Hi. After talking to Mike, I've decided to stay in the game. I feel that I should explain myself a bit -- I realized that I didn't really want to participate in a game where 90% of the activity was just angry Twitter wars between the candidates, but Mike has assured me that this won't be the case once turns start, and that he'll clarify how that's going to work in the formal rules. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused you guys, and thanks for being accommodating of my poor decision-making.

It's all good, just some twitter fun while we wait for game to begin.

Debate Night

Opening statement:

When my parents moved to America, they saw a chance at a new better life, a place where they could work hard and see the fruit of their endeavors, a place to start a family, knowing that their child had a chance at a better life than them. I was born and raised in this environment, and I strive to uphold that optimism that they raised me on. But for all the progress we've made as a nation, there are still those who wish to exploit this dream, to block it, and insure they and they alone keep all the fruit. I'm running for President because I can't allow that to happen.

I spoke recently near where the attacks took place for the the need to stand united. The worst thing we can do under such attacks is to give in to the fear they wish to bring about us. As for my actions specifically, my Administration would continue the work done by the FBI and CIA, whose intelligence work has managed to stop a number of similar attacks before anyone could be harmed. I will also reach out to the UN to get an international response against groups like ISIS who threaten not only the lives of Americans, but of people around the world. Terrorism is an international issue, and thus must be confronted internationally.

No specific number would ever be enough. Instead, I support a system to slowly bring refugees in who wish to enter America. With such a system we can bring people in without the risk of our infrastructure unable to handle the masses of people all at once. Ultimately, these people have had their lives torn apart by war, and for us to turn our head away, because fear mongers want us to think that they're all terrorists in waiting, would be to succumb to the very fear groups like ISIS want from us.

Any attempt to close the income gap must start with education. I would increase the federal aid offered to students, I support the idea brought up by some to make Community College free and would make that a goal of mine as President. Further more, I would also make it a goal of mine to get the federal minimum wage to $15 by the end of my first term. I could go on and on about the things we can do, but then we'd be here all night. *laughs*

When the bill first entered the House, I was a firm supporter of it, but as time went by we saw it scraped and butchered in an attempt by the right to weaken its ability to help the citizens of this land and weaken the stranglehold companies have over our health. My administration would slowly scrap the law, to be replaced with a new one similar to the original Leipcare law. One that can actually fulfill its promise of affordable health care.

It truly pains me to see millions of Americans suffer from the effects of narcotics like heroin. Too often, our policy is but to throw then into a cell, only to release them back into the world, no better than they were before. That will change under my presidency. Our policy towards addicts should be support, to rehabilitate so they may enter society again clean and free from their addiction. I would also target forces such as poverty, which has been shown to be a factor in people getting into narcotics.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again to put it to rest. My campaign has taken steps to insure such an incident does not happen again. I have apologized, and any candidate who continues to make an issue of it is simply trying to distract voters from what really matters, how we're gonna fix the problems facing America today.

Closing statement:

People from America, we need a progressive, populist candidate that will fight for you. The rich elite won't fight for you, but I will, because I am that candidate you need, and I hope I have earned your vote. Thank you.

DEBATE RESPONSES


Opening Statement:

These debates have shrunken quite a bit since the first haven't they? *laughs* In all seriousness, I'd like to start by thanking Senator Jones for a campaign well ran, I also must applaud his decision to donate his tokens. I wish him the best of luck in future endeavors. Now, let us focus on the matter at hand.

The fact that this is even seen as a valid solution by some is honestly concerning. Even looking past the amount of time and money such a thing would require, the fact that a wall would fail to account for sea and air travel, a waist of time and money, and would provide little help with the situation? I'll pass thank you.

Deportation would not be my first option per say. but a crime is a crime, if someone say, commits a murder, their punishment should be the same whether they are an immigrant or not.

I've spoken on this before so I'll keep it brief, a woman's body is her own, if they wish to have an abortion they should be free to do so.

This is but another ploy built to limit the less able from voting. To vote is a right granted to every citizen, stuff like photo ID laws are but unnecessary hurdles. I'd even go so far as to say that one should be able to vote as soon as they turn 18, with no need to go through a separate registration process.

I do yes. Is it perfect? No. Does it need more work? Yes. But so far it is the best medicare system our nation has had, and until a better system is provided, I would back Leipcare.

Polls can be a tricky thing, They generally give a good idea of the situation, but they can be wrong, just how it is. I refuse to let the polls chain myself. The only numbers that matter in the end are the ones counted in the ballots. I trust that I've done all I can to persuade voters that I am the best candidate, and will continue to do all I can up until November.

Closing statement:

For all of you soon to head to the voting booth, I hope this debate tonight has helped you decide this important choice. The Republican nominee has already basically been decided, and no doubt they're using the extra time planing for ether of us. That is why no matter who wins, we must stand together. Thank you for your time, and good night.
