This Is What Will Happen if Presidential Candidates Star in a Telenovela [Video]
Ever wonder what would happen if Presidential Candidates star in a telenovela? Watch Eva Longoria act out some lines in a soap opera.
Watch Longoria and Stephen Colbert in an over-the-top dramatic telenovela sketch in the video below:
Mexican telenovelas are "so over-the top, no one would ever be that catty, that bitchy with each other," Stephen Colbert said to Longoria on "The Late Show."
Longoria stars in the NBC sitcom "Telenovela" and, so, they set up the perfect preface for the sketch with her saying, "Right, except in the primaries."
"I want to remind everyone out there, we did not write anything you are about to hear," Colbert said. "These are transcripts of actual things that were said between people - adults - who want to be president of the United States."
With soft filter and telenovela music, the two then proceeded to demonstrate how a telenovela would sound and look like using the quotes from the 2016 Presidential Debate last week.
In the latest survey for the national GOP race, Ted Cruz emerges at the top ahead of Donald Trump. Cruz amassed the 28 percent vote of the Republican voters while Trump was bested by only a couple at 26 percent. Marco Rubio follows at 17 percent, John Kaisch garnered 11 percent, Ben Carson at 10 percent and Jeb Bush finished last at 4 percent.
The poll was taken after a GOP debate at Greenville moderated by John Dickerson. Trump's ratings may have been affected after he criticized former president George W. Bush for the 9/11 attacks and accused him of lying about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
"Obviously the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake," Trump said. "George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes, but that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East."
Trump's views earned the ire of the majority of the crowd which were South Carolina Republican activists to which he say were Jeb's "special interests and lobbyists."
The new ratings were different from the last survey where Trump topped the polls at 33 percent with Cruz at 20 percent.
According to Republican Bill McInturff, the conductor of the poll with Democrat Peter Hart, it's too early to tell if Cruz has gained the upperhand by the survey results.
"When you see a number this different, it means you might be right on top of a shift in the campaign," he said. "What you don't know yet is if the change is going to take place or if it is a momentary 'pause' before the numbers snap back into place."
