The Land Of The Free: American Political Roleplay (OOC II)

[Gordano and Lysandus]

Someone should hunt down the districts of all of the Representatives at some point. Fingers crossed it won't be me. X_X

Rn I'm just trying to look for Republicans, particularly ones in the Senate, that are willing to work with Porter if he does win.````

Porter's best chance in that event is to make major policy concessions to key Senators in the event of victory.

(Not-Sen. James “Jim” Inhofe) from Oklahoma probably could be persuaded.

He'd be willing to make economic concessions, but such as going back from medicare-for-all public option to a medicaid expansion bill, but not really social ones, although I don't think he'd need to make too many of those anyway. On demand abortion until the baby gets a nervous system would work...

Well, it's up to him whether he has a long term ambition of being re-elected if he upsets too many Republicans, but he'll either have to pivot right on economics or pivot left on social policy. The latter would probably be more strategically unwise as the Democrats won't on the whole embrace him and it'd make his election as a Republican president appear baffling. So he'd have to consider strongly revising his economic platform.

[New Cobastheia]

Ah that new thread smell, also Sana could you add Eliza to the roster?

[Sanabel]

Sure when I get the chance

Smells like napalm in the morning.

Of course, I'm predicting that. He can't turn the entire Republican Party to his quadrant, but he'll slowly do it over time by endorsing those that think like him in Republican primaries.

I like to think Merriam's made most of her priorities pretty clear, though I'm distinctly certain that she and Porter are irreconcilable. I'm highly doubtful he could convince her.

Yep. Problem is, he's the exact opposite of a libertarian, and libertarians, whilst only making up a small percent of the American population, are very, very powerful.

I'll restate this.

Merriam's shortlist right now is Wolf Jr. (who she found surprisingly sympathetic), Richardson (whose gone down in her estimations due to Amandagate), and Paulson (who she aligns closest to on policy but she's unsure would win).

I'm having this idea of the DNC hiring a big data analytics firm for fundraising efforts that could implicate Zhang in some controversy/scandal down the line but mostly serve to raise funds for the moment. Any thoughts?

Sounds good to me, your prerogative though

If porter is elected we will start seeing

Sen. Augusta Merriam (I-NH)

Doubtful. They played the same game with Trump.

Merriam could keep her head down with Wolf, especially as Wolf isn't out of step with her on the economy. She's got no incentive to remain a Republican with Porter.

I know exactly what you're gonna do.

Overthrow the state government of New Hampshire by force of arms?

I think he probably means quiten on gun control and run as an independent or dem even.
