DONALD TRUMP JR DEBATE ANSWERS
Opening statement-

Hello! Chris thank you so much for moderating, and welcome to the other candidates, thanks for attending. Debates are an essential part of American democracy, they allow everyone to have their voices heard. America, this election is crucial. This coming year we have one of THE most important elections in the history of this great country. An election for not only president but to determine the FUTURE of America, a battle for the soul of this very nation. One nation, United under God. Four years ago the election was RIPPED from my father, and one of the great American presidents Donald J Trump. We can’t allow this. We must take back the White House, and restore the heart of this nation. We will bring back jobs, reconstruct our infrastructure, give our youth the best possible education and future. Make care easier for our Wonderful, wonderful veterans to access. We will grow our military, and we will take america back. To join this message or campaign, you can go to DonaldTrumpJr.Com, Takeamericaback.com, and all my social media. Thank you and I look forward to this debate here tonight.

1. Ted Cruz has endorsed you, despite your father attacking his parentage and family during the 2016 campaign. Do you believe you will be able to maintain better relationships with politicians than he did?

Chris, thank you for that question! I believe I will. So. Look. My father is a great man, he truly is, but I’m not my father. You can see from my endorsements that I do have a better relationship with the folks in Washington. Senator Cruz is a great man and an even better senator, and I am very happy to have gotten his support. My father said some things in 2016 about Ted that were not really true, and I’m not my father and due to this we will have certain things done differently. For instance, if a cabinet member disagrees with me I will not just fire them, I will attempt to work it out. It’s imperative.

2. What are your specific solutions for cutting the deficit and paying the national debt?

first of all, cutting all this useless spending. We really do not need to spend so much on useless stuff. But we will try our best to fix the debt through cutting spending, attempting to balance the budget, because really so much of this spending is ridiculous, I’m a businessman. Just like Mike up here. We know how money works, and Mike if I’m the nominee I see a place for you at commerce or treasury!

Closing statement-

Do you all care about America? About our youth? Our veterans? Our military? Ladies and gentlemen I think it’s clear that Americans need someone new. Not Harris, not Brown. We need to rally together and support whoever the Republican nominee is, I’m calling for all of you other candidates to sign the referendum to support whoever this great party nominates. God bless all of you people out there and God bless America.

Our youth are so important and so significant, you guys and gals are the future of America and sadly the democrats are NOT acknowledging all of you. If you are not registered to vote please do it.

Turn 3 - August 2023

Democratic polls -

Vice President Harris - 58%

Senator Brown - 42%

Republican polls -

Fmr. Ambassador Haley - 42%

Mr. Trump Jr. - 31%

These polls are taken at the beginning of the month and do not reflect later in-game events from that turn (important for this turn in particular)

IN-GAME EVENTS

New evidence found suggesting Hunter Biden was bribed by Ukrainians

A scandal many on Fox News dramatically called bigger than Watergate, a report of a private investigator was leaked revealing that Hunter Biden was bribed by businessmen in Ukraine during his time at Burisma. Furthermore, several text messages between Hunter and his father, President Biden, were leaked that were interpreted by conservative pundits as showing Biden knowing about the illegal affairs of his son. For his part, Joe Biden has denied any wrongdoings and expressed again how proud he was of his son.

Big Backlash against Biden WH and Democrats following the new Hunter scandal

However, the effects this new scandal would have upon the White House would soon become clear. The House and Senate dropped any efforts to cooperate with the Administration, even as minor as they were in the first place, and turned their focus on investigating the Hunter Biden scandal and trying to tie Joe Biden to it. Speaker McCarthy even threatened to indict the President, however it is unlikely for him to be able to do that.

The polls were just as merciless. The approval ratings of the President have dropped, depending on the pollster, by 5-10% and went into the negative for the first time in 2023. And Democratic candidates in the 2023 races have seen their numbers collapse, with Scott and Landry opening up big leads and Adams closing on Beshear. Pundits disagree on whether this is a temporary development. And many in the campaign of the Vice President have privately expressed concern behind closed doors about how Democrats may start wanting to nominate someone more distant from the WH.

[NewYorkExpress]

Kamala Harris.

I do not believe it would be appropriate for me to continue with a Presidential campaign, with the President under active investigation.

As such, I am suspending my campaign for President, effective immediately.

I will spend my remaining days as Vice President defending this administration from the Republican witch hunt.

[Devout Centrist]

"Absolutely sick stuff coming out about Biden and his son! A total con job! Billions of dollars stolen from people! It's exactly what I've been saying since day 1 folks. He's corrupt like you wouldn't believe

And I guarantee you, Kamala knew all about it. A lot of people are saying she's got stolen billions of dollars in stolen money hidden in foreign bank accounts. We're gonna be asking her a lot of tough questions about this scam. She should be in jail!

They all knew folks. Sherry, Kamala, they're all bought and paid for."

[S019]

Mike Pence Campaign Statement


I believe that Mr. Lindell's candidacy is a dangerous threat to our party and he must be stopped at all costs, so I am dropping out and endorsing Ms. Haley, as she represents the conservative vision that this country needs. I encourage my supporters to back her.

[RGM2609]

BREAKING - Democratic Party unites around Sherrod Brown following Hunter Biden bombshell

Probably the most clear loser from the Hunter Biden scandals, even more than Joe Biden himself or down-ballot Democrats, is Kamala Harris. The Democratic front-runner has had to end her campaign following the bombshell, leaving Sherrod Brown as the presumptive Democratic nominee.

While most party operatives and officials were privately hoping for a Harris victory before the scandal, now they are trying to stick around Brown to prevent a bloodbath in 2024. Behind closed doors, they say that they are fine with the Ohio Senator, who is probably better positioned to win the General Election as he is from the Midwest and uninvolved with the Biden controversies. Both the Socialists and the Moderates are happy with this outcome, while the establishment is disappointed but decided that Brown is the least-bad option for the future of the party. The Democrats enter the campaign united.

Meanwhile, according to POLITICO, Brown is already considering multiple VP choices, all of them women. The women considered are Former Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, former Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and HUD Secretary Keisha Lance Bottoms. However, an announcement is not expected on the Vice Presidential pick anytime soon.

[Devout Centrist]

"How about that folks! Less than two months into this thing and we've managed to get Kamala and her corrupt buddies to quit. You love to see it!

I am taking full and complete credit for forcing Kamala out of the race for President. We were very tough on her, very tough. And now she's gone! It's a beautiful thing folks and we're one stop closer to taking this country back from the corrupt keyboard typers.

Now it's Sherry's turn people! He says a lot of nice things about trade and jobs, but he's a total fraud and a nasty liar. You look at the stuff he's done and the money he's taken. It's all a total scam. He's accepted millions from the tech bros, half a million from the Pharma Men. He's as corrupt as the rest of them. They bought his soul and he will sell this country out in a heartbeat!

He hasn't got a clue. No leadership skills from this one! No skills at all! We may have been better off with Kamala, at least she knew how to make corrupt deals! Sherry will get destroyed by China on day 1 and our country will look way worse than it already does."

Sherrod Brown schedule for August 2020

August 1-15: With a lack of challengers, Brown immediately made way to campaign in the 2023 elections. His first stop was Vermont, where he would campaign for the Democratic candidate Rebecca Holcombe. He repeatedly made the point that a Supreme Court seat was on the line, and invoked the legacy of Bernie Sanders, at one point urging a crowd in Burlington to "Do it for Bernie!"

In addition, Brown reallocated several hundred thousand dollars from his campaign to the DSCC's campaign efforts in Vermont, as well as sending his list of small donors to them.

August 16-20: These days were spent campaigning for the re-election of Governor Andy Beshear in Kentucky. Brown appeared at several rallies for the incumbent, again reallocating his money to the DGA's efforts in the state. Front and centre was Beshear's support of educators and other labour unions in the state. He would also attempt to rally support for Beshear from working class voters, a group Brown has a special affinity with given his background in the Senate.


Agust 21-25: Brown travelled to Louisiana to campaign for Democratic nominee Dartnayon Williams. Again, Brown campaigned heavily among working class voters concentrated in mainly urban areas, while also occasionally heading out to rural areas. Again, the cnetre of Brown's campaign efforts was economic populism, particularly labelling the Republicans fake populists who gave lip service to the working class, then went and cut taxes for the people at the top.

August 26-31: The last days of the month were spent strategising for the general election. Brown has continuously refused to call himself the Presumptive Nominee with not even a single vote cast, but has invested in campaign infrastructure in Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.

Response to the passing of Senator Sanders:

The latest news from Syria is deeply dissapointing. This administration has clearly failed to keep Assad in check. He is a brutal thug who we need to be more tough on as a country. I will stand up for democracy overseas and make sure Assad does not have free reign.

August 27th: Travel to Provo, Utah and take question from reporters on arrival.

Response to Hunter Biden news and Kamala Harris dropping out:
The latest revelations about the president's son are deeply disturbing. We must investigate these claims and see if the president knew of his son's actions. If he did, I believe he should be removed from office. I respect Vice President Harris's decision to drop out of the race and congratulate Senator Brown on his presumptive nomination. I am excited to meet him on the debate stage next year.

August 28th: Take the Utah Light Rail. Rally with Governor Spencer Cox at Vivint Smart Home Arena
August 29th: Travel to Reno, Nevada

Statement on Hunter Biden revelations

It is disturbing for any elected official in any capactiy to be engaged in textbook corruption of this level. These accusations deserve to be investigated thoroughly. Now is not the time to play politics; we cannot apply one standard to the Republicans and another to our fellow Democrats.

Turn 4 - September 2023

Republican polls -

Fmr. Ambassador Haley - 45%

Mr. Lindell - 28%

Mr. Trump Jr. - 27%

[RGM2609]

SECOND REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
Tucker Carlson - Good evening, I am Tucker Carlson and I will be moderating the second Republican Presidential Debate here in Phoenix, Arizona. I am here with Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, Businessman Mike Lindell and Businessman Donald Trump Jr. Candidates will give an opening statement, answer two specific questions, and give a closing statement. So, without further ado, let's start.

Specific Questions -

To Former Ambassador Haley -

1. Will you push for a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare and if so, what would that plan contain?

2. Democratic Super PACs, seemingly worried about having to fight the General Election against you, have already released hundreds of ads airing in swing states right now, claiming that you are so hawkish that you would invade Palestine, North Korea and Syria, leading to more never-ending wars. What is your response?

To Mr. Lindell -

1. Is it true that in 2020 you have paid for the bailout of Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse and if so, why would you do that?

2. Given how relentlessly you have attacked Ambassador Haley in the past few weeks, will you still endorse her if she is the Republican nominee?

To Mr. Trump Jr. -

1. Polling seems to suggest that many supporters of former President Trump are starting to give a closer look to Mike Lindell and his campaign. Why are you a better candidate to win the General Election and then to govern?

2. Do you plan to release a list of potential Supreme Court nominees, especially given the current vacancy that Mitch McConnell has stopped any negotiation about after the Hunter Biden scandal?

[Devout Centrist]

Opening Statement

“Good evening folks, what a beautiful night to be with all of you. Really, truly, beautiful.

Look at what a difference one month makes! We forced Kamala and her corrupt campaign out of the race! We’ve got Biden and Kamala dead to rights, people. They robbed us of billions of, billions of dollars. They stole the checkbook and tried to sell us down the river. Nasty stuff! Thank god we got those emails, didn’t we folks?

We’re one step closer to the White House, our opponents are losing like you wouldn’t believe. Tucker, I’m here right now fighting for the people of this country. We’re gonna take back America. No more pill pushers, no more tech bros, you can sure as hell bet the keyboard typers are gone on day 1! No more corrupt deals! No more lies! We need to be winning again people!

And that’s what I’m gonna do. We got the tools to succeed right now. We can give every hardworking American a decent life right now. No one’s gonna be starving on our streets. Tucker, I can guarantee you that. And we’re gonna back the blue 100%. No more violent thugs, no more pill pushers, no more hunger. It’s a beautiful deal folks and we’re gonna make America the greatest place on earth once again.”

1. Is it true that in 2020 you have paid for the bailout of Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse and if so, why would you do that?

“Everyone has a right to a fair trial, Tucker. We live in America and that’s why this is such a great place. No matter what you do, you get your day in court. It’s a beautiful thing. Kyle, you know, he did some things that were not so great. Believe me, some of those things were not perfect. But we’ve got to give people a fair shot in Court. We can’t just toss them to the wolves. Kyle got a fair trial and I stepped in to make sure that happened.

And look, we got a broken court system in this country. Lots of people go to jail without having their day in court. It’s because these dirty lawyers and prosecutors, who are very corrupt Tucker, they get to make corrupt deals like you wouldn’t believe. They’re called plea deals and they’re insane. On one side, you get a guy who hits a parked car and gets ten years in prison. Then you get a guy who’s a violent criminal thug, he shoots a little old lady, and he gets 30 days in the county jail. It’s a total scam and these deals have ruined so many good lives while letting the real criminals get away with murder.

These lawyers are selling folks down the river to get a quick payday. It’s sick, Tucker. We got to make sure that everyone gets their day in court. I will go in there and fight for every American’s right to a fair trial. Everyone has a right to it, but these corrupt DAs and lawyers, they’re putting thousands of people in jail without a fair trial! We’re gonna stop this dirty corruption dead in its tracks.”

2. Given how relentlessly you have attacked Ambassador Haley in the past few weeks, will you still endorse her if she is the Republican nominee?

“I will endorse the person that has the best shot at winning, Tucker. And that’s me. I’m not endorsing someone who’s a lightweight, Tucker. You have to be a leader to be President. And she doesn’t have that skill.

You look at Haley’s past and there’s a lot of nasty stuff back there. She got paid millions by foreign corporations while she was in charge of South Carolina, she got dozens of free flights on corporate private jets, she stabbed Trump in the back, you name it! What the hell was going on? All these executives come to Columbia and they tell her, “Nikki, Nikki, please baby, we need you!” and it’s like they totally own her! She gets on their private jet and abandons the people of her state because she knows these people are paying her millions! It’s very corrupt stuff, you know. She resigned the day before the big investigation into these corrupt deals started! It’s shady as hell and no one is asking her any questions about it.

A lot of people are saying that these corporations gave her money to come out against Trump. We need to be investigating this stuff very closely. You know, you look at what’s going on to Kamala and there’s some evidence that Nikki is involved too. Very bad stuff, folks.

I endorse winners. I endorse leaders. I support people who prove themselves. Nikki, she is 100% bought by the keyboard typers. Why do you think VIP Mike dropped out and endorsed her? It’s a corrupt deal, folks. She thinks she’s gonna walk to the nomination now! We gotta stand up to this nonsense right here, right now.”

Closing Statement

“When I started this campaign, the polls had me at zero percent! Everyone in the national media was laughing at me, at the message we have. Look at how wrong they’ve been! We’ve gained something like 25 points in thirty days. Absolutely insane stuff, no one has ever seen anything like it, not since Trump! And we’re only going up, folks. We are running a campaign for all Americans. Everyone is sick of the corrupt deals and the bad people ruining this country! We’ve got a chance to take this country back, Tucker, and that’s just what we’re gonna do.

People watching at home, I want you to get on the phone, get on the Facebook and the Twitter, and talk to your neighbors, talk to your friends, talk to everyone! We are moving forward as one country, one people! I am not here to divide Americans, I’m here to unite people! We have the power to build a better country and we can do it! It’s gonna be amazing stuff folks. We will take down the corrupt, we will take down the powerful, and we will take down the people who have sold our country out. It’s gonna be beautiful!”

[Left Wing]

First let me thank Fox News for hosting this debate and I thank my fellow candidates for attending. Folks, you are going to hear a lot of things from opponents tonight. Not too much of it is going to be true. They're going to offer vague statements about the problems, but they're going to offer solutions. They are going to act like they can wave their hand and make all the problems go away. They can't. We can't go down a route of poorly thought-out policy. We need to elect a Republican nominee who can bring the fight to the Democrats, not engage in the same kind of foolishness as them. If I am elected as president, I will bring that fight to them, every, single day.

Specific Questions -

To Former Ambassador Haley -

1. Will you push for a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare and if so, what would that plan contain?

I will pursue a repeal and replacement of Obamacare as president. Now the left wing media is going to take the quote of context and say that I want to throw people off of their healthcare, I don't want to throw anyone off their healthcare. But simply put, Obamacare was extremely mismanaged and we need a new system. That system will cut red tape for insurers to lower the price of care and keep the market competitive while making sure people with pre-existing conditions are covered. That is the kind of common sense market-based plan that congress will pass and I will sign as president.

2. Democratic Super PACs, seemingly worried about having to fight the General Election against you, have already released hundreds of ads airing in swing states right now, claiming that you are so hawkish that you would invade Palestine, North Korea and Syria, leading to more never-ending wars. What is your response?

Tucker, this is simply ridiculous. I have never called for invading any of the places you mentioned nor would I pursue war as president. Only a fool would do that. I am merely concerned at the Biden administrations tepid attempts to fight back against authoritarianism. They need to understand there is a middle ground between cutting ourselves off and going to war around the world. America was once a beacon of hope to the world but the Biden administration has put an end to that. I'm going to restore ourselves as that beacon when I win this election.

Closing Statement:

If we're going to defeat Sherrod Brown, we're going to need sanity. If we're going to defeat Sherrod Brown, we're going to need to get real with the American people. My opponents just don't understand how to do that. Mr. Lindell spread a fake cure for the coronavirus, putting our citizen's lives at risk. He can't honestly get up here and say he cares about the American people. Mr. Trump junior talks a big game, but what has he done? He inherited everything his father worked so hard to build, he never had to work a day in his life. I am the only person on this stage who has held elected office, who has been up there in government fighting for conservative values. My opponents have just been sitting around, complaining their whole lives. I don't complain, I get to work. Thank you.

"I built a business. I hire people. I work for a living. Haley, she's been in politics since the beginning, getting free meals from the gravy train ever since. She is 100% bought by the foreign corporations. You really think you can trust someone who's been with the keyboard typers for thirty years? It's laughable. If you elect her, she won't be able to get anything done. No leadership!"

TOWN HALL WITH PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE SHERROD BROWN

Question - What is your opinion about the scandal surrounding Joe and Hunter Biden? Do you believe that Biden should resign or that the Republicans have overreacted by focusing the entire Congressional activity on the investigation?

Brown - It's definitely a cause for concern and should be investigated to the fullest extent. We can't simply give a pass to someone because they're on our side or in our party. In fact, then it is even more vital that we hold people to account. What happened with the Biden scandal is definitely worthy of an investigation and any needed follow ups.

My issues with this is, as you said, Republicans have halted nearly all Congressional activity to focus on this one issue. The approval rating of Congress has been in the doldrums for over twenty years now because of things like this. By all means, this should be investigated, but not at the expense of other necessary Congressional work, because at that point you run the risk of falling into a partisan trap.

Question - What would be your 3 biggest priorities as President?

Brown - I'm from the working class of this nation, and my priorities reflect that. The first thing that needs to be done is creating a living wage; $15 an hour minimum for everyone regardless of occupation. As it is, if the minimum wage had been tied to inflation in the 1960s, it would be over $20 an hour by now. We cannot expect people to live on the borderling starvation wages that they are right now. We had record numbers of people turn to food banks during the COVID-19 Pandemic because they were laid off and between rent, bills and education, had no money to buy food. We cannot let a situation like that happen again. Moreover, a high minimum wage encourages more spending, which will boost the economy immeasurably. We can introduce tax breaks for small businesses who would otherwise struggle to stay open under a $15 wage.

Second, we must repeal the labor-killing Taft-Hartley Act. This is a bill that has allowed the right wing of this country to systematically crush organised labor all across the United States and prevent workers from organising for their rights. You know that in the Nordic countries, the labor unions are so strong they don't need to mandate a minimum wage? Thanks to unions, we have child labor laws, overtime pay, OSHA legislation, and more. Taft-Hartley has given free reign to union-busting Republicans and thier big business buddies to crack down on workers. It must be repealed without delay.

Third, we need to revive American manufacturing. There is no better way of doing this than a nationwide infrastructure program sourcing materials from America manufacturers. My Rebuild America Plan will revolutionise our energy grid and trasnportation system by speeding up our transition to renewable energy and modernising public transit across the country.

As an additional benefit of investing in our long-neglected public transport system, we will also cut down on carbon emissions and help fight climate change. Republicans like to try and force a dichotomy on this. Either it's the economy or it's the environment. The fact is that Republicans' refusal to embrace renewable energy is actively harming the economy, so in the end it's a false choice. Revolutionising our energy and trasport systems to be cleaner and greener will create hundreds and thousands of new jobs and cut our carbon emissions drastically.

Question - Given that you are a Senator, do you have a plan to pass a progressive agenda through a Senate led by Mitch McConnell?

Brown - I believe there are Republicans we are capable of working with. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney all spring to mind. My friend Rob Portman is also open to working across the aisle. We can provide several states with benefits from our infrastructure programs and small business tax breaks, which will increase pressure on Republicans to at least partiall support what we're doing.

In the end, we must continue push our arguments on infrastructure and the minimum wage, because both are proven winners with the public, who will in turn put pressure on their Senators to support parts of our agenda.

Question - The chances of a Democratic victory in 2024 have lowered after the Biden scandal. What is your path to 270 against both Nikki Haley and Mike Lindell?

Brown -  I don't want to get into this sort of speculation too early. Not a single vote has been cast for President in 2024 yet, and a lot can change over such a long campaign cycle. We all thought Hillary would win easily in 2016. Few predicted COVID-19 wreaking havoc on the world in 2020 and part of 2021.

However, the Democratic path to the White House rests on winning over working class voters of all colors and creeds. We have a Democratic Party to speak up for the poor and the less fortunate. They support our plans on the minimum wage, on taxing Wall Street and on supporting unions and police reform. We have for too long capitulated on this front to Republicans. No more.

Question - Some Republican PACs have started airing attack ads in swing states against you. A lot of them seek to convince Americans that you are similar in beliefs with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and that you would let the Squad dictate government policies. What is your response?

Brown - I have immense repsect for Alexandria and her other associates, such as Ayanna Pressley and Jamaal Bowman. They're all strong progressives who represent a younger generation that's fed up with politics as usual and wants to make the government work for us again. The idea that they're a dangerous group of radicals only comes up if you happen to believe that raising the minimum wage, investing in renewable energy, reducing our military budget, policing Wall Street, rebuilding our infrastructure and supporting workers is dangerous. I do not believe that for a second.

Moreover, I am disturbed at the nature of which some of these members of Congress have been targeted over the years. Alexandria has received enough death threats over the years to warrant a larger decurity detail that most members of Congress. The fact remains that some Republicans have an odd obsession with a 32 year old Congresswoman. It's actually somewhat amusing to watch her get under their skin by merely existing.

My stands on my policies are my own, and they have been forged from my upbringing in the working class of the United States. It is ludicrous to think that anyone will dictate policy to me, especially when this is coming from a party that has policies dictated to it by the oil industry and Wall Street.
