Washington 2017: The US Political RP [CLOSED] OOC Pt. IX

[Pantorrum]

Patton will be encouraging the Maine State Police to make the apprehension of the wife their top priority and to keep a look out for her given the proximity to New Hampshire.

The FBI issued an all points bulletin to all police forces around the country, and would have reached out to the state police requesting road blocks and vehicle checks around the state.

smart play, she handles this right it makes 2020 a much bigger possibility

I am still in the process of writing a speech for Kuznetsov to deliver at Manchester, though I have been pressed for time, and not writing well regardless. We have a brief window in preparing for the reports to be written for the breaking story, but if it begins to delay the roleplay, she will bow out due to health reasons.

The text of the bill should be provided in laying it out, Latvijas. It is not a serious problem, it should be a simple matter to edit the post, and copy and paste said text into it.

[Uttland]

On the contrary, if the left continues to cannibalize itself with the Progressive-Democrat vote split, it is actually reasonable to presume a conservative Republican, such as Kramer, could win a Presidential election in 2020, 2024, and beyond.

All of which is dependent on how things transpire, of course, but that is true for anything.

the split is bad sure but we also need to look at demographics, states like Georgia, North Carolina and and Texas are losing safe red status. Looking at how the nation as a whole is beginning to lean further left on many social issues (minus abortion) a Kramer presidency is not impossible but increasingly unlikely, not to mention he will be 80 by the time of the election.

And it's all mostly due to demographics!

Sorry about this but I have been wondering over the past few days what Anita Flores's liberty party is?

Very long story short, the Libertarian party broke apart and the Liberty Party is one of the two that came out of it. Has more of a conservative/ancappy flair than the Libs, color is purple, Don't Tread on Me flag, most concentrated out West, still definitely a fourth party, not a big player yet

Ok thank you.

Carter/Denis and Lane/Eb meetings still going on?

I have no idea. I’m waiting on Pro to respond.

I think it's your turn

I believe that I have. Unless I have erred, I do not see any further posts from Lane after my most recent post.

It would be interesting to see what a Stephens run as a Republican would look like in 2024 (or 2020 if Reed doesn’t run). He’ll be 75 in 2020 and 79 in 2024, but as a long-time executive and a social near-liberal, he could be a decent choice.

He’d get as far as rand Paul 2016

Maybe slightly better. The field will likely not have a Trump, and Stephens has pushed aside his more extreme economic positions to appear more electable a time or two before.

Damn, the Chicago machine is strong.

Damn, the Chicago machine is strong.

And RL Gov. Jackson somehow almost managed to lose an unlosable race

How does one almost lose to a conservative tea party type while an incumbent Governor in Illinois?

He outspent her like 30-1, and had the establishment so locked in for him that they were declaring endorsements of her illegal

But the guy screwed up on the abortion bill he signed. He got super lucky in how quiet the media attention was around it and Ives really did not run a good campaign but it got the conservatives riled up so much that he almost lost even with the whole "Only guy who can beat the Democrat" thing going for him

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Classic Illinois... Incompetent Republican vs Corrupt Democrat

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Republicans also nominated Jason Larson.

EDIT

I have a strong feeling Lipinski will take a hint and move to the left to survive a challenge by someone who is not a complete political novice.

I mean it's Illinois, and he's a Republican, so I would assume he would have to try and throw the suburbanites, moderate Democrats, and liberal Republicans a bone on abortion.

It's farther left than they are by a decent clip, not a PP style thing, but integrating into Medicaid, which is more controversial. If it was something like VT or something where the conservatives are kinda liberal he'd end up better, but rural Illinois is sort of discount Indiana, so he PO'd them.

He was pretty screwed either way, but he hurt himself more by depressing the base than trying to expand his tent

Wait, can they take up amendments in the Senate while we are discussing a current Bill?
