From cartoonist Clay Jones about ‘Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Debate Terms,’ Republican ‘gotcha’ questions, Donald Trump’s climate control, and Bugs Bunny
The Republicans have submitted debate demands to the networks. These include:
- No “gotcha” questions. Basically any question a candidate can’t answer—like how their math doesn’t add up—is a gotcha question.
- Nobody can bring props, which really disappoints me. I was really hoping to see Ted Cruz make balloon animals.
- They want a ten-minute break. Apparently none of the candidates has a strong bladder. They’re not Hillary Clinton who can be grilled for 11 hours.
- Each candidate will get a 30-second opening statement, which was negotiated down from Ben Carson’s plan of 30-minute opening statements.
- No lightning rounds, which is sad because I was hoping candidates would get struck by lightning for each fib.
- The temperature has to be kept at 67 degrees. I think this was a Rubio demand since they won’t let him bring a cooler on stage.
Donald Trump has said screw the Republican Party’s negotiations, and he’ll negotiate separately. Does that mean the room will be like a fancy car’s air system where the area over Trump’s podium will be kept at a different temperature? Will Trump negotiate a lifeline?
I think I drew the candidates in bikinis a couple of months ago. I can’t remember when or what point I was making (I just looked it up. I drew them as transgenders, and it was published June 2). I usually can’t remember what I drew yesterday. However, I do remember that yesterday I drew soldiers in women’s heels. I don’t know why I like drawing guys in drag. I’m not right. I’m going to blame it on watching too many Bugs Bunny cartoons as a kid. I also like the idea that somewhere soon, someone will gag on their Cheerios while reading their morning paper. I also get small pleasure when someone informs me I made them spit coffee on their keyboard.
You read these cartoons at your own risk. You know how warped my mind is.
