“What I think about Hillary Clinton is, you know, I imagine to be a very bright woman without the courage of her convictions, because I’m not even sure what they are,” the former “Daily Show” host told David Axelrod, in an interview Monday at the University of Chicago.

The former host of "The Daily Show" told Axelrod that some politicians render "their inauthenticity in real time," while others do so with a bit of a lag."It's like when you have a Mac and you want to play a Microsoft game on it and there's that weird lag. That's Hillary Clinton," Stewart said during the taping of the interview at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics. "What gives me hope in that is that there is a delay, which means she is somehow fighting something," he continued. "I've seen politicians render their inauthenticity in real time, and that's where you go, 'That is a sociopath.'"

Stewart reserved special criticism for Trump, calling him a "man-baby ." “I would vote for Mr. T over Donald Trump,” he asserted. “But, I think she will be in big trouble if she can’t find a way, and maybe I’m wrong. Maybe a real person doesn’t exist underneath there. I don’t know.

Stewart also compared Clinton, who he said he imagines "to be a very bright woman without the courage of her convictions," to former star basketball player Magic Johnson's failed talk show. "Magic Johnson was a charming individual, but he wasn't a talk-show host," he said. "And when you watched his show, you could almost see Arsenio [Hall]'s advice to him in real time rendering." "It never seemed authentic and real to his personality," he continued. "It seemed like he was wearing an outfit designed by someone else for someone else to be someone else."

One moment that stuck out for me in one of the debates, where the question was about "homegrown terrorists" and Clinton answered

You can watch, in real time as she's about to say "intelligence coup" there at the end, and then changes her vocabulary choice on the fly.

Video where you can see the lag:

I'm not sure exactly what this says about who Hillary Clinton really is. I know I've done similar things myself when explaining technical issues to a non-technical audience.  But it struck me as relevant.
