Jon Stewart shares his thoughts on why the Democrats lost the election

For his latest Daily Show monologues — the first since election night — Jon Stewart turned his attention to where the Democrats went wrong.

Ultimately, though, the conclusion the host came to was similar to the warning he finished with on the night itself: Nobody really knows.

“I’m sure any robust examination of better policies is very welcome, but I just want to please assure people: This isn’t forever,” Stewart says in the clip above, before brining up a very red U.S. election map from the ’80s. “This is the map in 1984, when Ronald Reagan won. That’s the map. The only state the Democrats won was Minnesota. Yeah. Everyone thought, ‘That’s the end of the Democrats.’ But eight years later there was a Democrat back in office. We don’t know what’s going to happen in four years. At all.”
