That's why fact checking DURING the debate is more important than letting someone ramble nonsense.

[demonicsweaters]

The contrast between the candidates Republicans used to put up there compared to the absolute nut jobs they have now is astounding.

[hbeachley]

Fact checking mid sentence during the debate. Can you imagine? I can barely believe that happened in my lifetime.

[KatrinP-ju]

That first answer from Bush is truly depressing, because you KNOW that if it were asked today, pretty much any Republican candidate would say, "Yep, elect a Democrat and the terrorists will come for us." We have fallen so far.

What strikes me about this compilation is that DEBATES USED TO BE INTELLIGENT!
Put DJT in the mix, and it's mind-numbing how quickly the discourse devolves into insults and lies.

[joanfregapane]

It’s amazing how civil and clear each candidate answered the questions, whether you thought the answers were substantive enough or not, there were actually ANSWERS that addressed the actual questions asked. I’d nearly forgotten how that sounded.

[draconity]

Please let this mean that you’ll have Jon commenting on the presidential debates this year. I can’t tell you how much I need it!

[MMM]

It must be exhausting to fact check all of Trump lies in every debate/interview.

[TiggerToo]

When President Obama is 'ON', nobody can beat him on talking and getting his message across. The man is a political genius!

[shantanusapru]

And this is why Jon Stewart is - and always shall remain - the GOAT!!!

[Balthazar]

Jon Stewart would be the ultimate debate moderator.

[mmarsbarr]

I miss respectful debates like this, trump has turned this into a clown show

[leopardboasbowman]

Cant wait to not hear about Trump for 10+ years. Would be nice

[emiebex]

I would love to see Jon Stewart moderate a Presidential Debate. He wouldn't ask softball questions.

[maryannargiro]

I have watched the Wile E Coyote bit a dozen times over the years. Ths was one of Jon's finest moments " Please Governor...proceed"

[naomihopeopheliajasirineve]

Every time I hear President Obama speak my heart longs again

[iammaxhailme]

its sad seeing how even BUSH sounds more coherent on actual policy/issues than trump.

[trevorprice]

“Can you say that a little louder Candy…” absolutely floored me the first time I watched this. 😂😂😂

[LidiaBly-Herman-tfoc]

I miss Obama, too. Obama kept my son and family (wife and 5 kids) from losing their home. Thank you, Obama.

[wiscogirl]

I used to think President H.W Bush was the worst public speaker, but then along came Trump and he said hold my beer and watch this....
