Going undercover this weekend...

My wife and I will be attending the Iowa Republican "Growth & Opportunity Party" (GOP; get it?) in Des Moines. So far, everyone's scheduled to attend except Trump, Kasich, Carson and...George Pataki (couldn't afford a bus ticket?). Should be like the old Straw Poll but without the voting. We meet the basic criteria (white / over 50) so we should blend right in.

well — I hope your acting skills can work trying to not laugh or cry amongst the GOP.

Bring back details.
