Republicans threw down the gauntlet at their debate on Tuesday, requiring anyone who wished to use the WiFi at Milwaukee Theatre to type in the password "StopHillary." Tonight at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where the second Democratic debate is being held, the DNC has countered with a WiFi password of their own. Or rather, there's no password at all.

The next Republican debate will be held on Dec. 15, in Nevada — WiFi password to come.
