Rep Ron Wyden- one attempt at 10% chance (Can only target Hestia)

Also, don’t I have three attempts? Wyden has iron fist.

A party leader with “iron fist”

Wyden is just a faction leader

Gotcha. I think I have this one right though lol: Add another 5% chance on top of this if the party or faction leader also has “Propagandist.” Wyden has propagandaist too.

Ah yes correct. +5%

[WVProgressive]

Ronna McDaniels will take Ron DeSantis under her wing.

Assuming I can't try and convert Geithner because he isn't Hest or Murr's faction- I won't try for anyone. It's my least favorite. part of the game anyway

2.1.6 Politician Conversions

Check for a disgruntled ideology: Any party that has ideological enthusiasm at the lowest level on the ideological enthusiasm meter might see a mass exodus of politicians going to the other party.

Newly drafted @WVProgressive Military Track Ashlee Sanchez a Progressive wonders how the hell did I end up with Traditionalists and jumps to @Murrman104 faction.

 

 

Targeting Opposing Party Members

Blue team doesn't have a party leader currently.

@pman President Haley can make one attempt. You can target Murrman or Hestia's factions.

Only Party Leaders can attempt to convert someone from another party, so long as their target is marked for “Party Flipping.” Can convert opposing politicians with “pliable” at a 10% chance and those with a personal ideology of moderate with a 5% chance.

 

 Targeting Same-Party Members of Another Faction

Most factions don't have faction leader currently.

@pman President Nikki Haley- all factions have high or max enthusiasm and can't be targeted

@MrPotatoTed Sen Cory Booker- one attempt at 33% chance (Can only target Hestia)

@jnewt Rep Ron Wyden- one attempt at 10% chance (Can only target Hestia)

May target same-party members of other factions, so long as their target is marked “pliable” AND has the same personal ideology as the faction leader making the conversion attempt.

 

2.1.7 Kingmakers & Proteges

@WVProgressive @ShortKing @pman @Murrman104 @MrPotatoTed @jnewt

A faction may not have more than one active kingmaker from the same state.  An active Kingmaker must be at least 35 years old and not on a career track.  There are no age limitations for protégé. An active Kingmaker gets one protégé from their own faction who must also be from their own state and own personal ideology. Some Kingmakers may have multiple proteges, but they cannot pick up more than one protégé per half-term.

Senator Booker will also target @Hestia Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

If she's not available because @jnewt's attempt is successful first, then he'll try for @Hestia young career tracker Jennifer Tidings.

No kingmaker moves, as Hillary apparently doesn't have leadership or master kingmaker (booooo!)  ;c)

2.2.1 Congressional Leadership Elected

In the Senate the entire slate of incumbents will remain in place unless the player chooses to withdraw them from their position.

Sen Maj Ldr	John Thune	pman
Sen Maj Whip	Ted Cruz	WVPROGRESSIVE
Sen Pres PT	Pat Roberts	pman
Sen Min Ldr	Jeanne Shaheen	Hestia
Sen Min Whip	Brian Schatz	Murrman

 

In the House, the entire Republican leadership team of Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, and Cathy McMorris Rodgers who have been in place since 2016 start are no longer serving in the House. So they will need a whole new leadership team. On the Democratic side Ron Wyden will remain as Minority leader if @jnewt wishes so but they will need to elect a new Whip to replace now Sen Lisa Blunt Rochester.

This is open to any Rep. No one has leadership and Dems have never held Committee Chairs.

[ebrk85]

Brunnell has no one eligible to run

 

Hestia will run Rep Seth Moulton (MA) for House Minority Whip

[jnewt]

We’ll run Andy Kim for House Minority Whip

[Murrman104]

We'll Run Eric Johnson for House Min Whip

[ShortKing]

We'll run Flake for Speaker

[pman]

Nobody for either House position from my faction

[MrPotatoTed]

House Minority Whip: Hillary Clinton!

 

[ebrk85]

House Minority Whip Race:

(Need 85 votes to win)

@jnewt Andy Kim- 71

@Murrman104 Eric Johnson- 56

@MrPotatoTed Hillary Clinton- 29

HestiaCPU Seth Moulton- 14

 

Moulton is dropped and HestiaCPU endorses (random same-party pol) Eric Johnson

 

Round 2:

Andy Kim- 71

Eric Johnson- 70

Hilary Clinton- 29

No majority still so Clinton is dropped

 

@MrPotatoTed you're endorsement will decide it, so who do you pick for Min Whip?

I’ll back @jnewt Andy Kim.  He’s got the higher legislative skill level.

[ebrk85]

Blue Congressional Leadership Team

House Minority Leader- @jnewt Ron Wyden: +1 Legis (now a 5!), 250pts

House Minority Whip- @jnewt Andy Kim: gains Manipulative, 100pts

Senate Minority Leader- HestiaCPU Jeanne Shaheen: 250pts

Senate Minority Whip- @Murrman104 Brian Schatz: +1 Legis, 100pts

[WVProgressive]

Speaker of the House - Steve Scalise

House Majority Leader - Doug Collins

House Majority Whips - Matt Gaetz

[ebrk85]

Ok Red Team Leadership:

 

For Speaker we have Jeff Flake vs Steve Scalise.  Who do you support @pman?

 

House Majority Leader- only one candidate, @WVProgressive Doug Collins, so he is so elected.

 

House Majority Whip- Matt Gaetz is ineligible as he does not have leadership and hasn't served as a committee chair before and their are other candidates who have.  Nobody is running any of the eligible pols though so I guess I will just randomly select from them to see who becomes Whip.

[pman]

I am focused on party unity and since WVProg has the House Majority Leader I'll support Flake for Speaker to spread out the positions.
