Singh -but not in a landslide.

Solidarity has pulled through for him where it counts though, and Scotty being there, as a Democrat (for now), means that Singh will have a committed and energetic base of Progressives and progressive Democrats.

Schmidt has been out for too long to get things going again, and Roberts not having an endorsement from Havich (in his home state!) will not be good for Republican turnout.

How is this even a question


Obviously jeb!, he'll win every state, and then run in 2020, and then beat Reed, and before that be elected to the Senate representing Florida, and we'll change the Constitution to make it happen because he's the best.

im so torn, singh potentially ran a good enough campaign to overcome the prog dem split, but idk if he did it for sure. Havich not endorsing roberts was huge for sure, and the singh surrogates counted for a lot.

The weirdest thing about this whole campaign has been the odd counterfactual noises from Democrats about Singh somehow being pro-gun

An email response from Appleby has been sent, Xathuecia, and that meeting can start at any time.

If election-related business is a priority, I have no issue with a delay.

That means Roberts is going to lose in a rout

That's a great new profile pic for Reed. Also makes me wonder who his character model is.... I assume, an actor.

An actor indeed-Brandon Routh, specifically.

I should note that this is Reed's personal Twitter account, @TheWhip, rather than the Presidential account, @POTUS, which retains the suited image.

Ahhhh that makes sense. I was always unsure as to how many Twitter accounts a character could have.

I suppose that there would not technically be a limit, though in the great majority of cases, more than one would not seem particularly necessary.

The @POTUS account is, from real life, an account that was transferred along with the Presidency, from Obama to Trump, and presumably was inherited in a similar manner in the roleplay. Trump has largely continued to use his personal account rather than the Presidential one, but both are maintained. Reed tends towards greater official usage, partially from his using Twitter less often on the whole.

I suppose I should also note that a identical system of passing down accounts exists for the FLOTUS, though, unlike Cal, Aubrey's personal account was rather little-used and little-followed prior to the campaign, and I believe she has solely used the @FLOTUS account following the inauguration.

Did you not get that tg about doing something in Stamford

Its too late now but that’s alright, IC Singh had some reservations about both Fairley or Bellinger-Frank showing up anyways, his focus was more on Marlowe and Enchanted, who have lots of appeal beyond the Prog base.
