The 2016 GOP Presidential Debate Drinking Game! August 3, 2015Matt Terzi Politics
The first GOP presidential debate is happening this Thursday on Fox News, with the top 10 Republican candidates duking it out on stage. But while watching the Republicans pile out of a clown car and attempt to out-crazy each other might be entertaining enough on its own for some people, others might require a bit of liquid motivation to get through the ordeal in one sitting. Well, don’t worry folks: your friends at Reverb Press are on the clock and here to help get you through your evening, with our official 2016 GOP presidential debate drinking game!
