ANOTHER ROAD IN CONNECTICUT — First, as a general update (mostly so Carter's mom knows we're safe — hi mom!), we're cruising through Connecticut. The music is mellow, as are we.

But enough with the calm stuff. Time to get rowdy, or at least think about getting rowdy. These candidates are bombastic enough sober, but with whom would we want to drink?

Carter Coudriet, Digital Director: "It's easy to say somebody already polarizing enough like Trump or Bern, but I would rather see someone like Ben Carson — calm, conservative, measured — go wild. I would be interested in seeing what other crazy stuff the man could come up with."

Ilana Wurman, Design Editor: "Depends on what kind of night I want to have. If I want to talk to someone about anything besides politics, probably Kasich. But also it'd be funny to see Hillary get extremely drunk and acting not like a robot for once."

Luis Ferre Sadurni, Politics Beat Reporter: "I would challenge Chris Christie's alcohol tolerance which, considering his absurd body fat percentage, I expect to be rather impressive. Some Wednesday night fishbowls at Blarney's should do the trick."

Alex Fisher, Senior Photographer: "I'd give a kidney to do a Jägerbomb with Trump. On another note, I dream of organizing a boat race between the Trump and Bush clans."

Dan Spinelli, City News Editor: "Wild card pick here but I'll go with Florida's golden son, Marco Rubio. We can "dispel some myths" about Barack Obama knowing what he's doing. By the end of the night, Marco won't remember that twenty-five second speech." 

Colin Henderson, President: "Gotta go with Hillary. First of all, I'd like to see what she's like when she's not so uptight. Second of all, what's better than having a drink with Barack Obama or Bill Clinton? Having a drink with someone who can dish out dirty secrets about them."
