Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders get superhero treatment on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

It”s hard to figure out what there”s more of these days – election coverage or Captain America: Civil War commercials. Well, Jimmy Kimmel decided the two have more in common than you might think and combined them in a movie trailer on his late night show.

Kimmel explained his logic, “Both of them feature former friends who are now enemies, they both feature powerful men and women who are also cartoon characters.”

The video opens with a deep-voiced narrator saying, “This summer, an all-American idealist faces off against a diabolical billionaire.” We”re then greeted with Bernie Sanders in a Captain America uniform (I”ll let that image settle in for a moment) before Donald Trump emerges from behind the fabled Iron Man mask.

“The American dream is dead,” Trump says.

The two argue back and forth before Hillary Clinton makes her presence felt as the Scarlet Witch. Strangely there”s no appearance from Ted Cruz but there is one from Ben Carson.

Check out the video.
