‘Donald Trump’ and ‘Ben Carson’ react to the Democratic debate on ‘Tonight’

What did Donald Trump and Ben Carson think of Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primary debate?

On Wednesday’s “Tonight Show,� the Republican front-runners shared their reactions over the phone -- OK, so it was actually Jimmy Fallon and David Alan Grier doing their best Trump and Carson impressions.

Naturally, Fallon-as-Trump thought the night was “huuuugely boring,� and tossed out insults nearly as enthusiastically as his real-life inspiration. Lincoln Chafee looked like a “turtle that shops at Men’s Warehouse� while Hillary Rodham Clinton “threw more shade than Chris Christie at the beach.�

He even attacked Carson for stealing his campaign strategy: “You keep making outrageous comments every day, saying crazy things, yet you’re going up in the polls.�

In contrast, Grier-as-Carson found the debate exhilarating -- not that you could tell from his sleepy demeanor. Grier played up Carson’s low-energy style, chugging Nyquil and joking that he gets “four hours of sleep per hour.�

Watch to find out which candidate the fake Trump called “the fit old guy from the Cialis� commercial, and which candidate the fake Carson mistook for an “old, angry Muppet� -- though, you, can probably guess without watching.
