The GOP debate is tonight.
Good morning. Here's what you need to know for Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2015:
Tonight is the third GOP debate so, in order to uphold our duty to readers attending Playboy’s No. 1 party school, we've been hard at work creating a drinking game for you to follow along with.
If you're a regular Post Haste reader, you might remember the drinking game we put together earlier this month for the Democratic debate. Similar rules apply here.
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio have both made strides in the polls, meaning they are likely to be major targets during the debate. If any candidate launches a subtle (or not-so-subtle) attack on either, take a drink.
If Kasich mentions being the son of a mailman, medicaid expansion, or taking Ohio "from an $8 billion hole to a $2 billion surplus," drink.
Any time former Gov. Jeb Bush refers to himself as "Veto" Corleone, drink.
If a candidate awkwardly high-fives, fist-bumps, sidearm hugs, or shakes hands with another candidate in the middle of the debate, drink.
Every time Sen. Ted Cruz stares directly into the camera, drink.
-
Every time Rubio dabs sweat from his forehead or makes a water bottle joke, drink.
