Official GOP Debate Drinking Game Rules
Looking at these Rolling Stone Magazine rules, I’m thinking everyone is going to be smashed within five minutes. (Unless your cocktail of choice is, like mine, is a nice cold Bud Light Chelada)
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.”

I would add any mention of Planned Parenthood to that list. It’s all the rage.
This debate has the potential to go beyond all previous levels of crazy. Everyone on that stage tonight will be looking to make a name for themselves, to have a “moment” – which, imo, ups the ante to dizzying heights.
I’m thinking there will be a question and extended discussion on Trump’s comments on McCain. The press is still pissed about that, way more than the general public or even the Republican public. That topic will probably be the vehicle for all the candidates to spend their three minutes calling Trump an asshole and expressing their love for the troops, and will suck any remaining oxygen out of the debate.
I wonder if they will ask: Why doesn’t the Republican party go after people who hire illegals? Why did the Republican party filibuster a bill to remove tax incentives for outsourcing? Why does the Republican party attack science, education and the educated..
Good questions, but I don’t wonder about Fox News asking them. I’m thinking….
How terrible was Benghazi to America’s long term security?
Assuming, for the sake of argument, Obama doesn’t hate America, why did he make an agreement with Iran?
As President will you prosecute Secretary Clinton for using her personal email?
Robert Reich nails it. Especially the first two.
