Jimmy Kimmel couldn't believe he actually sees eye to eye with Ted Cruz on something.
On the Thursday, January 25, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian brought up how Cruz is all for Donald Trump and Joe Biden taking a cognitive test as many voters are concerned both of them are losing it.

Jimmy Kimmel said he finally agrees with Ted Cruz on something.
“Ted Cruz does not like Donald Trump. He pretends to — he kisses his a-- constantly — but on this show, Ted Cruz told me if he had a chance to run Donald Trump over with his car, he would,” Kimmel began, adding that Cruz is “no dummy,” and in a “quietly evil way" he’s trying to get Trump to take a cognitive test.
“I don’t think I’ve ever said this, but I agree with Ted Cruz. Let’s fire up those tests. Let’s make a round robin tournament out of it: Trump vs. [Nikki] Haley, and the winner faces Joe Biden… I want to see the guy who stared directly into an eclipse, I want to see the guy who can’t plead the Fifth without using his fingers, the guy who spells KFC with two E’s, take this test on television," he continued.

Ted Cruz said Donald Trump would beat Joe Biden in a cognitive test.
"Thirty percent doesn't beat 70, and so I think the rational thing for her to do is recognize Trump's gonna be the nominee, and I gotta say, some of the things she's saying about his mental cognizance are just ridiculous," he stated.

Nikki Haley doesn't believe Donald Trump can beat Joe Biden.
Cruz then suggested that anyone who runs for president should take a test prior to make sure they're mentally there.
"You wouldn't let Joe Biden handle the remote control on your television, and he's got the nuclear codes, so the left's talking point and the Democrats' talking point is, 'Well Trump's old too and he's diminished,'" he shared before adding that Trump would beat "Biden's a--" if they were to face off against one another.

As OK! previously reported, Trump was accused of being unfit for office when he confused Nancy Pelosi and Haley in a recent speech.
In response, the former president stated: “Well, I did a cognitive test recently, and I aced it."
He then claimed his slip-ups are all on purpose.

"When I refer like, for instance, oftentimes I’ll say purposely about Obama and I interchange it with Biden because I believe Obama has a lot to do with what’s happening in destroying our country. And I’ll interchange and they’ll say, oh, he said, or I’ll imitate Biden walking into a wall or not being able to find his way, and the fake news will go out and they’ll say, 'Oh, he actually had a hard time when I’m doing an imitation and everybody understands it,'" he claimed. "No, I don’t think she could pass the test that I passed. I passed my childhood test, and she does. And she’s just trying to get a little nasty because she came in third place. She wanted to come in second, and she wasn’t even that close, actually, to second. You know, I have to give that to Ron Desanctimonious."
