The Blood Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Hello all! Just wanted to make a return to tradition and run a good-old fashioned primary quickshot. Same rules apply as usual.

Debates will also be held as they came IRL, with the usual core message, pander, and attack system employed. Without further explanation, here are the candidates and their current standings!

Pringles Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Rubio heads to Iowa campaigning on being the young, charismatic Conservative that will lead the party to victory in 2016. Rubio heads to New Hampshire flexing his personality and charisma. Appealing to fiscal conservatives of the state and dispelling the notion that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. Rubio then heads to Nevada. Meeting with Hispanic/Latino Conservative groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitten Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Lindsay Graham will campaign in Iowa, he talks about scraping the Iran Nuclear Deal. "There will be holy hell to pay with the Iranians.

Rezi Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Bush goes to NH to hold a town hall. Bush gives a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where he notes that while he disagrees with gay marriage as a concept, the constitution and the will of the Supreme Court must be protected. Republicans can no longer fight against these civil liberties. Bush holds a megarally in Iowa, with both Georges, where he proposes the deregulation of agriculture, to increase profits for farmers and lower prices for consumers.

The Blood Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 On 3/25/2022 at 4:32 PM, Fbarbarossa said: Trump bursts onto the scene in the race with an inflammatory rally in front of Trump tower. He'll immediately swing down to Iowa and talk on how NAFTA and Immigrants are to blame for the plights of farmers. Heading to New Hampshire Trump will talk on tariffs and corruption Trump Tower: 6. Trump's rally is reasonably sized, but the event lacks the expected energy for a Trump rally, with Donald failing to grab headlines or whip up a frenzy in the crowd with his rhetoric. Iowa: 1! Trump will attack a desperate Iowa farmer at the event. The farmer, who will plead to Trump that his farm is failing and he fears that Trump will worsen his situation as President, describing how the farming industry depends on easy access to foreign markets, will be viciously derided by Donald, who declares, "Yeah yeah, it's people like you I want to send out of this country, just like the illegals! I hope you lose your farm, get out of here!", causing a mass controversy in the media and among Iowa Republicans. New Hampshire: 9. On the other hand, Trump will campaign to cheering crowds and excited supporters in New Hampshire, boosting his campaign in the state. Overall: 0. A mixed week all-around. Despite success in New Hampshire and in front of Trump Tower, Trump's Iowa controversy hits his campaign hard in a crucial state while bringing any potential national momentum to a halt. On 3/25/2022 at 4:55 PM, Hestia said: Chris Christie will begin his campaign in nearby New Hampshire, focusing on a more moderate brand of Republican politics. Christie will make his first visit to Iowa, getting to know voters in Waukee. Christie will return to New Hampshire, talking about the need to project strength abroad. New Hampshire: 9. Christie will receive a welcome reception in New Hampshire, campaigning to large and receptive crowds wherever he goes as moderates in the state begin to consider him as their bet. Iowa: 2. In Iowa, however, Governor Christie will be met with small crowds and bored voters, with those in Waukee saying that they simply don't trust Christie after all they heard during Bridgegate and that they want a more conservative nominee than him. New Hampshire: 9. Returning to New Hampshire Christie will once again find success, with voters excited and energized hearing his foreign policy pitch, ready to see President Christie restore America's prestige internationally. Overall: +5. Despite a rough time in Iowa, Christie builds up significant strength in New Hampshire, helping his campaign nationally and in the first primary state to vote. On 3/25/2022 at 6:03 PM, Sean F Kennedy said: 1. Kasich holds a rally in Columbus, citing his successes as Governor of Ohio, his willingness to work with Democrats and borrowing a phrase from George W. Bush the need for “compassionate conservative”. 2. Kasich will hold town halls all over New Hampshire looking to get non typical voters, independents and even dissatisfied Democrats. 3. Kasich will campaign in Nevada, speaking the need for immigration reform, citing Reagan’s 1986 Immigration Act. Columbus: 3. Many conservatives will criticize Kasich for the rally, saying he'd be a "suck-up" to Democrats as President, and the rally itself sees a small crowd and limited positive coverage. New Hampshire: 10! In New Hampshire Kasich will propel his campaign forward! Gathering support from all party affiliations, Kasich will strengthen his broad coalition in the state with every town hall and handshake, holding long discussions with voters and fighting for every last vote. Nevada: 3. Once again, Kasich will receive attacks as a "RINO" over his moderate views, and few in Nevada will seem open to his campaign or excited about immigration reform as an issue. Overall: +1. Despite failures in his home state of Ohio and Nevada, Kasich will keep his campaign going with an excellent push in New Hampshire. On 3/25/2022 at 6:36 PM, Pringles said: Rubio heads to Iowa campaigning on being the young, charismatic Conservative that will lead the party to victory in 2016. Rubio heads to New Hampshire flexing his personality and charisma. Appealing to fiscal conservatives of the state and dispelling the notion that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. Rubio then heads to Nevada. Meeting with Hispanic/Latino Conservative groups. Iowa: 10! Rubio takes Iowa by storm! His campaign surges among those looking for an electable, energetic conservative, with many viewing him as the future of the Republican Party. New Hampshire: 5. Rubio does fine campaigning in New Hampshire, but voters find him repetitive and seem more interested in the campaigns of Christie and Kasich. Nevada: 9. Rubio will gain significant ground with the Hispanic vote in Nevada, building his campaign in the state to success. Overall: +9. Rubio will surge with strong successes in both Iowa and Nevada, with some in the media opining about the "Marcomentum" seen in the Republican Primary. On 3/25/2022 at 10:25 PM, Kitten said: Lindsay Graham will campaign in Iowa, he talks about scraping the Iran Nuclear Deal. "There will be holy hell to pay with the Iranians. We'll bomb them to oblivion before they bomb us." Graham will campaign in Iowa where he talks about his tax cut proposal. "I'm gonna cut your taxes." Graham will campaign in Iowa where he talks about trade deals under his administration. Iowa: 5. Some are excited by Graham's rhetoric, others are horrified, it balances out. Iowa: 10! As Graham speaks, the simple words "cut your taxes" send the crowd into a wild frenzy. Graham is lifted up in the air, as the people of Iowa give him their praise, declaring him the next Ronald Reagan and the "Tax cutting savior" of the Republican Primary. Iowa: 3. Graham will go into tedious detail over his trade plans, going so far as to discuss his specific thoughts on America's blueberry trade with Kenya. Needless to say, the crowd will slowly dissipate from his event. Overall: +3. Graham gains momentum in Iowa, with a groundbreaking event on taxes followed by a less successful discussion of trade policy. On 3/25/2022 at 10:33 PM, Rezi said: Bush goes to NH to hold a town hall. Bush gives a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where he notes that while he disagrees with gay marriage as a concept, the constitution and the will of the Supreme Court must be protected. Republicans can no longer fight against these civil liberties. Bush holds a megarally in Iowa, with both Georges, where he proposes the deregulation of agriculture, to increase profits for farmers and lower prices for consumers. NH: 10! Bush will prove himself to be high-energy in New Hampshire, drawing in a large crowd of voters to his event and giving them a strong and motivating message. And at the end they even clap without being asked to! Ronald Reagan Presidential Library: 10! Moderates will rally around Bush for his sensible and reasonable messaging on the Supreme Court, with many declaring that this shows his level-headed nature and willingness to compromise for the strength of America's institutions. Iowa: 8. The megarally is well-attended, with rural voters appreciative of Bush's plans to support the agriculture industry. Overall: +13! Bush surges nationwide as voters rally around his cause. Making gains in both Iowa and New Hampshire, Jeb! may be setting himself up for a strong performance in the early states to further grow his revived campaign. 23 hours ago, Timur said: 1.Cruz will visit Iowa and talk with rural voters. 2.Cruz will visit New Hampshire and meet and greet with voters. 3.Cruz will take a visit to evangelical churches in South Carolina, emphasizing that America was founded on Christian values. Iowa: 3. Cruz will come off as uncharismatic and "slimy" according to one voter who attended his event. New Hampshire: 2. One policy-minded New Hampshirite will ask a specific question of Cruz regarding his proposal for a flat tax. Cruz will then give a simple "we need to cut taxes in America", dodging every request to give specifics on his plan while being recorded, hurting his New Hampshire campaign. South Carolina: 5. With a middling performance across the state, Cruz will fail to excite evangelical voters with his campaign. Overall: -5. With failures in both Iowa and New Hampshire, Cruz 2016 starts the year with a rough week on the trail. 23 hours ago, Zenobiyl said: 1. [Iowa] (Nationalists) Rand Paul does a series of barnstorms in Iowa, speaking at length to voters about his views on the need to clamp down on illegal immigration and improve border security through a strengthened border patrol force. 2. [Iowa] (Libertarians) Rand Paul holds rallies in Iowa pledging to voters to repeal the PATRIOT Act and limit the power of the executive branch over individual privacy. 3. [Iowa]: (Conservatives) Rand Paul launches a tour of every county in Iowa, meeting voters and knocking on doors. He emphasizes lowered taxes and key culture war issues. Iowa: 8. Paul's rhetoric on immigration does well, bringing in nativists to his campaign. Iowa: 3. On the other hand, few Iowans seem enthused by Paul's rhetoric on the PATRIOT Act, with many viewing him as weak on national security issues, and libertarians feeling unenergetic for what they view as a doomed campaign. Iowa: 6. Conservatives will prove receptive to Paul's messaging, though Rand's tour fails to provide substantial strength to his campaign. Overall: +2. In a week of big successes for his competitors, Paul carries on with acceptable progress in Iowa as the week ends. 9 hours ago, Rodja said: 1.Dr.Carson campaigns in IA promising to repeal ObamaCare in first 100 days. 2.Dr.Carson in addres to IA veterans promises to pull all troops out of Afghanistan. 3.Dr.Carson will seek endorsement from Fmr.Gov.Palin Iowa: 2. Carson will be booed by an elderly man at his event, who declares that Obamacare saved his life. Carson will seem dismissive in response, brushing the man aside in an incident which takes hold in the local media, hurting his Iowa campaign. Iowa: 3. Neoconservatives will attack Carson for the statement, declaring that the candidate intends to "abandon America's allies" and "give into terrorists" abroad. Sarah Palin: 10! Governor Palin will give a glowing endorsement to Carson, giving a needed boost to his campaign. Overall: 0. Carson's Iowa campaign takes serious hits this week, but his national momentum is saved by a strong endorsement from Sarah Palin. 5 hours ago, mark2 said: 1. Fiorina will visit voters in Iowa and discuss the end of middle eastern involvement such as Afghanistan, and the death of ISIS 2. Fiorina will host a town hall in Des Moines, Iowa 3. Fiorina will go to New Hampshire to speak about corruption. Iowa: 4. As with Carson, Fiorina will be attacked by Neocons for her rhetoric on Afghanistan, though her attacks on ISIS help shield from the pushback. Iowa: 7. Fiorina's townhall goes well, with strong turnout and a solid performance from Fiorina. New Hampshire: 1! Just as Carly begins her event on corruption, unconfirmed reports break that following her post-debate surge in 2015, her campaign had been in touch with multiple high-level lobbyists from the oil industry, and soon after donations were made to support her campaign from the oil industry. As Fiorina rails against corruption on stage, her campaign is hit with questions regarding its connections with the oil industry and Carly's ability to serve as President free of corporate influence. While the unconfirmed nature of the reports shield Fiorina, and her campaign is low-level enough to avoid mass scrutiny, her campaign takes a hit, and the New Hampshirites at her event actively question a confused candidate as Carly finishes her speech. Overall: -4. Despite a successful Des Moines townhall, hits from Neocons and a notable corruption scandal drag Fiorina's campaign down. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
