Happy Gilmore

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

It was a cold New Hampshire Night. The wind was blowing as a few snowflakes trickled down. A big moment had just happened. All hell was gonna break loose because of this. One man, along with his family took to the stage. This was no dream...



"Now, just a few months ago, we were at zero in the polls, not allowed in the debates. We got consistent calls to drop out of the race. Now look where we are. People want a leader who has true experience, real hope and change. And I promise to all of you tonight, that when I am in the White House I will fight for all of you! Thank you and God Bless you all! God Bless New Hampshire and God Bless the United States of America!".






Gov. Jim Gilmore: 26%
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson: 20%
Sen. Marco Rubio: 18%%
CEO Donald Trump: 10%
Sen. Ted Cruz: 10%
Gov. Jeb Bush: 6%
Gov. Chris Christie: 4%
Sen. Lindsey Graham: 2%



Christie announcing withdrawal in Manchester, NH.

"Now we gave it our all but the people of New Hampshire had their say. It's sad that I have to drop out, I'm sad that I didn't impress everyone but we ran a great campaign. I enjoyed talking to the American people. I endorse no one at this time. I wish well to all of the candidates and I will endorse someone later. My time in national politics isn't over. I won't sit down and shut up."

Wolf Blitzer: And there we have it. Christie drops out, Gilmore wins. What's to happen next?

Wolf Blitzer: Stunning results out of Iowa... Texas Senator Ted Cruz wins the contest in a walk. He has seen a surge in polling in the past few weeks. This is expected to knock alot of people out of the race. Former frontrunners Donald Trump and Ben Carson struggled to get much attention out here, which isn't good for the long run. Maybe their campaigns ended tonight.



Rick Santorum HQ: "Although it's sad we didn't make it to the finish line, we went down with dignity. I have no place in this race anymore yet we fought hard, and I'm proud of that. I endorse fellow conservative Ted Cruz and encourage all others to do the same. I hope I will be of use to my party in the coming weeks. Thank you. God Bless Iowa, God Bless America!"

Mike Huckabee HQ:





"We all know what I'm about to say. We proved the pundits wrong and got a good amount of the vote here in Iowa. I thank the people of Iowa, this is democracy in action. I endorse Senator Ted Cruz because he is one of democracy and justice. I'll finally get to go back to my home in Arkansas and eat some fine ol' grits and shoot my rifle. Thank y'all. God bless."

February 2nd, 2016


Bobby Jindal dropping out of the race in Baton Rogue, Louisiana.


"Now my friends, we did good. I sadly have to drop out of the presidential race, however as all other candidates, I'll be active in politics. Speaking of which, I'll be exploring a run for the U.S senate seat vacated by Newly elected Governor David Vitter. Thank y'all, God bless!".


Rand Paul drops out in Louisville, Kentucky.

"Hello my fellow liberty and justice lovers. We didn't win but we did okay. We proved that there ARE liberty lovers in this great nation. I endorse Senator Ted Cruz for presidency, I will focus my efforts on re-election to the United States senate. Thank you all for supporting my campaign, thank you and God Bless Liberty, y'all and the United States of America.".

Chris Matthews: There you have it folks, two candidates drop out of the GOP race after poor showings in Iowa. What's next for the GOP? Most of it's evangelicals dropped out.

I don't see Kasich mentioned in the Iowa results. What happened to him?

I don't see Kasich mentioned in the Iowa results. What happened to him?

ooc: He imploded on himself. He dropped out in late December. The reason I did this was because Gilmore had to win NH, that was his whole campaign strategy, sorry I like Kasich too XD

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Jim Gilmore saw a surge of polling following his victory in New Hampshire. He was polling third behind Cruz and Rubio. Gilmore was invited to the February 13th debate. Gilmore shined, he appeared intelligent and knowledgeable on foreign policy. On February 14th, Graham, after not being invited to any of the debates, dropped out. He cited poor fundraising and low poll numbers.


Graham drops out in Charleston, SC.

"Now my fellow South Carolinians, Americans, human beings on this Earth. I'd like to begin by thanking everyone who came here. But down to the point, we're doing bad. We're low on money, bad in the polls, we just can't win. So I must suspend my campaign. But.... there is one candidate who is qualified for this office. One who has a clear, bold view for foreign policy... That man is Jim Gilmore! Thank you all. God Bless! I'll be voting for Jim and going back to the Senate! Bye!"

The race was on for South Carolina. Gilmore was tied with Cruz and Carson, everyone was in the margin of error. This state would likely determine the state of the race and the future of the nation. It was a cold February night in South Carolina....



South Carolina Republican Primary Results (100% in):

Gov. Jim Gilmore: 29%
Sen. Ted Cruz: 20%
Sen. Marco Rubio: 18%
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson: 15%
CEO Donald Trump: 10%
Gov. Jeb Bush: 6%
CEO Carly Fiorina: 2%

Immediately after South Carolina went for Gilmore.... Bush dropped out. It was a political shock.... But what was more shocking was who he endorsed...


Former Governor Jeb Bush drops out in Charleston, SC.

"Now hello South Carolina. Although we lost the caucus, we haven't lost our cause of a right to rise. I see a candidate who knows of the American Dream. Who knows that everyone has the right to rise. I am dropping out of the race and endorsing my friend, Jim Gilmore. I wish we won but we did good. I thank all of my staff, voters, the American people, especially my family though. They helped me get through alot. C'yall, I'll be votin' for Jim!".

It was February 24th, 2016. Jim Gilmore was leading in the polls. It was astonishing, a man who last held executive office fifteen years ago was now running for the White House.... and winning. Carly Fiorina had no choice but to drop out, however she still wanted a Rubio victory, for a potential veep slot.


Carly Fiorina drops out in Los Angeles, California

Wolf Blitzer: We're getting something very important from Mrs. Firoina in LA, take us to the live footage!

"Hello Americans, my Californians, my supporters. Today is a great day. It marks a fresh beginning and the end of an old era. Unfortunately, I haven't made much impact running for the White House. That's why I'm dropping out of the race and endorsing..... SENATOR MARCO RUBIO! Vote for him, he is a true conservative unlike Gilmore and the res of the pack. I'll be running for Senate in order to spread the message of conservative values. Please support me in this great endeavor! Thank you all! God bless you all!"

 

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

The race for the White House was on. Happy Gilmore was campaigning hard in Nevada, but then...

"Hello my fellow Nevadans. I have a very important announcement... I have seen that candidate Marco Rubio has fought for conservative values over and over again. That is why I am announcing... I am endorsing MARCO RUBIO for the presidency!"

Rubio's poll numbers immediately took over Gilmore's in Nevada. It looked as if this were going all the way to the convention..




NEVADA RESULTS (100% in):

Sen. Marco Rubio: 39%
Gov. Jim Gilmore: 35%
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson: 10%
Sen. Ted Cruz: 10%
CEO Donald Trump: 4%



Donald Trump: "Good evening my fellow Nevadans and Americans. Tonight, I sadly must drop out of the presidential race. The republicans didn't treat me fairly and I'm sure we would have won without all this media scrutiny. That is why today, I am announcing an exploratory committee for me to seek the Presidency on an independent platform. Thank you all and goodnight! God Bless the United States of America!"
