MSNBC hosting ‘2016 Fantasy Candidate Draft’ Thursday night

The 2016 presidential election is starting to look like one big game.

Thursday night, MSNBC is launching its first-ever “All In 2016 Fantasy Candidate Draft” during which various political commentators will draft potential 2016 presidential candidates.



Each participant will follow his or her team until the election, and undoubtedly someone will be deemed the winner when America elects a president.

According to The Hill, the participants will include MSNBC host Chris Hayes, New York Times reporter Josh Barro, MSNBC political analyst Michael Steele, communications director of Emily’s List Jess McIntosh, MSNBC host Joy Reid, and radio host Sam Seder, among others.

Unfortunately for these individuals, their “teams” will be randomly selected. It appears draft options will include Donald Trump, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and several others.

The “draft” airs Thursday at 8pm during Chris Hayes’ “All In.”
