Related: About this forumSurreal predictions for tonight's debate
So, what are everyone's surreal predictions for tonight's debate? Here are a few of mine:
- Candidates begin the debate by engaging in a spirited jab-off / wag-off and accidentally touch fingers. Audience gasps.
- Bill Clinton rushes the podium and answers one of Bernie's questions for him using a bullhorn. Taylor Swift boots him off stage.
- When questioned about the transcripts, Hillary breaks into a beautiful rendition of This Land is Your Land and everyone forgets what they were doing. Bernie can't help himself and claps along.
- Camera pans to Jane Sanders in the audience, on her phone. A giant TurboTax icon is clearly visible on the screen, followed by an incoming text message from Elizabeth Warren.
- Hillary declares that Vermont, having more cows than people, has the largest per-capita methane gas production in the US, and lays the blame squarely on Bernie. Bernie attempts to respond but only burps come out.
- A parakeet lands on Hillary's podium and repeats everything she says, but in Sanders' voice and with the exact opposite meaning.
- Camera pans to Ted Cruz in the audience making private-time gestures and laughing.
- As the debate concludes, DWS quickly jumps on stage and tries to lift both candidates' hands in the air with hers in an impromptu show of party unity. Hillary and Bernie both give her the old "Obama limp hand".

Sing along if you'd like:
We will touch our feet, yes,
Yes, for all we're worth,
And we will love each other, yes,
Yes, like we love our Mother Earth.

(11,362 posts)5. Are you talking to me?
The entire audience will float up to ceiling, turn into confetti, fall back down, and coalesce into a single, oversized figure of a person. I haven't figured out what person yet.
