Election 2020: The Game!

[R/H]

It is no joke that I was his chair sorry if this comes off as coarse I am trying to be a friendly sort
and sure I can be the VP nominee-who will I be ?

It depends on who will win the Republican nomination. Even if they know who they will select as their running mate, each of the Republican presidential candidates will unveil their list of potential running mates in order to maintain the suspense until the few weeks preceding the Republican Convention. So I will tell all the guys playing the Republican presidential candidates to send you private messages to tell you who they will select as their running mate if they become the Republican presidential nominee.

Do you know where to consult your private messages on this website?

I had a thought: Maybe he could jump in as a compromise candidate at the Convention?

You mean if the Convention is brokered?

ISIS strikes in India

ISIS orchestrated a car bomb attack at Indira Gandhi International Airport in  New Delhi, killing 31 people and wounding 50 people. The two terrorists implicated in this attack died in the explosion. Many solidarity campaigns created the slogan « We are New Delhi! ». The Indian Government is preparing to take action against ISIS.

Riad Mousa al-Asaad is released by his companions

Yesterday, a group of 100 rebels led a secret mission during the night in Damascus to release their leader Mousa al-Asaad. While they entered the Damascus' prison, many people herd a shootout from this building. The rebels killed 40 policemen and 22 soldiers before and lost 31 fighters during the operation before they successfully released al-Asaad and escaped. These events seem to give hope to the Syrian rebels and to the potential of Syria's democratization.

Hostages released around the African Horn

Somalian, Arabic and Yemeni navies led a successful rescue operation to release hostages detained by 10 Somalian pirates during almost a week. These terrorists were asking 250 million $ for the release of these hostages apparently to fund Al Qaida's and Al-Shabaab's terrorist activities. But fortunately, the Arabic, Yemeni and Somalian armies killed 7 pirates and captured the 3 surviving terrorists during the attack while losing 3 soldiers and while 6 hostages died. All the other hostages are saved and are happy to meet their families again.

I see it sometimes can be an advantage to spend a part of his childhood in some important states like Las Vegas. In addition, according to our closing polls 76 % of Hispanic Republicans voted for Rubio in these caucuses. And during his childhood, Rubio and his family practiced Mormonism before practicing Roman Catholicism again. So he's winning an important part of the local Mormon population though Paul Ryan is supported by another important part of the Mormon vote since he was the running mate of Mitt Romney who could have been the first Mormon to become President of the United States if he won the 2012 Presidential election over Barack Obama. »

Would it be too late for me to mount an independent bid?

I assume the answer is likely yes, but it never hurts to ask I guess.

Maybe you could play as the Green Party nominee or the Libertarian nominee if you want.

Date : February 13th, 2020

Participants : Florida Senator Marco Rubio, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, Former FBI Director James Comey






Host : ABC News


Moderator : Charles Gibson


Podium order was determined by the average of the national polls since the beginning of the South Carolina primary and the Nevada caucuses :

Cotton    Rubio    Ryan    Comey

Questions

-Opening statements

-How do you intend to relaunch our space program?

-Senator Rubio, you claimed, a few days before the South Carolina primary and the Nevada caucuses, that the Yucca Mountain, in Nevada, represents a great opportunity for the development of our nuclear industry. What did you mean?

-Senator Rubio, Speaker Ryan accused you of supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants by suggesting that we should allow children of illegals to pay in-state college tuition. How do you respond to it?

-Recently, Saudi Arabia is leading an air offensive against ISIS in Egypt. If we do the same, do you believe it represents a great occasion of improving our relations with Saudi Arabia, four years after the Congress' approval of a law allowing 9/11 victims' families to pursue Saudi Arabia?

-Due to Russia's recent military acts in Syria, Ukraine and the Arctic, was Mitt Romney right to call Russia as geopolitical foe?

-Angus King's campaign launched his Liberterian Outreach Program as well as Republicans for King. I want to hear from all four of you : why Republicans and Libertarians should not trust Angus King to be president and support you as the Republican nominee?
