The only thing that's more cringe is becoming the Democratic Nominee after a contested convention that would very likely require you to get support from all of the candidate's delegates and then picking one of those former candidates as your VP pick
It's so much cringe that riots would break out

It's the only reason why Diehl would avoid Dayton. And probably the most damaging reason too.
Realistically, Caldwell and Nez are very high up there too.

Character Position/Role/Job:
Appearance:
Character State of Origin: Arkansas
Character State of Residence: Texas
Character Party Affiliation: Democratic
Main Strengths: Extremely strong connections to Democratic Establishment, extremely intelligent, wealthy donors like Everytown for Gun Safety and NARAL, savvy on economic issues
Main Weaknesses: Past of anti-LGBT rhetoric, viewed by some as “out of touch”, reputation as a carpet bagger, horrible relationship with Progressives as he views them as “spoilers” and selfish if they holdback their vote for Democrat, also privately hates Conservative and Evangelical voters who he sees as stupid and holding back progress, just a snobby prick in general.
Biography: Harold William Baines was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in April of 1955. He spent most of his childhood life around money, seeing as his father a baker and his mother a school teacher. At only two years old he already had politics shoved into his life as his mother witnessed the National Guard escorting two African-American children to her school after Brown V. Board of Education.
After High School Harold attended college in Texas on a soccer scholarship, getting his BS in Economics from Texas A&M. While there he met his future wife Julia Vargos from Mexico. He started to love Texas and always joked with his parents he’d live there one day.
As he was graduating from college Harold witnessed Richard Nixon announce before the nation that he would resign from office. In response to this Harold registered himself as a Democrat, although he didn’t really know the difference. In 1977 he returned to schooling to receive his MA from Columbia University in New York. He finally returned home to Arkansas to take a job in Fayetteville as a Market Research Analyst.
In 1984 he became a professor at Arkansas State University teaching economics to younger students. He never really felt that satisfied though in his work. In 1988 he was devastated as Democrats lost their third Presidential election in a row in a landslide. He agreed with the idea that the party needed to moderate to appeal to voters again as opposed to running diehard liberals. He applied to get involved in assisting the current Governor of Arkansas, who also happened to be the next President of the United States.
In 1992 Harold was brought on to work with fundraising for the Clifford campaign. He helped work on getting TV ads up during the New Hampshire primary. After Clifford was successfully elected President Harold was convinced by other campaign members to run for office himself. He returned home to Arkansas and was elected to its 1st Congressional District in 1994 despite the GOP landslide that year.
He governed as a New Democrat similar to President Clifford himself. He voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, a decision that still haunts him to this day. He also voted in favor of legislation such as the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (although he opposes the new Iran version) and supported intervention in Yugoslavia.
In 1998 he voting against impeaching President Clifford as he felt personal life wasn’t grounds to remove the President from office. In 2000 he was deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision to give the election to President Burke instead of Not-Gore. However the feelings were quickly replaced as he turned his attention to foreign affairs post 9/11. He voted in favor of invasions of both Afghanistan and Iraq, the latter he would later regret. He also voted in favor of the AWB renewal and voted against raising the debt ceiling.
In 2007 he endorse Diane Clifford for POTUS and supported her all the way until she dropped out, then turning his support to future President Baharia. After Baharia taking office Harold was tapped to serve as Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs underneath not-Gary Locke. It was during this time that Harold changed his residence from Arkansas to Texas, having been heavily campaigning in the start for Diane in the primary and doing community service work in Houston. He decided to move to Texas from this as well as wanting to escape Arkansas in which political prospects for Democrats was becoming almost non-existant.
During his time in cabinet Baines worked with banks and other organizations to help pull America out of the Great Recession. He supported the bailouts of banks all through the recession. He also supported the creation of the Trans Pacific Partnership, helping to draft it right before he left the cabinet.
In 2015 he left the Baharia cabinet and decided to run for Mayor of Houston, America’s fourth largest city. He easily defeated his GOP opponent and took office early 2016. During his time as mayor he has overseen the response to Hurricane Harvey, as well as passing sweeping gun laws in the aftermath of Sutherland Springs. He has become an outspoken supporter of gun control after El Paso. He supported not-Beto in the 2018 Senate election and Suraj Shah in the 2019 Special. He has strongly contemplated running in the 2020 race to fill the seat being vacated by Howard Frankston.
Other Info: He is a Centrist New Democrat, Married with no children, hopes for Miguel Velez to win nomination for President, views Dayton and Murphy as too progressive.
