Join Jezebel and Gawker tonight at around 9 p.m. for a live blog unlike any you’ve experienced. Like Jeb Bush voluntarily chose which parent he likes better, we, too, will have to make a choice: Will we watch the Fox News/Google debate in Des Moines, Iowa, featuring our parental figures Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich, and Rand Paul? Or will we sit through Donald Trump’s counter-debate rally, also kicking off at 9 p.m.? Regardless of which you choose, it will undoubtedly leave you drunk and crying in your bathtub, like any parent would.
