So have the ground rules been set yet regarding the Great Donald Trump Debate Drinking Game?

Last edited Wed Aug 5, 2015, 11:52 AM - Edit history (1)

Points need to be assigned to the following drink triggers:

*Referencing one of his golf courses
*Referencing one of his hotels
*Referencing one of his condominiums
*Referencing his self-perceived net worth
*Talking about all the overseas business he's done
*Mentioning that his book "Art of the Deal" was a bestseller
*Referring to someone who opposed him as a "loser"
*Referring to someone who opposed him as a "dummy"
*Referring to someone who opposed him as a "dummy loser"
*Claiming he can't be bought by special interests because he's already very rich
*Insulting a specific group of persons
*Walking back his insult of that group by claiming that "not all" of that group falls into that insult
*Claiming that the group he just insulted "loves" him
*Saying that he's a "great friend" to the group he just insulted
*Claiming that he doesn't have anything against that group because his golf courses/hotels/condos has employed multiple members of that group
*Engaging a personal attack against someone who's not running for president in 2016
*Saying that he doesn't have to run for president because he's already rich but he's doing it because he loves America
*Avoiding the question of whether it's hypocritical for him when he says to punish companies who engage in overseas labor when his own companies have engaged in overseas labor
*Proposing that his solution to a specific problem would be to gather the "best minds" on that problem
*Wandering off topic by referring to some conversation he had with some random rich/powerful person

Please feel free to add your own drink triggers and points. And prepare to get completely wasted.

The Trump Towers penthouse was the setting for Peter Sellers'
amazing counterculture film of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro
with Cherubino as a hockey player. That was so funny!

You can save your drinking for when one of the other nine candidates is allowed to answer a question. This won't be very often. Fox might as well call this debate the "Donald Trump LIVE!" show.

Fox wants ratings and they know the guy that's going to bring them.

But following the rules in the OP, you'd better be drinking light beer out of a Nyquil cap if you need to make it to work Friday morning. Or better yet, just drink Nyquil itself and pass out quickly and painlessly.
