** Likewise, the segment following the National Democratic Debate had all of the Daily Show's correspondents claiming that Hilary was most likely to win, a satire on how most of the media claimed that Hilary "won" the debate despite the polls showing Bernie surpassing her in popularity. The YouTube comments that ensued blasted Trevor for following suit with that media, instead of making fun of it.
