The Election of 3000 (3000RP)


Zenobiyl

Recommended Posts

1. Bell will tour Kentucky, campaigning on the single message of honoring the Constitution, the Union of states, and the enforcement of the law.

 

2. Bell will hit Tennessee, campaigning on the fact that just as he attempted to save the Union in 1860, he once again hopes to save it with his commitment to the Constitution of the United States.

 

3. Bell, knowing where he is best suited to perform well, and knowing that if he truly is fighting under the banner of commitment to national unity and the Constitution, he must honor one of the Founding Fathers of the nation, will offer to form a fusion ticket, with Washington heading, in all states outside of the South and border states. @Dobs

Theodore Roosevelt will wrestle a moose after it interrupts one of his speeches in Yonkers. If he wins he will wear a coat made of the animal's skin for the rest of the campaign.

Roosevelt speaks softly while swinging a big stick in Albany

Roosevelt asks Abe Lincoln for his endorsement since both of them were athletic Progressive Republicans, who were eventually resurrected during WrestleMania CDLXV.

Washington will accept Bells offer of support and embark on a “national unity tour”.

Washington will surround himself with his minutemen guard at each event, particularly one in New England where he commemorates the birth of the revolution.

Washington will next visit his old Presidential office in New York and does a meet and greet.

Turn 1

George Clinton

(2): Clinton gets the endorsement, but it makes little difference since Jefferson has thousands of living descendants by now. Worse still, the endorsement request is seen as a massive snub by the actual Thomas Jefferson, who is revived and well in 3000. The comments about Washington also backfire badly in light of his current popularity.

(10): Clinton’s rally goes over extremely well! Everybody knows Times Square 4.0 is the best Times Square, and smurfphobia never fails to get the nativists to the polls. The New York strategy could be effective for Clinton...

(6): The people of Arkansas welcome Clinton with open arms, and his visit goes over quite well with the voting base. A handful of angry Bernie supporters do cause a minor ruckus however, loudly screaming about how Clinton rigged the election to make him drop out.

Bobby Kennedy

(4): The fusion ticket plans don’t go that great, but the two strongest states for Carter and Kennedy manage to pull it off. Fusion tickets have been organized in Georgia with Carter leading, and New York with Kennedy leading.

(6): Several people try to shoot Kennedy again, but this time he was prepared! Turns out the gun wasn’t the only iron on his hip, because he’s developed an iron exoskeleton to protect against gunshots! The spectacle wins over Arizona voters but does cost a little much, overall Kennedy comes out on top.

(6): Jerry Brown endorses and does what he can to win over Megafornia to Kennedy. East Megafornians do feel a tad bit left out however....

Dick Cheney

(10): Cheney barely finishes saying “oil” before the crowd goes wild.

(4): The attack fails to land with Bernie having already dropped out

(3): The attempted fusion ticket in Texlahoma doesn’t go very well, perhaps because Cheney mistakenly refers to the now defunct state of “Texas”.

George Bush

(6): Bush is a natural in Texlahoma, although the Lahoma part isn’t as enthusiastic about him. Still a good day overall.

(6): Bush has an excellent day in Florida, partially thanks to some help on the campaign trail from a revived Jeb Bush.

(1): Cheney’s fusion ticket attempt was already bungled badly, but Bush’s response makes things worse. Openly working with and praising the guy who allegedly shot you in a “hunting accident” isn’t good optics. Some even question if Bush took the deal because he’s being mind controlled by Cheney. All conspiracy theories of course....

🐸

Harold Stassen 

(8): HAIL STASSEN! HAIL STASSEN!

......

Uhhh, so anyways the launch went well.

(4 + 10) The state of Megabama is quite happy with God-king Stassen.

John Bell

(8): Kentucky is Bell country, and he wins over voters left and right! Bell especially wins support with the neo-dixiecrats, who are exactly what they sound like.

(6): Tennessee loves Bell more than anyone else, and he receives a warm welcome in the state.

(7): Bell doesn’t have much support outside the south to begin with, so the move isn’t as much of a hassle. Bell is removed from the ballot everywhere except the Deep South, border south, Missouri, Kansas, New Washington, and Texlahoma. His supporters mainly go to George Washington.

Teddy Roosevelt

(1): The moose won 😳

(9): The women love Roosevelt’s stick. His support grows as he penetrates into the demographic previously dominated by Bobby Kennedy 😏

(3): Lincoln fought Roosevelt in that Wrestlemania and got bodied, for which he still holds a grudge. “Honest Abe” refuses to endorse unless Roosevelt is up for a rematch.

Sanders

(6): The Carter endorsement moves the needle a little, especially in New York and New England.

Carter

(3): Carter forgets to tip, which hurts his claims to integrity a little.

(10): Wow! Mondale not only campaigns but strongly endorses Carter, bringing a fire to Minnesota that must have even Stassen sweating! This sleepy favorite son state has just become a lot less sleepy and a lot less safe.

(9): Wayne Messam is a hit in Florida! 

Washington

(5): The national unity tour doesn’t turn heads, but also avoids any major mistakes. More Bell supporters quietly shift to Washington.

(7): The minutemen are a hit with New Englanders, and Washington sees his support in the state rise as the reenactments of revolution battles brings tourists and news media attention.

(3): The meet and greet was going well until a disheveled Hamilton burst into the building ranting about banks and French people. By the time he is escorted out many are less than thrilled.

Polling:

Washington: 34%

Carter: 24% (+3%)

Kennedy: 10%

Stassen: 9% (+1%)

Bush: 8% (-2%)

Roosevelt: 5% (-1%)

Polling Requests for States is now available, one per turn! 

 

(To make polling easier to manage, I have merged some states. Here are the mergers.)

Megabama (Alabama + Mississippi)

Megafornia (California + Nevada)

Megakota (North + South Dakota)

Carolina (North + South Carolina)

Texlahoma (Texas + Oklahoma)

New England (Vermont + New Hampshire + Maine + Massachusetts + Rhode Island + Connecticut)

Virginia (West Virginia + Virginia)

Jefferson (Washington + Oregon + Idaho)

New Washington State (Maryland + Delaware + D.C.)

(The EC for these states is the 2020 EC for each state in each fusion added up.)
