Since there are already a million drinking games about tonight’s FINAL presidential debate in place, I thought I’d do something a little different based on one of my personal vices: sugar. Lord knows there’s not enough wine to get through these final three weeks as it is, so why not treat yourself to some ice cream? I restrict my dessert intake because I have deep-seated body issues, so I plan on spicing up this debate by treating myself to some mint chocolate chip.*
One spoonful each time:
-Trump lurks behind Hillary like a serial killer (yes, I realize this is not a town hall, but it could still happen. I don’t put anything past that man.)
-The camera pans to Tiffany sitting in an isolated section away from the rest of her family
-Hillary mentions her close friendship with one of the Obamas (two spoonfuls if it’s Malia or Sasha; three spoonfuls if it’s Bo or Sunny)
-Trump uses his share of time to complain that he’s not getting his fair share of time
-Trump interrupts Hillary to complain that he’s not getting enough time
-Hillary mentions Russia or Putin
-Trump forgets which Clinton he’s running against
-Trump finds some more Clinton accusers to sit in Tiffany’s spot
-Trump brings up the emails
-Hillary aggressively takes notes while Trump speaks
-Trump discusses a topic completely unrelated to the question posed
-Hillary recycles “Trumped-up, trickle down economics”
Two spoonfuls whenever:
-Hillary introduces a new catchphrase that she’s been practicing in front of the mirror since the last debate
-You miss Anderson and Martha
-Trump fights with Chris Wallace (three spoonfuls if it’s a physical, rather than verbal, altercation)
-Trump mentions someone besides Sean Hannity to whom he told his secret about not supporting the war in Iraq
Finish the carton whenever:
-A Republican withdraws support from Trump
-You donate to Hillary’s campaign (if you donate to Trump’s campaign, you don’t deserve ice cream. Give it to someone who does.)
-You register a voter in a swing state
-Trump apologizes for sexual assault
-Trump apologizes for anything
-A new assault allegation comes to light
-You find yourself liking Chris as much as Anderson and Martha
-Anyone in the same room as you still pretends to be undecided
-Lester Holt finally remembered what he was going to say from a month ago
*Just kidding. I haven’t had ice cream in like a month. Do you really think I’m sacrificing all this hard-won gym work for Trump?
