During the Bull & Bear’s viewing party for the third presidential debate, I bothered viewers at Gerts with two questions:
- “What was your favorite election moment?”, and
- “Would you rather go to ‘Tokyo Thursdays’, or witness Donald Trump’s Presidency ?”
Here’s how people responded:
Jackie, Political Science, U2
Favorite memory: “Mike Pence trying and failing to substantiate Trump’s claims.”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Tokyo Thursday. At least there, I have control over the walls I put up.”
Safi, Economics, U3
Favorite memory: “When Trump clinched the nomination.”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Donald Trump. Tokyo Thursday sucks… I’m not in first year.”
Antoine, Economics & History, U3
Favorite memory: “When Bernie Sanders won Ohio. I remember thinking, ‘it’s gonna happen!!’ But alas, here I am drinking a beer at Gerts.”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “I actually live right behind Tokyo Thursday, so I’m basically there every Thursday, I just have to open the window.”
Justin, Economics, U3
Favorite memory: “Opening speech of Trump’s campaign… you know what I’m talking about.”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Neither. Both are equally detestable.”
Nicholas, Web Development, from Belgium
Favorite memory: “The second debate, particularly the line: ‘Because you’d be in jail.’”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Tokyo Thursday. One bad evening versus four horrible years.”
Hattie, Political Science & Russian, U3
Favorite memory: “When Trump said, ‘No one has more respect for women than me.’”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Tokyo Thursday — fantastic club, don’t need to be drunk to go there.”
Usamah, Graduate Student in Engineering
Favorite memory: “The fact that 11 other republicans couldn’t beat this imbecile. How embarrassing.”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Tokyo Thursday, because at least I would still be able to enter the US.”
Camille, Sociology, U2
Favorite memory: “Every time Trump said ‘WRONG.’”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Donald Trump.”
Julia, Math & Physics (“I think”)
Favorite memory: “Back when Trump was just a joke.”

Favorite memory: “Anything involving Jeb Bush”
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “I don’t see how the two are mutually exclusive.”
Sabine, Political Science, U4
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Tokyo Thursday. Humanity is at stake.”
Fair, although humanity is also arguably at stake with Tokyo Thursday.
Thomas, Kinesiology, U2
Tokyo Thursdays or a Trump Presidency?: “Why not both??”

Responded to both my questions with this mantra: “Tokyo Thursday every day.”

Favorite memory:
Could not identify a specific moment, but had this to say: “Trump is a fighter, a barroom brawler. He’s going against the odds by fighting the Clintons. No heavy-weight fighter compares to Donald Trump.”
