Pre-debate Prep from Political Survivor

Here’s a quickie to help you prepare for the Republican debate on Thursday August 9. In 2012, my wife and I noticed certain phrases being repeated and decided to make a list. That list follows. You shouldn’t consider it a debate drinking game—just drink and enjoy the verbal roller derby.

Consider this list a stimulus for you to begin collecting phrases for the 2016 race. Trump already has a few: “Huge!” “Loser!” “I’m very rich!” …and so on.

  • The 47%
  • “Binders full of women”
  • Bitter Politics of Envy
  • Casino Capitalism
  • Checkbook Politics
  • Class Warfare
  • Crony Capitalism
  • Dark Money
  • Dog Whistle Politics
  • Etch-a-Sketch® Candidate
  • European Socialism
  • Food Stamp President
  • Forward
  • Frat Boy Conservative
  • “It’s what God intended”
  • Legitimate Rape

  • Restore Our Future
  • Retail Politics
  • RINO
  • Romnesia
  • Self-deportation
  • Values Voters

But wait–there IS a drinking game. Stock up and make extra ice!
