GOP Debate Drinking Game

Drink THE FIRST TIME:

1. Donald Trump mentions his wealth, or how smart he is.
2. A candidate mentions Benghazi
3. A candidate says, "This president..."
4. A candidate whines about not getting called on enough.
5. Someone promises to "take America back."
6. Trump interrupts someone by saying, "Excuse me, let me answer that…"
7. Anyone mentions Hitler, Nazis or Neville Chamberlain. Includes related imagery, e.g. "ovens."
8. The crowd cheers a racist/bigoted statement by a candidate.
9. A candidate mentions his poor/hardscrabble upbringing, or a parent who "worked every day of his life."
10. A candidate talks about "stopping Hillary Clinton."
11. Anyone warns the U.S. is becoming Greece.
12. Trump refers to himself in the third person.
13. Anyone invokes St. Ronald Reagan.

Drink EVERY time a candidate:

14. Claims a positive relationship with a minority. Also known as the, "Some of my best friends are…" rule.
15. Tries to speak Spanish
16. Tries to warm up to the Ohio crowd with an awkward LeBron shout-out.

Drink EVERY TIME you hear the word(s):

17. "I'm not a scientist."
18. "You can keep your doctor."
19. "ACORN."
20. "The war on Christians."
21. "Thug."
22. "Right here in Ohio."
23. "Culture of dependency."

TAKE A SHOT OF JAGER AT ANY MENTION OF:

24. "Kenya."
25. "All Lives Matter."
 
Would love it if Trump simply gets bored listening to the other nine and walks off stage muttering, "I'm done listening to these dummies."

Wouldn't hurt him in the least in the polling.
 
Have to say Ben Carson has done pretty well. Speaks his mind, funny, obviously intelligent
 
I love how Trump (predictably) gets nothing but bait questions and all the others get nothing but policy and position questions. Just waiting for Trump to call to the Megan chick "blondie" or something juicy.
 
Carson, Kasich and Rubio were pretty clearly the most effective in this debate. FWIW. Which ain't much. Though Rubio could re-emerge as a top contender.

Did anyone mention our dying economy last night? Obama has thrown this country in a tailspin. Only 215k jobs added last month!

lowest labor participation rate in 38 years, yikes.

So, work force is low, THEN a humongous baby boom generation (with crazy ideas like civil rights and women's equality in the workplace) fully populates the workforce. And then they retire. Does that make sense?

Or is it just easier to redirect attention to some other anecdote like a single guy in West Topeka (insert fake name) who has been unable to find a job for 5 years?
 
I prefer to just lob bombs, but I don't like to think of them on my own. Ever since Robert Novak passed away I've had a hard time finding an intelligent, objective source for my talking points. Now this Southern Belle Debbie Wasserman Schultz has risen to prominence and I once again have a trustworthy source for a non partisan take on things without having to do any reading.
 
Donald Trump is a world class heel. His performance last night would have made Rowdy Roddy Piper proud.
 
TRUMP 3:16

That 'debate' was a debacle. Horrible format and the moderators from Fox were pathetic. Kelly was a bully. If they wanted an actual debate, they would have provided 10+ minutes for each topic and allowed each candidate an opportunity to weigh in with personal thoughts on the issue. Also 30 seconds for closing remarks was a joke. Loved Trump's response to Wallace about his companies' bankruptcies.
 
Sportsbook.com has the Republicans at +130 to take the White House.

Hard to beat that offer.
 
Don't ever bet at Sportsbook.ag. Ever.

Ever.

They're the one book that literally does not pay. Lately anyway. Going down in flames.

I wish all these politicians would stop talking about "undoing" all the crap from Obama's administration and talk about "doing" something to be productive. Spending billions of dollars going back and forth fighting the same issues is so dumb, could've probably fully funded obamacare with the amount of effort the GOP has put in to stopping it.

How exactly are we making America great again? Last time I checked when Obama came into office we were losing like 150k jobs/month and things were worse than ever.

Watch out for Kasich. Carson was great talking about the democrats feeding on the misinformed, next up Hillary v the admitted Socialist that should be great for the dems
 
It's looking more and more plausible at this point that Donald Trump is a stalking horse for the democratic party.
