In a new poll, 54 percent of Republican voters agreed that Donald Trump wasn't the best choice to be their nominee, Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. "It's kind of like when you go to buy a shirt," he said, as a staffer rolled out a rack of dress shirts. "You look around, you see all these shirts, these plain patterns, regular shirts, maybe a shirt with pinstripes. They look okay, but not exciting, but then, tucked in the middle of all these plain shirts, you see this totally awesome shirt. It's bold, it's different, it doesn't play by the other shirt's rules." You buy it, and then your wife sees you wearing it.
"Fortunately, the store you bought it from has a great return policy — oh wait, no it doesn't," Kimmel said. "This is a shirt you're stuck with for four years. And that's how the two-party system works." But what if one of the parties isn't married? Or your party doesn't have a weakness for paisley? It's an interesting theory. Watch below. Peter Weber
