Election 2020: The Game!

[Kingpoleon]

I wish to run as Former Governor John Kasich. I'll have an announcement speech up later today.

[Kingpoleon]

If no one else does it, I might switch over and try primarying Hillary as Miro Weinberger.

[Kingpoleon]

I'm switching to Representative Tim Ashe.

If no one signs up as Hillary, will you play as her and handicap her a bit? I wanted to primary her, but if she doesn't run, then I might pick James Stavridis.

[Kingpoleon]

Just wondering, if Tim Ashe is Congressman, did Welch vacate his seat to run for Governor or Senator? Or was he primaried out/defeated by an Indy/VT Progressive run of Ashe. Also, did Kasich face any major opponents in the primary? If so, who? And what was his margin of victory in the Senate race?

I had Welch resign in either 2017 or 2018 due to health problems. He'll turn seventy in 2017.

Interesting. Does Ashe run as a Democrat, VT Progressive, or Independent?

I'd assume the endorsements of the first two.

[Kingpoleon]

Chafee and Daschle are completely unacceptable, and to a slightly lesser extent Bill Walker is unacceptable. For now, we suspend our campaign, but we intend to encourage supporters to vote against Hillary.

"This race has shown me that, Clinton scandal after Clinton scandal, the media will not accept me as a real candidate. I therefore endorse Angus King, in recognition of the fact of what we learned four years ago: This race is rigged against people like me and Bernie Sanders. Should Angus King not choose someone off my short list or Tulsi Gabbard, I intend to run myself or someone even higher profile as the Justice, Reform, Green, and any other leftist parties we can get on board, nominee."

[Kingpoleon]

Tim Ashe accepts the nomination and intends to fight for the defeat of the Bush-Clinton machine.

[Kingpoleon]

Tim Ashe speech:
"My fellow Americans, early in the morning on November seventh, Senator Marco Rubio has used me and Senator King as political ploys. He created a narrative saying he stands for independents, moderate Democrats, and moderate Republicans. He accused me and Senator King of dividing Democrats. He has compared himself to Ronald Reagan, a much better man than himself. Ronald Reagan was a good leader, despite bad elements of his ideology. Part of the reason he was a good leader was because he didn't compare himself to others. He stood on his own two feet.

Marco Rubio, if you're listening, listen to my next words: later that same day, there you go again. He quotes to Jimmy Fallon three times Ronald Reagan. He can't stand on his own two feet. Rubio has to compare himself to someone else. America, do not listen to him. Let him tell us who he is - not in sound bites for commercials, but let him tell his background. Let us find his personality ourselves. Senator Rubio, do not try to get us to mix your personality with the optimism of Ronald Reagan.

Let me also clarify: my campaign intends to be on the ballots in all the early primary states. If the DNC blocks this, we intend to get write in ballot access. We will call out the system on its many problems. It is rigged by the status quo against the poor, racial and sexual minorities, and many others. This campaign, of King and mine, is one that promises we will not leave anyone behind. We will unrig the system. Together, we will defeat the people destroying America and the world. We represent the failed economic policies of neither Hillary Clinton nor George W. Bush. We represent all the people."

[Kingpoleon]

Morning Joe Appearance:
Joe Scarborough: Mr. Ashe, do you have any response to Marco Rubio's speech?

Tim AsheI think it's kind of strange that Marco Rubio has decided to try giving back and forth speeches. I know I don't intend to try to divide the American people by giving speeches to be nit picked and taken apart by many, many people. I don't encourage anyone to try that. All I can say is that Rubio might want to take my advice.

[Kingpoleon]

Tim Ashe"All I have done is switched my party registration. President Clinton has switched the economy from growth under President Obama. She has switched the deficit, which is now expanding. She has not continued progress. If I am a traitor to my party for switching situations, at least I have not destroyed our country with dishonesty, lies, and bad government. I switched my party registration because I believed in my ideology, which obviously President Clinton cannot understand."

[Kingpoleon]

"I have to admit, I think Senator King was a bit too nice to President Clinton. Centrism and progressivism are similar causes with similar goals. Common sense, efficient universal healthcare, energy independence using our national supply of ethanol and oil evolving into renewable energy, a realistic and diplomatic foreign policy, and a more balanced budget. President Clinton follows neither progressivism nor centrism. She represents everything wrong with American liberalism and nothing right with it - a lack of efficiency, economic loss, and a growing decline in labor participation and a growing increase in inflation."
- Tim Ashe

[Kingpoleon]

[Kingpoleon]

-Recently, Tim Ashe created the Progressive Liberty Party, a party that seems to be becoming a viable third party. What do you think will be the effects of this launch?

I believe that a more diversified political landscape will be beneficial for our republic and our democracy and democracy has always been, still is and will always be a precious value that we're fighting for here and around the world for the sake of freedom, gender equality, security and liberty of press and opinion. That's why we fight terrorism. And here, in New York City, we are proud to have a great symbol of liberty : the Statue of Liberty that France gave us 100 years after the Declaration of Independence during a war when we defeated the most powerful empire and army of the world thanks to France's military help, thus getting us our national independence and freedom.

In addition of dividing the liberal vote and ensuring our victory in November, the Progressive Liberty Party's creation demonstrates that only the Republican Party represents the path to prosperity and restoration of the American Dream for all the American people, whether they are conservatives, independents, liberals, progressives or libertarians. We need to put the government aside in order to give the American people the right and freedom to prosper, to find a good-paying job and to found families which children will have the privilege to earn a better education and a bright future. If I'm President of the United States, in addition of reducing government spending, we will cut taxes for all the American people, including the middle class and poor people. By increasing oil drilling and production, we will ensure massive job creation and get the necessary revenues to develop renewable energies to create jobs while protecting the environment. It will also make a contribution in our fight against terrorism because it will make sure that we will stop unwillingly finance terrorist groups by importing oil from countries in throes of terrorism and this money won't fall into the wrong hands. Job creation will increase wages, thus reducing poverty and helping us reducing our deficit. Budget balance will help us developing our infrastructures thanks to a part of budget surpluses, which will help our future business owners to open, grow and expand new businesses, to produce, to innovate and to create jobs.

That's we will bring all the American people, including independents, liberals and progressives around our agenda while promoting conservative policies.

-Recently, Tim Ashe created the Progressive Liberty Party, a party that seems to be becoming a viable third party. What do you think will be the effects of this launch?

Well it's difficult to tell as of right now so we’ll see how things shake out. But ultimately I think it creates a great opportunity for our party this is right now splitting the democratic party in half and that really opens the door for us so we better not blow it. But I think this also highlights a deeper feeling that americans have about our political system. The american people are sick and tired of war, one of the founding principles of that party was a foreign policy that is against war and for peace and diplomacy which is great. But this party advocates for policies that cannot be payed for and will rack up our debt so the republican alternative should be free markets and liberty. I also think that if the Republican Party becomes the party that is against war and regime change then the Progressive Liberty Party will soon become history and I think we can accomplish this.

Officials Ashe-Monds response by Monds:

"Senator Rubio has once again made sweeping platitudes rather than direct answers. Our party is a party of ideas and direction, not mindless rambles from a man who can only repeat lines. If you care to recall, Senator Rubio said a comment about President Obama once. Governor Christie then accused him of using repetitive, sweeping, political lines and sound bites. Senator Rubio went on to repeat this same phrase three or four times.

"Senator Rubio's ideology of extreme belligerency, cutting taxes, and raising military spending while cutting no other spending is inflationary, adds to our debt, and is generally fiscally unsound. On social issues, he refuses to address gay marriage. He refuses an exception for abortion for the mother's health. He refuses background checks and mental tests. Senator Rubio is an extremist through and through.

"Congressman Paul implied that the Progressive Liberty Party is solely anti-war and fiscally irresponsible. We do not support fiscal irresponsibility. We support elimination of most welfare systems, a combination of Wyden-Bennett and BaucusCare, a basic income to those at or below 250% of the poverty line, erasure of artificial state lines on healthcare insurance, and universal healthcare for veterans, servicemen, their spouses, and their children(the last up until the age of 22).

"We support trade deals done one nation at a time. We support reform of the United Nations. We support a foreign policy doctrine involving rare military action but strong military action. We support increasing ties to growing nations like India, Germany, and Brazil. We support using diplomacy to democratize and stabilize nations like Brazil, India, Thailand, Turkey, and similar nations.

"We are not aged radicals who have insulted the members of the Libertarian Party who have joined us. We represent fresh ideas. While the ideas outlined above are those of my party, we support mavericks in our party. I'm a libertarian maverick in my party. People like David Cobb and Rocky Anderson would be solidly progressive mavericks if they joined. Others are centrist mavericks.

"The Progressive Liberty Union is neither Democratic nor Republican. It belongs neither with the left nor the right; it belongs neither to liberals nor conservatives; it belongs to America; it belongs to the American people. The NAACP, the HRC, the moderates, the libertarians: many different people in many different organizations support us.

"Senator Rubio, Congressman Paul, and President Clinton we expect all will continue to criticize us in the coming months. These forces of the status quo stand not with the American people. The forces of the people stand against us and against the American people. These people are afraid of true change, led neither by the G. O. P. or the left, but by the people. This is our battle cry, this is our call: We, the people, demand bold change!"

JOHN MONDS' ANSWERS PART ONE

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I believe the American path is one of diversity. I speak not of diversity of color, but diversity of thought. In America, the biggest lie is our biggest weakness. The American duopoly, the two party system, has told you that your worst enemy is the other party's voters. We have been told it is not polite to bring up politics. Do you know why it is not polite? Because the duopoly system of hatred of the enemy has caused the greatest division in our country, it is not polite. If we defeat this duopoly, we can become better. We can discuss politics without fighting. An exchange of ideas, a diversity of thought, is what we advocate for.

I would advocate to President Ashe to investigate this matter. We will kill him if it saves even one life of our men on the mission.

Yes. If Ukraine seems to have a doubtful democracy, we would be willing to ask our allies in the region, such as Germany and Poland, to consider observing the elections. We would not do so without a willing and welcoming Ukrainian response.

The Assad regime should be brought down. We will negotiate with him. Should Assad refuse to stop mass murders, we will work with our allies in the region, such as Turkey, diplomatically. If it is possible to depose him with minimal bloodshed, once all other problems are taken care of, we will do so. In the mean time, it does not seem advisable to march head on with no plan into the Middle East.

Senator Rubio is from a similar part of the South as me. Let me assure you: this is double talk. Any cut of manufacturing jobs would only come from the military-industrial complex which has consistently been supported by the two sides of the same coin. The military-industrial complex, held up by the Democrats and Republicans, is directly opposed to the interests of the American people.
