Cooper frowned at Wright's comment toward him, looking to his left at Lime. Lime nodded, keeping his eyes turned toward the candidates. "Congressman Egilson, many have criticized you for what they perceive as your lack of devotion to the Republican Party. As I'm sure you know, once you become t...

Helowi wrote:I don’t understand the question that was asked, can you explain further?

Basically a pointed way of asking what qualifies you to be president.

Cooper looked back and forth between the politicians, then asked the next question — one carefully designed by a team of journalists to elicit a nice debate — before Wright could respond. "Congressman, you've been known to avoid questions about immigration — something many on both sides of the ...

Zjaum wrote:So, do people allow responses? What is the format of this debate?

I'll just assume I have enough time for a thirty-second response on both sides, then.

Yes, you can quote each other and debate to no end on any given question. As with RL presidential debates, nobody actually follows the rules.

“Governor, Senator, thank you.” Cooper looked down at a set of notecards in front of him. “Tonight’s debate will broadly ask two key areas of questions — about domestic policy on the one hand, and foreign policy on the other. Talking about the economy first, our first question is directed at both of...

Final Republican Primary Debate Hollywood Park Stadium | Los Angeles, California "Camera three. Jib up. Anthony, tell them to clap." The audience roared with applause, red and white lights flashing as Wright walked on stage. "And United States Senator, Gareth B. Wright." "T...

Helowi wrote:Are there gonna be any more news updates during the primaries?

Yes, and we’ll also do a debate on the forum between Wright and Egilson tomorrow and the day after.

Theo Guess is the presumptive Democratic nominee. There was an addition error somewhere in the total number of delegates, so California was subtracted 300 potential delegates (ICly they probably changed their primary date against party rules!). This did not change the final result. The Republican no...

Are the results gonna be tonight or is this RP dead? The results will be tonight. Sorry about not posting more news and polls and what not — I'm in the process of starting a business, which is of course time consuming. I will work on getting more news leading up to the conventions, and after the co...

As a presidential candidate, I'm afraid so. But once there are projected nominees, they'll pick from among people who have applied to be their running mates, so you can still do that. Or you can arrange with one of them right now to be a campaign manager/staffer/family member. Oh, I didn't realize ...

Cainesland wrote:Based on the last Republican vote, if there are only 77 delegates left, it seems like Egilson has won the Republican primaries. Is that correct?

Those are unpledged delegates, from candidates who dropped out, and from Colorado (and another state which I forget), which does not pledge delegates.

Could I also get an explanation of why Guess did so well in the South? Mainly just because I didn't expect to win so overwhelmingly there, especially because Clinton did much better than Sanders in the South in 2016, and as you stated Moderates are the main reason the South became Democratic again....

I don't think Egilson deserved that big of a lead. He focused the most on fundraising than the other candidates, but I don't think that edge (even in addition to the other edges my candidate has) would result in the majority of delegates. In my assessment, fundraising makes a campaign successful, a...

Here is where the Democratic results will come in. They will start coming in at 7pm EST and end around 10:30pm EST. The totals for Faulkner will be wonky for several hours because of a number error, but in general each state will be accurate on its own. Granted, it hasn't been tested, so it might n...

Pretty close. According to the calculator, California's population is 82,183,113 on Election Day, 2052. That's assuming a roughly linear population trend, when nations and societies around the world are showing a slowing of population as time continues. I assume that Mexican immigration slows as Me...

I just did some rough math to find out how many people California has in 2052: 80,459,750, that's like around a 6th of the whole country if we're going by saying the USA has 500 million people. Given that it is rough math though, it's likely Calfornia has even more people because California is unde...

Actually, question: when we're done with this RP (since we're sprinting towards the finish line), can we have a House-of-Cards-style RP with the same characters as key players? I think that has a number of good opportunities, and I'd be curious to see how people hold up to their campaign promises. ...

Sorry for not replying in a while. Last days of school took priority, and I was only able to access NationStates via phone which is very hard to write with here.
