America's Fate: 2020 Election Game (Gameplay Thread)

[x-Guy]

Turn 1: November 1st - November 10th, 2019:

IN THE NEWS:

2020 Kicks off! Republican primary crowded. Democrats brace for a potential competitive primary.

The 2020 campaign is now underway and the candidates are now in campaign mode. For the Democrats, President Clinton is unsurprisingly leading the helm while unexpected candidate Governor Gina Raimondo is challenging the President on her Progressive credentials. You also have democratic darling Beto O' Rourke running as well who became famous after a narrow defeat in the Texas senate race. Until the candidates make progress, its heavily expected that democrats will stick with Clinton. For the Republicans you have Former Governor John Kasich leading the pack but not by much. The Republican primary is considered to be close between the candidates as none have stuck out in the electorate. Behind Kasich is the Governor of Tennessee, Bill Haslam who is mostly likely to appeal to the southern and conservative vote. You also have northeast Governors Charlie Baker of MA & Phil Scott of VT. How these two perform in New Hampshire will certainly be interesting. There's also former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky who were also previous contenders in 2016 with experience. In order to win these Republicans have to get their names out there and stat building bases! The stage is now set for 2020!

Republican Primary Poll

Frmr Governor John Kasich: 16%

Governor Bill Haslam: 13%

Governor Charlie Baker: 11%

Governor Phil Scott: 9%

Frmr Governor Jeb Bush: 7%

Senator Rand Paul: 6%

Undecided: 38%

Democrat Primary Poll

President Hillary Clinton: 70%

Frmr Representative Beto O' Rourke: 12%

Governor Gina Raimondo: 5%

Undecided: 13%

Upcoming Primaries:
February 1st, 2020 - Iowa Caucus (Both Parties)
February 9th, 2020 - New Hampshire Primary (Both Parties)
February 20th, 2020 - Nevada Caucuses (Democratic)
February 20th, 2020 - South Carolina Primary (Republican)

Rep. Gabbard Endorses Raimondo/Ryan

Nashua, NH

Congresswomen Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI): Hillary Clinton has failed as president. She promised that she would be progressive and then we elected her. She promised used she would protect LGBT rights and then we elected her. She promised that she would rebuild our middle class then we elected her. She promised that she would unite our country then we elected her. Now, she promises the same things again. I am not trusting her again because we do need change and she didn't bring it. We need a progressive leader that will bring us to change, that will fight for those that need it most.

We also need a real feminist leader. A real feminist wouldn't remain married to a sexual harasser like Hillary is. Bill Clinton is a sexual harasser and uses his power to dominate women. We shouldn't have that in our white house. We need a feminist that will stand up to men like Bill Clinton. That woman is Gina Raimondo. Raimondo is a powerful woman who has stood up to powerful men is whole life. I am glad I am coming onto team Gina so we can fight to bring change to this country. Now it is my pleasure to introduce you to the next Vice-President of the United State, my colleagues, and friend, Representative Tim Ryan.

Congressmen Tim Ryan (D-OH): Tulsi is a great asset for our team, she is a progressive that has consistently fought leadership in Washington for the people of her district. We need people like Tulsi on our team, people who have a record of standing up to leadership that has failed. I stood up to Nancy Pelosi when I believed she was not fighting enough for the middle class and now I am standing with Gina against the failed leadership of Hillary Clinton. 2018 was the year of the women, the year of the feminist. Let's keep women in the white house and that woman will be Gina Raimondo who will actually fight for women's rights against sexual abusers unlike Hillary Clinton that has stood by her husband no matter how much how bad his record with women is. Now let's introduce to you, the next president of the United States and my teammate in this fight, Gina Raimondo.

Governor Gina Raimondo (D-RI): What a warm welcome. thank you, Tulsi, thank you, Tim, and thank you, New Hampshire! Four years ago, you voted for a progressive in the primaries and you believed you voted for a progressive in the general election. You are a progressive state and you deserve a progressive candidate. In 2016, you and I were tricked by Hillary Clinton. She told us she was progressive but now it is obvious she is not. I am the true progressive that you deserve and what you tried to get in 2016.

I am a progressive, I am going to rebuild the middle class, I am going to fix our education system. I did it in Rhode Island and I am ready to do it for America but I need your help. Please go out and vote, get rid of the failed leadership in Washington and Put in me and Tim to fix our divided country.

Speech at the Florence Center, Florence, South Carolina



You know, it used to be that incumbent Presidents didn't get primary challengers. I can think of several reasons why both President Obama and myself should have gotten one when we sought reelection, but we didn't get one. You know why? Because Democrats had respect for who was in office, regardless how they stood within the party.

November 3, 2019

Speech at Francis Marion University, Florence, South Carolina

Congresswoman Gabbard, what exactly are you trying to state, by stating my wife isn't a feminist because she didn't divorce me? I'll admit, I've had my affairs, but refusing to divorce someone who is having an affair doesn't make one any more or less of a feminist. It's what a women does for other women's rights that makes her a feminist, not whether or not she is married to anyone.

Besides, why we're married is between us, and no one else, and for you to suggest any ulterior motive other than love is behind our marriage is wrong, and you need to make an apology to both of us.

Meet Voters in Pinewood, South Carolina

Speech at Morris College, Sumter,South Carolina

For those Americans who believe that black lives do not matter, or matter less than other lives, you are wrong. For too long you have been discriminated against, abused and worse. This administration has been active in defending your rights for the past three years, and my wife and I look forward to not only defending you, but advancing your rights in a second term. Soon the day will come when all citizens are truly equal before the law, and I hope this administration is a part of it.

Scott Simon Q&A in Concord New Hampshire

Question 1:Hi there my son was involved and thankfully survived the horrible Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting and I voted for President Clinton cause I thought she would take on the NRA and their controller politicans and unfortunately he has yet to do that. How can you work with Congress on gun safety?

Simon:Well Thank you for that question and I am sadden to hear what happened to your son however I am glad he is fine.  But to answer your question yes I will take on the NRA and make sure that gun show and gun shop in America has a quality background check and a few day waiting period before they can receive a gun. And I will as President put money into federal research for gun violence and how we can stop it. I respect and admire the second amendment but that doesn’t mean it’s unchangeable

Question 1:Great thank you very much

Question 2:President Clinton was going to fight for universal healthcare and Medicare for all but she has since done none of that what do you plan to do about that.

Simon:I think Obamacare has done a lot of good and we should be thankful for it but I think it’s just the first step towards universal healthcare which if you go to my website you can find I am fighting for a universal healthcare system like they have in Canada and like they have in France and I will fight the Republicans when it comes to Medicare and fight for Medicare for all so that people can have access to the best healthcare and medicine available.

Question 2:Thank you sir

Schedule for Tim Kaine

November 1, 2019

Speech in Claremont, New Hampshire (With Elizabeth Warren)

I know Governor Raimondo is trying to challenge us on our progressive credentials. That's just hypocrisy at it's finest. Governor Raimondo has not governed as a progressive in Rhode Island. In her tenure as Treasurer of Rhode Island, and later Governor, she supported removing cost-of-living increases from state employee pensions, and tried to incorporate 401(k)'s into the pensions. That's not progressive at all. She said it was to stop the pensions from running out of money...well Governor, did you ever consider supporting tax increases on the wealthy and corporations that would have supported those pensions? I know that's what I would've done, if I were still Governor of my home state of Virginia.

Meet Voters in Lempster, New Hampshire (With Elizabeth Warren)

Meet Voters in Marlow, New Hampshire (With Elizabeth Warren)

Speech in Keene, New Hampshire (With Elizabeth Warren)

Governor Raimondo's record is just not pretty. Last time I checked, her approval ratings in Rhode Island hadn't climbed above 40% since at least the end of 2017. If you can't get the majority of voters in your own state to like you, than how do expect to win nationally?

Quite honestly, I think I'm quite surprised she didn't lose in 2018, given her horrific approvals she had then, and still has now.

November 2, 2019

Speech at Keene State College (With Elizabeth Warren)

When we first ran for President, we promised to crack down on predatory colleges like Trump University, Diploma Mills like the University of Northern Virginia, Warren National University and Almeda University. Thanks to Secretary's Weingarten and Cuomo, this administration has brought suit against, and shut down multiple schools of this nature, for misleading students into thinking diplomas at these schools are worth something. This behavior violates the laws of multiple states, and this administration has taken the position that these frauds violates multiple laws in education and interstate commerce, as these were for-profit universities seeking to defraud both State and Federal Governments on numerous issues, ranging from accreditation fraud to fraudulently obtaining visas for students. In a Clinton second term, we will go farther than ever to protect the rights of students, including the right to obtain a valid degree at whatever institution of higher learning a student chooses to attend.

Speech at Saint Anselm College, Goffstown, New Hampshire (With Elizabeth Warren)

Every good administration's got to have give and take between all of the top officials. And we do. President Clinton doesn't always get her way on policy. I don't always get my way on policy. The various members of the cabinet, also don't always get their way on policy. That's how a proper Presidential Administration should be run, when no one gets what they want 100% of the time.

Appearance on Face The Nation, from Goffstown, New Hampshire

So, can you explain why American troops are still in Syria?
That's an argument I lost with President Clinton and Secretary of State Biden. They both believed removing the troops would lead to an increase in strength for ISIS, and would lead to Russian sponsored massacres of civilians. I will admit, they both have very good points, as Bashar al-Assad has already been proven to be willing and able to butcher his own people, and the Russian Government is willing to cover up this butchery, as well as participate in the massacre of civilians themselves, to keep Assad in power. In many was, that was an argument I'm happy to have lost, though I wish the administration would do more to prevent the loss of American lives in Syria.

Rally at Talledega Superspeedway, Talledega, Alabama

Senator King is quite frankly, only running this race to divide the Democratic Party. Let me be very clear here. This tactic could easily lead to a Republican being elected, which I'm sure most Democrats do not want. So whether our nominee is President Clinton, Governor Raimondo or Congressman O'Rourke, we as Democrats, need to support our nominee, not go on a wild goose-chase for a third party candidate that won't get any electoral votes.

Speech in Oxford, Alabama

I admit to having no idea how Governor Baker or Governor Scott are going to win the Republican nomination. The nomination of Donald Trump in 2016, proves that the Republican Party does not want sane, responsible government. Based on that logic, I predict that Rand Paul will win the Republican nomination, barring anyone else entering the race, because his Libertarian ideas are neither sane nor logical.

Meet Voters in Weaver, Alabama

Meet Voters in Glencoe, Alabama

November 7, 2019

Speech at the Savannah Civic Center, Savannah, Georgia

I admire candidates who are willing to put aside partisanship to work together. I think that we've done that, and I think that there are candidates on the Republican side of the aisle, like Governor Kasich, Governor Baker and Governor Scott, who would do that if elected. However, today's politics is dominated by partisanship and purity tests, as evidenced in our two primary challengers, and the fact no one in the Republican field, which, with the exception of Senator Paul and Governor Haslam are all moderates, are getting over 16% of the primary vote. That's lamentable, and if there's one thing I hope our administration has changed, and will change in a second term is a reliance on purity tests, and being overly partisan.

Within my first term as governor, we turned that deficit into a surplus of 1 billion dollars. In that same time span, we were able to lower the income tax rate, enabling the people of Massachusetts to keep more of their hard-earned money. These economic policies have greatly helped the people of Massachusetts, and these are the kinds of economic policies that you will see under a Baker administration."

Excerpt from Collins's speech: "I've been in the Senate for over 20 years and I am sick and tired of the partisanship and gridlock that has prevented us from being able to do more good. It's time for a leader to get past partisanship and get our country going again. Governor Baker has shown that he can get past partisanship and work across the aisle for the good of the people. It worked for Massachusetts and it will work for America, which is why I am endorsing him for President of the United States!"

Excerpt from Hogan's speech: People think the days of bipartisanship are over. They think that we can't reach across the aisle to find solutions. But Governor Baker has shown us otherwise. He has shown that bipartisanship in America is still alive. I am proud to be a governor alongside him and I am proud to offer him my endorsement in his bid for the Presidency!"

Fundraiser follows the Manchester rally. Governor Hogan and Senator Collins attend the fundraiser.

November 10: Return to Boston for gubernatorial duties.

Turn 2: November 11th - November 23rd, 2019:

IN THE NEWS:

Networks release primary state polling in Iowa & New Hampshire!

Average IA Primary Polling data (R):
Governor Nikki Haley: 25%
Frmr Governor John Kasich: 19%
Senator Rand Paul: 14%
Governor Phil Scott: 11%
Governor Charlie Baker: 9%
Frmr Governor Jeb Bush: 6%
Representative Elise Stefanik: 4%
Undecided: 11%

Average IA Primary Polling data (D):

President Hillary Clinton: 45%
Governor Gina Raimondo: 21%
Frmr Representative Beto O Rourke: 19%
Undecided: 15%

Various news networks have finally released their state polling results during the month of November! Some are a bit mixed. However all of them show a contentious race for Republicans especially with the entry of South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. For the state of Iowa we have a close race with the top three contenders being Haley, Kasich, & Paul. In the lower tier we have Governors Scott, Baker, Bush, & alongside representative Elise Stefanik who lacks much name recognition within the state. For the Democrats Hillary Clinton holds on to a decent lead in the Iowa Primary at first while Raimondo lands in second narrowly ahead of Representative O Rourke. The most interesting factor of this race will be vote splitting. If either Democratic challenger hopes to defeat Clinton in this stronghold then they will have to compete forcefully. The most important factor of these two races will undoubtedly be the undecided vote. This most likely won't be the last poll and its still anyone's game. For all of these candidates the most important poll will be the official results.

Average NH Primary Polling data (R):
Governor Phil Scott: 20%
Frmr Governor John Kasich: 18%
Governor Charlie Baker: 15%
Senator Rand Paul: 11%
Governor Nikki Haley: 9%
Representative Elise Stefanik: 7%
Frmr Governor Jeb Bush: 5%
Undecided: 15%

Average NH Primary Polling data (R):

President Hillary Clinton: 44%
Governor Gina Raimondo: 38%
Frmr Representative Beto O Rourke: 13%
Undecided: 5%

For Republicans the state of New Hampshire will be an extremely contentious state. The top three include Governor Phil Scott from the neighboring state of Vermont as he holds his extremely small lead against John Kasich in second and fellow northeasterner, Governor Charlie Baker of Massachusetts in third. In the lower tier we have Senator Rand Paul in fourth being only four points behind Baker thanks to New Hampshire's libertarian population and previous Ron Paul supporters. Whether or not Paul can win depends if he can expand his base. The final two in the poll are Elise Stefanik & Jeb Bush. If Stefanik wants to win New Hampshire she'll have to improve with name recognition. It is extremely rare that a little known representative wins the Presidency. For the Democrats, Clinton is in unsafe territory against Raimondo in New Hampshire while vote splitting isn't much of an issue with O Rourke in a distant third. While the results may be closer this election, it is highly possible that Clinton may face defeat in New Hampshire for the second time as she did against Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

National Republican Primary Poll

Governor Nikki Haley: 17%

Governor John Kasich: 13%

Governor Phil Scott: 11%

Governor Charlie Baker: 11%

Senator Rand Paul: 9%

Representative Elise Stefanik: 7%

Frmr Governor Jeb Bush: 5%

Undecided: 27%

In the Republican race we now see that the newest contender, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has taken the lead. This is most likely due in part to a better name recognition than Haslam who has since dropped out. Whether or not Haley will increase her lead from Kasich has yet to be seen as she only leads him by 4 percent. Behind Kasich is a stalemate between both North East Governors Phil Scott & Charlie Baker. Their dynamic will almost certainly affect this race. In fourth you have Senator Rand Paul who has only climbed up the polls since Haslam dropped out of the race and a lack of campaigning from Bush and good name recognition from last election. Behind Paul you have Representative Stefanik who was endorsed by Haslam. However, despite the endorsement her campaign is struggling with a lack of name recognition nationwide. She will really have to get her name out there if she wants a fighting chance.

National Democratic Primary Poll

President Hillary Clinton: 65%

Governor Gina Raimondo: 11%

Frmr Representative Beto O' Rourke: 9%

Undecided: 15%

In the democratic Primary Clinton's lead has only slightly reduced after various attacks and criticisms from Governor Raimondo who has now climbed up since the first poll to second place due to a lack of campaigning from Representative O Rourke. Whether or not Raimondo's support will increase has yet to be seen. However, top democratic officials are already hoping that it doesn't come to a contested primary. The undecideds have also slightly increased as well. While many pundits doubt Clinton can be beat the only thing that matters will be her performance in the primaries.
