If you’re watching the debate tonight, you might find yourself needing a drink (or several). We’ve got you covered with our GOP presidential primary debate drinking game:
Drink, if . . .
- Ron DeSantis says, “At the end of the day” (one sip, fearing early-onset overconsumption)
- A question mentions Trump but the answer doesn’t
- Vivek Ramaswamy claims journalists took his conspiracy-theory comments out of context
- DeSantis calls Ramaswamy “Fake Vivek” or “Vivek the Fake”
- Any candidate mentions Joe Biden’s mental acuity (just a sip, otherwise, like Biden, you’ll have trouble remembering where you are)
- Doug Burgum pulls a Paul Pierce and runs onto the debate stage after suffering a leg injury
- Nikki Haley criticizes Trump and then defends him against the same attack ten minutes later
- DeSantis uses the phrase “territorial dispute” — or “mind virus”
- Ramaswamy stops the debate to point out federal agents in the crowd
- Chris Christie squares up to the camera and says, “I want to talk to the folks at home for a second . . .”
- Mike Pence says “lodestar”
- Burgum offers the audience money in exchange for their votes
- Ramaswamy offers the audience more money immediately after
- Ramaswamy claims Elvis is still alive and living in Cuba with Tupac
- Halfway through the debate, Francis Suarez can be heard banging on the arena doors
- Tim Scott goes after DeSantis on Florida’s curriculum
- Kari Lake breaks into the spin room
- The arena lights go out, the Undertaker’s music starts playing, and Trump materializes on the stage (grab the nearest handle and chug)
Good luck!
