Sometimes we (alright, I) take politics a bit too seriously. So, let's make use of the upcoming Democratic and Republican conventions as the political theater/entertainment they truly are.
I've crafted up some BUZZWORD BINGO card templates for each convention. They're available as an Excel spreadsheet because they have some interesting functionality. Each sheet can automatically generate over 16 million different cards through some randomized filling in of the buzzwords.
To use, just open up the file (download below) and switch to the appropriate worksheet (tabs at the bottom: DNC = Democratic convention, RNC = Republican convention). Hit the F9 key a few times until you see a card you like and print it. Hit F9 a few more times to generate a new card, print, and repeat until you have enough for your players.
While watching the convention, any member of the party speaking in official capacity is fair game, so make sure to stay tuned between the speeches as well. Standard Bingo rules apply.

Enjoy!
