What is the craziest thing a Republican candidate will say / do at tonight's debate? [View all]

While we all thrash around debating the subtleties of which of our Democratic candidates has the better grasp of foreign policy, economic reform or civil rights, the still-vast Republican field is apparently competing to see who can say something crazy enough to be noticed in this crowd.

Which of our angry, loopy, blustering Republican opponents will say or do the most off-the-wall thing tonight?

Ben Carson will sleepily declare that Hitler was the worst thing to happen to slavery since Hitler, and that he once ate an entire kindergarten class in his wilder days.

Carly Fiorina will reveal that the re-animated YouTube fetus kept alive to "harvest its brain" was in fact her, and she's still looking for her lost cerebrum.
1 (33%)
Donald Trump will admit he's been kidding us all along, and just wanted to sell NBC a new show called "Presidential Apprentice." He will then "fire" all the other candidates and have them all beaten and dragged off stage while he chants "U-S-A!" to himself.

Rand Paul and Chris Christie will get tired of waiting to be mentioned, and will get in a fistfight just to pass the time. Christie will be the aggressor, but will tire quickly, and Paul will tie him up and throw him in a river.

Jeb Bush will break down and shout that HE was supposed to be the next President Bush, but his brother has ruined it by getting there first and embarrassing the family, just like he always does.
0 (0%)
Marco Rubio will leave halfway through, explaining that the debate, like his Senate job, doesn't really require his presence. He will steal everyone's water bottles on the way out.
