So Spire and Abbott can no longer win outright, at this point it's all about trying to force a contested convention.

Drench · Post Post #359 (ISO) » Tue Mar 14, 2017 9:20 pm

i wouldn't even say for certain that a contested convention would produce anything different

it'd be fun tho

hahaha i lied!!!!!

April 27th

6 days until Indiana
10 days until Guam (Democratic)
195 days until the Presidential Election

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.

Wednesday's papers:

Okay you can probably guess the big stories.

Serduchka

sweeping is up there,

Negarir

almost doing it and doing a bit on Fox News Sunday gets up too. They're dominating the papers tbh: the latter's in Delaware and on Colbert hating trees, the former's calling for marginally higher tax rates for the rich and a company tax cut (how good are standard Democrats) on Rachel Maddow.

Spire

, for his part, is cool and collected on Fallon, but gets a little bit of protest for being a communist or something.

Abbott

gets good coverage for once for taking Maryland.

Thursday:

Serduchka

put out a shit attack ad and now it's reflecting badly press F to pay respects. That's basically it.

Friday:

Negarir

is cute on Meet the Press and slams

Abbott

for being the worst person in America.

Serduchka

is a Leader on Fallon.

Abbott

calls

Negarir's

health care plan the creeping red hand of socialism in West Virginia, which plays.

Saturday:

Aww cool

Serduchka

is nice on Maddow.

Abbott

and his wife are protested for their position on war and defense spending (how else's he gonna shirtfront people though).

Sunday:

More cool beans shilling of policy on the cable shows:

Serduchka

and

Spire

are having a bit of a health care war on Colbert, while

Negarir

loves guns. This election's most coveted endorsement,

Gov. Chris Christie

, goes to

Abbott

. They're both supremely popular.

Monday:

Sen. Bob Menendez

gets in on the

Abbott

endorsement fiesta.

Negarir

gets a boost from his spouse in Indiana. Dems and the GOP are tied in the generic. People are protesting basically everyone now.

Tuesday:

Serduchka

is still all over the air waves, while

Abbott

cops it in New Jersey. The former makes a lil gaffe, and the latter proves how broken this game's endorsement system is by getting

Sen. Cory Booker

, but whatever.

The Crystal Ball

Larry Sabato still has a job <3

REPUBLICANS

1. Negarir (173 points)
2. Abbott (132 points)

Negarir is still succeeding. Obviously. If his polling collapses, then so does his advantage, but at this point it does not appear that it is or will. His platform is more aligned with Republicans. His campaign is mroe developed. He has more funds. He's more personable. Abbott needs a miracle.

DEMOCRATS

1. Serduchka (228 points)
2. Spire (157 points)

And the same with Serduchka. Less funds, sure, but it doesn't matter that much. It's all about that polling, and with an aligned platform and no obvious flaws, there's not much Spire can do. The latter's a better candidate, sure, but when did that mean anything?

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, 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.

Spoiler: Ads

Spoiler: Scandals

Spoiler: The rest

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. Earned delegates are located in posts #1 and #2.

Drench · Post Post #363 (ISO) » Tue Mar 14, 2017 11:27 pm

ooh that seems to be an outlier actually the trend is for negarir to most of the time do well, abbott/defender/mothma to sometimes do well, tsl/khan to not really do well that often, and spire, mcgriddles/serduchka/peanuts, reckoner being those groups on the other side

sorry reck

I noticed that Serduchka over performs polling by 10-20% everywhere, while Spire tends to be between -5% and +5%, is that just random/lucky or some sort of property of the candidates/game?

Extremely cool to see

Negarir

calls for the government to be put on food stamps and that's cool.

Serduchka

has """""""""""""""The Big Mo""""""""""""""""""""""".

Spire

continues the excellent strategy of appearing on television shows by talkin' bout terror with Colbert.

Serduchka

pledges to fight Republican corruption.

Abbott
