June 5th

No days until Puerto Rico (Democratic)
2 days until basically everything else
156 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.


Sunday:
Negarir
dominates the pages because of course: he's in New Jersey, he's good on Fallon, he's making money, whew. Also
Serduchka
won the USVI apparently.

cool that was easy

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.

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.

There is no sugarcoating this because surely, someone out there is keeping count as they read. It's winner-take-all, and Negarir is less than 51 delegates from clinching. Abbott needs this to stay in the game.

June 8th

6 days until Washington D.C. (Democratic)
40 days until the Republican Convention
47 days until the Democratic Convention
153 days until the Presidential Election


As a warning: there's a bit of lag before the events of Tuesday will set in. Abbott has lost, but he'll have set in motion advertisements beforehand just in case he managed to contest the convention. Those will finish over the next week, and show up in any case. And so it goes.

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:
Negarir
is the Republican nominee. This is obviously front page news. His sweep of the five states is also there, although, tbh, who cares when it's next to the whole nominee thing.

Thursday:
Shocking stuff as
Spire
manages to cut TWO!!! terrible attack ads in the same day. But he's on Maddow to compensate. Life is not easier as an actual general election candidate for
Negarir
: if anything, it just means more protests.

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.

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.


Maps will be back soon.

Next time, on this thing!:

Suspension of Campaign VIII

Thursday, June 9th, 2016


First rule of politics: always have the numbers.
Abbott
(R) did not.

Abbott
had a surprisingly strong run, and it wouldn't have been silly to think that he could take the whole thing. But since that initial big month,
Abbott
settled into always coming second, and never quite picking up enough support, and the writing was on the wall. Not even being able to make California matter was the final nail in the coffin. Apart from not having the delegates.

But it was a strong month.
Abbott
won every single early contest: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. The last was in a nailbiter against
Mothma
, and the Republican nominee,
Negarir
didn't even make double digits. But, that's what happens when six candidates enter. And once two candidates leave, the bigger coalition wins. That coalition was not
Abbott
's.

Abbott
lived like
Reckoner
did, except that the latter never had the advantage of a fractured field to start building on delegates. Once the field narrowed, though,
Abbott
turned out just like
Reckoner
: a factional candidate, polling around 30%, never higher, and sometimes lower. It was not for want of endorsements--and
Abbott
had many--or money--because
Abbott
was loaded--but voters. Some wanted
Abbott
. More didn't.

Negarir
is the Republican nominee. He inherits the Republican machine, and all its excesses. He's down in the polls, but if a conservative vision will visit this country, he's the last shot Republicans have.

Next time:
What on earth is happening in Democrat land?

June 10th

4 days until Washington D.C. (Democratic)
38 days until the Republican Convention
45 days until the Democratic Convention
151 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.


Friday's papers:
Abbott
withdraws and the hopes and dreams of an Australian diaspora rise and rise because of it.
Spire
drops some ads trying to cover up this attack ad nonsense, while
Negarir
just keeps on doing interviews, except this time more spicy because he's actually legit now.

Suspension of Campaign IX

Friday, June 10th, 2016


And with that, the primaries end.
Spire
(D) ends it.

You probably assumed that
Spire
didn't have the votes to come anywhere near
Serduchka
in California, and you would have been correct.

Spire
looked like he had everything sorted: good debate performances, personable manner, a strong campaign team, the whole works. And yet it never seemed to quite come together. Who knows what did him in. Momentum is difficult to overcome, though, and something about
Serduchka
managed to get the undecideds in her corner.
Spire
never managed that. While voters would abandon their suspended candidates for one of the big two, time and time again
Spire
would see his numbers drop despite it all. Something just didn't get the voters in his corner.

Spire
did well however, and it was certainly possible to conceive him winning a contested convention while
Reckoner
remained in. His numbers, however, just didn't rise to where they needed to be. It would be risky to call
Spire
a factional candidate, but that's how his candidacy behaved: attracting some voters, and never any more.

Spire
was rich, and
Spire
was likable, and
Spire
's campaign was smart, but sometimes, you get screwed over. This appears to be one of those times. In another go, in another circumstance,
Spire
could've done extremely well, but the only reason it seems he lost this time is "because".

Serduchka
is now the Democratic nominee. She leads the polls, but a lot of people have led the polls. She also needs to win, and after two Democratic terms, a third might be a big ask.
