The 10th Debate Drinking Game, 2/25/20

Everyone ready for tonight's debate?

CBS is hosting the shindig, with moderators Norah O'Donnell and Gayle King, Face the Nation's Margaret Brennan, CBS News chief Washington guy Major Garrett, and Bill Whitaker of 60 Minutes making up the panel.

The candidates, in left to right order on the stage (from your viewpoint, not theirs), are: Bloomy, Mayor Pete, Elizabeth, Bernie Sanders (That Guy from Vermont, or TGFV), Papa Joe, Amy, and Tom Steyer, The Other Billionaire (TOB).

I'm trying to stay away from the really obvious drinking game words, of which there many: Medicare for All, billionaires, 1%, Super Tuesday, socialism, African-Americans, coronavirus/COVID-19, frontrunner, and the like.

Here are the keywords I'm going with tonight:

• Castro, Cuba, Fidel, communism
• Jim Clyburn 
• Palmetto (because someone will have to say it)
• coalition 
• Russia, bots 
• convention, contested, superdelegates
• HBCU, HBCUs
• firewall
• Israel, peace, settlements
• turnout
• inheritance tax
• Green New Deal 
• Operation Chaos
• establishment (all types of it)
• vice president
• expectations

Obviously, I'm hoping for an informative couple of hours, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

And the drinking game? I have no idea how that'll turn out, either. With any luck, I'll have fun, but not a Taco Bell-worth hangover tomorrow. 

Good luck to the candidates, and to you with your keywords.
