Do you like your political satire lukewarm with a side of inanity? Trevor Noah’s The Daily Show is here for you, with some jokes that your 13-year-old cousin found on a popsicle stick. Some examples:
Of course Virginia goes to Trump. Their capital is "Rich-mond.” #SuperTuesday

You might argue that it’s not Noah’s (or his social media team’s) responsibility to guide the very important events of Super Tuesday with insightful quips about the terror that is Donald Trump—though that should not be hard!—but it would be nice if their output was at least slightly entertaining.
If you wistfully remember when The Daily Show churned out cutting observations that actually made you laugh you may want to try your luck with Samantha Bee or John Oliver.
