Cruz’s Attempt at Light-Hearted Late Night Humor: Trump Assassination Jokes


Ted Cruz tried being relatable and funny this week, and instead ended up threatening to assassinate Donald Trump.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Wednesday joked that he would consider backing over rival Donald Trump with his car if the chance arose.

Appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the Texas senator was asked by Kimmel whom he disliked more: President Obama or Trump.

“I dislike Obama’s policies more. Donald is a unique individual,” he said, trailing off to laughter.

“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.”

Ted Cruz may be the leading #NeverTrump candidate, but it’s hardly due to his warm and fuzzy personality. He may be the only man who proved tough enough to take on the Donald and not embarrass himself in the process, but that toughness came at the expense of reliability. It’s often said that the man who you’d most prefer to have a beer with will take the White House. If so, Ted Cruz might as well concede now.
