No. I already know Winston wants my corpse on his desk. He doesn't want me. No one really wants me.

Just you and Assad have apparently given a damn.

*Egazarian sighed again*

What will you do then?

I want to be your vice-president.

If not . . . OK.

If not . . . OK.

I will consider it. At this point, it's between you and Reed. I will help you as best I can, but with no offense at all to you, I need a candidate who is stable. I believe that you can be, but we just need to work on things and get other things straightened out.

Garestaer didn't reply. His line was still active, but he didn't reply. He set his phone on the floor, and rubbed his face. "Well, I'm not stable."

Bluefield, Virginia

Unlike the Lovettsville delivery this one had been coordinated with town officials, and citizens had been informed, due to the larger population. This time there were nine delivery trucks full of supplies that would keep the people stocked for the duration of the storm and at least 48 hours after.

Governor Murray stood atop the steps of the Town Hall, “Good Afternoon Bluefield! A lot of times we focus so much on big cities with the most opportunities for votes and we forget about small towns like Bluefield, with amazing and caring people like you all. That's why I wanted to personally deliver these supplies to you guys today; not to garner votes but to show you that if no one else cares, I do.”

As the staffers handed out the supplies Governor Murray talked with citizens and took selfies.

Gary,Indiana Rally
The unused Gary Steel Works warehouse in which the evening rally was being held was filled with close to 7,500 local people,both mill employees and local residents, many of the workers were still in their work uniforms, belonging to one of the few different local integrated steel plants of Northwestern Indiana. The showmanship typical of Schnider rallies began with the usual escort to the stage following Schniders personal Legionnaire standard bearer. As Schnider walked on to the stage and waved to the crowds, the crowd responded with a loud ovation, Schnider motioned with his hand for people to quiet down.
I can see...America...is.awake he began monotonously, and lowkey invoking a hypnotic-like phrase first used in the Sturmlied by the SA, nothing any normal American would take note of, and if the media were to, well they're crooked bastards trying to make Schnider look bad.
Ya know, I have a special relation here with this area, extending long before this election. At Schnider automation, we have and they continue to use steels in our CNC Machines, drill bits, jackhammers, our lathes. Much of that steel came from this very region of the Hoosier state! None of that could of been possible if not for the great work done at this mill and others! as Schnider was finishing his sentence the room roared into applause. Schnider had been successful in his efforts to extend a feeling of preexisting relation to the people.
As you all know well enough, this plant like many others has been inundated what with lay-offs as our steel manufacturers downsize in their attempts to make up for losses. Sure enough, those losses come from many different angles. Chinese steel is sold here for extremely low cost with the intention of replacing domestic counterparts. Meanwhile, our Establishment media and politicians couldn't care less! [insert applause]
When I'm president, there will be no more of this. We will set tariffs on steel imported from China at 25%, and we will create tax incentives for US Steel and other steel manufacturers to enhance their steel making techniques to modern, efficient 21st century levels. We are going to make incentives for our steel manufacturers to restart closed Blast Furnaces or invest in new technologies like EAF's and DRI, and we will invest in the retraining of American steel workers, to these new technologies. This was met with mixed emotions, but became largely favorable as he brought back the subject to making sure American workers would be equipped with the right skill sets going forward.
When I arrived here, I was asked by two gentlemen, both close to retirement age, they asked me how I was going to fix social security in America, its a good question, so I'll answer it here now again.
Quite simply, I think the core concept of social security is good, and I will keep it as President, but under a different system. The current Social Security system is over-expended as extends much farther then it was originally supposed to. So as President, I'm going to change Social Security back to its original purpose as a retirement safety net. During your career, you would pay in 6.2% of your earnings, and matched by your employer into a National Pension Bank, where it earns interest based off of COLA. May I add, when the NPB get's into effect, everything you've paid into social security will be added to it. So basically, we are going to have a system where money is actually saved for retirement, instead of just lended out to other bankrupt government schemes! I promise you that, you will be paying into the Pension System, not another way for our vampire like government to suck the American worker dry! [insert boisterous applause to one-up other players]

If Elected POTUS, I will deliver on something that so many candidates promise but never enact. Great infrastructure reinvestment. I have a prooven track record doing so, during my time as Governor of Arkansas, we attained the highest graded infrastructure by the American Society of Civil Engineers, my state being the envy of other governors in terms of infrastructure. I will setup a program to intelligently and with great oversight invest trillions on the federal, state and local level.

If Elected POTUS, I will elimnate the control the drug cartels have over America's youth. Once again, as Governor of Arkansas I practically elimnated the production and use of illegal narcotics in my state, especially Meth and Painkillers. We got drug-users healthy again and on the road to recovery. I want to do the same, but on a National level!


Thank you, great people of Indiana! I promise you, I'll be back in the area before the election, so tell your friends and family! And finally, LETS REBUILD AMERICA. Vote Schnider in November!

No. Reed's too passive for you. He uses his wife as a puppet, and he's scared to say things how they really are. Why you're considering him, I don't know. He'll never help you cooperate with Assad and stop ISIS.

I guess you're right. I still got a few months to decide so don't fret over it. You sure you're alright though? Do you have things under control for the time being?

Annoyed, and tired, Garestaer picked up his phone, with Egazarian on his cellphone. "Hello?"

"Garestaer. Under Secretary of State Johnsman just died. Don't leak that to the media because the family doesn't even know yet. But we are going to need a replacement fast as he was supposed to lead the US delegation to the Gulf States when they meet this weekend. I don't know who else is more knowledgeable about the region than you and so while I hate it, it'll show bipartisan. I don't need your support or anything. Just say you'll accept the position. I need to know now."

Winston held his breath.

"Well, as Under Secretary, you can contact any leader you want. Though most calls will be recorded. I'll let you have some freebies though. Will you accept it?"

Baltimore, Maryland

In work clothes and a baseball cap, indistinguishable from any other worker, save for his height, Cal Reed continued efforts to secure the city's most vulnerable. American Dream's HQ was packed with homeless and destitute, and makeshift shelters spread as far as he could throw them. He had finally managed to get his way into Camden Yards-the sheltered areas were filled with thousands upon thousands, with more coming in all the while, efforts were being taken to put up temporary shelters in the stadium proper. He organized as best he could, but left that to the directors specializing in it-most of his work was in heavy lifting, lending his athleticism to the cause. No selfies, or chats, running on four hours of sleep a night, he continued on anonymously.

"Well, as Under Secretary, you can contact any leader you want. Though most calls will be recorded. I'll let you have some freebies though. Will you accept it?"

"If you're tricking me, this will be leaked. Got it?" Garestaer didn't want to take any chances. "I accept if you're not tricking me, because I swear on my mother's grave you will regret your existence if you keep treating me like garbage."

"Fine. Now get on a plane. Announce your resignation as Speaker and acceptance of this position."

As Winston hung up, he sighed regretting every part of that conversation.

"At least there will be a new Speaker."

"At least there will be a new Speaker."

Garestaer sighed, stepping out into the elements, and walking a few blocks to the capitol building. The rain was bad, but not destructive, as he stepped into the building, and walked to his podium.

He gave looks to his colleagues, whispering, "I hate you. And you. And you. And you. Oh, definitely hate you. You. You. You. And you," before getting on his podium.

"To be honest, America, I am a curious man. I'm curious as to why the Democrats preach love and tolerance and yet they have shown me no love and no tolerance. Your donkey of a president is an example of one who has abused me, many, many times. He's even blackmailed me. Not only that, but many of the Democratic candidates have acted the same way, accusing the upper classes of being selfish and greedy. Most of you know that I tried running for president. Well . . . not anymore. I'm dropping that, and I'm resigning as Speaker. There are only two people in this entire world that have shown me they care about me as a person, and I will not name them for their safety. Apparently, Winston wants to name me under secretary of state, and I will accept that position, because I'm going to tell all of you stupid Democrats that I have no heating and I have no food. I gave it up, because I am a politician who supposedly does not care about people. I haven't had any heat or food in several days. I hope that makes you happy."

He stepped off the podium, gave the middle finger to the House Democrats, and walked out.

[The Orion Islands]

Troy Wilson rally and fundraiser in West Point.
30,000 cadets and Wilson supporters packed Michie Stadium to help with Bonnie and rebuilding. They each gave 5 dollars, raising $150,000 in donations. During this event, he is expected to give a speech on Bonnie and military and foreign policy. This rally is expected to be much more subdued than his earlier rallies. At his rallies, Taylor Swift, "Happy", and "The Best Day of my Life" were played. None of that today. His supporters were usually raucous and cheered wildly. They just sat quietly. As Troy Wilson walked in, he began his address like this. "Welcome and that you for coming. Today I came here to speak on how I will rebuild the army and defend our nation, as well raise money to contribute to Hurricane Bonnie relief. Today 30,042 came to my rally. We have raised $150,210 dollars for relief efforts." As he said this, the crowd began to clap. "I will personally match this donation. I will give $150,210 of my own money to the Wilson Agriculture Relief mission that my company set up. I usually keep the fund dormant, only activating it to raise funds for emergencies. I am pleased to announce that the Wilson Agricultural Relief fund has raised $1,689,793.22 off my homepage to give to the victims so far. Now to the political side of this rally. The Democratic Party wants to weaken America so that submitting to the will of foreign policies is the only logical option. As President, I will provide the Air Force with 250 new $940,fighter jets and 125 helicopters, provide the Navy with a new aircraft carrier, 5 new submarines, 4 nuclear submarines, and 20 other surface ships, and the Army with 1,000 tanks and 250 missile launchers. I will also put 50,000 more men into the services. As President, I will invade Iraq and Syria to destroy ISIS. Air based strikes are successful and have helped, but are not bringing the terror group down. Invading their lands with even 30,000 men will bring ISIS to it knees, begging for mercy. I will intervene with 5,000 men in Libya to take out ISIS there. I will keep our mission in Afghanistan to break the rule of ISIS and the Taliban. The next priority of my administration will be to remove Assad from power. Here is the rationale: according to the latest Freedom in the World report, NORTH KOREA HAD A HIGHER SCORE THAN SYRIA! You heard me right. That son of a ****** Kim Jong Un has better respect for human rights than Assad. I will invade government held areas to kick him out. I will put him on trial for crimes against humanity. I will intervene in support of the democratic Libyan government. I have ran out of time. Thanks for putting up with me and donating. Remember go to WilsonAgricultural.com/BonnieRelief where you can donate up to $2,000,000.00. The fund has set up a GoFundMe page that has raised $1,334,329.67 and a Kickstarter page that has raised $940,307.31. Donate there as well. In total, we have raised $3,962,430.20 in total. I'll be heading to Boston to help with more preparations, and Washington to hold another joint rally-fundraiser.

Robert Eberhardt, seizing the moment, took the chance to make his speech.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, honorable representatives. With the resignation of Garestaer comes the resignation of a man who never had what it took to govern, to lead, or to fight. It is the resignation of a man who did everything in his power to block the resolution to destroy the Islamic State once and for all, all for the favor of a dictator, to leave us vulnerable to international terror, because he supported a committer of such terror. It is the resignation of a man who has for too long been a black mark on our party. When the leading Republican of the nation spends his public appearances in rants, raves, and bouts of depression, while spouting racism and extremism, the party suffers-the conservative movement sees its image besmirched. No more. We need a speaker who can lead, who can fight, who can govern-one who is active in Washington, not across the nation on campaigns, one who can connect to voters young and old alike, and one who can, who will, with your help, lead the Republican Party to victory. Ladies and gentlemen, I humbly submit my candidacy for Speaker of the House of Representatives."

Russell Senate Office Building

Paul Clark was sitting down in his office working emails when his Chief of Staff ran in.

"Senator Clark, did you hear about Garestar?

"What did that miserable SOB do this time?

He was appointed as Undersecretary of State after Johnsman kicked the bucket. He flipped off the House Democrats during the press conference announcing his resignation as Speaker.

Wow, POTUS moved quickly. At least let the old man's corpse get cold before you announce a successor. I know there is a delegation to the Gulf States this weekend. He didn't have to appoint a new Undersecretary. Send me or another high ranking member on Armed Services or Foreign Relations for Christ's sake. Does POTUS really think that Garestar will keep politics at the water's edge? That asshole will probably flip off the Gulf delegation with one hand while eating a McRib. If POTUS gets embarrassed by Garestar, he will reap what he had sowed
