Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. 1 water after every drink. Ibuprofen right before you go to bed. Do all this and you will never have a hangover.

To keep the debate on schedule, the Fox team was also discussing a possible alternative to the usual gentle ding sound that signals that a candidate’s time has expired: the actual shot clock buzzer used during Cleveland Cavaliers basketball games, which are played at the same arena.

“You could make it about synergy in that arena: Use the very same buzzer that LeBron James hears on the court when the shot clock runs out,” said Mr. Baier, who had come up with the idea over dinner Tuesday night at a local bistro. (“I was inspired,” he said with a smile, “by a beer.”)

"Patel"? Fuck you.

They're going to get loving shot clock violation buzzered. Incredible.

And Donald Trump is going to destroy this thing. He can say anything he wants, and the rest of them have to either agree with him or tiptoe around him for fear of alienating 25% of the Republican block. "Standing up to him" isn't going to do poo poo but backfire, either.

I can't wait.

Gonna need some serious snack suggestions to go along with this showcase showdown. I've got popcorn, but I'm seriously tempted to throw some meatballs into a crockpot or pickup some nachos. What's the best debate watching food at 9PM?

The UFC gameday threads list the "MMA Snack Rating" of the event. For this first debate, I think a crock pot full of bland meatballs (and one really huge one) is the most appropos choice. For a drink, anything owned offshore by InBev, having had its original plant closed down and restarted in an At-will state. So, like, Rolling Rock.

Can liberals please, please, please stop concern trolling the way the debate selection was handled? I totally understand that it is basically arbitrarly punishing candidates and theoretically punishing candidates for their lack of media savvy or a chance to resonate with uninformed voters but there is no cream here to rise to the top.

I get it, as liberals we are supposed to be aggrieved that the one female candidate is being locked out of the debate basically arbitrarly but come on, loving Carly Fiorina? Let's be honest, the only reason we are disappointed that people are being locked out is not them getting in is inform primary voters more, it just makes the whole thing more ridiculous.

as a radical republican i am aggrieved that the entire arena isn't gassed.

If the fact that there is a non-zero chance of Donald freaking Trump being president of the united states isn't enough justification to get wrecked then I don't know what is.
