In his victory speech after winning the Nevada Republican caucuses, Donald Trump proclaimed his love for the "poorly educated" voters who turned out to caucus for him. "He loves the poorly educated? Who says that?" laughed Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday's Kimmel Live. But the poorly educated love Trump back, Kimmel said, "and they love that he loves them. In fact, the poorly educated love him so much they made him this advertisement." They didn't, of course, but the commercial thrown together by the Kimmel team throws some pretty hard elbows — if you watch closely, there appear to be some digs at George W. Bush. At least Donald Trump would approve of that. So, while you're waiting for Trump to make Merica grate again, watch the video below. Peter Weber
