The problem with the onion now is this headline is absolutely expected, at least in a past tense. Maybe they wouldn't plan to have that debate, but I can imagine it happening during a debate.

Yep. It's why I don't watch as much late night comedy anymore. They are trying to make fun of things that are so ridiculous already that even the onion sounds plausible.
