Now that several Tea Party-backed candidates have won primaries, the folks at the Daily Show decided it’s time to ask the really important question: How will the Democrats “fuck this up?” So last night, Jon Stewart, Wyatt Cenac, Jason Jones and John Oliver debated the question.

Jason Jones said the Dems “will fuck this up by just simply missing the point.” Like with anti-masturbation candidate Christine O’Donnell: “The Democrats will probably spend all their time arrogantly ridiculing her for opposing masturbation. I assume hoping for a high turnout of the pro-masturbation crowd.”

But John Oliver had a different, more involved take:

You’re forgetting that the Democrats are a dynamic, innovative party, constantly thinking of new ways to fuck up a sure thing. I believe the Democrats will try to usurp the tea party’s folksiness by throwing a working man-themed fundraiser, where the likes of Sean Penn and Barbara Streisand dine on panko-crusted mahi mahi in the back of Will.I.Am’s stretch Prius. Whilst the bald eagle they rented, to provide a patriotic flare, attacks a group of nearby handicapped schoolchildren, forcing the front-running, can’t-lose Democratic candidate to beat that bald eagle to death in front of live television cameras with the nearest large book he can find, which is — you know it — a Koran.
