NOVEMBER 1ST-NOVEMBER 8TH 2019 TURN

 

Tim Ryan Campaign @Sean F Kennedy

Rolls:6,7

Ryan focused on Iowa this week and succeeded in getting some ground in the first caucus state.His pledge for universal healthcare didn’t really make a splash because there are higher profile candidates pushing it  but voters like Ryan’s determination to push for it,his University of Iowa visit went smooth with students liking what they heard from Ryann.

Harkin Endorsement(need an 8 or higher):Rolls a 5!

Fmr.Sen.Harkin met with Ryan to discuss his campaign but neither him nor campaign made any public statement afterwards.

 

Mike Gravel Campaign @Timur

Rolls:5,1,3

Gravel didn’t have a good week as he focused on NH.Independent voters came to see him in decent numbers but they weren't quite impressed with what they heard,while his meeting with anti-nuclear activists was abruptly canceled causing questions about his health.His statement about sending Bush and Cheney to Hague got a lot of attention but it caused a lot of head shaking and just a bit of positive reactions mostly online.

al-Zariri Endorsement(need a 6 or higher):Rolls a 4!

Muntadhar al-Zariri publicly stated that Sen.Gravel called him with willingness to discuss his campaign,praising his "style" but emphasizing he can't fully support any American politician.

 

Deval Patrick Campaign @Cal

Rolls:4,6,9

Patrick had a fairly good week but not good enough to make a major breakthrough.His highest point was in IA where his fiscal policy strongly resonated with the crowds.His ads in SC help him boost name recognition but don't really impress most viewers.As for his media push,he got a couple of few minute appearances but nothing significant.

Vilsack Endorsement(needs an 8 or higher):Rolls a 7!

Vilsack gives a strong praise to Patrick but stops short of full endorsement.

 

Michael Bloomberg Campaign @Pringles

Rolls:6,9,8

Bloomberg had a strong week,especially in SC where his message resonates especially strongly amongst suburban voters who are seemingly becoming bedrock of his in state support.His attack on "unpopular radicals" in the party was well received by more centrist Democrats worried about the party going "too far left".He drew strong  crowds in NH,but some people left as soon as they got 20 bucks.

Mayor Benjamin Endorsement(needs a 6 or higher):Rolls a 3!

Mayor Benjamin met with Bloomberg and discussed his campaign but didn't make any public statement afterwards.

 

Elizabeth Warren Campaign @Hestia

Rolls:4,2,10

Warren had a mixed bag week.Her visit to Iowa University was met by excited crowds of students who just love her message of student debt forgiveness making major news headlines.She did weaker in the rest of the week as her other events in IA failed to attract such big crowds and failing to resonate with voters in NH.

Rep.Fikenauer Endorsement(needs a 6 or higher to endorse):Rolls a 10!

Rep.Fikenauer gave enthusiastic endorsement to Warren,calling her "the best candidate in my lifetime",instantly becoming one of campaign co-chairs.

 

Bill De Blasio Campaign @Cenzonico

Rolls:10,6,8

De Blasio had surprisingly strong week on campaign trail.His stunt in IA coming to a rally dressed as "da drip" attracted major media attention and people liked what they heard from him on climate change.His "personal questions" town hall also made a positive impact as it made him seem more relatable to average voters.His social media got a followers surge but nothing too significant.

Mayor Breed Endorsement(needs a 7 or more):Rolls a 4!

Mayor Breed talks with De Blasio over phone but declines to give him a full endorsement.

 

Bernie Sanders Campaign @Zenobiyl

Rolls:3,7,8

It wasn't a bad week,but people expected a bit more from Bernie Sanders.The ad touting his progressive record resonates well with NH voters,earning him some new supporters.His unions push is also strong,although some union members are still hesitant about supporting him.Bernie's weakest point came in IA where he didn't succeed to get enough volunteers to run planned activist operation 

Stacey Abrams Endorsement(needs to roll a 8 or higher):Rolls a 1!

Stacey Abrams warned that Democrats will "lose any chance to win GA" if they run a "candidate like Bernie Sanders for President"

 

Andrew Yang Campaign @The Blood

Rolls:9,6,7

Yang had a fairly strong week.His Freedom Dividend idea strongly resonated amongst the voters earning Yang a wave of new supporters.In NH people seem pretty open to his UBI ideas.

Childish Gambino Endorsement(needs a 6 or higher):Rolls a 2!

Gambino rejected a meeting with Yang,stating he "doesn't trust politicians promising a pie in the sky"

 

Beto O'Rourke Campaign @Fbarbarossa

Rolls:2,9,10

Beto had an overall good week focusing on IA.His ads explode throughout IA resonating with voters greatly as his message is clear and articulate on key issues,while his message of liberals being able to win excites voters in red states.The only real weak point was citing his TX loss as his credential,causing a backlash as people laugh it off.

Tom Harkin Endorsement(needs an 8 or higher):Rolls a 3!

Harkin briefly met with Beto,but wasn't really impressed with what he heard.

 

Amy Klobuchar Campaign @Rezi

Rolls:10,4,1

Klobuchar had a textbook definition of a mixed bag week.Her appearances at town halls in IA went great as she was clear,articulate and determined while answering voters questions.Klobuchar Pride merchandise sales are going pretty well,but become a laughing stock of some online memes.New Hampshire doesn't seem to care about her campaign at all.

Walter Mondale Endorsement(needs a 7 or higher):Rolls a 3!

Mondale talked with Klobuchar, giving her some campaign advice,but making no public statement.

 

Eric Swalwell Campaign @mark2

Rolls:5,6,2

Swalwell had a decent but not good week.His campaign in IA goes smooth but doesn't make much of an impact,but his ads end up as a waste of money as it fails to make any success.

Tom Harkin Endorsement(needs an 8 or more):Rolls a 2!

Harkin rejects meeting with Swalwell as his endorsement becomes the IA big prize 

 

Steve Bullock Campaign @Kitten

Rolls:5,3,2

It wasn't a good week for Bullock on campaign trail,as his town halls draw crowds but make no special impression on voters,and his appeal on farmers and free trade fails to resonate

Charlie Crist Endorsement(needs 8 or higher):Rolls a 10!

Fmr.Gov.Crist enthusiastically endorses Bullock at a well attended rally throwing his full weight behind his campaign.

 

Joe Biden Campaign @Dobs

Rolls:9,8,9

It was a good week for Democratic frontrunner.He held successful rallies in SC and NH,drawing big crowds of constituents willing to support him and his speech in NV was detailed and energetic leaving a good impression on the crowd.

Pres.Obama Endorsement(needs a 9 or higher):Rolls a 7!

Pres.Obama publicly praised Biden for his "leadership" and "patriotism" but emphasized he doesn't plan on endorsing any candidate this early on.

 

Marianne Williamson Campaign @WVProgressive

Rolls:7,10,10

Williamson Campaign had something that definitely could be called a surge this week,as her spiritual message resonated with voters in IA and CA giving her boost in two crucial states.She also made a connection with students in NH but they aren't ready to commit to her campaign yet.

Oprah Endorsement(has to be 8 or higher):Rolls a 3!

Oprah distances herself from the Williamson Campaign,wishing "her friend Marianne" good luck in the primary.

 

Cory Booker Campaign @Vols21

Rolls:8,1,7

Booker didn't have a bad week,but he didn’t have a good one either.He builds up his grassroots efforts,attends a joint fundraiser with Stacey Abrams giving him a boost in fundraising circles.His meeting with black leaders went poorly as most leaders didn't even show up making Booker a laughing stock.

Rep.Clyburn Endorsement(needs a 9 or higher):Rolls a 6!

Booker and Clyburn had a lengthy meeting covering most important issues,but no formal endorsement happened.

 

Pete Buttigieg Campaign @Ich_bin_Tyler

Rolls:9,9,9

Pete had a great week as his campaign is gaining momentum in IA with a successful series of town halls and rallies.He also gets a financial boost from a high profile fundraiser in San Francisco.

Dave Loebsack Endorsement(needs a 6 or higher):Rolls a 10!

Rep.Loebsack joins Buttigieg rally as a surprise guest and gives a passionate speech of support for the campaign.
 

Tulsi Gabbard Campaign @Willthescout7

Rolls:9,10,10

Tulsi campaign is gaining some real momentum as Clinton Democrats and blue collar workers like her style and see her as their potential champion in this race,her record of military service just helps impress some voters

Dennis Kucinich Endorsement(needs a 6 or higher):Rolls a 10!

Kucinich gave a passionate endorsement to Gabbard campaign,promising to actively participate in events and work to get Gabbard to the White House.

 

Richard Ojeda Campaign @Arkansas Progressive

Rolls:5,8,1

It wasn't a bad week,but Ojeda needed better in order to make an impact on his polling numbers.He succeeded in attracting solid amount of donations from IA progressives boosting his campaign coffers.He toured IA focusing on local issues,but his weak point came with a fundraiser in NH where he will to raise any sum that can be considered respectable.

Abby Finkenauer Endorsement(already endorsed Warren,needs a 10 to get co-endorsement):Finkenauer,new Warren campaign co-chair offered some light praise for Ojeda,calling his ideas "interesting" and emphasising he would be her "second choice candidate".

Marianne Williamson campaigns in South Carolina among religious Black voters, pledging to pass a $500 billion dollar reparations bill as President that will be used to rejuvenate majority-minority neighborhoods, environmentally, economically, and spiritually.

During a speech in New Hampshire Marianne Williamson talks about reforming the War on Drugs, to be less about punishing drug addicts, and more about getting people off drugs, and combatting drug dealers, and manufacturers, including the legal drug pushers in the pharmaceutical industry responsible for the Opioid Crisis. She also endorses the legalization, regulation, and taxation of Marijuana for medical, and recreational use, since it isn't as bad as tobacco, but also makes it clear she doesn't support legalizing or decriminalizing any other narcotics.

Marianne Williamson meets with Jewish voters in NYC, talking about her support for the state of Israel.

Endorsement: Williamson asks for the endorsement of Fmr. NH Rep Paul Hodges.

1. "That worked!?" is what the people at DeBlasio HQ exclaimed. DeBlasio could only laugh in delight. It worked! Da drip really came through for him and now he's keen on using it. But he's decided to do something special with it. The DeBlasio 2020 Tik Tok will be used to house a new "CoolBlasio" persona. Regular uploads of CoolBlasio rocking da drip across the campaign trail will be put on the platform in order to get even more publicity that the campaign desperately needs.

2. Bill DeBlasio stays in Iowa going to Cedar Rapids. He goes on the offensive against Donald Trump hoping to rile up the crowd in opposition towards him. 

3. DeBlasio then towards the Iowa suburbs citing policies that will help their families grow and thrive. We talking Universal Health Care, higher minimum wage, increase funding into education, tax breaks for the poor, and more!

Endorsement Request: DeBlasio will seek the endorsement of Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot. Citing similar policy objectives and purposes.

O'Rourke continues his touring through Iowa. He'll visit numerous small businesses and hold events across the areas he visits. During this he'll pledge that he won't take any support from anywhere for granted and will be grateful for every ounce he receives.

Still in Iowa O'Rourke will stage a large rally where he and campaign staff will speak about the main campaign policies and the vision of the campaign. Things such as healthcare and education will be among main things spoken about and O'Rourke will promise that if elected one of the first bills he will try to pass will be a stimulus package.

O'Rourke will visit Nevada and try to build up campaign infrastructure there. He'll open campaign bases and put out calls for volunteers while also holding a handful of rallies in the state.

Endorsement Request: Not gonna let Tom Harkin rest
