The Republican Debate Drinking Game

(You must be of legal drinking age to play, drink responsibly, etc, etc…)

Debates are an important, time-honored part of the election process, but let’s face it, last time around the Republican debates were at times less than entertaining.  This year’s debates promise to be better, especially what with “The Don” and all.  If though you still feel they will need a little something extra to make them bearable or a little more interesting, making a game of it may be just the thing.  Or, it’s just another excuse for a party.

The rules are simple, take a drink of your favorite adult beverage whenever you hear one of the candidates utter one of their key words or phrases, or whenever a specified action occurs.

Donald Trump: “Tremendous” “Fabulous”

Jeb Bush:  Any mention of any of his family members who are former presidents.

Rand Paul:  “Constitution” or “Constitutional”

Ted Cruz:  “Washington cartel”

Mike Huckabee: “Clinton machine”

Any candidate:  Says something a foreign language

Any candidate:  Takes a drink of water (we assume it’s water)

The audience:  1 drink for every separate outburst or incident, (take another drink if Chris Christie shuts them down)

The moderator:  Reminds the audience to hold their applause, cheers, etc. until the end

Enjoy the debates!
