It's a simple formula, really: When Jimmy Kimmel interviews Democrats, he jokes with them. When it's a Republican, he mocks and criticizes their viewpoint. Such was the case Wednesday night when Sen. Ted Cruz appeared on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

For instance, Kimmel picked at Cruz's unlikeability in the Senate, especially in light of recent jabs by Lindsey Graham or John Boehner calling him "Lucifer," but quipped he may be in their good graces once again since in Donald Trump "they found someone that they liked less than you."

When Cruz took a swipe at "the disaster that is Obamacare," Kimmel quickly interrupted in disapproval to share his feelings:

Is it really a disaster? Because it just doesn't feel like it is. I've not heard one story from a person I know that indicates that -- the word "disaster" is a strong word to use. 

The audience loved this.

Cruz objected that it's probably not a disaster for Hollywood millionaires. Of course, Kimmel was rubbed wrong by this and assured Cruz that he doesn't hang out with movie stars and rock stars all day long and that his job is "all pretend."

In Hillary Clinton's appearance last week, Kimmel involved her in a Hill-arious sketch in which he promised to be her "secret weapon" in getting her elected. He then "mansplains" all the things she is doing wrong when speaking to crowds. This was no doubt written to defend Clinton who had been taking heat for how harsh she comes across when giving speeches:

It's all fun and games when it's Hillary, but Cruz didn't get the same treatment. His fun segment was relegated to three minutes of random questions and to ask him if he used to be the lead singer of Christian rock band Stryper:

The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
