President Forever results thread...

Worse thing is that after playing it for about 12 months you learn how to ace it even on hard mode. Saying that 2016 is very difficult as a GOP because you don't have enough influence points to get endorsements.

I've seen Jeb Bush win the nominee after getting 1% in Iowa and 4% in New hampshire

2016 GOP Primary

Carly Fiorina = Green
Marco Rubio = Blue
John Kasich  = Dark Maroon/Red
Mike Huckanee = Light Blue
Rand Paul = Dark Green
Bobby Jindal = Light Red

I played as Rubio, lost to Fiorina. Kasich's presence in the race killed off my campaign's surges. After winning NH, I was riding a wave of momentum, but then Kasich started carpetbagging me in the airwaves in SC, and other southern states. Forced me to abandon my leads in western states like UT, AZ, and CO to try and salvage leads in the South.

Fiorina then built up a unstoppable wall in the west. I was able to eventually crush Kasich by winning some northeastern states, but the damage had been done already and i started to fade. Huckabee also caused me problems but I beat him out in TX, NC, LA, and MS. I only lost AL (to Fiorina by like .5%) because he stole like 15% from me.

I am now playing as Fiorina in the general, w/ Rubio as VP.

Carly is killing it in the new update, she managed to take a clean sweep of the Northern Primary states in April even when I had the nomination virtually wrapped up

Clinton/Kaine- 366 Electoral votes, 52%
Bush/Pence- 172 Electoral votes, 48%

Poor Jeb! All major swing states apart from Nevada were up for play, with Jeb coming only 2% away in Michigan, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Arizona and Colorado 

[Blair]

Senator Robert Francis Kennedy/ Senator George Smathers- 265 Electoral votes: 42.5%

Fmr Vice President Richard Nixon/ Senator John Tower- 245 Electoral Votes: 42%

Governor George Wallace/ General Curtis LeMay- 28 Electoral Votes: 15.5%

I forgot how amazing President Forever is when your first play it-I've been playing it for so long that I expect O'Malley to win Iowa, and Jindal to win New Hampshire.

Darthebernc the best advice for PF is to fundraise like hell, and focus on the later states more so than Iowa and NH-to boast I've never lost either but I've often lost from spending too much time/Money on them.

[Blair]

Am I the only person who plays as one candidate?

[Blair]

how do people win a few states as third parties (not counting 1948 or 1968)? I always finish >20% in a few states but never enough to win a state

Managed to win Texas playing as Trump in a third party run-got 24% of the vote yet only 34 electoral votes

[Blair]

Such a weird map

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton/ Senator Tim Kaine- 49.5%

Senator Ted Cruz/ Mrs Carly Fiorina-50.5%

[Blair]

Anyone tried 1980 yet? New Scenario released

[Blair]

Is everybody else playing the 2016 primaries finding Martin O'Malley inexplicably nigh unbeatable in the early states?

I turn him and Webb off- the democrat field is broken. O'Malley always wins Iowa, NH, Nevada and then flames out

[Blair]

For the record 2012 is virtually impossible to win because Gingrich has such a big polling lead

[Blair]

Playing as Webb against Warren and Cuomo. I win every debate, and usually take IA and SC and sometimes NV with decent margins, but I always get destroyed on Super Tuesday. Any help?

Invest in 4-5 Super Tuesday states straight away, and make sure to do well in all states (the PR system for the Dem primaries means you can get destroyed; as Sanders did in RL in the South)

Basically from beginning you need to invest in the states

[Blair]

Has anyone found you no longer get TV appearances since the new update? Have they changed how to get them or something?

[Blair]

Has anyone stopped having the chance to do TV performances/interviews?
