There are a lot of polls out on the 2016 presidential race, but none of them ask children what they think, Jimmy Kimmel noted on Thursday's Kimmel Live. So, he put together a focus group of four adorable grade schoolers to discuss the candidates. There's some good news for Hillary Clinton — they think she's nice, but also 91 — and Donald Trump ("George Clooney!") but bad news for Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders ("He looks very old, like this year he's gonna die"). The kids do know what they want in a candidate — "the guy that said we're going to stop fighting and start doing our best" — so 2028 candidates, take note. "Remember folks, children are our future," Kimmel said. Watch and learn. Peter Weber
