Kimmel then joked about the public perception of Cruz as an unpopular man amongst his colleagues.

He said that perversely, his strategy in this race seemed to be hanging around until voters and his political peers realized they hated all the other candidates more than him.

Kimmel said that this has already happened with Senator Lindsey Graham, who has reluctantly endorsed Cruz because he can't bear to support Trump.

This not only speaks to Cruz's immaturity, it speaks to his lack of decency, common sense & morality. No Christian in their right mind would ever joke about killing another Christian, period!!! Just the thought that he could not decide whether to run Trump over or not speaks volumes!!! Especially since this is the guy lying about Trump creating an environment of violence, when in fact, Cruz is obviously the one with violent tendencies flowing through his lying brain.

I think both are jokes. Explain my hypocrisy.

That stands with those who laughed at Trump’s insulting jokes but are offended by this one from Cruz. Not with me.
