Kitten Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Bullock announces candidacy for President Montana Governor Steve Bullock joined a crowded field in the Democratic Primary today. The outgoing Governor is hoping to move up in life and make a long shot bid for the White House. "We're going to bring Montana values into the White House. Bipartisanship. We'll protect your second amendment rights and protect a woman's right to choose. We're going to protect our constitution and we'll get rid of big government."

Rodja Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 2020 ANNOUNCEMENTS ROLL Pete Buttigieg Campaign Announcement @Ich_bin_Tyler Publicity:5 Message:10 Base:3 Young gay mayor of South Bend,IN was the first candidate to officially enter the presidential race.His announcement rally had pretty average attendance and got a mention on major media networks but didnt get much attention or caused any splash.His speech impressed pundits and voters who followed the event and his call for action drew comparisons to Obama 2008 campaign speeches.His biggest issue might be the absence of the clear base as he tried to appeal to both Clinton and Sanders 2016 supporters but failed to really impress either. Richard Ojeda Campaign Announcement @Arkansas Progressive Publicity:10 Message:2 Base:3 Major shock to media world was announcement from WV State Sen Richard Ojeda who drew huge crowd to his announcement rally bringing his name to all headlines on major media networks increasing his national name recognition from abysmal to high.But he didn't get much positive press from all that attention since all major Democrats harshly criticized him for “trying to destroy party from within”,calling on him to join Republican party.He fails to really build his base as anti-elitist Democrats favor big names like Sanders and Warren over Ojeda Michael Bloomberg Campaign Announcement @Pringles Publicity:5 Message:1 Base:8 Bloomberg's announcement was followed by major news networks but didn't make much of a splash.His speech though was heavily criticized as “an attempt of bribery to boost his campaign crowds”,progressive activists call him out as “arrogant oligarch”.Nevertheless,Bloomberg successfully appealed to centrist Democrats who like him despite poor kick off. Amy Klobuchar Campaign Announcement @Rezi Publicity:7 Message:6 Base:9 Klobuchar announcement didn't really dominate the news cycle but it received a fair share of media attention.Klobuchar speech was well written and well executed but much of attention was diverted from main points of her speech to her usage of word "crap" and her standing in the snowstorm,but message was well received by those it was directed to as pragmatic liberals see Klobuchar as their champion. Bill De Blasio Campaign Announcement @Cenzonico Publicity:1 Message:4 Base:7 De Blasio's announcement failed to get any real attention and only most ardent De Blasio followers know that he is even running for President.His speech was just plain average but progressive NYC De Blasio fans like him and are ready to vote for him,just a shame there aren't many of them. Mike Gravel Campaign Announcement @Timur Publicity:4 Message:6 Base:1 Gravel video gets some attention online but it doesn't translate into media attention needed for higher name recognition.His speech was well executed harsh criticism of both establishments but despite that he fails to find any real base except hard left online zoomers. Bernie Sanders Campaign Announcement @Zenobiyl Publicity:7 Message:3 Base:4 Sanders announcement got a fair share of attention by media and voters but it wasn't a spectacular beginning people were expecting from Bernie Sanders.His speech was decent but was overshadowed by other speakers,getting Bernie criticism from pundits for bringing entire "cast and crew" to rally.While Bernie still has support among progressives that base has more options in 2020,making Bernie a potential victim of his own 2016 success. Deval Patrick Announcement @Cal Publicity:3 Message:4 Base:9 Gov.Patrick's announcement got a mention or two on major news networks but couldn't be considered major campaign news.His speech was just alright and he resonated very well with religious black voters proving there might be room for him in this crowded race after all. Joe Biden Announcement @Dobs Publicity:1 Message:6 Base:8 Biden delivered his announcement speech to abysmal audience,very disappointing to fmr.Vice President and that fact drawn most media attention away from the event itself giving Biden negative press.His speech was unifying but not too inspiring but his core base just likes Joe the way he is and is ready to support him. Marianne Williamson Campaign Announcement @WVProgressive Publicity:8 Speech:4 Base:8 Spiritual author Marianne Williamson running for President really got some real media attention as her rally is covered on major news networks.Her speech was your average spiritual author preaching love and it didn't make too big of an impression,but progressive base definitely likes Marianne,they are just hesitant to support her. Beto O'Rourke Campaign Announcement @Fbarbarossa Publicity:2 Message:2 Base:7 Beto had a bad opening,you could definitely say so.Not much people even care that he is running,his speech was poorly delivered with Beto 2018 energy and charisma nowhere to be seen.The only thing keeping his announcement above the water are Beto fans who stick with their guy and are ready to devote to this campaign. Tim Ryan Campaign Announcement @Sean F Kennedy Publicity:3 Message:8 Base:2 Another announcement that didn't get enough attention,Ryan delivered a strong speech but his blue collar base already has their candidates they favor over Tim. Cory Booker Campaign Announcement @Vols21 Publicity:10 Message:5 Base:10 Sen.Booker entered the race for the nomination with a splash!All media networks were showing excerpts from his speech and talking about his campaign.His speech was nothing too great or inspiring but the base he targeted just loves Cory and is ready to throw their support behind him. Elizabeth Warren Campaign Announcement @Hestia Publicity:9 Message:10 Base:6 Sen.Warren had what could be called the strongest kick off of all the Democratic candidates.Her announcement rally gathered a big crowd of supporters as well as intense media coverage.She gave a firebrand exciting progressive speech focusing on major left wing priorities and her agenda of big structural change.The issue for her campaign might be that while progressives like her,some of them are not yet over her rejection to support Bernie in 2016 while some just prefer other progressives. Eric Swalwell Campaign Announcement @mark2 Publicity:10 Message:2 Base:1 Swalwell announcement certainly gathered a lot of media attention,the only problem is it being a bad media attention.His speech went viral for being filled with empty slogans and parols without any real agenda or issues mentioned.Blue collar and young voters outright reject voting for Swalwell,leaving him essentially without core base. Tulsi Gabbard Campaign Announcement @Willthescout7 Publicity:5 Speech:6 Base:8 Gabbard announcement rally got just an average coverage for campaign announcement without too much fanfare.Her speech was good,but nothing special that could drastically improve her chances in this primary.She has a solid base of anti-war Democrats and Independents who like her anti-war Message. Andrew Yang Campaign Announcement @The Blood Publicity:10 Message:8 Base:8 Andrew Yang went from political nobody to a rockstar in a day as his announcement got everybody talking on both social media and mainstream media.His Message of UBI and Trump being just a symptom get a positive reaction amongst most Democrats.Young progressives seem to really like Yang but aren't ready to throw their support behind him yet,but he will definitely be strong in that demographic. Steve Bullock Campaign Announcement @Kitten Publicity:10 Speech:9 Base:7 Gov.Bullock of Montana took his time being the final candidate to officially announce he is running.His announcement was covered by media fanfare as moderate governor entered the race,his speech was very articulate and sharp focused on the need for bipartisanship resonating with moderate Democrats as well as Republicans and independents.Blue Dogs love Bullock as their champion,but they aren't Democrats most powerful wing in 2020 primaries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodja Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 NOVEMBER 1ST-NOVEMBER 8TH 2019 TURN This is the first official campaign turn for our RP so i will repeat rules once again! Timeline for events will be 48 hours since this is posted,when this expires we proceed to next turn skipping all the candidates who havent posted yet. If candidate misses the timeline 3 times they automatically drop out. You post 3 campaign events that can be as brief or long as you want but most include either a rally,fundraiser,town hall or a similar campaign event. You have a right to make one endorsement request each turn,you post endorsement request together with your events in this topic.Whether the person endorses you will be determined by a dice roll but based on realism.For example: If @Zenobiylasks AOC to endorse Bernie dice will have to roll just a 6/10 or above for it to happen,but if he asks for Hillary Clinton to do so it will take a 10/10 roll. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC POLLS(AMONGST DECIDED VOTERS) Biden:27.9% @Dobs Sanders:20.8% @Zenobiyl Warren:19.1% @Hestia Buttigieg:8.9% @Ich_bin_Tyler Klobuchar:7.1% @Rezi Booker:5.6% @Vols21 Bloomberg:2.8% @Pringles O'Rourke:2.8% @Fbarbarossa Yang:2.8% @The Blood Gabbard:1.5% @Willthescout7 Bullock:1.2% @Kitten Patrick:0.8% @Cal Williamson:0.4% @WVProgressive Ojeda:0.2% @Arkansas Progressive De Blasio:0.1% @Cenzonico Ryan:0.1% @Sean F Kennedy Gravel:0.1% @Timur Swalwell:0.1% @mark2 (27% Undecided) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) 1. Deval Patrick knows that he has a name recognition issue. However, he is confident that once voters get to know him and the policies he is advocating, they will be receptive to his candidacy even amongst a crowded field. His first step to voter name recognition will be working on securing appearances with major news networks. CNN, Fox News, CNBC, whoever will take him for an interview. 2. Patrick will release a flurry of ads in South Carolina and Nevada emphasizing his position as assistant U.S. attorney for the civil rights division from 1994-1997 in the Clinton administration. 3. Finally, the campaign will make its first official stop in Iowa, speaking on the importance of encouraging economic growth through liberal fiscal policy. Endorsement: The Patrick campaign will work to obtain the endorsement of former Iowa Governor and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. He will stress their connection as moderate governors who have worked hard to encourage business activity in their state without cost to the working-class.

Hestia Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 1. Elizabeth Warren begins her campaign in Iowa, holding a rally in Des Moines and speaking of a need to transform the idea of America and make it truly accessible for anyone in the country, not just those that are at the top. 2. Warren makes a trip to New Hampshire, a state right near her own that shares a media market with Boston. She speaks glowingly of trips to New Hampshire during her lifetime and pledges that she will be a champion for them in the White House. 3. Elizabeth Warren makes a stop in Iowa City to speak at the University of Iowa, speaking with college students about forgiving student debt and the impact that student loans have already had on their lives and the impact that it will have on them for the future as well.

Cenzonico Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) 1. Bill DeBlasio didn't have the greatest of starts. He still remains nearly unrecognizable in the face of the public eye and is amongst the lowest polling candidates. Because of this DeBlasio will change strategies. DeBlasio will hold a rally on the importance of fighting climate change in Des Moines, Iowa but will come dressed up with da drip. Da drip will be an attempt to look hip and cool as it has totally worked before. It will work. . . right? 2. The DeBlasio campaign team will go full throttle in establishing an online presence. Tik Tok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, everywhere! We need more name rec and grassroots support! 3. DeBlasio holds a town hall in da drip of course in Des Moines as a "Get to know me" sort of deal. He will let people ask very personal questions and he will answer them to the best of his ability. The hope is that DeBlasio will come off as relatable to voters not just in Des Moines but across America. Endorsement Request: DeBlasio himself honestly has no idea who in the right mind would endorse him. But he will ask the Mayor of San Francisco London Breed for an endorsement. He stresses the similar record the two mayors have and how DeBlasio is the only candidate that puts the Working Class first!
