Awesome, thanks. I’ve been waiting for this…enjoying the Star Wars BLR videos in the meantime. (Luke to Yoda: “You’re kinda pitchy…”)

Okay, that was hilarious BUT…

[The bit that starts at 4:47](https://youtu.be/WLYHu0AG8GI?t=4m47s) has the candidates saying what they really think of each other. Keep in mind that this was published 6 October, so the day before the Access Hollywood tape hit. I’ve transcribed what they have Mr. Trump saying:

:eek:

Yeah, I felt that was prescient as well.

I like that it was recast as part of some bizarre game show. Brilliant!

Yeah, for past debates (this year’s primaries, and possibly earlier), the BLR folks went to the game show thing just at the end, for the last few minutes. I recall a very funny Bernie Sanders game show style bit.

It left me hoping that someday, like before President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is sworn in, we let a Japanese game show producer do the US Presidential Debates. Ratings would soar!
