This, of course, is right after the terrified Republican National
Committee members in white lab coats, trapped behind glass with their
“creation,” are screaming for help as their nightmare rips them to
shreds.

Great metaphor on Kimmel’s part.

Oh, metaphor. Right, this is rec.boats. Sorry. Explanation:

"A metaphor is a figure of speech that identifies something as being the
same as some unrelated thing for rhetorical effect, thus highlighting
the similarities between the two."

Blaming the RNC for Trump is like blaming Patty Hearst for being
kidnapped.
The scary thing is that they are likely to join the gang after a while
.... like Patty.
We still have the best part of a year to shake this out.
Trump probably beats Sanders but if it gets to that, screw REM, E.O.W.
will be the theme song of the 21st century
