Chris Christie!

I didn’t know you were so based on this issue! Maybe someday we’ll get the world where the CIA coups both Hamas and Likud! Until then, one of the two sides is at least marginally pro-US and the other isn’t so that makes the decision easy.

This thread killed chatgpt btw

Jon Bois is goated, surprising to see him out in the politics world, but a welcome surprise!

Agreed. The language specifying "national election" makes me think that they meant Supreme Court Justices, as well as the fact that "Federal Judges" has previously been used to mean Supreme Court Justices, as in the 8-Year Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices amendment.

Not sure. Direct Election of Federal Judges has its special rules laid out whereas Make Supreme Court Justices Elected doesn't. They could be two quickly-thrown together attempts at the same law, or maybe there's a distinction between Supreme Court Justices and Federal Justices?

Replace with Direct Election of Federal Judges Amendment

Problem: I can’t repeal the civil rights act of 1964 Solution: Make the civil rights act of 1964 repealable

William L Armstrong will propose repealing President Elections by Party Tickets Amendment George H W Bush will propose Expand Income Tax Loopholes Robert D Orr will propose Restrict unfair labor practices, including most kinds of strikes John E Davis will propose repealing Ban Racial Segregation in schools, employment and public accomodations Direct Election of Federal Judges Amendment Don Nickles will propose repealing Create a Highway Tax

William Dunn @pmanfor Governor, Bob Corker (WillCPU) for Rep.

I'm confused by the wording, is this telling me to not name replacements or just to not name Alexander and Brock?

Aye

@Hestia @10centjimmy @Fbarbarossa @Cal @The Blood @Sean F Kennedy @WVProgressive @Cenzonico @wendell willkie fan Thanks to everybody who participated for an incredible RP run that I think is memorable in a whole lot of different ways. In the coming days I'm going to find a way to give a proper ending to this RP, ending with the General Election results. It's been fun, I can't wait to run another one!

A surprise scandal has hit Mario Cuomo! After some investigative journalism over these last few months, a team of nonpartisan investigators reveal to the press shortly before the second ballot that, in January, Governor Mario Cuomo went to a routine checkup with his physician, where he expressed concern over a cough. After antibiotic treatment failed, he went in for a scan to see if anything was wrong. This scan revealed the presence of Stage 2 Lung Cancer, which both may have contributed to his lack of campaign success and raises questions about integrity and his fitness to run the nation. Mario Cuomo has gained -5 momentum!

McGovern: 6. Newman's posturing has little impact on Teflon George, but he does get a few Hollywood liberals to see his plight. Plains: 10! Bob Kerrey's meeting with Plains representatives goes incredibly well. His rise on the first ballot was unexpected to many delegates, so some attention is coming his way and being a Nebraskan moderate makes support from the Plains easier to gain. Moderates: 7. They don't all love him, but with McGovern and Cuomo as the two leading candidates, and Moynihan's ideology being a bit complex at times, it's easy for moderates to see themselves coalescing around Kerrey. Midwest: 9. Kerrey makes a strong pitch to strengthen his grip on his second strongest region. Particularly in some of the more Plainsy states of the Midwest. Overall: +11. Some incredible momentum for Bob Kerrey this turn. Kerrey's charisma black hole made him a nonstarter for primary voters, but he does have some damn good skill as an insider. Northeast: 6. Moynihan is able to make a bit of progress, but McGovern delegates are very dug-in and Cuomo delegates are far too afraid of The Prophet to do much of anything. Beastie Boys: 6. The band declines, but they send a message out to the world calling for "civility and love" to return to America. Orthodox Rabbi: 5. Governor Clinton is still waiting to see what needs to happen. Overall: +2. It wasn't an incredible turn, but at least it wasn't a bad one. Minnesota: 1! These guys have all been fully behind Traficant before now, but some sense of post-ballot clarity has suddenly hit them, and they suddenly are finding him to be rather revolting. Peterson is even seen weeping in the corner for the fact that Traficant won his home county. Ohio: 2. Traficant has misread the Ohian room a bit with this one. What he hadn't quite understood is that a large majority of his Ohian delegates aren't exactly huge advocates of his, they moreso see him as a means to an end who exists to keep delegates away from McGovern. Maine: 10! But the Maine delegation? Big Jim fans. He wows them with his aggressive go-getter attitude and willingness to speak his mind. They have not found anyone properly to coalesce around, so can that be Traficant? Overall: -3. Not a great turn for Traficant, but at least he's able to salvage some favor with the Maine delegation. Flay: 10! The message is sent. Cuomo was already starting to shed delegates, and now his remaining delegates are shedding their skin! Fear has been struck into the heart of convention attendees, and enough of the convention police force are Northern European protestants that there's no way to stop the Prophet. South: 8. The South is finally starting to see McGovern as a true believer of the southern cause. Notably, he's able to come to an agreement with Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, who promises to get the Alabama delegates in line. Soda, OJ, Purple Stuff: 9. The ads are a rousing success, and all of a sudden delegates to the convention find themselves swamped by calls from constituents expressing their support for the McGovern/Simpson ticket. Overall: +12, -1 (Newman) = +11. Wow, McGovern had a great turn last time, but not he's just bringing it back. He wants to lock up this nomination here and now. Can he? Strings: 3. At this point, Cuomo's strings are so old and worn thin that he can't really do much pulling at all without completely snapping. Goldman: 5. Look, look and look they do. But nothing is found. Cuomo is just lucky that nothing about this has come out, investigating political opponents in 1992 doesn't come across very well. McGovern: 7. Truman and Cooper make their rounds, investigating and letting their results be known. However, their conclusions really just end up being "yeah this mf crazy", which does still hurt him, but not much. Overall: 0. A complete nothing turn for Cuomo, which is good enough for second worst this time.
