Former President Bill Clinton was Jon Stewart's guest on Wednesday's Daily Show, and Stewart got things started by asking if Donald Trump entering the race made him re-evaluate his 2016 support for his wife, Hillary Clinton. Clinton laughed, but didn't bite. "You got five weeks to go, and I'm still the spouse of a presidential candidate, so unlike you, I have to take a dive now and then," Clinton said. The Donald's announcement was "vintage Trump," he added, but Trump "has been, believe it or not, uncommonly nice to Hillary and me."
Stewart also spent time discussing President Obama's stalled Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade pact. Watch the conversation in full below. Peter Weber
