The news cycle strength is how good or bad your media was for the week, if you had any media at all, and if the cycle was a week long. 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.

Suspensions of Campaigns II and III
Monday, March 7th, 2016
After failing to convert votes into delegates and make progress to the line of 1237, both(R) andKhan(R) have decided to suspend their campaigns.Defender
It was never a question of winning delegates: both candidates performed that job. It was about winning enough, and whether they had the tenacity to continue if not. Neither were hyper-ideologues; neither were conviction politicians of the highest order, willing to continue when all hope was lost. BothandKhaneventually saw the writing on the wall.Defender
Despite their good performances in polling, it's instructive to note that the top three delegate earners are the ones who remain. NeithernorDefenderwere simply not equipped, either financially or electorally, to overcome the deficit they had built. The former had just under $400,000 in the bank; the latter marginally less. In a national campaign, it's not enough.Khan
The decision to pull out in the lead-up to a primary contest--indeed, multiple contests--will be hotly contested and debated. It was probably the wrong move. But to pull out now may save political face, and maintain relationships; these being among the last proportional contests of note, it may have been better to shut the door when the losses weren't as great, and everyone won at least a little bit.
A contested convention appears unlikely, but the some-20% of the vote these two controlled must go somewhere. If it changes some winner-take-all results, we may have a contest on our hands, and in that event, neither may be happy to pledge their collective 230~ delegates towards a candidate. Their best relationships were with each other. Now that their races are over,andDefendermust turn to someone else in support.Khan
Next time:Michigan, Mississippi, Idaho; their ballot just got chopped in half. Grim days for the undecided voter.Last edited by Drench on Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:06 am, edited 1 time in total.join your union-

Aw, boo. Still, makes sense. Don't have the war coffer, so likely can't compete in the greater picture. Left in good position to have a job in the Abbott administration or run again in 4 years.In post 235, Drench wrote:After failing to convert votes into delegates and make progress to the line of 1237, both Khan (R) and Defender (R) have decided to suspend their campaigns.
Will continue to follow this. I do agree that they need to tweak some things in the AI to make it a better simulation.Occasionally intellectually honest

Suspension of Campaign IV
Tuesday, March 8th, 2016
I lied, there's one more.
Following a string of underwhelming performances, only one state victory, and weak debate performances,(R) has decided to suspend her campaign.Tilden-St. Leonard
In the delegate hunt,was always disadvantaged. Failing to make thresholds across the country, her only chance of emerging in the top three delegate counts was to hold on until the end, and despite being on track to do that, it proved a bridge too far. She suspends her campaign after three other Republicans, but only out-performed one of them.Tilden-St. Leonard
was certainly flush of money--with over a million in the bank--and with an average fundraising pull. But her overall platform failed to really connect with Republican voters in the way that all five other Republicans, with more traditionally centre-right positions, did. Being a centrist is great news for a general election candidate, but you have to make it there first.Tilden-St. Leonard
She did not make it there first. Pulling out before the Tuesday elections is the incorrect move (and the AI is dumb for doing it), but it's a move she'll have to live with--and it's a move that may cause seismic shifts in how the rest of the contest proceeds. A race that was almost locked up bynow has a full potential to swing towardsAbbott.Negarir
This convention will most likely not be contested. But the window does exist. Outside the two remaining candidates, 312 delegates sit, and if the margin is smaller than that, it'll be--as they say--on. Wheresends her delegates, however, may not be known for some time.Tilden-St. Leonard

HAWAII AND IDAHO (REPUBLICAN)
Hawaii has like four Republican voters in total but they still possess 19 delegates completely proportional. Which is roughly athreshold, but come on, there's two candidates left, that's getting made. A little less permissive is Idaho, which does it at a5%threshold. But there are 32 delegates so it's worth it.20%
As a note, both candidates will massively overperform polling today because, nationally, about 30% of the vote on average just got injected into one or the other candidate's share. Congrats.
