California Debate Gave Me Top Gun Flashbacks

Maverick and Iceman are rivals. They are competing for the Top Gun prize and seem to hate each other.

But eventually they come together and get all buddy-buddy.

 Well Obama and Clinton seemed to make the same relationship journey today at the California Democratic Presidential debate.

And when they were asked about possibly being running mates together, I couldn’t help but remember the exchange between Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer (who is from Chatsworth, BTW):

Iceman: You can be my wingman any time.
Maverick: Bullshit! You can be mine.
