Stephen Colbert: Trump "knows who the real audience is"

Spoiler: Stephen doesn't know anything about politics!

YouTube: In an interview with "Face the Nation's" John Dickerson, the comedian and host of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" talked presidential politics and Donald Trump, whose populism he admits he finds "very appealing."

The only thing I don't believe is when he repeats that he doesn't know anything about politics.
I'm sorry, Steven, I know you're trying to be humble and to deflect to your comedian nature, but of course you know politics. You're now doing the same thing Jon Stewart did all these years - pretend to know nothing while absolutely knowing a ton and teaching us all how to think in the system.

You have taken over for Stewart now. It's just the humility is a bit thinly veiled.

It's possible he doesn't. What's happening now isn't politics. It's the "truthy" version.

Well then, Colbert should be the most in the know, as the person who coined the word 'truthiness'....no?

That said, it's still likely he doesn't understand today's politics, as there's no rational rationale for most of what happens or is said, it's all irrational personal political truthiness.

This dead video has been deemed functional; either it was accidentally declared dead or eric3579 is planning to manually replace the embed with a backup - declared notdead by eric3579.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Weird to see Colbert in a semi-serious mode. US election is feeling kind of apocalyptic to me at this point, as viewed from a distance in Australia.
