Republicans:

Change! That is the message which elected Barack Obama in 2008 and republicans are hoping a similar message with an attractive younger candidate will deliver a win! The Republican Convention ends with a United GOP behind Senator Marco Rubio and Mr. Stephen Pearcy. Republicans spent much of the week blasting Elizabeth Warren and the Presidency of Barack Obama, capped off by Pearcy's fiery speech.
Pearcy's presence on the ticket was seen in full stride with his affirmation and support of Rubio, and will likely diminish he effect of Ron Paul, who is looking to Republicans snag disaffected by Rubio. Pearcy's speech was part attack dog and part closer. He went after Elizabeth Warren with humor and wit, and reached out to libertarian minded Republicans and those on the fence for Paul that a Rubio Presidency would be one for them too.

His speech was well received from both the convention audience and pundits. "Mr. Pearcy did something which none of the other speaks could do," said Bill Kristol. "He made the strongest case for Rubio and it came across as authentic because Pearcy is not a creature of the establishment and he ran again Rubio in the primary."

One pundit even called the ticket reminiscent of "Reagan and Bush". There is a coming together of the GOP which we haven't seen in a long time. Republicans are ready to win.

As for the republican nominee, Rubio outlined the differences between he and Warren, but spent the majority of the speech presenting his vision for America and his pledged for a new American century.  His dynamic persona, charisma, charm and wit were on full display as he introduced himself to the country and made his case to be the 45th President.

The line which received the most applause was: "...like my father said in this country you will achieve all the things we never could." Deliver in both English and Spanish Rubio demonstrated he was not on a diverse candidate, but a candidate of the future.

He provided an  effective dismissing of the Obama years without sounding cruel or mean spirited. To the GOP audience Rubio became the candidate of the future; giving the party a much needed boost after two losses at the presidential level.
"Marco Rubio is no Mitt Romney," said Britt Hume. "This is a new Republican Party. Mr. Pearcy as the running mate represents that, and so does Mr. Rubio."

Rubio's youth was on full display with his young family on stage for the bug night. The GOP nominee has sought to play up his age as a bonus and is positioning himself as the candidate of change and painting warren as a figure of the status quo.
Democrats meet next week to nominate Warren and Brown. Polls are showing a significant bounce for Rubio. As the Paul factor fades, Mark Cuban appears a non factor and the public seems ready to move past democrats, a Rubio is in a stronger position as the election shifts towards the general.

Democrats:

As the Republicans rally in Cleveland, Democrats continue to filibuster the proposed Counter Terrorist legislation, introduced by Senator Rubio. Currently, Senator and Former 2016 Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders is leading the Democrat's charge to block the legislation. They currently are approaching hour 60 in the historic filibuster.

The attempt by Democrats is seen through some prisms as political, with Democrats looking to stymie Senator Rubio at every turn. However, some seen the proposed legislation by Mr. Rubio as politicizing the recent terrorist attacks across the globe. However, in light of the recent attacks the public tends to be siding with Rubio. 48% of Americans believe Sen. Rubio is better equipped to handle Foreign Policy, compared to just 37% who back Sen. Warren.
This debate in Congress comes as the Republican conventions winds down and the Democrats prepare for their convention in Philadelphia. An added factor is the apparent hacking of DNC emails, some in which revealed embarrassing contexts, including an apparent concerted effort to block Senator Sanders during the primary process.





Next Round: will last until Saturday at 10 PM EST.
Will include the Democratic Convention!
July 22-July 28

[NHI]

Takeaways from Email Leaks

1.) DNC saw Sen. Sanders' religion as a wedge issue.
2.) DNC  was in constant contact with both Sen. Warren and Vice Pres. Biden.
3.) DNC emails show distrust of Sanders and supporters. "They're not Democrats."
4.) DNC emails discuss possible Biden/Warren ticket to block Sanders momentum.
5.) Panic set in after Warren's close win in IA and loss in NH and NV. "He cannot win!"

I may need an extension to find a replacement for Brown...not sure how long that will take, but I really don't want to play as Brown and Warren. If everyone could look for a poster willing to play as Brown, that would be appreciated.

Election  2016: Update

"This is more than my legacy; this is about our future!"

Paul May Play the Role of Spoiler in Some States

Former Republican Congressman Ron Paul continues to campaign in places, where he may prove a spoiler, including in Ohio, Colorado, New Hampshire and Nevada. A recent poll in Alaska, found him running in third place with 16%. Marco Rubio leads with 49%.

Still Feeling the Bern

Disaffected Democrats and the legion of Bernie Sanders supporters are still standing by their candidate as he campaigns for the Presidency as an independent. He continues to draw large crowds,
 and much like Ron Paul to Marco Rubio, is seen to be playing a spoiler in many states critical to Elizabeth Warren's path to victory. Currently Sanders is leading in his home state with 48% of the vote.

Group of Economists: Back Bernie, Says his Plan "Will Make US Economy Great Again"

A group of economists are throwing their support behind Bernie Sanders. Lourdes Bederia, Victoria Chick, Nancy Folbre, Thomas Pilketty, Steve Keen, John Weeks and L Randall  Wray, all gave a joint statement backing the Vermont Senator in his independent bid for President. In a statement the economist praised his plan for tax reform, and economic growth; dismissing claims by his opponents that his programs are 'pie in the sky'. "Sanders' economic program is a serious and measured approach,
which is enacted will benefit the United States and its people."

August 6-13, 2016

The general election is heating up. Senator Warren and Senator Rubio traded barbs on the stump, while their independent challengers are trying to make waves. Judge Napolitano and Congressman Paul have been going after Rubio on the area of foreign policy, as well as immigration. The Paul campaign likely sees the two issues as a potential draw for disaffected Republicans and libertarian voters; turned off by the Rubiovand GOP message.

For Paul his best States looks to be in New Hampshire, Alaska, Montana and Nevada. Polling has the former Congressman polling with 11% in New Hampshire, 16% in Alaska, 8% in Montana, and 3% in Nevada.

Senator Sanders has been gaining traction in the northeast, and has made it on the ballot in many states, including New Jersey, Wisconsin and Illinois. This move is causing headaches for Democrats, who are already nervous about a tight race against Rubio. Polls show Sanders eating into Warren's lead in usually reliably Democratic states.

In New York, for example: Warren leads: 49% to Rubio's 37%, but Sanders take 9%. In Illinois, the home state of President Obama Sanders polls third with 10%.

Rubio for his part has continued to hammer away at Warren, including among millennials, who were a large voting block for Sanders during the contested primary. By painting Warren as a figure of the past and he the future, his numbers have steadily rebounded. Hus number in the mid west are equally as encouraging. He currently is tied in Ohio with Warren 44% to 44% and leads her 47% to 43% in Pennsylvania. Leads her 44% to 42% in Michigan and ties in Wisconsin 45% to 45%.

In Minnesota, the Democratic stronghold, Warren holds a narrow lead: 47% to 44%.

Rubio, has also made an effort to secure his right flank. Not only is his running mate hitting Ron Paul, but Rubio is going after Paul for his newsletters, which Paul continues to defend.

As the attention now turns to the Olympic Summer games most expect the Presidential race to simmer until at least Labor Day, and then begin in full swing during the final eight week sprint to November 8th.

Rubio battles on two fronts: Warren on the left and Paul on the right. His attacks on both candidates seem to be working.

Reeling from the challenge by Sanders, Warren struggles to hold together the Obama Coalition.

The two wildcards in the race. Right now, Sanders looks to do more damage to Warren,
then Paul to Rubio.

Olympic Games Begins in Rio

Perot Backs Rubio for President

Ross Perot's endorsement announcement speech : At stake is nothing less than our position in the world, our standard of living at home and our constitutional freedoms.

That is why I am endorsing Marco Rubio in his quest for the presidency of the United States.We can’t afford four more years in which national debt mushrooms out of control, our government grows, and our military is weakened. Marco Rubio has the background, experience, intelligence and integrity to turn things around. He has my absolute support. As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, he knows what it takes to grow this economy and create jobs. He's the only one candidate in this race who has proven to be able to find common grounds on trade. He will make our trade deals fairer by cutting taxes and regulations on our manufacturing industry, which will bring our manufacturing jobs back while allowing us to be competitive in the world economy and to keep our quest for open markets, and by lowering our corporate tax rate to 20 %, which will make America the best business-friendly environment in the world. President Marco Rubio will make the U.S. economy great again.

Now with the conventions over, and the Olympics beginning people's focuses are off the 2016 Election, but the candidates continue to hit the ground, stumping for votes across the country. While,
 most Americans have yet to finalize on a choice, given the crowded field, current polling finds Senator Rubio is rebuilding his lead he had prior to the Democratic Convention.

As the independent candidacy of Bernie Sanders weakens Democratic Nominee Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rubio has been the recipient in the polls. Rubio, however continues to go after Warren in hard hitting TV ads, running across the midwest and in the battleground states. Rubio is also shoring up his right flank, as Ron Paul continues to be a factor in some states, including Alaska.

Rubio, is also targeting disaffected Sanders supporters, by highlighting the revelations from the DNC email hack, which showed a concerted effort to undermine and derail the candidacy of Sanders during the Democratic Primary.

Warren, for her part has largely tried to remain above the fray when it comes to Sanders, but many Democrats are worried by avoiding Sanders is only giving him more stature in the election, and given the narrow margins in many critical Democratic states, including New York, many Democrats are calling on Warren to go after Sanders just as hard as Rubio.

Newly Released Poll:

Does the scandal involving Warren's contact with the DNC make you more or less likely to vote for her?

More: 35%
Less Likely: 47%

A newly released poll, conducted by CNN raises the stakes for Elizabeth Warren and the Democrats, as they continue to navigate the fallout from the DNC email leaks. This poll will likely give a big boost to Senator Sanders.
