Last night’s debate was a terrible, very bad, no good mess. Hillary Clinton continued trying to make points while Donald Trump loomed behind her, dodged questions, and said some pretty nonsensical things. And then the winner turned out not to be a presidential candidate, but some guy named Ken Bone? What is Panem coming to these days?
Fortunately, even if the actual debate exhausted you, at least there were some memes that made all that pain — and the subsequent hangover, if you used the debate as a chance to play a drinking game — a little bit better. The best, of course, was the one in which people took a photo of Trump and Clinton wielding their mics at each other and turned it into an imagined duet.

Man, I’d love to see that, you might be thinking. I’d especially love to see that last one, in which the two presidential candidates — one of whom will soon be tasked with leading this country and have their finger on the doomsday button — take on a classic from Dirty Dancing.
Stop wishing! It’s real! And it’s spectacular!
Thank you, magic of the internet! Because through you all things are possible, including both free two-day shipping and probably the best video that will ever come out of this debate. (Well, at least until people start doing other songs.) (But it’s the best we have right now, and you’re lying if you say you didn’t watch this musical cringefest more than once!)
And just in case this isn’t enough, check out the ladies of RuPaul’s Drag Race (and then some) lip sync their way through the debate in a video that’s both hilarious and currently trending.
