America After Trump: An Election Game (Gameplay Thread)

Debate Responses

Opening Statement:
Hello, (city)! It’s so great to be here tonight to discuss the issues all of you and all of us care about so deeply. For those of you who don’t know me, I’ve been the Governor of Colorado for the past five years now. I am a husband to a wonderful man named Marlon, a father to two beautiful children, Caspian and Corah, and the first openly gay man elected to both the House and as Governor of a state. I’ve proudly served my state and my country in both those offices, and look forward to potentially serving them again as President. And I intend to serve them by bringing about much needed change: a Green New Deal to strengthen and protect our economy and our environment at the same time; a Medicare-for-All system to lift the insurance company’s boot from the consumer’s neck; and, most importantly, a reversal of SPLC v. Marshall, the greatest failing in the past few decades in the Supreme Court, followed by a New Bill of Rights that includes a woman’s right to control her own body, as well as my right to be married to the man I love.

General Question 1:
I’m aware of many of the concerns people have about coattails, and about how we supposedly have to run a moderate to keep the Senate and House from flipping back Republican, but the fact of the matter is that such statements just aren’t true. I won re-election last year as a progressive with no trouble at all. Tammy Baldwin, the Senator up for re-election in Wisconsin, is a strong progressive who was elected as an openly LGBT woman for the first time before Obergefell v. Hodges, and was re-elected six years ago in a state Donald Trump had won just two years prior. Furthermore, we are seeing more every day that immediate progressive change is the only way we can combat issues like climate change and conservative attacks on civil rights, and so I think a progressive will help us hold those key seats you mentioned, and expand our majorities, as well, as people recognize it’s now or never.

General Question 2:
I’ve made clear my support for the Green New Deal in the form that nearly passed in the House earlier this year. And I’m aware I’ve received criticism for being a latecomer to the party, as it were. When I ran for Governor in 2018, I looked at the reports from expert climatologists, and they suggested to me that incremental change was a feasible solution. But then new data came in. Climate scientists pushed their doomsday numbers forward to the point that, if we do not significantly cut our national and global CO2 output within this coming term, our planet will be irreversibly launched toward runaway climate change. With stakes that high, I made the decision, tough though it was, to take a harder stance on this issue. Because I have always supported the evidence, I continue to support the evidence, and I will always support the evidence which says that climate change is real and we need to act on it right now.

Personal Question:
Only insofar as my campaign remembers the icons of this community who came before us. From the Stonewall rioters, to those who fought misinformation during the 1980s AIDS epidemic, to Congressman Barney Frank, to Senator Tammy Baldwin, to Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the first major openly LGBT presidential contender just four years ago, to all of the hardworking LGBT men, women, and non-binaries who have, both in and out of the political limelight, put themselves forward and fought to advance the community they live and love in. So this campaign is dedicated to those people, to the people waiting to see if this will be the year we elect a gay President, and to all the LGBT people I hope and pray will grow up in an environment where they are accepted for who they are and judged only by their ethics and their willingness to work and fight for this great nation.

Closing Statement:
Well, it’s been an exciting night, folks. We’ve heard numerous different perspectives on the issues you need to know our stances on before you make a decision. I hope we’ve each been able to clarify our positions on those troubles facing America which we discussed tonight. However, if you’d like to know my positions on issues we didn’t get to tonight, and don’t want to wait until the next debate, then head on over to jaredpolis.com/issues and read up on where we want to take this country during my administration. And, if you like what you see, don’t be afraid to click that “Donate” button in the top right of your screen, or, even if you can’t help out that way, you can click the “Join Us” button or text BETTER to 76547, and stay updated on where we’ll be and how you can help out. We’d love to have you. Thank you to (venue) and (city) for hosting us tonight, and thank you to everyone who joined us in the audience and tuned in to watch us! God bless, and good night!

Kirsten Gillibrand Debate Answers

Kirsten Gillibrand by Gage Skidmore, on Flickr

Opening Statement:

"I want to start by thanking CNN, the audience, and the viewers at home for making this debate possible. Back in 2020, I ran for President because I believed that progress is possible and that we deserved better than the President we had. There's no denying that Joe Biden has been a much better President than Donald Trump was, but I do believe the President doesn't go far enough in his goals, as now is not the time for small ideas. Now is the time for us to finally begin the transition to Medicare for All, as no American deserves to go broke just because they get sick. Now is the time to push for anti-discrimination measures at the federal level, protecting our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. Now is the time for paid family leave, signaling that we value our caretakers.

We can't grow weary or complacent as we did in 2016 and take our progress for granted. As your nominee for President, I will fight tirelessly for your family as I would for my own. We will take on the power structures that skew benefits to the wealthy and away from the working class. We will fight against systemic racism in all its forms, including police brutality and economic racism. We will fight to make the minimum wage a living wage and ensure that reproductive healthcare is protected on the federal level. Your fight is my fight, thank you."

To ALL:  The Democrats are holding on to threadbare majorities in both Congressional houses, and face a daunting Senate map with multiple defensive struggles upcoming in Montana, Arizona, and Wisconsin, among others. How will you, as the leader of the ticket, ensure that Democrats can keep hold of the House and Senate in 2024 and beyond?

"It's not enough to win the White House this year, we also need to protect and expand our majorities to be sure that the next President can pass her policy plans. Since being elected, I have recognized the value of getting majorities elected, which is why I started Off the Sidelines to elect more Democratic women. As the nominee, I will campaign alongside my colleagues in Congress and share the infrastructure built on the national level to build upon Democratic majorities.

Democrats are at our best when we have a positive, inspirational message from our President, and that's what I will offer both as your nominee and as your President. When Americans feel that Congress is working for them and not special interests they're much more likely to get out and vote. Finally, I will tackle the hurdles that far-right interest groups have pushed Republican Governors and Secretaries of State to place to make voting harder. We will expand voting rights at the national level, work with states to pass vote by mail and no-excuse absentee voting, and pass automatic voter registration. This will tear down barriers that have existed to keep young people, people of color, and the economically disadvantaged from voting."

To ALL: The failure of the Green New Deal has reignited discussion within the Democratic Party as to how far Congress must go to combat climate change. We'd like you all to weigh in on this critical matter.

"We need a Green New Deal. This is not an issue that calls for small ideas that pick away at the problem, it calls for bold action right now. I believe passing a Green New Deal strikes a balance between ensuring the American workforce is adequately prepared for a carbon-neutral America and getting to that place. I'm sure we're all aware of the far-right talking points meant to besmirch an idea that most of America can get behind. I reject the idea that we should amplify those very talking points when debating the Green New Deal and climate change in general.

The truth is, a Green New Deal pushes the United States to mobilize to change our entire economy for the better, much like the New Deal before it. It pledges a carbon-neutral economy, with good-paying jobs and a standard of living for all Americans. I don't believe this is truly a controversial subject to most Americans, but most Americans don't rely on big oil to donate to their campaigns for office."

To Kirsten Gillibrand: You've served as a Representative and Senator for New York for many years, but you haven't held an executive office yet. How will you be prepared to take on the challenges of the Presidency from Day 1?

"What I bring to the table is a history of results, whether if it's passing the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act or extending limits on insider trading by members of Congress. I've been able to work with everyone from Bernie Sanders to Ted Cruz while I've been in the Senate, and I think that speaks to a record of success that is paramount in a President. As much as any of us would like to wave a wand and instantly pass our bill, we have to build coalitions and do the hard work in order to get anything done. I stand before you as someone who has done that hard work before, even against the forces of special interests and partisanship.

Being President isn't just a checklist of roles you've been in before, it's also about being willing to fight for the American people. Something I can promise every one of you is that I will fight on your behalf. I have the bravery it takes to stand up against gun manufacturers and push Congress to act on gun violence. I have the bravery to protect your right to autonomy over your reproductive healthcare. I have the bravery to fight against attempts to allow discrimination against LGBTQ people. That's the role of the President, and I'm ready for it."

Closing Statement: 

"I appreciate the opportunity to speak to Americans tonight up here with all of my colleagues and I will say, anyone on this stage would make a better President than any candidate the Republicans have to choose from. I hope this evening has helped you get a little closer to making a decision in this race. If you believe that the time for small ideas is over, you have a home with this campaign. If you believe that we need a President that will fight for your values and rights as hard as she'd fight for your family, you have a home with this campaign. And if you believe it's time for action on climate change, gun violence, and reproductive rights, you have a home with this campaign.

If you are fired up and ready for real progress, please go to kirstengillibrand.com and read my plans on the Reproductive Bill of Rights, the Green New Deal, and canceling student loan debt in greater detail. While you're there, don't be afraid to donate, as our campaign doesn't take any money from corporate PACs and is entirely grassroots-driven. I want to thank you all for tuning in tonight, thank you and God bless you."

Welcome, everyone, to the presidential debates for both parties! This is a national stage where the frontrunners must defend their positions and less known candidates can surge to the top with popular ideas and vigorous arguments. We at CNN (for Democrats) and Fox (for Republicans) are pleased to be hosting these events. The format for both debates is simple - all candidates will make opening and closing statements (where they can introduce themselves and make their cases for the nomination), and will answer some questions as well - both personal and group ones.

Democratic Debate

To ALL:  The Democrats are holding on to threadbare majorities in both Congressional houses, and face a daunting Senate map with multiple defensive struggles upcoming in Montana, Arizona, and Wisconsin, among others. How will you, as the leader of the ticket, ensure that Democrats can keep hold of the House and Senate in 2024 and beyond?

I believe that we have a platform that appeals not only to Democrats, but also Americans. I don't think there are many people who don't believe that the rich should pay more taxes, who don't believe that we need stronger gun control, that don't believe that people with pre-existing conditions shouldn't pay more for their healthcare. Also regarding the Senate, Senators Tester, Sinema, and Baldwin have all won in the past and all of them work hard for their states. All of them have a unique appeal to their state and I don't think that other candidates have that unique appeal.


To ALL: The failure of the Green New Deal has reignited discussion within the Democratic Party as to how far Congress must go to combat climate change. We'd like you all to weigh in on this critical matter.

I do believe that we need a Green New Deal. Time is running out, quite frankly, to deal with the climate crisis, and we need bold action. Now is not the time for us to settle for half-measures like cap-and-trade or a carbon tax, that time was 14 years ago. We need bold action to solve this crisis, and I would challenge the Republicans on this issue, we need to make clear that we are the party who will fight climate change and the Republicans will just call it a hoax while getting millions in donations from oil companies.

To Kamala Harris: You've become an early frontrunner, but more liberal elements in the party appear to be turned off by your candidacy, citing your history as a prosecutor and your more establishment politics. Prominent Rose Twitter commentators have threatened to vote third-party if you're nominated. How will you appeal to them in the primary and general?

Regarding my record as a prosecutor, I will note that it is more progressive than these commentators have noted. For instance, during a case involving the murder of a police officer, I refused to call for the death penalty for the murderer, even after, Senator Feinstein, who is now my colleague, called for the death penalty at the funeral of that police officer. The reason I didn't push for the death penalty is that I don't believe capital punishment is effective. Then as Attorney General, I targeted firms that participated in predatory lending. Also I will note that I am putting forth a progressive platform. I support a Green New Deal and believe that it is the only response to combat climate change. I support a slightly modified version of Medicare for All to attain the goal of universal healthcare. However, I believe we can do this by working within the system, not tearing it down. I think that my ties to the establishment make it likelier that I can push progressive change and progressive policies without them being blocked and stonewalled by the establishment.

Carly Fiorina Debate Answers

The Supreme Court, as well as the U.S House, delivered two major victories for conservatives in recent days by rejecting the Green New Deal and Roe v. Wade abortion protections (overturning a 2022 federal law). Do you fully applaud these decisions, or do you believe that more nuance was required?

I would like to say, these decisions are why it is so important we elect Republicans in both the Senate and the White House so we can continue to deliver victories for the nation and for the conservative agenda. Because of our Donald Trump and the Mitch McConnell, we were able to reject the Green New Deal which would flip our economy upside and destroy our midwest. We were also able to restore the sanity of life and restore the ability for the states to actually make decisions for themselves. I fully applaud these decisions because of the Supreme Court, we are fighting against federal overreach and fighting for the sanctity of life on the national stage

Though it's been three years, the influence of the 45th President over the party still remains. Do you believe that Trumpism is a positive force for the party, and America as a whole?

As we saw with the last few major decisions by the supreme court, President Trump's legacy is one that we still see today and is a positive effect on this country. I will be the first to admit that I was not the biggest Trump supporters but he has helped the country for the better and his legacy on both the party and nation have been overall positive. His legacy now includes taking down the Green New Deal and Roe V. Wade while it also includes fixing our broken tax code and helping to bring a business-focused approach back to the government. To that, I say thank you, President Trump!

Unlike your opponents, you've been willing to take a critical tone with President Trump's legacy. With 65% of the Republican Party approving of his job performance, how will you ensure that that doesn't take a toll on your campaign's popularity?

Look, I have been saying this all night, I am not the biggest fan of the former President but his legacy has helped both the party and the nation move to the future. I believe that his supporters do not support just him but support his plans and his legacy which is something I have built my campaign around even if I don't fully agree with the President on his personal life. I believe as I campaign about bringing the government back to the people, I believe Trump supporters will continue to support me because that was exactly his message and what he did in the White House.

AOC debate answers part 3

Q:The Democrats are holding on to threadbare majorities in both Congressional houses, and face a daunting Senate map with multiple defensive struggles upcoming in Montana, Arizona, and Wisconsin, among others. How will you, as the leader of the ticket, ensure that Democrats can keep hold of the House and Senate in 2024 and beyond?

A:We need to nominate and keep fighting for the working class members and voters.  That is why in 2016 we lost and in 2020 we were able to win.  We need to be able to reestablish that we are the party of the middle and working class.

We need to nominate more candidates that have backgrounds of ordinary people and not of wealthy donors.   That of a waitress at your favorite diner or of a driver of your local FedEx officer not a children or relative of someone wealthy like a certain someone in the GOP race!!

And as the leader of this party I will fight for that message!
