War for America - An (Alternate) 2016 Election Game

Summary: Based off my surprisingly smash hit of a Timeline "A New Blue Dog for America's Health" (Here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=281052.0), it is the year 2015 and the impressive Presidency of Phil Bredesen has gone by Eventfully and now he is no Longer eligible to run for Office, With both parties hoping to get their own Candidate in the White House.

For the Democrats, currently, with the current President not being allowed to run for another term. With the Vice President, SOS, SOT, and Senator Bernie Sanders taking prominent roles in the Leadership of the party, it seems that the party may have to discover new leadership. With this in mind, the new leader does certainly look to be an establishment Candidate from either the Administration or Congress.

For the Republicans, after two big landslide defeats, they are completely shattered with both outsiders and Establishment Candidates vying for control for the party. With the GOP totally divided, anyone could become the Nominee. The question is, will they be able to re-unite a destroyed party.

With both parties getting ready for war, could a Third Party be able to sneak through and win?

(Things that happen in this game might be retconned in the TL, but everything that happens here will be it's own separate timeline from the TL once it starts)

I'll be taking from the rules and format of the 2012 Election Game but I'll sprinkle in some of my own as well.

My own rules: Turns are 72 Hours long with an additional 24 hours if needed.

Games starts in September of 2015

Endorsements can help boost poll performances somewhat better.

I hope to have this game start by Monday and here are the potential candidates:

Vice President Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) [MyCool]
Missouri SOS Jason Kander (D-MO) [loganzombieoftime]
