Isn't there a kiddie table debate for the "lessors" earlier?

3. And why has no one created a drinking game?

Like, take a drink whenever one of the candidates invokes religion, insults an ethnic group, or states how rich he is. No way can we endure this without alcohol.

[CTyankee]

4. If we do that, we'll all be sloppy drunk 15 minutes into the debate...

lots of DUers will "fortify" their courage to even watch the thing way earlier.

[Juicy_Bellows]

5. Yep, I got the day off.

I plan on watching with an old Scottish friend named Laphroaig.

Break out the good stuff to counter the horror my eyes will witness.

Cheers!

6. I go to bed early since I'm old but I'll see the kiddie table debate...

and the lead up to the debate and probably part of the actual debate...but I tend not to last too long in front of the TV after 9 pm...I'll see a replay on Friday and have DU to relish when I get up at 6 am...

[Juicy_Bellows]

7. Enjoy the relish!

I am sure there will be plenty!

Cheers!

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

9. Us too...

I tell folks that's why we moved to Texas. Central time rocks

[Dr Hobbitstein]

11. Rolling Stone published the drinking game

for the debate today. Have plenty of alcohol on hand for it.

8. Personally, I'm hoping for a Republican Hunger Game.

10. The first GOP debate is Thursday: Here's what you need to know

Faux newsie goodness-

So when's the debate and who's going to be on stage with Trump?

The first GOP primary debate will take place Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Fox News, is co-hosted by Facebook and will feature the top 10 leading candidates for the GOP nomination.

But political analysts will first watch for a different date and time — Tuesday at 5 p.m.

That's the cutoff by which national polls must be released to help decide which 10 candidates take the stage on Thursday.

Fox News' debate criteria, which have spurred some pushback from candidates, rely on the five most recent well-respected national polls of Fox News' choosing to select the top 10 candidates, as well as weed out the bottom seven candidates, who will lose out on the prime-time airwaves.

I'll watch until the bullshit gets so thick I can't stand it... I figure about 20 minutes.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

12. For those without cable that want to watch it

or want to circumvent Fox's ratings for the evening, my cable-loving wife (who lives in the hell I've created called "antenna&quot gave me this link.

13. I want to see social structure breakdown. I want to see a wise cracker get punched. They want

to do it to each other, and I want to see it. Will Jerry Springer and muscle be there to maintain order? Do we know which of them are parents of out-of-wedlock children? Will a DNA lab be there to run immediate parental tests?

14. I want Trump to tell Christie, "You're a moron and a dummy -- and you're fired!"

And I want Christie to punch him in the nose.

[CTyankee]

15. Personally, I would love that. Christie punching Trump...now that's funny stuff...

[madamesilverspurs]

16. Gonna tune in

just for Trump's fancy pageant talking . . .

[wheniwasincongress]

17. how long is it

[Journeyman]

18. I understand they're going to keep talking until someone says something intelligent . . .

If Insults aren't included, they could still be gabbing long after we've all voted in the 2016 General.
