I think that really fades though

Right now its huge

In fifteen-twenty years running for Senate it a nice memory

In thirty+ running for President its just like McCain repeating his POW story two thousand times, its ancient history


Maybe not that bad but the boost from that is gonna slack off


Yes it would fade, but t's still a distinguishing feature that sets the both of them apart from anyone else, and that's important when talking about a big candidacy.

Must be kept in mind that there are plenty of people who adore McCain simply because of his POW story.

It's pretty far back. Use the search bar to find Noble. It'll be some of the first uses of the word.

Yeah, true enough

I see it basically as a nice add-on for the long run, but a game changer short term

Incumbency is a pretty big advantage if you don't screw things up. Seat warmers who vote the party line can stay in a long time in the House especially

Does that apply for Sunshine too?

You're definitely going to want to aim at suburbia if you can, Texas doesn't have a ton in the middle, but I think the 7th should be a pretty good fit with the backstory you have with him and maybe surviving 2018 after getting woke

Senate incumbents still have an edge over newbies but it's less than the House and less in general in swingy states

It was mostly aimed at Breckie, so Sarah keeps silent because she doesn't want to defend him. I expected more reactions from pubs.

Anyone wants to do interview with Schmidt to help me get a better grip of the character? I have an idea how to play him, but I could use some guided immersion.

It is fairly likely that a brawl erupts in the House or something.
