"Then of course you do understand there are Republicans in the rust belt do you not? There are also Republicans against free trade as well, you have Ohio's 12 Republicans, Indiana's 7 Republicans, Pennsylvania's 13 Republians, Michigan's 9 Republicans, and more Republicans here and there who oppose free trade enough to cover for any Democratic defectors, along with the near certainty that they lose at least 5 seats in the house this year. That is more than enough to pass it in the house."

"I'll grant you that, Danders, but let's talk about the Senate. This bill didn't get shot down by Republicans, it got shot down by Democrats. You say you can control them. I say I doubt it. You're still a kid, Danders, from a tiny state with no legislative experience. You're almost a pariah in your own party. I don't see connections, influence, or experience. It makes me.wonder just what you can use to bring them in line."

"I have legislative experience as the majority whip in the Vermont House of Representatives, but you really think the Democrats will allow their party to fracture further by voting against their presidential nominee? Let us say I get 40 Democrats to vote for PARAMA, not too many of them will vote against their presidential nominee in fear of breaking apart the party, I do not see many more voting against it. Then let us add in Senator Egazarian, and Senator Gonzalez, along with Indiana's two, Ohio's Republican, you, Wisconsin's Republican senator, the two Republicans from West Virginia, and Kentucky's 2 Republicans, and we are 51."

"Well Chandler you say you want to serve this country, and want to protect this country right? Now you are telling me you are not willing to fight for your constituents in Pennsylvania. You and I both know that your work right now means serving the constituents of Pennsylvania, and you have to be daft and blind to not see the suffering of places like Johnstown. If you truly care about the people of Pennsylvania then you would want to protect their jobs when they get home. Going to Reed means that these soldiers get no chance at the well paying manufacturing jobs, and they would be stuck with low paying soldiers. If you cared about our troops then you need to protect them overseas and when they get back home."

"You can do most good as someone who decides to fight for what he believes in, if you enlist with Reed then he will move you some place with no responsibility, of course he is not gonna protect the manufacturing jobs of the soldiers who come back, and doom them to low paying service jobs. If you believe that Reed will actually protect the remaining manufacturing jobs of the rust belt you must be deceiving yourself. If you sign on with me, you will gain nationwide prominence and even if I lose then you can become Reed's foremost critic blocking his moves in the senate with your actions inspiring your base to get mobilized, and if we win then we can protect American jobs together. Either way your constituents win."

Johnathan Taylor
Chicago

The pounding of Johnathan's heart and the wail of police sirens seemed to form some kind of cruel rhythm as the mercenary dashed through the streets like a madman, attempting to throw off the incoming police cruisers by cutting through alleys and even using the lobbies of hotels as outlets into the streets behind them. The adrenaline pounding through his body kept him sprinting, but he could feel the raw burn in his calves nonetheless. Eventually, he came up to the steps of the Science and Industry museum, stepped in, and tried his best to look calm and innocent as he speed-walked to the nearest public bathroom. Once inside, he immediately removed his jeans and hoodie, replacing the latter with a pair of basketball shorts he had shoved down his pocket earlier that morning and the former with an athletic shirt he had been wearing under his clothes. Looking for a way to conceal his pistol and old clothes, he saw a man in one of the stalls with a small duffel bag at his feet. Quickly, he swiped the bag, stuffed his things in it, and ran out of the bathroom, praying the police hadn't gotten a description of his face the entire time. As the man in the bathroom began yelling obscene phrases, Johnathan walked through the lobby, out the doors, and back onto the steps, even nodding and smiling at a police officer as he did.
