbert really not helping things...

John Stewart was prone to whataboutism, but I don't remember him being so fucking barmy. Colbert is so ill suited for this. It's hard to believe now that one of the first things that this show did was a serious interview with Joe Biden, but one gets a sense that he would probably run some faux edge wannabe-viral jokey piece like this on him if he were in the race.

It's like the Daily Show without Stewart's contempt of the news media. Trump is a joke, Clinton is a joke, politics is a joke. Hilarious.

It did look that way, she's got her hand on his neck lol

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Michelle could be bumped to almost prime time if she absolutely must speak.

Bill should speak, not only as a former President, but as the spouse of the candidate.

Not to mention as the guy who nuked the entire GOP in his last convention speech. Obama can't go that hard while he's also promoting his legacy.

The show used to be compelling, they even brought in the Secretary of Energy to explain the Iran Nuclear Deal. I haven't watched it for a while, so I can't speak for the current state of the show, but I have a feeling the ratings weren't going well so he had to switch over to typical Late Night fare.

Scalise: "I'm David Duke without the baggage."
Duke: "He's David Duke without the balls."

This is going to be interesting while being horrifying.

They should just do a big musical number at the DNC, that's the usual way to get a bunch of people onstage at the same time.

 

[Mario]

Gotta love that the challenge the DNC faces is how to fit in so many high caliber speakers while the RNC is struggling to put together any kind of speaker lineup at all.

Still hoping for the Red Wedding of speaker lineups for the RNC, where everyone turns on Trump.

He could give a speech like his 1988 DNC speech ^_^.

I'm expecting the eventual RNC lineup to rail on Democrats in general while desperately trying to avoid mentioning Trump by name at all.

Not quite as brutal, but damning nonetheless.

Okay, Bush had a very moving speech today. I'll admit that, he's still got it.

He was in third place, which wasn't really an issue when Dave had the show because he owned the timeslot, but Colbert's got a shorter leash as a result.

You got big dreams. You want the Presidency! You want the house!? Well that costs and right here is where you start paying.

And who, are you, the delegate said
that I must vote so low
Only a man with an orange tan
the only truth I know
a coat of blue, a coat of red
the parties still has sway
and mine is old and strong, my lord
it's still alive today
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that delegate of yesteryear
but now the Trump has the title now
there's no one left to steer
yes now the Trump has the title now
and not a soul to steer

Stewart walking away from the Daily Show looks like a fine career choice in retrospect. It's hard to take Colbert seriously when it seems like his future employment is proportionate to how many jokes he can end with a Donald Trump punchline.

This. It's just as awkward as the RNC site not mentioning Trump by name anywhere on the website. It's all just "the nominee" etc...

 

[User1608]

Trump may as well be non-canon, along with his primary victory.

 

[Plinko]

Moving Bill Clinton out of prime speech space is a dumb idea. His speech last time around was one of the best I've ever seen.

 

[Iolo]

Even Trump won't mention himself by name. "I, the Republican nominee, will win so much you'll be tired of winning. The nominee will build that wall and he is going to beat Hillary Clinton!"

Stewart had a job security that Colbert currently doesn't though. Jon was basically Dave in that he could do what he wanted and no one at the network could tell him no.

 

[benjipwns]

I wouldn't be surprised by any speaking at the convention. Apparently Caityln Jenner might speak?

That would certainly go over well with a huge Trump/Cruz majority of delegates.

She may speak? If she does fuck her forever. Sometimes I can't believe this woman inspired me to come out.

Maybe she is transitioning back to Bruce after all.

They actually moved him out so that he would have time to perform his new mixtape.

How can you justify Bill not being prime-time? He's the presidential spouse.

...how it’s so important for the leader of our nation to be a voice for all Americans. Being a leader that’s not going to pander to a particular group.

Yeah, that sounds like Donald Trump.

I want to see him and Hillary do a rendition of "Big Willie Style" at the convention.

I miss Jon, and I've found it difficult to get into Colbert's new show considering I used to religiously watch the report.

Trevor is ok, the bits on Larry make me cringe a bit sometimes, but at least Sam's show is hot fire; and I also appreciate the deep dives we get from Oliver, even though his humor can be a bit one-note at times.

I'd really love to see Jon come back, even if it's like once every couple weeks or something.

Presidents' approval almost always goes up once out of office, it's human nature to forget or forgive the bad. That's why Obama will have 120% approval in 2035.

Bob Knight
George Washington impersonator
Some guy Trump knows talking about his Amway distributorship
Open mic night

 

[Hazmat]

I think it's because next to Donald Trump he looks pretty good. Like, remember when this prick was the worst we had to offer?
