The first Democratic Party primary season debates will be held this week. Because there are two debates, it will require an unusual set of official Rolling Stone drinking game rules, listed below.
We thought 17 candidates was a lot last time. Now it’s 23. Or is it 24? By 2024 running for president will be like a game of Fortnite – a Battle Royale of 100 rifle-toting pols in banana suits. That might even work better for television than the arrangement this week, with debates on consecutive nights that will force Rolling Stone readers to...

With four more candidates dropping out of the presidential race since we last spoke, it was well past time for another segment of The Late Show's "Hungry for Power Games," where a fantastically bewigged and be-eyebrowed Stephen Colbert, as Julius Flickerman, bids farewell to The Fallen. After a brief shout-out to his home state of South Carolina, where all the political action is happening this week, Colbert got into character and even added something new: his co-host, a dead weasel named Caligula. Together, they sent off Rick Santorum (District: Deja Who?), Chris Christie (District: Bridge), Carly Fiorina (District: Paper Jam), and, to Colbert's great dismay, perennial loser Jim Gilmore (District: 12 Votes).

Stephen Colbert hosted another edition of The Hungry for Power Games last night on The Late Show, paying tribute to the fallen Republican candidates who dropped out after the New Hampshire primary, while also introducing a new co-host, Caligula, who, quite frankly, stole the whole show. However, in between the many moments where Caligula shined, Colbert was able to poke fun at the departing candidates in some truly wonderful ways. First up was Rick Santorum, who Colbert called “a Sunday School teacher that assigns homework.” The Late Show host mentioned how Santorum had decided to withdraw from the race back on February 3,

Stephen Colbert bid farewell to several 2016 presidential tributes felled by the Iowa caucuses on the latest installment of The Late Show's riotous Hunger Games send-up, "Hungry for Power Games."
First up, Republican candidate Rand Paul, whose early campaign gimmicks included a series of viral videos in which he burned and shredded the United States tax code. Taking a page from Paul's "book of heavy-handed metaphors," Colbert dropped a portrait of the Kentucky senator in a toaster and cackled, "Goodbye Rand, you're toast!" But when the picture popped back up unscathed,...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won the Iowa Republican caucuses Monday night. Party officials said more than 180,000 caucus-goers - a new record - showed up to cast their vote by secret ballot. With all of the state's 1,681 precincts reporting, Cruz won 28 percent of the vote, Donald Trump took 24 percent, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came in third with 23 percent. Cruz addressed his supporters about an hour after CNN announced his victory. "Let me first of all say, to God be the glory," he began. "Tonight is a victory for the grassroots. Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across Iowa and all across this great nation.

Ted Cruz won the Iowa Republican caucuses Monday night. Cruz won 28 percent of the vote, Donald Trump took 24 percent, and Marco Rubio came in third with 23 percent. As the votes from around Iowa rolled in and Trump's tally fell behind, the normally hyper-active Twitter account of @RealDonaldTrump fell uncharacteristically silent for more than five hours. The other candidates - Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Jeb Bush and Rick Santorum - received a collective 25 percent of the vote. Even before Cruz's victory speech, the Iowa vote was already thinning the crowded Republican herd.

Welcome to the TheWrap’s live blog for tonight’s Fox News Gop debate’s undercard event. The early debate, often nicknamed the “Happy Hour” debate, will feature Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina and Jim Gilmore. Did you forget there’s a Republican candidate named Jim Gilmore? We understand. This is probably the last “Happy Hour” debate of this presidential campaign, since some candidates are expected to drop out if they underperform in the Iowa caucuses. Tonight’s participants received a minimum of 1 percent support in at least one recent national poll without qualifying for the primetime debate. If early debates are your thing,...

NBC has reached agreements with four Republican presidential candidates demanding free airtime to match the 12 minutes given to Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” a person with inside knowledge of the negotiations told TheWrap Monday. As reported earlier, John Kasich, Mike Huckabee, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore filed requests with NBC stations last week following Trump’s “SNL'” hosting gig on Nov. 7. The network has now reached agreements with four of those candidates, but is still in talks with the Pataki campaign. “We’re grateful to NBC for providing us additional opportunities to tell the people of New Hampshire,...

Donald Trump’s “Hotline Bling” dance still reverberates across the NBC landscape. Execs at NBC television stations are in a spectrum of reaction that runs from “lying low” to “fetal position,” depending on which station, while NBC network execs negotiate “me too” requests made other Gop hopefuls after Trump’s controversial Saturday Night Live appearance. Within the prescribed seven-day window, Lindsey Graham, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki and John Kasich all…...

Start with the title: Clown Car! may sound like the movie someone will inevitably make about the 2016 presidential campaign, but how about evoking those great Seventies wacky-journey films like Death Race 2000, Vanishing Point or Smokey and the Bandit?
When I raised the question on Twitter, suggestions included All the President's Wanna-Bes, Every Which Way But Left, Cannonball Rug, A Kochwork Orange and the subtly appropriate Hair.
All excellent ideas, and we may have to put the movie name to a separate vote. Right now, though, the more pressing question is...
