Hestia Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) launches her campaign for President during a speech in Detroit, Michigan, focusing on delivering manufacturing and clean energy jobs to the United States, ensuring abortion access nationwide, and a strong internationalist foreign policy. The governor focused on moderate and liberal talking points during her first speech, aiming to seize an opening in the field that has been left for new, but mainstream liberals.

dkh64 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) If it's okay, since you're still waiting for one RPer, I'd like to throw a couple more into the ring. If not, feel free to skip over these. VP Kamala Harris "Joe and I have accomplished so much together over these last four years, but there is still so much left to be done. I know it will be a challenge, but I have never and will never back down from a challenge. The people of this country face far bigger challenges every day, fighting to build better lives for themselves and their families. And I have always believed that no one should be left to fight alone. "When I was a prosecutor, I would stand up in court and say, ‘Kamala Harris, for the people.’ Today, I announce my run for the presidency for the people struggling to pay their rent and mortgages in the face of gouging landlords and wealthy bankers. I announce for the people who have been left behind by an education system that perpetuates race and class divides. I announce for the people who need criminal justice reform because the police should protect ALL of us, not just a wealthy few. I announce for people who want to show the world who we really are: people who care about women’s’ rights, the rights of workers to be paid fairly, the right of the little old lady in Alabama who marched during the Civil Rights Movement to be able to vote freely and easily in our democracy. When I am in the White House, none of them will be left to fight alone. And when I am in the White House, I will wake up everyday and remember who I work for! For the people!" Fmr. VP Mike Pence "We all have been endowed by our Creator to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That is the essence of American freedom. We live in the most prosperous nation in the history of the world. And yet over these last four years, a distinctly un-American ideology has taken hold to advance a “woke” agenda against our freedom. The ruling elite in Washington and all across the country have become so out of touch with American values and are now intent on crushing anyone who dares oppose them using their ‘cancel culture.’ "And so, I announce for the presidency of the United States today to defend our God-given freedoms against what I like to call the intolerance of tolerance. Our borders of under siege, our energy independence has been squandered, and big government socialism is grinding our economy to a halt. Now more than ever we need a freedom agenda for the future. That agenda means allowing the wisdom of our forefathers and Founding Fathers to be our lodestar. That agenda is to protect our culture, unleash opportunity for all people without regard for ‘woke’ corporate culture, being strong on the world stage, and standing up for international religious freedom. Thank you, and may God bless America!" Edited November 10, 2022 by dkh64 typos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Short announcement, busy day - not doing a GOP candidate) Rolls a 5! There was nothing wrong with Whitmer announcement.It was a mainstream liberal speech with clear arguments but what prevented it from being a strong start for her was that she delivered it in almost robotic manner lacking energy needed to convince undecided voters.Governor will have a base of support amongst mainstream liberals but she will have to be more convincing in the future if she is serious about winning the nomination.

Harris event was constantly interrupted with hecklers booing her.Her incumbency makes Kamala the starting frontrunner but also gives her a bit of blame for inflation which causes some voters to have negative opinions of her campaign.Harris will have to work strong to keep being a frontrunner and become a nominee eventually.

Pence has a strong conservative message and it resonates well in the GOP.Although some MAGA people haven't forgotten Pence for certifying election results,his speech is welcomed and praised by conservative Republicans.Pence has a challenging race ahead but has a good start indeed. 10 minutes ago, Rodja said: On behalf of our friend @Fbarbarossa GOV.RON DE SANTIS ANNOUNCES 2024 PRESIDENTIAL BID Good evening Florida,good evening America!

Gov.DeSantis enters the 2024 presidential field in a big style.His strong conservative speech got positive reactions across the GOP.He is described by Fox News pundits as a “perfect more polished alternative to Trump”;anti-Trump Republicans see him as their best chances and parts of MAGA base like him for being kinda Trumpy.Its definitely a good start for Florida Governor but he wont have easy time beating the former President with cult-like following. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blood Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 NYC Mayor Eric Adams sports a pair of shades while announcing his 2024 Presidential campaign Eric Adams stole headlines today announcing a surprise bid for President. The New York City Mayor pledged to "get stuff done" as President, saying, "As Mayor, I have made great advancements for New York City.

And just as New York is the greatest city in the world, I am running to lead the greatest country in the world, America.

Bernie Sanders Endorsement(needs a 8 or higher):Rolls a 8!

Gov.Youngkin publicly rebuked Haley campaign as “too self-centered” and emphasized that “she is the wrong person for the job in this historical moment”. 12 hours ago, Mothwoman said: Clinton: Endorsement Request: Hillary asks Former Representative Cindy Axne for her endorsement. 1.

Drew Carey Endorsement(needs a 6 or higher):Rolls a 8!

A vision from the almighty god above that told me that it is my duty to my faith to run again for president. Our nation is hurting. Our people are hurting. Christian values don't mean an strict adherence to faith, or an disdain for people who may lead a path that strays from god's vision. We must be inclusive, and unite the country onto one banner. Only then can I heal, but most importantly then the country is able to heal. Jesus is King, and Jesus loves everybody." 2.

The Blood Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Endorsement: Bill Clinton. While Adams may be running against Bill's wife, the mayor believes he can grab Bill Clinton's endorsement with the right pitch. Emphasizing his tough-on-crime attitude, Eric will praise the former President as the type of leader "the Democrats need today." Promising to fight crime, reduce the deficit, and "fix our welfare system", Adams hopes to appeal to Bill Clinton as a centrist Democrat. 1. Eric will campaign in South Carolina, promising to both "reform our police to end systemic injustice against black and brown people" as well as "give our officers the funding they need to tackle crime". Adams will emphasize his time as a police officer, declaring, "I joined the police force and served for 22 years because I knew I could fight for reform inside my department. I know what it's like to be a young black man who is beaten by the police, and as President I will work for systemic reform. And just as I oppose injustice from the police inflicted on our community, I also oppose the injustice of crime across America. We need more funding, training, and equipment to give our police what they need to tackle the crime wave which has hit this country. I fought against crime as a cop on the streets and as a mayor in city hall, and I hope to fight crime as a President in the White House as well." 2. Adams, a vocal vegan, will promise to investigate the meat and dairy industries as President while campaigning in Nevada, proclaiming, "Our country is failing on health. I mean, just look around this room and you can see what I mean! We need to cut it out with the sweets and fast food, and accept the holistic, spiritually fulfilling health a plant-based diet gives us. It is only through this diet that I have the strength to run for President, and as President I will investigate the abusive actions of the meat and dairy industries towards billions of animals worldwide as well as promote healthy eating in our schools and communities." 3. Adams will continue his Nevada campaign, pledging his support for cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies to be taught in schools, stating at a rally that, "America needs to ride this crypto wave. I've been vocal about this as mayor, and I pledge to you Nevada that America will become the crypto and blockchain capital of the world when I'm President. We need our kids to understand this important technology in schools, and this industry will generate trillions for our country if we exploit it to the fullest extent. I don't care if it's Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Dogecoin. Eric Adams is a cryptohead." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
