Hillary Events

1x (BILL CLINTON ENDORSE ME ALREADY)

2x Iowa

(3) “Nah Hillary I’m big chilling” - Bill Clinton

(20!) The people of Iowa seem to have a lot of sympathy for Hillary because of how shitty Bill is treating her.

(16) Sympathy support might not be the greatest support but Hillary will take any support right now.

+4  Clinton begins to see some due to sympathy.

1: Kucinich going to prime pump the campaign with a reshuffle to get some momentum back. We will attempt to play down policy and lean in on a Carteresque pitch to honesty and decency (please South Carolina I swear I'm not spooky) 

2: Kucinich will ask for the endorsement of South Carolina Senator Ernest "Fritz" Hollings. To back him up he will ask for the help of fellow South Carolinian Rep Clyburn and Jesse Jackson whom Hollings endorsed in 1988. We'll cut to the chase and simply pitch how his policies will help South Carolina.

3: Rallies in Iowa with Dick Gephardt with the theme of "Stop thinking im a spooky radical" 

(42) The campaign shuffle is less than convincing unfortunately a lot of moderates are still scared of the idea of a Kucinich nomination.

(20!) in a complete shocker Hollings endorses Kucinich enthusiastically currently the Clinton campaign headquarters in South Carolina is in disarray And what was supposed to be a extremely safe state for Clinton

(6) The rallies in Iowa are less than stellar 

0  Kucinich is at absolute zero momentum either way.

1.Nader will seek the endorsement of Eugene McCarthy.

2.Nader and Gravel will do a campaign ad together.

3.Nader promises to reform the criminal justice system.

(12) Eugene McCarthy endorses Nader but it doesn’t make any major headlines.

(4) Nader and gravel commit various gaffes together

(1!)  Nadir makes a major gap by saying he will be tough on crime infuriating his core base. 

-2  Nader will see a falling in Support for the first time

On 5/25/2022 at 8:26 AM, ShortKing said:

1. Governor Bush again reaches out to Colin Powell for an endorsement, citing the need to rally behind a credible conservative candidate before Buchanan picks up too much steam.

2. Bush holds a town hall event with students at Iowa State University.

3. Bush reaches out to New Hampshire Congressman John Sununu for an endorsement.

(19) George Bush gets the endorsement of colon Powell helping his numbers nationally.

(18) pushes Townhall event helped him highlight his standing as a compassionate conservative.

(20!) Bush gets sued Sununu’s support as he promises to campaign across the state for George Bush boosting his numbers in the New Hampshire primary.

+9  Bush’s campaign is on fire  as it rises from the dead.

On 5/25/2022 at 10:07 AM, Cenzonico said:

1. The Weld campaign will launch a smear campaign against Buchanan in New Hampshire hoping to dig him into the ground in the state.

2. Bill Weld stumps New Hampshire himself in an effort to drum up support. 

3. Weld seeks the endorsement of Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge. 

(4) A smear campaign on Buchanan backfires and hurts welds standing in New Hampshire. 

(10) while the drumming up of support helps weld with his supporters it does little to branch out his campaign.

(2) Tom ridge declines to endorse Bill Weld at the time.

-3  Bill Weld will see a drop in support after a poor week

On 5/26/2022 at 12:25 AM, Rezi said:

Event 1: Feingold attempts to sneak in and get Iowa Senator Harkin to endorse him, after receiving information about the Wellstone campaign's failed attempts at a Harkin endorsement. Feingold meets with both Tom Harkin and Clinton-Endorsee Tom Vilsack to share his vision for an America that can save agricultural powerhouses like Iowa.

 

Event 2: Feingold blankets Iowa with an ad that shows him learning the way around a soybean farm, the agricultural product produced the most by Iowans.

 

Event 3: Feingold holds an all-out rally in Des Moines. He blasts Wellstone and Clinton for being out of touch, promises a new age of prosperity, and even boldly calls himself the frontrunner to win Iowa.

(4) “Jesus can’t I be left alone for one minute?” - Tom Harkin

(12) Feingold’s ads help his standing in the Hawkeye state. Hoping to turn things around quickly 

(15) find gold is successfully able to do some damage to both Wellstone and Clinton.

+3 Russ Feingold will see some of his support grow as he moderates campaign

On 5/26/2022 at 11:29 PM, mark2 said:

1. Trump would plead to Bill Clinton for an endorsement again, saying "Bill, Bill, I love ya man, endorse me, c'mon. I'll make all your expenses free at my brand new golf courses."

2. Trump would go back to actual rallies and speeches rather than blind rhetoric, proposing a new, progressive plan for the tax code in San Francisco.

3. Trump would continue to use Pat Buchanan as an easy punching bag, calling him a "hater" and saying he "hates gays, hates blacks, hates Jews, I mean who doesn't he hate?"

(12) “ I dunno man I might need some more convincing “

(7) Trump is booed by progressives in the audience who see him as a con man.

(3) The attacks on Buchanan backfire as angry Buchanan supporters storm the Trump rally.

-3  Trump will also see a fall in support after a poor week

On 5/28/2022 at 4:21 PM, Rodja said:

1.Sanders will seek an endorsement from Rep.Geraldine Ferraro

2.Sanders will seek endorsement from AFL CIO Iowa chapter

3.Sanders will barnstorm IA and NH with numerous town halls about his vision of democratic socialism in America

(19) Geraldine Ferraro enthusiastically supports Sanders. This will help sanders among women voters.

(12) The AFL CIO Iowa chapter gives Sanders a lot of compliments but declines to fully endorse.

(10) The ads do moderately well convincing a few undecided progressives.

-1  Sanders is able to shake off a disastrous reshuffle but is still slightly bleeding Support

On 5/28/2022 at 6:02 PM, Hestia said:

1. Elizabeth Dole will give her last hurrah into the campaign, announcing her campaign shakeup in the leadup to the primary.

2. Dole will appear in Des Moines with her husband for a rally.

3. Elizabeth Dole will go to Council Bluffs for a meet and greet with voters. 

(43) The last hurrah doesn’t do too much to help revitalize her campaign.

(8) The rally gets rained out but still has a few attendees.

(17) Dole’s meet and greet goes over well and will build support in Council Bluffs.

-1  Elizabeth Dole is not able to shake off her falling momentum before Iowa hopefully her final push can change something.

On 5/30/2022 at 9:25 PM, The Blood said:

1. Buchanan will campaign in Iowa, criticizing Elizabeth Dole for her campaign, saying, "Look, I think we just need to accept that someone like Elizabeth doesn't belong in politics. It is simple biology that Elizabeth belongs at home. I'm not comfortable with the idea that Bob is the homemaker right now while Elizabeth is in this cutthroat political race. Women are not meant for the Oval Office. They are not leaders; the Bible and Human behavior tell us this. Put simply, would you trust a man or a woman to make the right decision when this nation is under attack? Do you think a woman has what it takes to push the red button or to declare war? Personally, I don't, and that's why I won't trust Elizabeth Dole to be our nominee for President."

 

2. Buchanan will campaign in New Hampshire, promising to "shut our southern border down until we figure out what the hell is going on there." Pat will elaborate, stating, "We have drugs, illegals, and crime pouring in from the Mexican border. I will use any means necessary to shut down the flow of illegal substances and individuals from Mexico, and I will not stand for this theft of America's culture, communities, and jobs because of this inflow of Mexican illegals. Jose, Miguel, and Eduardo may be able to sneak across the border and steal our jobs under the current Administration, but under a Pat Buchanan Presidency, they'll be stopped right at the Rio Grande! I don't want an America where English is the second-most common language. I don't want an America where our children grow up in crime and drug infested communities. I don't want the fundamental makeup of America to be altered by the failures of Washington's border policy. Let's stop this destruction of our country, let's stand up and fight for our border security!"

 

3. Pat will visit South Carolina, meeting with Strom Thurmond to once again court his endorsement.

(9) Buchanan’s hyper focus on Dole is seen as a little sexist.

(10) Buchanan excited his anti immigration base.

(1!) “I can tolerate racism, but being protectionist is where I draw the line” -Strom Thurmond 

-2  Buchanan is on the other end of his momentum spiral as the feud with Strom Thurmond hurts him in South Carolina 

On 5/31/2022 at 12:02 PM, Fbarbarossa said:

Wellstone will strike Iowa state fairs and rally across the state.

The same state will be hit with a stream of Wellstone TV ads.

Wellstone will again return to New Hampshire and talk on healthcare reform

(1!) Wellstone unfortunately gets all the dates wrong and is in an empty field in Iowa.

(5) The ads don’t do too well.

(20!) but in New Hampshire  Wellstone’s campaign is on fire

+3  with all the momentum he’s built in the last few weeks Wellstone can take a bad week

On 5/31/2022 at 2:29 PM, Pringles said:

Quayle will reshuffle his campaign. 

Quayle heads to Iowa 2x

(88) Dan Quayle will see a resurgence in his campaign hiring Karl Rove as new Campaign manager.

(6) Dan Quayle‘s first rally in Iowa is a little unenthusiastic.

(16) The second one is definitely much larger and is a force to be reckoned with.

+4 Quayle has an incredible turn around when most thought his campaign was dead.

@Murrman104 @mark2 @Timur @The Blood @Pringles @Rezi @Fbarbarossa @Zenobiyl @Rodja @Hestia @ShortKing @Cenzonico OK so it is the last turn before Iowa so you each get two normal events and then one final push event in Iowa where you will either pick a specific demographic you want to target or part of the state, if your campaign has no chance in Iowa you can instruct your supporters to go towards another candidate if you do choose.

Will this apply to Nader who is running as a third party candidate?

1. While everyone else is busy fighting over Iowa, Weld stays put in New Hampshire. This week he will do something different by targeting mothers across the state. He uses his cutting edge plans for education and health care as an appeal. 

2. Weld has yet to get a big name endorsement so far. That is about to hopefully change. Bill seeks out the endorsement of GOP heavyweight Jack Kemp hoping to boost his credibility with the party establishment. 

3. Weld thanks his supporters in Iowa for their steadfast support of his campaign even when it has been made clear that he has no intention of contesting the state. That being said, he asks all of his Iowa supporters to not vote for him in the upcoming caucus and instead move to support anybody else except Pat Buchanan.

2. Trump will go to Des Moines, saying to voters to "just not vote for Pat Buchanan" in a passionate rant about how the Republican party has "fallen from grace."
3. Trump will participate in a local golf tournament within a Philadelphia suburb, in an attempt to make himself seem more down to earth.

1. Buchanan will campaign in Iowa, stating that the other Republican candidates support the "homo agenda". Pat will state that Quayle, Bush, Dole, and especially Weld are "far too sympathetic to the sinful crusade of the gays", and that he will "show no mercy" to the "gay agenda" which is "infecting our children" as President.

 

2. Buchanan will take a trip to Wyoming, raving against the "Washington elite" who wish to "change the makeup of our country" with their "open border policy". Buchanan will state that he will defend America's borders, people, and culture as President.

 

Final Iowa Push: Buchanan will do a final tour of rural Iowa, hitting home his protectionist and nativist message, and portraying himself as the only candidate outside of the "establishment game" in DC.
