Washington 2017: The U.S. Political RP [CLOSED] OOC Pt. XI

[Dentali]

De Blasio kicking off all the candidate on candidate conflict by rhetorically castrating O’Rourke was pretty epic, ngl.

Big losers of this debate are O’Rourke, Ryan, both of whom lost every exchange they got involved in.

Big Winners are Castro, Gabbard, de Blasio, and Delaney, who all did what they needed to do to garner a little more attention.

The moderators hated delaney, they consistently jumped on his time, or denied his time. For responses that were supposed to be 60 seconds they gave every other candidate 70 seconds and started to interrupt Delaney at 50.

Also Gabbard did well

[Jovuistan]

Well Beto took quite the L today.

[Dentali]

Well Beto took quite the L today.

Beto looked incredibly uncomfortable and out of depth, every just walked all over him.

[Sanabel]

Impressed by Castro. Felt like they handed the debate to Warren on purpose as well.

[Dentali]

Impressed by Castro. Felt like they handed the debate to Warren on purpose as well.

Yea if you look at the amount of time each candidate was given it was ridiculously lopsided to benefit Booker, O'Rourke and Warren.

Also how much do you want to bet Kamala Harris is pulling an all nighter with Rosetta Stone to learn spanish?


EDIT: If Castro gets a boost and knocks out Beto i could see a Warren/Castro ticket

Biography:

Athena An Kirkland is an only child to two extremely wealthy Columbia Law School professors. Her father was one of the first Black men in the Harvard Law Review, and Her mother attended Princeton and created the first African American student organization at Stanford Law. She was born in Ithica New York while her father taught at Cornell University. She then moved to New York City, where she attended and graduated High School. Athena was accepted into Spellman College and graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice. She then attended Law School at Duke University and graduated at the bottom of her class, although she did manage to snatch a Big Law job. Athena passed theNew York Bar exam in her first try, which made up for the lack of determination in Law School. After securing a Big Law job, she worked as a lead litigator for seven years; and during that period met her husband at a Big Law gala. Her husband was a hugely successful corporate lawyer in Chicago who had recently transferred to the New York City branch. They got married after three years of dating, and Athena quit her job shortly after giving birth to twins.

Athena did not want to head back to Big Law, so she took a job at the Queens County District Attorneys office as a prosecutor in the Homicide Division. She successfully prosecuted many criminal cases and shortly after was appointed senior prosecutor of the division. As a top prosecutor, she made it her homicidal units priority to execute the law with the most dignity. Athena was appointed as the first female black Assistant district attorney of Queens County. She worked hand in hand with authorities and created a top priority division for domestic and child abuse cases. Athena continually advocated for the safety of children and women who were victims of domestic violence. Athena argued that domestic abuse cases lacked the attention the desired from the current DA's office.

In 2015, she defeated her opponent, a long-serving DA in the Democratic election and went to win the general election in a landslide win. She ran with a criminal justice reform platform. In her current term as District Attorney, Athena announced that her office would not be prosecuting low-level marijuana drug offenses. The policy change sparked a wave of equal praise by the NAACP, Black Lives Matter movement and backlash from the NYPD, and other police organizations around New York; although her approval rating with African American and Latino voters rose. Regarding law enforcement, Athena worked with the Attorney General of New York to secure more resources for sexual assault and domestic abuse cases. Currently, Athena is gearing up to run for Governor of New York, although she has expressed presidential ambitions.

Just getting around to watching the debate and Warren has already annoyed me by using ‘Latinx’; IT’S GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT PLS STOP

Castro crushed it at the debate. Consider Beto gone once they uncover his criminal record.

[The Archipelago Territory]

Maybe Biden+Castro because Castro was in Biden’s cabinet so they know each other.

I just finished a post I've been working on for a while and I'm honestly scared to post it.

Unlikely, however I would like to see a Biden/Inslee ticket or a Biden/Harris ticket.

Post it, the Gods of Washington demand it!

[Vaquas]

Probably best to stop pretending like the Dem nominee is going to pick someone of the same sex as their running mate in this election cycle.

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

I've realised there's something missing in terms of Taylor's personal life. Any suggestions? My first thought was making him (closeted) gay and only being discovered after a leaked sex tape/a journalist investigating him/opposition research, and perhaps a bit of an alcoholic. But perhaps there might be an even better fit for him...

Being an alcoholic would certainly explain that debate performance.
