I'll probably reserve Fmr Governor Bill Haslam of Tennessee

EDIT: Why is Corker still in the Senate?! He would've likely left even if Hillary won. He's very unpopular in TN and not all that appreciated. If anything, this would allow him to be primaried by Blackburn (opinion polls for OTL show just that)

At what point was it said Corker won re-election. It's quite possible Blackburn beat Corker in a primary and won from there too...

Look at the Character List for the GOP.

Aren't Senators still given that honorific even after their retirement/defeat?

Fmr Senator, but not Senator

Well, than I would say change it to Blackburn (or Haslam...don't forget about him) but I'm not in charge here.

He can still be on the list, but as a Former Senator.

Also, important question, why isn't Al Gore in the Democratic list? He still has some popularity and Influence in the party.

If Gore wanted to run for President again, he would have done so in 2008.

That said, someone certainly could ask for him, and HCP certainly could grant the request...as it's not as outrageous as what Jaguar usually asks for.

He teases it from Time to Time and he might run in 2024.

I agree on the Jaguar part

Why not take someone like O'Malley or Biden, to make it a bit fair in the early states

Sure, steal New Hampshire from the one politician (other than Sanders) who would win the primary in a walk.

To be fair, the same could be said for Warren in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is literally Warren's home state. Unless Warren did something really stupid, like insult the Boston Red Sox, she'd win in a landslide.

By taking Warren, you are having the one Candidate to win it in a Landslide

And Warren probably would win New Hampshire easily (assuming Sanders isn't running) in almost any scenario, because she lives right next door.

Which doesn't make it all that fair, really. Evens it out

I PM’d him bout a character and he won’t respond

So? He hasn't responded and frankly, if you're being this rude, I wouldn't want you in my game either.

You just love bullying me don’t you

No, no I don't. I'm just stating something that seems true. Ask anyone else via PM what they think

I’ll just go ahead and say who I’m choosing.  He’s a celebrity who has been involved in politics and has even expressed interest in running for President

That's literally over a dozen celebrities

He’s an actor which I’m a big fan of.

Still a lot of people. You have to be more specific

Fine. A liberal actor who’s been considering running for a while. He’s in his 50s and his name rhymes with  Meorge Mooney

That's better.

George Clooney is an interesting choice

HASLAM FOR AMERICA

RESTORE CHARACTER IN POLITICS


Haslam Announcement Speech

Nashville, Tennessee

Attendance: 1500 (Staff, Press, and Supporters)


"Thank you all for coming.

In 2010, you in Tennessee gave me, back then the 8 year Mayor of Knoxville, the chance to be your Governor. Since then, I have served the state dutifully. For eight years, we have ended the horrible job economy that we suffered under Governor Bredesen whom, while I do respect as a man, did some rather awful policies. In just 8 years, I was able to turn those policies around and employ thousands of people and get the jobs back in Tennessee, manufacturing jobs, jobs that Former President Obama said wouldn't come back. For the last 8 years, I have proven Conservative Policies, with the right touch, can be implemented handedly and effectively by someone who knows what they are doing. For the last 12 years, the Democrats have fought the Republicans tooth and nail and try to slander them as evil monsters from Children's Bed Time Stories. I make no mistake, Republicans have done this as well. I had a tipping point though. That Tipping point is what President Clinton did at the tail end of 2018. That is something I would call unjust and incredibly deceitful and wrong for the President to do. Today, I am running to bring Character back into politics. To end all Negative attacks just for Political Gain. It's time that America as a Nation heals and unites as one. I promise that, unless absolutely necessary, I will run no Negative Campaign Ads on my Opponent. You can win without being Negative and by doing that, it will so that this will be the true way to change Politics. If I become President, then I will work my hardest to continue to do just that and sign what is best for the Nation as a whole. Character Matters in our leaders and that's why I'm running. Let's end Divisive Partisan Politics and work for those who elect us.

I hope to see all of those here tonight and all of those watching at home on the Campaign trail!
"
