Jimmy Kimmel had some random questions for Sen. Ted Cruz (R) on Wednesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, including his first concert and his favorite breakfast cereal (Mueslix?). The rationale was the fact that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are well-known public figures but Cruz has only been in the public eye for a year or so. But Kimmel paused at Trump for a minute.
"Donald Trump: Is he the person you dislike most of anyone in America?" he asked Cruz. "Oh, no. Look...." Cruz began, but Kimmel pressed on: "Who do you like better, Obama or Trump?" "I dislike Obama's policies more," Cruz said, carefully. "But Donald.... Donald is a unique individual." After a few seconds, he continued: "If I were in my car and getting ready to reverse and saw Donald in the backup camera, I'm not confident which pedal I'd push." You can watch Cruz toy with running over Trump, and get to know the candidate better, in the video below. Peter Weber
