Trump attacks McMahon in Boston, Las Vegas, and Charleston

*plays footage of McMahon being arrested with the script

“Is this who you want to be president?”

If I'm not mistaken, this is the only thing Trump has done during the primary season, lol.

I personally believe Trump should be declared withdrawn due to inactivity.

If it weren't for me being part of the Atlasian GM team, I'd offer to take over as Trump.

Next round? Want to see the final poll results for SC, as well as the results of the SC-primary...it's a must-win for Cooper (albeit not quite as much as it was for Biden in 2020 - but then, Biden was able to win SC in a landslide and here we're talking about Cooper winning it by only a few points).

McMahon as the presumptive nominee sure would make this a memorable TL lol. Of course, other Republicans may jump in later anyway.

McMahon as the nominee would actually just make the GE a cakewalk for the Democratic nominee...so the GE would actually be a lot less interesting. And even the primaries would be less exciting on the GOP side, since as the presumptive nominee, McMahon wouldn't campaign as much. If we want an exciting/memorable TL - the best solution is as things currently appear: a decent performance and active campaign by McMahon in the GOP primary to keep things exciting there (the Democratic primary is already very exciting IMO), but to have Trump (or somebody else, IDK, might be too late for that now) in the GE so the GE is legitimately reasonably competitive too.

There's also always the possibility of a strong independent/third party run to spice up the GE even with McMahon.

More interesting, and not too far-fetched, maybe: Democrat vs. Trump vs. an Independent/Third-Party McMahon. Though I suppose that'd give the Dems a solid advantage in the GE as well, since McMahon would draw votes from the Trump side / Republicans.

If Trump actually does withdraw, I don't even know how I would respond. But I know for certain that I would essentially get on my knees and beg for someone to join the game in the GOP primaries, and hopefully one of them would actually join and be active.

I'm prepared to give it one more turn, but if there is still no activity from Trump, I'll start looking for a new player.

On the way. I got hit with a particularly intense bout of depression recently so working through that.

Should we expect the State of the Race post to come soon after polls or a bit later in the turn?

If you need a Trump, I'd be happy to jump in.

Preemptively going to request an extension I will definitely be needing.

I have two tests in school tomorrow, and a quiz on Thursday, and will be gone all weekend (going down to Los Angeles to meet my aunt and uncle with family). Meaning that I won’t be able to really play until after school on Monday - so Monday evening at about 4:00 (CA time) is when I’ll be able to even start playing (and I won’t be able to get all the information down till Tuesday evening, quite possibly).

Okay, State of the Race post is now up. Polls are up. Turn is underway. Remember, Super Tuesday is not far off, so begin preparing as I prepare for detailed Super Tuesday plling next turn.

I'll echo CentristRepublican and ask for a formal extension on this turn, until at least Tuesday or Wednesday evening. This weekend did not allow me nearly as much time to work on the game as I initially expected due to family matters.

Okay, yeah, I'll need to extend things on my account too. I'll extend the turn by three days.

Just a *suggestion* (which should not be by any means misconstrued to be armchair-generalling or anything): Post Super Tuesday, you should make the states' delegates winner-take-all, or do something like, some proportion of the delegates are automatically given to the winner, while the rest are distributed proportional to the results (for instance, say 50% of the delegates automatically go to the winner of the primary, and the other 50% are distributed proportionally - then, say, if Cooper wins 60% in a state with 30 delegates, he'd first off immediately receive 50% of the 30 delegates - so 15 delegates - and then 60% of the remaining 50% of delegates - so another 9 delegates - to give him 24 delegates and give Harris/Kerry a total of 6). Because the way all the states are totally proportional, it's not having very much of an impact when Cooper loses three primaries in a row, since he's still all right in terms of delegate count, and when it is in fact proportional, there's not nearly as much of an impetus to win a state's primary when you realise that, really, it's a question of only a few delegates and not a lot of them. My advice personally would be to let Super Tuesday be mostly winner-take-all since that's the way it's been till now - with maybe a few a mixture of winner-take-all and proportional, as described above - but thereafter, start having the states be mostly a hybrid of winner-take-all and proportional, with a few of the most competitive states being complete winner-take-all (so there's a lot of pressure on Cooper/Harris/Kerry to extensively campaign, and to win in, those specific states - since there wouldn't be just a few delegates at stake, but all the state's thirty or forty or fifty or more delegates).

I think we've established that GoTfan does not want suggestions?
