I can't believe Abbott is mopping the floor on the right. It's almost as bad as the actual 15/16 primary season.

You can report on just the important events and skip the minutia of day-to-day campaigning stuff. I'm more interested in the overall outcome.

Majiffy · Post Post #158 (ISO) » Sat Feb 11, 2017 5:18 am

No I like the day-to-day it's the only time I ever see my name anywhere but the bottom of a list

The Week of February 10th

10 days until South Carolina (GOP) and Nevada (DEM)
13 days until Nevada (GOP)
272 days until the Presidential Election

bitch u thought
This turn is a week long. Also I think I have my days mixed up so just like, play along.

Headlines

The papers are released each day in the morning, and describe what happened the previous day. The first day of the cycle is a Wednesday, and the last a Tuesday, but the first newspapers are Thursday's, and the last Wednesday's.

Not every news story is included.

Thursday:

So here's the thing, right.

Serduchka

and

Abbott

both took New Hampshire, but only the latter's capitalizing on that right now (eleven reach, +2!!! slant, a total of +22 power in that one thing alone!!!!!!). Meanwhile, the former is bragging about her leadership, which: sure, but you won New Hampshire, you have better legs to stand on.

Serduchka

obviously does have momentum though (and the news says as much). Meanwhile,

Khan

and

Abbott

are both copping a little something for negativity,

McGriddles

tries to push through with War on Terror talks, and we got a whole bunch of speechifying on leadership and Iran from such diverse people as

Mothma

,

Peanuts

, and

TSL

. Lots of stuff.

THE SIXTH

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

DEBATE

Thursday, February 11

Would you believe that

Spire

won? Could you believe that he boasted well about himself, and was meticulously prepared and energetic? Would you ever believe that he soared above the competition, above

Peanuts'

own minor boast, and

McGriddles

' clobbering of

Reckoner

, and the latter's own targeting of

Serduchka

and her (successful) boasting?

Could you believe it? Yeah, course you could.

1. Spire (12 points)
2. Peanuts (5 points)
3. McGriddles (4 points)
4. Serduchka (3 points)
5. Reckoner (-1 points)

Friday:

Oh Wow I Can't Believe

Spire

Won The Debate. To be fair, it hasn't helped much, but right now it's a game of trying to rein in the leaders, and that'll help.

Reckoner

and

Serduchka

make great impressions on their leadership potential, while

Defender

cops it from

Negarir

on the trail.

Saturday:

Obama gives his last State of the Union address.

McGriddles

and

Spire

appear to be tapping into some of their own momentum, while

Peanuts

gets stuck into the weeds of healthcare and comes out a winner.

Negarir

and

Spire

both try to speechify their leadership, but only the latter succeeds, while the former really fucks it.

THE SEVENTH

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

DEBATE

Saturday, February 13th

What a shitshow. This was the debate where everyone just dropped any pretense of niceties and just fucking went for the jugular, and it showed.

TSL

got hit HARD by

Khan

for her massive riches and general snobbish nature, although that didn't stop her from turning around and stilleto'ing (so to speak)

Negarir

.

Defender

tried to mock

Mothma's

name but it was shit and she looked better for it, which was good, since

Abbott

definitely wasn't hurt by her own remarks. And

Negarir

was having a ball showcasing every single bad decision

Defender

ever made, including ones that he really shouldn't have known about. Some were humanizing; most were embarrassing; and it was just chaos all round (with exception of

Abbott

whose boasts got ignored). The combined dragging down of everyone just let it all in a shitheap, but there were two who were slightly better than the rest.

Mothma

and

Khan

, kings of the scrap heap.

1. Mothma (4 points)
1. Khan (4 points)
3. Abbott (2 points)
3. Negarir (2 points)
5. Defender (1 point)
6. TSL (-2 points)

Sunday:

Press F to pay respects: Justice Scalia has passed. It's so sudden that the debate's pushed down in importance--it also doesn't help that it was a draw.

Abbott

and

Spire

are continuing to summon strength on the trail, while

TSL

's debate fuck up is interesting.

Monday:

lmao

reckoner

hates

mcgriddles

. That draw is boding ill for

Mothma's

coverage, and

McGriddles

surrogate Tim Kaine literally gets hit with a pie. I am not lying, that is the honest-to-god headline.

Tuesday:

Mothma

is really really trying, but her speech on government just absolutely shit the bed. It's difficult to watch.

Defender

manages, in the shadow of that, to not incite any opinions at all on his speech (both being on the role of government), while

Spire

continues to be a Good On-Paper Candidate by talking environment with ol' Billy O-Rilez. The Dems are ahead of the GOP in the generic, but not by enough apparently, which is impacting

Serduchka

, apparently.

Wednesday's papers:

I mean, everyone is literally high on role-of-government speeches right now.

Spire

just gave a good one.

Negarir's

up in Arkansas, while both

Khan

and

Defender

get a bit of protesting at events.

Week in Review

The news cycle strength is how good or bad your media was for the week, if you had any media at all. The ads just tell you who's producing what, and what's being targeted in each. Scandals are self-explanatory. The full picture has basically everything that happened, but unformatted, so you can cry while you read it.

Spoiler: News cycle strength

Spoiler: Ads

Spoiler: The rest

Gaining momentum:

Abbott

,

Spire

,

Serduchka

Losing momentum:

Mothma

,

Khan

,

McGriddles

MAPS

Ignore McMullin. Leaders of each state are colour-coded; white states means it's too close to call. The percentage list on the right-hand side is the popular vote; the lines and segments down the bottom are PROJECTED delegates. Once delegates start being earned, that will be added separately.

REPUBLICANS

DEMOCRATS

Next time, on this thing!:

Three furious days of campaigning before South Carolina and Nevada have their say, but like, only halfsies.
