Refound Maine’s state militia? Charity events? Grant pardons? School visits? Idk what one could do as Governor, and the fun thing is I have two gubernatorial candidates in 2018. F u n.

This is why you run novelty gubernatorial candidates. Secessionists, for example.

That's only a part of it. Franky-Frank is a character that's not afraid to ask for a lot of unearned favors, which is something that's very difficult for me personally.

The left's currently having a seizure, imo. It's mostly the right pushing their agenda.

Also, what are the odds on the ALP picking up at least one seat in the special elections/2018? Assume they're running candidates in every constituency available.

I seriously need a new public face for the ALP, one that can speak to people. Taylor can probably attempt to resurrect his national profile with the third parties meeting, but even if it does work, we still need someone to run for President, target the Midwest and the West Coast. Make us as strong, if not stronger, than the Progressives. I'm really waiting on the 1st of May, 2018 to get the ALP train moving.

the entire democratic party primaries were a mess in this RP. I harp on about this, but literally, no (serious) Dem joined til AFTER IOWA. Meanwhile the GOP had like 5+ candidates before. So it's almost understandable why the Dem party was and is such a mess right now.

I feel like it's too new to have any sort of impact, compounded by its lack of a public face. I see no reason why anyone would join or support the ALP when the Progs are around.; they overlap too much, and Progs are much stronger. The ALP will probably be relegated to like American Solidarity Party levels of relevance, or Constitution Party at best.

Vermont, New Hampshire, it's easy to mistake. Unless there's an actual video, maybe the pause wasn't that bad' maybe just him taking a breath.

I really need some person from the Midwest who's working class, possibly an ethnic minority or female. Untrained and inexperienced? You'll get experience on the job! Possibly controversial past? Don't worry, that's why Taylor's behind the scenes, cleaning up your loose ends for you.

I just need a blank slate character, and then Taylor will do his work. Taylor's more skilled than he looks, he just politically died before being able to use them.

Also, can I still have Taylor if Kyrlyakov wins in Kremlin? I know that realistically they would work together, so I don't want to impede on that. Anyone know Taylor well enough to take him over once Kyrlyakov wins?

Alright, since Kyrlyakov is going to start funneling money to Taylor to help him in 2018 once he gets the leadership. Of course, he'll be doing it to Die Linke, La Insomaise (spelling?), Podemos and the people in Kerala.

Also, will there still be a Washington-Kremlin merger if Kyrlyakov is elected Russian President? I feel like a communist Russia is too unrealistic for Washington to handle. Then again, you are the people who had a fascist coup against the American government, so what do I know?

That was a past iteration. Fun spinoff

Kremlin'll have to be looked at at the time
