Joined by fellow GOP candidates Marco Rubio, Scott Walker and Rand Paul, presidential hopeful (and national enigma) Donald Trump will visit Ames, Iowa this Saturday to tailgate before the Iowa-Iowa State football game.

Just imagine: hordes of drunken, near-rabid football fans descending upon Ames for one of the most bitter in-state rivalries in the country, only to be joined by a car-load of conservative politicians faced with the impossibly awkward task of cheering on both teams. It’s going to be a shit show.

The tailgate party, hosted by the Republican Party of Iowa, will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lot S-7 near Jack Trice Stadium. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul will appear at noon, followed by Rubio at 1 p.m., Walker at 1:30 p.m. and Trump at 2:15 p.m.

Kickoff at Jack Trice Stadium is set for 3:45 p.m.
