DEBATE PREVIEW

Rubio: "I used to hate Trump, but now I kind of feel a little bit sorry for him knowing what he went through to get to that point. And he's probably the most fascinating character in the whole party, because he started out as this individual with a lot of talent and promise, then something went wrong, something went really bad, he went dark, he went nasty."

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Even better than the first!

Love the Darth Trump reference, too.

 

[Retro]

Holy shit, these debate OTs have been one of the best parts of GAF lately. Love the soundtrack for this one too.

 

[Suikoguy]

Moisture Farmer... wow.

 

[PantherLotus]

Everyone is going to think Cruz is some great debater. He's not and he's going to creep everyone the fuck out yet again. He's 100% radioactive.

 

[danm999]

Terrific OT.

 

[CmdrShepard]

Absolutely brillant OP. Won't be able to watch but definitely looking forward to the reactions on GAF as always

 

[User 85168]

10/10

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Wait, Rubio's Star Wars fandom extended to Darth Vader and the Death Star, and he called Luke "that guy?" Is that a satirical article?

 

[Retromelon]

This is the end, carson. Deliver me from the clutches of the wily bounty hunter makai

 

[Bubblicious]

Reading that OP is probably more interesting than watching the Democratic Debates. The Republican debates will probably remain entertaining though as long as Trump Vader doesn't become one with the Force.

 

[Bronx-Man]

The absolute best debate ot. Well done.

 

[Bowdz]

LMAO, fucking brilliant! I lost it at the Pataki and Gilmore descriptions.

 

[Raxus]

Man, I dunno how you guys keep coming up with these OT's or if it is some sort of perfect storm to get this material but bravo.

 

[Iolo]

Incredible OT. Ron shot first indeed.

 

[Brakke]

y'all did my boy lando wrong

 

[JeffZero]

This is the most amazing thing in the heat-life of the ever.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Wait, Rubio's Star Wars fandom extended to Darth Vader and the Death Star, and he called Luke "that guy?" Is that a satirical article?

No, it's real: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/marco-rubio-feels-bit-darth-vader/story?id=34974389

I had to look it up myself because I thought it was fake too.

 

[Dan]

Did the RNC demand that Anderson Cooper not participate in any of their CNN debates?

 

[BPoole]

Star Wars really is in everything

 

[Maengun1]

that's an amazing OP, damn

 

[Makai]

Man, I dunno how you guys keep coming up with these OT's or if it is some sort of perfect storm to get this material but bravo.

I like making these, but some people in PoliGAF want to take over. Lobby B-Dubs if you want me to make more.

 

[cirrhosis]

I never intended to watch this debate but gosh darnit, OP, your OT has convinced me.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Maybe after this debate some of these assholes will finally drop out.

 

[MuggerMD]

 

[Hexa]

@OP:

This takes place right after finals for me so perfect timing for me. Considering everything that's happened since the last debate, this one is going to be glorious. Trump is going to have to bring the fire.

 

[Dr. Benton Quest]

This is the best OP I've ever seen on GAF.

That fucking Darth Vader wearing a hat pic. Dead.

 

[User1608]

Lmao

 

[JeffZero]

I seriously can't get over how good this is.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Does this mean I don't have to do a Star Wars themed OT for the Democratic debate Saturday?

 

[LumpOfCole]

This OT has the spirit of the best YTMNDs that ever existed.

 

[makingmusic476]

That gif. :lol :lol

 

[Premium Quality]

Great OP. Can't wait for the circus show to continue.

 

[kess]

Did the RNC demand that Anderson Cooper not participate in any of their CNN debates?

Anderson Cooper is Galactic High Commissioner Ferris

 

[dankir]

Why are there still so many republican nominees? How have only 3 of these jerks dropped out at this point?

 

[Roc]

Damn, in those pictures young Hamill and Rubio do look a lot alike. And I like the Trump comparison.

 

[Suikoguy]

I never intended to watch this debate but gosh darnit, OP, your OT has convinced me.

Still not worth watching, especially with 20 candidates on stage.

 

[Sickboy007]

Wow, even freaking Lawerence Lessig is perfect.

 

[Basileus777]

Perfect. Best debate OT yet.

 

[Raiku]

Ready and waiting

 

[LowParry]

Wait, Carson's still a thing? I haven't heard about him in a while.

 

[cirrhosis]

Still not worth watching, especially with 20 candidates on stage.

well true - I'll have to get some drinks prepped in order to make it through the other side of the debate

 

[injurai]

Incredible OP.

 

[Stinkles]

I want to read hours of accounts of what a wretched shitheel Cruz was when he was a kid.

 

[Afrodium]

A+ OT. Simply phenomenal

 

[ivysaur12]

Dead at moisture farmer.

 

[Black Republican]

Does this mean I don't have to do a Star Wars themed OT for the Democratic debate Saturday?

Theres a dem debate?

 

[najehe]

Amazing OP.

Honestly at this point, why even have more than 5 candidates in the main debate? Is it really worth bringing in the stragglers? It is not like they are saying the crazy shit Cruz and Trump are.

 

[Dixon's Jet]

Another really stupid debate is coming, hooray.

 

[leroidys]

Republican debate and Smash Bros. Direct on the same day. What a world.
