i kinda want him to just literally take d.c. like an absolute madman given that's the only ballot he's on

the last bits for tonight will be finishing off washington d.c. democratic (that'll be basically a serduchka sweep since no other candidate is still in, spoiler alert), and getting everything aligned to tuesday so i can do this week-by-week

Drench · Post Post #429 (ISO) » Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:27 am

June 11th

3 days until Washington D.C. (Democratic)
37 days until the Republican Convention
45 days until the Democratic Convention
150 days until the Presidential Election

Headlines

The papers are released each day in the morning, and describe what happened the previous day.

Saturday:

Abbott

and

Spire

are gone. Only

Negarir

and

Serduchka

are left, and one of them will be President. The promise of America is strong.

Negarir

is convinced that he alone can

privatize

save Social Security on Colbert.

Serduchka

I presume is just enjoying herself.

Sunday:

The last primary ads are reverberating around the media spheres, including a cute one that threatens the world with disaster if

Abbott

ever got elected. What a laugh!

Monday:

Orlando. It's not a good day. It's 100% not a good day.

Serduchka

and

Negarir

are even in polling.

Negarir

's comments about terrorism on Fox News Sunday the day before suffer no aging. Likewise,

Serduchka

, Maddow.

Sen. Ron Johnson

endorses

Serduchka

(I hate this endorsement engine).

Tuesday:

Military intervention: who should we bomb, and how much?

Negarir

thinks a reasonable amount suffices, and that pleases many.

Serduchka

gets asked why she can't close the deal in the polling, which is weird, because constitutionally speaking, the deal can't be closed for another 148 days.

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: News cycle strength

Spoiler: Ads

Spoiler: Scandals

Spoiler: The rest

THE MAP

Ignore McMullin. Blue means Democratic, red means Republican, white means too close to call.

This is polling:

real results

will

vary, and weird polls

will

happen.

Democratic-moving states:

we need

Republican-moving states:

more than one week

Current tossups:

before this matters

According to polling, the current college looks like:

320

-

218

Next time, on this thing!:

Washington, D.C. finishes its shit.

WASHINGTON D.C. (

DEMOCRATIC

)

this is very open and shut. 46 delegates, and they go to Serduchka.

Candidate	Vote share	# of votes	Delegates won
Serduchka	100%	98,398	46 dels

okay so now that we are out of the one-election-a-game-week phase, lmk what you want, whether it's more in-depth news or less in-depth news, other shit like that
also i think i can view detailed strategies of both candidates state-wise now so if ur gaggin' for that
for example, serduchka has hardcore built in pennsylvania

Kublai Khan · Post Post #434 (ISO) » Mon Apr 03, 2017 8:23 am

I would like to

suck up to

congratulate Negarir on winning the nomination, he is certainly the leader we need to make sure Democrats aren't happy. If offered a cabinet post, I certainly would make sure to stick it to liberals every chance I get.

And by "stick it", I mean literally stab with a spear.

ISO · Post Post #435 (ISO) » Mon Apr 03, 2017 8:32 am

Well I'm very against that so I assume Negarir is for it

Solid pander

JDGA · Post Post #436 (ISO) » Mon Apr 03, 2017 9:00 am

Incidentally, one thing I think isn't covered in the stats is states carried:

Democrats	% of Dels	States
Serduchka	53.05%	39
Spire	28.14%	4
Reckoner	8.08%	5
McGriddles	6.57%	1
Peanuts	4.16%	1

Republicans	% of Dels	States
Negarir	58.25%	31
Abbott	28.72%	13
Khan	5.14%	4
Defender	4.57%	1
TSL	3.11%	1
Mothma	0.20%	0

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?

Vijarada · Post Post #442 (ISO) » Mon Apr 03, 2017 7:24 pm

do you think he'll spend the whole time agitating against the president to try and unseat him in four years, or will he try to become VP and murder the president?

The Week of June 15th

33 days until the Republican Convention
41 days until the Democratic Convention
146 days until the Presidential Election

Headlines

The papers are released each day in the morning, and describe what happened the previous day.

Wednesday's papers:

Incredible. The primaries are done. I can rest.

Serduchka

takes D.C., obviously, and seals things up just that little bit more. There's a little bit of leaking of discarded primary campaign material from

Negarir

, but it's nothing that serious, let's be real. Both hit up gun control policies with the pundits, and

Gov. John Kasich

continues to increase my ire with this endorsement system by going for

Serduchka

.

Thursday:

Negarir

has a massive speech on the War on Terror, and suggests we're gonna have a lot of fun being monitored at all times because it'll end with terrorists exploding.. He also gets the endorsement of

Sen. Sherrod Brown

, because, ugh.

Friday:

Kiss those lips in satisfaction, folks, because

Negarir

looked downright presidential on Fox News.

Sen. Thom Tillis

really hates unions and so goes all in for

Negarir

, while

Sen. Rob Portman

thinks that jumping party lines is just a thing that's realistic to do and endorses

Serduchka

.

Serduchka

is today in Oregon, and

Negarir

is in Florida.

Saturday:

Jay Inslee

gets protested while stumping for

Serduchka

(something about emails, I think).

Serduchka

is today in Oregon, and

Negarir

is in Texas.

Sunday:

Hey look over there it's

Negarir

questioning whether a grown man with a star on his head can lead the country on O'Reilly.

Serduchka

is today in Oregon, and

Negarir

is in Florida.

Monday:

The polls are even :O it's within 0.7% :O :O

Serduchka

is today in Ohio, and

Negarir

is in Arizona.

I didn't get this either, very sorry.

Next time, on this thing!:

we're finally on a tuesday -> monday cycle so things should now run more smoothly

Also I thought you all might like to know that at the moment, Serduchka's running on how shit Negarir will be at fighting terror, how shit Negarir will be at cutting social security, and how awesome Serduchka'll be at fixing healthcare. Negarir is running on how shit Serduchka would be as a leader, how shit Serduchka'd be at fighting terror, and how great Negarir'd be at getting government out of people's lives.

The Week of June 21st

27 days until the Republican Convention
35 days until the Democratic Convention
140 days until the Presidential Election

Headlines

The papers are released each day in the morning, and describe what happened the previous day.

Wednesday's papers:

Negarir

would never use a private email server, and that's a fact that you can take straight to the bank, O'Reilly.

Thursday:

Serduchka

is on the stump preaching the gospel about maybe fixing up Obamacare a little bit maybe that'd be cool, and Floridians are lapping it up.

Friday:

B R E X I T

Also,

Negarir

, who gives far too many interviews to the O'Reilly Factor, pledges to destroy all terrorists, while

Dick Cheney

gets some Iraq war protesters at an event for him.

Saturday:

Negarir

artfully dodges some shockin' questions about Social Security on Fox News Sunday, while

Serduchka

ups the unions on O'Reilly.

Negarir

is confident that if we sign twelve hundred NAFTAs, the economy will be excellent. Also, that

Serduchka

's a taxing and spending freak, is his second bit.

Sunday:

Negarir

is coy about

Dick Cheney

on Colbert, but of course the Iraq war was a mistake. Duh.

Monday:

Wew lads,

Negarir

is ready to lead, and who doesn't want to be led by a warthog. That's the message from his Fox News Sunday stint, in any case.

Tuesday:

And again with the Iraq war!

Negarir

is even more emphatic about how bad it was on Maddow, while

Serduchka's

being asked: why can't he seal the deal against a warthog?

Serduchka

is today in Indiana, and

Negarir

is in Colorado.
