September 14, 2016 - Wall Street Journal endorses Christie economic plan, says Cuomo not realistic
()
NEW YORK, NY - While the Wall Street Journal did not endorse either presidential candidate, they did say Chris Christie had a superior economic plan to that of Andrew Cuomo's. "Mr. Christie's $1.1 trillion tax cut is off-set by a closure of $700 billion in loopholes, plus another $400 billion in savings simply by his proposed changes to social security and reducing the federal workforce by a third by the year 2019. Combined with his plan to scrap a decade's worth of regulations and to repeal Obamacare, we believe that Americans could see between 2 and 4 million jobs by the year 2020. By contrast, Mr. Cuomo has not been realistic. He's proposed a $700 billion tax cut for those making under $150,000 per year. He says he'd pay for it by increasing taxes on the top 2% of Americans through a rate increase from 39% to 41%. But, Mr. Cuomo has also proposed new spending for education, women's health, infrastructure, farmers, green technology, and medicaid. In all, he has proposed $675 billion over a decade in new spending, and that's after his tax plan is taken into effect. His medicaid expansion plan could cost another $300 billion on top of that. The only way he can balance the budget is using accounting gimmicks, which his campaign has utilized" the journal stated.

September 14, 2016 - Wall Street Journal endorses Christie economic plan, says Cuomo not realistic
()
NEW YORK, NY - While the Wall Street Journal did not endorse either presidential candidate, they did say Chris Christie had a superior economic plan to that of Andrew Cuomo's. "Mr. Christie's $1.1 trillion tax cut is off-set by a closure of $700 billion in loopholes, plus another $400 billion in savings simply by his proposed changes to social security and reducing the federal workforce by a third by the year 2019. Combined with his plan to scrap a decade's worth of regulations and to repeal Obamacare, we believe that Americans could see between 2 and 4 million jobs by the year 2020. By contrast, Mr. Cuomo has not been realistic. He's proposed a $700 billion tax cut for those making under $150,000 per year. He says he'd pay for it by increasing taxes on the top 2% of Americans through a rate increase from 39% to 41%. But, Mr. Cuomo has also proposed new spending for education, women's health, infrastructure, farmers, green technology, and medicaid. In all, he has proposed $675 billion over a decade in new spending, and that's after his tax plan is taken into effect. His medicaid expansion plan could cost another $300 billion on top of that. The only way he can balance the budget is using accounting gimmicks, which his campaign has utilized" the journal stated.

WASHINGTON, DC - In an interview on NBC news, President Barack Obama defended his administration's legacy. "We conducted a foreign policy which kept Americans safe and brought hundreds of our enemies to justice, we made health care more accessible at home, we cut taxes on the working poor, we implemented accountability in education, and we've made record investments to end our dependence on foreign oil" the President stated.

While he disagrees with us on a few issues, no one fought harder for our educational reforms and has been a stronger supporter of our energy policies at the state level as Governor Cuomo. Governor Christie has shown a willingness to work with others during crisis, but on a policy basis I think he is out of step with a majority of the public given his views on same-sex marriage, abortion, gun control, and giving tax breaks to the wealthy."

I don't think it's turning into a GOP wank quite yet. It's a good timeline, just have a few issues with it:
- I could see Manchin cross-endorsing, but Graham and Bayh would never endorse Christie over Cuomo. Cuomo's fairly centrist/moderate heroish himself, plus all three of them are New Democrats. Two of the party's founders would never betray one of their own.
- You only briefly go over two races (and don't even tell us how one turns out) for Senate. I'd like to see more of it - I'm wondering if Christie's moderate credentials could carry a few purple staters and even Kirk.
- Just a few leadership issues. Blackburn would never ascend to Speakership - McCarthy's seen as the heir apparent, and if they want a woman, they have McMorris Rodgers, who already beat her for a leadership post. I have a bit of trouble seeing the Dems nominate McCaskill, who's arguably the most vulnerable Senator in 2018.

"Andrew Cuomo has won Illinois, our exit polling has him at 63% in Barack Obama's home state"
I find it hard to believe that Cuomo would win 63% of Illinois when in 2008 Illinois's Favorite Son Obama could only win 62% of the vote in a decisive D victory overall.
But otherwise an awesome thread.

January 5, 2018 - Mass. could feature race between Senator Elizabeth Warren, Tagg Romney
()()
BOSTON, MA - Both the white house and GOP leaders in the U.S. Senate urged Tagg Romney, a businessman and the son of Treasury Secretary Mitt Romney, to challenge Elizabeth Warren for her U.S. Senate seat in 2018. Tagg joined a field of five other republicans seeking to challenge Warren. While Tagg says education and job creation are top issues, Senator Warren says that her goal will be to maintain a check on the Christie administration. Warren says she'll fight President Christie on education, the minimum wage, judicial appointments, and energy policy. Polling indicates that while Romney is the GOP front-runner, he'd lose to Warren by 12 percent if the election were held now.
January 22, 2018 - Christie outlines budget which would reduce federal spending by 12.5%
()
WASHINGTON, DC - President Chris Christie outlined a federal budget which would, for the first time in recent memory, cut federal spending. Christie proposed an across the board 7% cut in federal spending for every department of government excluding defense and veterans care. "The reality is, we now have $22 trillion in debt. If we spend the same as last year, we'll have a budget deficit of $1.4 trillion. If we do as I propose, we'll get that $1.4 trillion down to under $300 billion. In March, I plan on coming back to congress and proposing a plan to reduce our debt to $10 trillion by 2029 - that's where it was in 2009" the President stated.
January 23, 2018 - Durbin: Democrats see Christie budget as "unacceptable"
WASHINGTON, DC - Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin declared that President Chris Christie's budget proposal was "unacceptable" to senate and house democrats. "I speak for both the democrats in the senate and the house when I say this budget is unacceptable. By slashing federal spending by 12.5% across the board, the President is planning on automatically cutting food stamps, medicare to seniors, school lunches for poor kids, and funding for women's health care."
Christie responds to Durbin
WASHINGTON, DC - President Chris Christie responded to criticism of his budget plan by Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin. "If Senator Durbin hadn't voted to increase spending by literally trillions of dollars, we wouldn't have to clean up his mess. The fact of the matter is, yes, some services will be cut. We will be cutting $62.5 billion from medicare. 100% of that will be cut from seniors who made more than $95,000 at the time they began accepting medicare benefits. Poor seniors will not see their benefits cut by one penny. We are not cutting a penny from school lunch programs, we are only cutting departments, not programs. So, Senator Durbin is misleading the American public, but I guess he hasn't read my budget and therefore doesn't know any better" Christie stated.
Feb. 4, 2018 - Christie budget passes, is signed into law

Beck joined a field of candidates which also includes fellow State Senator Diane Allen, Former Atlantic City Councilman Seth Grossman, and Jets Owner Woody Johnson.
March 1, 2018 - Christie proposes entitlement reforms, deficit reduction
WASHINGTON, DC - After working with House Speaker Marsha Blackburn for weeks, President Christie proposed a plan which he said would reduce the national debt from $22 trillion to $10.2 trillion by 2029. The plan called first for entitlement reform. The social security retirement age would be raised to 70, growth on incomes above $110,000 would be cut by 33%, an opt-out option would be available. Medicare growth would be slowed, and those with incomes above $125,000 or who retired with such an income would see their premiums increase by 10%. Medicare would become a voucher program. Medicaid would be returned back to states, with federal funding - which would save taxpayers $80 billion per year in compliance costs. Christie also announced he would reduce the size of the federal workforce by 25% by 2021, reduce farm subsidies to 2015 levels, and pass another across the board spending cut - this time 6.5%, in order to reduce the debt.
March 10, 2018 - Christie wins debt battle
WASHINGTON, DC - After nine days of negotiations between both parties, President Chris Christie got most of what he wanted in trying to reduce the national debt. After working with Speaker Marsha Blackburn, House Miniority Leader Chris Van Hollen, Senate Miniority Leader Pat Toomey, and Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin, the two parties came to an agreement. They agreed to pass Christie's reform to social security, his proposal for medicaid, and the 6.5% across the board budget cut for FY2019 - though they also said the federal workforce cut would take place over 4 years as opposed to 3, and medicare premiums on people with incomes over $125,000 would increase by 18% to avoid vouchering the program. Christie also agreed to reducing subsidies to big oil by a third to reduce the national debt. New projections showed the national debt would be reduced from $22 trillion to $10 trillion by 2030 as opposed to 2029. The bill passed the U.S. Senate 72-28, with 27 democrats and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky opposing the plan. In the house, the proposal passed 390-45 with 40 house democrats and 5 republicans opposing.

()
NASHVILLE, TN - Former Congressman Harold Ford Jr., who lost a U.S. Senate race to Bob Corker in 2006, announced he would challenge Corker in 2018. "I want to emphasize that I'm running as a Christie Democrat. I agree with the President's policies on education, fiscal discipline, and even his foreign policy. I think the democratic party needs to stand with him on these issues. What separates me from the republicans is that I believe that we should raise the minimum wage, fight for women's health care, and cut taxes on the middle class as opposed to just millionaires" Ford stated.
June 1, 2018 - Christie announces new Iranian sactions

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Days ahead of contests in Arizona and Florida, Democratic Presidential Hopeful Ed Markey went on the offensive, attacking fellow candidate Charlie Crist as a political opportunist. "Governor Crist would still be a republican if it hadn't been for Marco Rubio polling ahead of him in a republican primary. Charlie Crist still supports the Christie tax cuts, he still opposes a woman's right to choose, he still opposes a ban on assault weapons, and he still opposed President Obama's health care law in 2009, we need a democrat as our nominee for President, not a political flip-flop" Markey stated. Governor Crist responded to Senator Markey, stating that, "Senator Markey voted for higher taxes 432 times, he's supported nearly $2 trillion in new spending in the past five years alone, he's voted against bi-partisian immigration reform, and he's been called one of the senate's most liberal members. I'm a democrat, but I know the simple truth that with a record like Ed Markey's, we can't win in 2020."

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - Vice President Sussana Martinez accepted her party's nomination for a second term. "Over the past four years, President Christie and I have fought to create jobs, to protect our country's national security interests, and to promote a new era of bi-partisianship in Washington. While things haven't been perfect, our economy is stronger, our country is safer, and our people are prouder of their government than at any time in this generation. We've worked with republicans and democrats to lower taxes, reduce regulations, expand free trade, secure our border, and dismantle a failed health care policy. Our liberal, partisan opponents argue that we have failed. They seek to return to the same failed policies which were in place when we took over in 2017" Martinez stated.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - President Chris Christie accepted the nomination of his party for re-election as President. "Four years ago, you gave me the honor of a lifetime, to serve as President of the United States. Four years later, I again come to the American people, and humbly ask for your support again. Together, you and I have revived our nation's economy, we've protected the peace, and we've gotten things done on a bi-partisian basis for all of our citizens. But, there is more work to be done. While more people are able to find work today than they were four years ago, the cost of health insurance continues to rise, and while more Americans are seeing their incomes rise, the cost of fuel is unacceptably high. We have more work to do" the President stated.

"Over the past four years, Americans have seen the creation of over 5.2 million jobs and the first increases in income since 2000 as a result of historic tax relief, 40 new or renewed free trade agreements, regulatory reform, changes to our health care system, real reforms to social security and medicare, and a return to fiscal discipline. Another term gives us the opportunity to continue to keep taxes low and regulations at a minimal, it enables us to fight to continue to reduce federal spending, and it also will enable us to fight to lower the cost of health care, make our country independent of foreign sources of energy, and we'll continue to see our economy grow" the President stated. "Under this administration, we've seen billions of dollars cut from women's health care, education, affordable housing, and the President gave a massive tax cut to the wealthy. In a Markey administration, our goals will be expanding affordable health care, raising the minimum wage, investing in education and green technology, and reversing the President's tax cuts for the wealthy" Ed Markey stated.

We haven't had a really popular candidate running in a two-man election since 1984, where Reagan won 58%, so I'm not sure what you're going off of when you say "anymore". Anyways, this timeline is AWESOME! Keep it up!!

Governor Sam Brownback pledged to fight for a human life amendment and a federal marriage amendment, as well as a 15% flat tax if he is elected President.
BOCA RATON, FL - The candidates seeking the Democratic Presidential Nomination held their first debate. House Minority Leader Chris Van Hollen promised that as President, he would repeal the Christie tax cuts, restore regulations to Wall Street, raise the minimum wage, and expand medicaid for people making up to $65,000 per year. Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist pledged to increase funding for education and mandate smaller class sizes, reduce the payroll tax for workers, increase tax credits for green energy, and restore a ban on off-shore oil drilling. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia said that if elected, he would support efforts to balance the budget - but would do so by raising the top tax rate to 40% and eliminate all cooperate loopholes. Warner also said a top priority of his as President would be increased aid for worker re-training programs and education scholarships. Senator Kristen Gillibrand of New York said she would reduce taxes on the middle class, enact stricter gun control measures, reduce the size of the federal government by 10% via attrition, increase funding for mental health programs, support a balanced budget amendment, and end fraud in entitlement programs if elected President. Former Senator Russ Feigngold said getting the U.S. to cut military spending and enacting tough campaign finance and ethics reform would be priorities of his if elected President. Governor Gavin Newsom stated that he would fight for universal health care, a federal gay marriage law, and a higher minimum wage if elected President. Senator Bob Casey Jr. said that if elected President, he would repeal Chris Christie's regulatory reform act and fight for green energy in the U.S.

PHILADELPHIA, PA - Republican Presidential Nominee Susanna Martinez and Democratic Presidential nominee Kristen Gillibrand participated in their first presidential debate.
Memorable quotes:
"For the past eight years, thanks to the bi-partisian accomplishments of this administration, we've seen the restoration of our nation's economy followed by growth. Our economy has added over 11 million new jobs, income is up by over $1,400, the national debt has gone from $19.7 trillion down to $13.5 trillion, and consumer confidence is double what it was eight years ago. I've proposed reducing tax rates across the board by 25%, balancing the federal budget by capping federal spending, and creating new tax incentives for green technology. My opponent has proposed $800 billion in new spending, but has no way to pay for it" - Susanna Martinez
"Nobody is doubting that the past eight years have seen the restoration of our economy in some regards. The question people are asking is, which one of us can deliver expanded opportunity? The truth is, the Vice President has been rather vague in the policies she advocates. I've been bold. My tax cut would reduce the payroll tax in half for those making under $80,000 per year. I've said I'd keep the Christie tax cuts, which I voted for, permanent - but I'd reduce the size of the federal workforce via attrition by 10% and ask the wealthy to pay 40% of their income in taxes while we close cooperate loopholes. I've proposed investments in health care, education, and infrastructure totaling $200 billion - plus by $600 billion tax cut. But, the $800 billion is paid for by doing the things I mentioned, plus taking into account current federal revenues" - Kristen Gillibrand

October 17, 2024 - Crist, Grimm participate in vice presidential debate
LOUISVILLE, KY - Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee Charlie Crist and Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Michael Grimm participated in a vice presidential debate.
Memorable quotes are as follows:
"The republicans have spoken about cutting taxes and not much else. In the U.S. Senate, Kristen Gillibrand supported their tax cuts - but also pushed forward expanding veterans health care, education reform, and research grant tax credits. As a Governor, I did reduce taxes. But, I also made sure our state made investments in education, green technology, and that we engaged in international trade. Tax cuts are one part of growing our economy, you also have to invest in alternate energy, education, and support free trade" - Charlie Crist
"The fact of the matter is, I know crisis. I inherited a city where the crime rate increased by 12% in the 4 years before I took office. Our city lost 22,000 jobs even as the U.S. economy added 5 million jobs in the same time period. City spending increased 24%, taxes went up 9%. Since I've been Mayor, we reduced crime by 38%, city spending has been reduced by 33%, taxes have been cut by 15%, and we've added over 108,000 new private-sector jobs. So, I think I've been an effective leader and am qualified to be Vice President" - Michael Grimm
October 19, 2024 - At event in Colorado, former presidential hopefuls predict close election
()()
DENVER, CO - At a forum, Former Presidential Candidates Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and Rick Santorum (R-PA) predicted the 2024 election would be close. "I think that Kristen Gillibrand is probably running a more effective campaign, but Susanna Martinez benefits from the President's popularity. The economy is strong, and that helps the republicans. I think Senator Gillibrand will win, but it's going to be close" Cuomo stated. "The Vice President has the advantage of being in the Christie white house, and I think she has broader appeal to independents based on the issues - tax cuts and balanced budgets - she's running on. She's focusing on the right places - Virginia, Florida, and Pennsylvania. I think Senator Gillibrand, however, is also focusing on the right places. It's going to be a very close election, I honestly don't know who will win" Santorum said. Cuomo served as Governor of New York from 2011-2023 and was the 2016 Democratic Presidential Nominee. Santorum served in the U.S. Senate from 1995-2007 and was a presidential hopeful in 2012 and 2016. Cuomo presently is an attorney in New York City, Santorum is currently a Fox News Contributor and radio talk show host.

Two comments. First, how did 2020 census affect electoral college? Second, it seems that most states are the same (so far), with regards to swing states and reliable R/D states. Georgia is mainly what caught my eye. Did it stay reliably republican during Christie administration? Also, I love how Chiesa is now on SCOTUS. Wonder if there was a big deal that he was also senate at one point? Keep it up!

Well, I am assuming the EV is the same although it won't be. It did stay in the GOP column during the Christie landslide of 2020 and his win in 2016.
I predict that Gillibrand wins 288-250 and the race is called at 1:30 AM on the East Coast. Right now, Gillibrand vs Martinez is too close to call. If New Hampshire goes for Gillibrand, I think we can say Gillibrand leads the race.
Here is your answer;
10 PM
We can now project that Montana has gone for the Vice President with 58% of the vote. Nevada remains too close to call. Utah goes republican, with 66% of the vote.
11 PM
We have more projections to make. California goes to Gillibrand. Hawaii goes to Gillibrand. Idaho goes for Martinez. North Dakota goes to Martinez. Oregon and Washington both stay democratic.
11:40 PM
At this hour, we are ready to project that, with 99% of the precincts reporting, Kristen Gillibrand has carried the President's home state of New Jersey by a margin of 52%-47%. The state went democratic in every year from 1992-2016, then went for President Christie twice, both times by large margins, but now goes back to the democrats. Republican Former Governor Tom Kean Jr. won a senate seat in New Jersey tonight though, he defeated Democrat Jerry Fulop 50%-48%. Interesting.
11:57 PM
We can now call New Hampshire for Kristen Gillibrand, she wins there 53%-46%.
1 AM
We project that Alaska goes for Martinez.
2:40 AM

If Martinez won 74% of the white vote, that would put her in landslide territory even thought Whites compose a smaller size of the electorate in 2014 when compared to today. Especially when Martinez and Gillibrand split the Hispanic vote according to the exit polls.

July 14, 2027 - In New Hampshire, Rubio wins two big endorsements, touts record and agenda
()
DOVER, NH - GOP Presidential Hopeful Marco Rubio picked up the endorsements of Governor Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Former U.S. Attorney General Kim Guadango while campaigning in New Hampshire. Rubio touted his record in politics, and his vision on the trail. "In the U.S. Senate, I worked with Pat Toomey and President Christie to pass historic tax relief, real border security, and the overhaul of Obamacare. As a Governor over the past three years, I've reduced state spending, but we haven't raised taxes or fees. As President, I have proposed an overhaul of our tax code. I believe that our tax code should be simple. If you make less than $250,000 per year, your income tax rate should be 8%, and you should be able to deduct an additional $10,000 per year on top of that. If you make above $250,000 then your tax rate will be 28%, and we ask for no more deductions in return. I've also proposed a 12%, across the board reduction in federal spending much like the one President Christie implemented. I've proposed de-regulating the energy sector to create energy independence" Rubio said.

July 18, 2027 - GOP hopefuls hold first debate
()
()
()
MANCHESTER, NH - the candidates seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2028 held their first primary debate. Here are some memorable quotes from the event:
"In the U.S. Senate, I worked hard with President Christie to cut taxes, reform our education system, and reform our broken health care system. As Governor, I've reduced state spending, reduced our debt, and did it without raising taxes. I'm running for President because I believe the people of this country deserve a President who will fight for free markets and a strong national defense. I believe in the promise of this country, and I think we need a President who is committed to issues like tax relief and reform, a balanced budget, energy independence, and solving problems we still face in education" - Gov. Marco Rubio
"I believe that this primary gives republicans a clear choice. Governor Rubio and Senator Blunt are career politicians who have done some good things, but who have also strayed away from conservative values at time. Governor Rubio has supported amnesty for illegal aliens, and Senator Blunt has voted to increase government spending by $150 billion in the past year alone. I stand here, ready to fight for American exceptionalism as I always have, for free markets, and for traditional values" - Fmr. Secretary of State Liz Cheney
"This election is a referendum on liberalism. This President believes that by increasing federal subsidies to private organizations and promoting the appointment of left wing justices to federal courts, our country will be better off. I think that we'd be better off interpreting the constitution as it is written, and allowing free markets to work" - Rep. Kristi Noem
"For decades now, politicians in both parties have allowed for China to cheat on trade. They've allowed the federal Department of Education to expand. They've allowed our tax code to punish people for saving their own money. I believe it's time for a change in Washington, and I offer Americans the kind of change we all deserve" - Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr.
"I hear people saying this economy is strong. The fact of the matter is, for many Americans, this economy is working. But, for to many, it isn't. The story the media and the administration won't tell is the one where inner-city foreclosures are up by 32% over the past three years. They won't tell you people's incomes are beginning to fall again. Under President Christie, we saw incomes rise by an average of $815 per year. Last year, incomes fell by $400 - the first fall in income since 2018. I think our nation needs a President who will tell you the truth when it comes to the state of our economy" - Former Governor Rick Snyder
"I agree with Liz Cheney, we do have a choice in this election. In congress, I voted against amnesty for illegal aliens. Marco Rubio led the fight for amnesty. As a Governor, I've fought to cut taxes, I didn't just not raise them. Marco Rubio hasn't given a penny of tax relief to Florida taxpayers despite promising too. This is a choice between the republican establishment, represented by Governor Rubio, and tea party groups and grassroots activists who are joining my effort to throw our our current tax code, officially repeal Obamacare, and actually balance our federal budget" - Fmr. Gov. Mike Pence
"What the Republican Party needs is a uniter. I'll unite people behind a very straight forward agenda. It starts with education reform - more choice, more local control, and a smaller role for government. It continues with enforcing immigration laws, we've seen border security and some enforcement, but we can and need to do even more. It continues with a real plan to balance the budget by making tough, yet necessary choices. My agenda is a bold, conservative agenda. We'll win on this agenda in 2028" - Sen. Matt Blunt
"I believe that restoring individual liberty, free markets, and a humble foreign policy will be the job of the next President. The republican establishment will have you believe that going along to get along works. What has it gotten us? Washington politicians still control education, they still insist that we spend billions on foreign aid and overseas bases, and our tax code remains too complex. It's time for leadership that emphasizes liberty" - Sen. Ted Cruz

WASHINGTON, DC - As the front-runner for the Republican Presidential Nomination, Governor Marco Rubio began focusing on the general election as much as more primaries. Rubio began criticizing the Gillibrand administration on government spending, energy policy, and health care. "This President believes that we should increase spending to pay for green energy tax credits. She's increased the rate of government spending by over 7% since taking office four years ago. Part of that is going to new regulations on oil and natrual gas. At the same time, she has new health care mandates that falls upon state's to enforce, it's not working" Rubio said. The President hit back. "The reality is, we've expanded health care coverage to women, children, the elderly, and veterans. When I took office in 2025, our national debt was $13.7 trillion - today it's $12.9 trillion. We've paid for the spending we've done, and I will fight for pay-go legislation moving forward. By contrast, as Governor of Florida, Marco Rubio has borrowed $575 million even though no one in Florida has seen the tax relief he promised them when he ran for Governor" she stated. While a recent poll found that President Gillibrand had a 52% approval rating, she led all of her perspective GOP opponents. She led Rubio 46%-44%, Blunt 48%-42%, Cheney 49%-38%, Noem 48%-40%, and Pence 49%-35%.

Feb. 12, 2028 - Cheney backs Rubio
()
CLEVELAND, OH - Former Republican Presidential Candidate and Secretary of State Liz Cheney backed Marco Rubio's bid for President. "If the goal of the Republican Party is to win the 2028 election and limit the size and scope of the federal government while protecting our homeland, Marco Rubio is the right choice for President" Cheney said.
Feb. 15, 2028 - Ahead of Super Tuesday, a three way race
In the Republican Presidential Primaries, Governor Marco Rubio remains the GOP front-runner, casting himself as the most electable Republican. Rubio, who is traveling across the country touting his tax cut agenda and in how he differs from the President, is earning the support of the Republican establishment. Congresswoman Krisi Noem, running on a pro-life, pro-second amendment platform, remains a favorite of social conservatives. Noem has attacked Rubio as to centrist, pointing to his long standing positions on immigration reform and his opposition to a federal marriage amendment. Senator Matt Blunt, running as the compromise candidate between the establishment and the right, began going negative on Rubio - accusing him of changing positions on illegal immigration and government spending for political reasons. Nationally, polls show Rubio with a wide lead going into Super Tuesday, but as Rubio campaigns in various states, Noem is banking on wins in southern states, while Blunt is courting fiscally conservative republicans in larger states like Ohio and New Jersey.
Feb. 23, 2028 - Super Tuesday: Rubio dominates, Noem defies expectations, Blunt ends presidential bid
Governor Marco Rubio won multiple contests on Super Tuesday. He won primaries in Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Alaska, and Kentucky. After only carrying one state, Tennessee, Senator Matt Blunt ended his presidential campaign. Defying expectations, Congresswoman Kristi Noem picked up victories in her home state of North Dakota, as well as in Idaho, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and West Virginia.

May 27, 2028 - Martinez: U.S. economy not as strong under Gillibrand
()
SANTA FE, NM - Former Vice President Susanna Martinez told CNN she felt Marco Rubio had a chance of being elected President if the economy continued to go downward. "In just the last three years President Christie and I were in office, our economy grew at an average of 3.2%, federal revenue increased by 24%, more Americans found work as our economy added over 4 million jobs, and income grew by $700. Since this President has taken office, growth has slowed from an average of 3.2% down to 2.9%, instead of 4 million jobs, we only have created 3.4 million, income has remained virtually flat, and for in 2027, for the first time in 8 years, those requiring food stamps grew - we brought the number down from 47 million to 31 million, they are back at 33.2 million today. So, if the economy continues to slow, Governor Rubio will win in the fall, but of course we hope the economy grows and Rubio still wins" Martinez said.

"Over the past four years, it has been the honor to serve the American people. I am proud to say that in this era of prosperity, we have gotten things done. We've invested in more police on our streets, expanding health care access, education, green energy, and tax cuts for working families. Over the next four years, I will continue to work to advance these causes, plus I'll work to balance the federal budget, eliminate the income tax for working families, pay down the national debt, raising our minimum wage, pass reasonable gun control measures, and fight to reform our campaign finance system" - President Kristen Gillibrand
"Americans have a clear choice in this election. The President believes that everything is just fine in our economy today. The truth is, this era of prosperity is slowing. Fewer Americans are finding work today than were just one year ago. Family income didn't rise last year for the first time in a decade. For the first time in eight years, our country has seen month trade deficits. America can do better. I've proposed a tax cut plan which will grow our economy and make our tax code more fair. I've proposed an across the board spending cut so we once again live within our means. If we do these things, we can grow our economy once again" - Governor Marco Rubio

"Over the past four years, it has been the honor to serve the American people. I am proud to say that in this era of prosperity, we have gotten things done. We've invested in more police on our streets, expanding health care access, education, green energy, and tax cuts for working families. Over the next four years, I will continue to work to advance these causes, plus I'll work to balance the federal budget, eliminate the income tax for working families, pay down the national debt, raising our minimum wage, pass reasonable gun control measures, and fight to reform our campaign finance system" - President Kristen Gillibrand
"Americans have a clear choice in this election. The President believes that everything is just fine in our economy today. The truth is, this era of prosperity is slowing. Fewer Americans are finding work today than were just one year ago. Family income didn't rise last year for the first time in a decade. For the first time in eight years, our country has seen month trade deficits. America can do better. I've proposed a tax cut plan which will grow our economy and make our tax code more fair. I've proposed an across the board spending cut so we once again live within our means. If we do these things, we can grow our economy once again" - Governor Marco Rubio

"When Chris Christie was President, our country saw the creation of over 12 million new jobs and the largest reduction in government spending in decades. I'm proud to have been a leader in the fight for the Christie agenda. Today, our country faces a choice. We can continue on the failed policies of the past eight years, or we can move in a new direction in which we create economic growth through lower taxes, open markets, fewer regulations, and balanced budgets. I offer Americans the opportunity to move in that new direction" - Rep. Lynn Jenkins of Kansas
"For seven years, I fought for change in New York City. Our city saw a 33% reduction in unemployment, a 15% reduction in taxes, and a 39% reduction in crime. I took my record as a Mayor to the U.S. Senate where I fought for more police on our streets, and helped convince this President to reduce taxes on the middle class as opposed to just raising taxes on business. Today, our economy is in crisis. It takes tough, strong, determined leadership to grow our economy. My tax cut will help small businesses, and my approach is very simple: lower taxes to help create jobs, and let states have some of their money back so they can help people in their time of need" - Sen. Michael Grimm of New York
"President Gillibrand has ignored our failing economy, and has decided to instead focus all of her energy on taking away people's second amendment rights while putting in place energy policies which have halted reductions in imported oil. I've led the fight against the Gillibrand agenda in the U.S. Senate. I hope to be the nominee of our party so that together, we can fight for conservative values now and always" - Sen. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma
"I believe in the promise of America. Four years ago, you gave me the opportunity to be our party's nominee for President. I warned our nation about the failures of this administration and the need to change course. I'm asking you for your support this year because I believe what we proposed last time is even more important now. I have the experience to lead our country in an era of challenge. I'm asking for your confidence once again so we can create jobs while reducing our national debt" - Gov. Marco Rubio of Florida
"The path to victory for the republican party is to stand on principle. Washington needs to balance it's books, and politicians need to be accountable to the people. It's time to put partisan politics aside for the sake of our country. The democrats are the party of spending and taxing, we need to be the party of cutting and balancing. I am proud to be from the same state as one of our greatest Presidents, Chris Christie. Like Chris Christie, I have certain values, and I'll fight for those values. I hope you'll join me in the fight to change Washington" - Sen. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey
"I believe the republican party has to unite behind common goals. Opportunity for our people, and service above self. I've dedicated most of my life to public service. I've been an ambassador on various occasions, a Governor, a businessman, a teacher, and a United States Senator. I believe that a President must have both experience and judgement. On the issues, the voters know where I stand. I believe that the way to growth is through green energy, a flatter tax code, and focusing on our infrastructure, not the infrastructure of nation's thousands of miles away" - Sen. Jon Huntsman Jr.

October 15, 2031 - Democrats Hold Debate

"I've spent my life in public service, bringing people together to achieve challenges people said were impossible. In New Jersey, I invested money in education and infrastructure without raising property taxes or borrowing more money. You see, the power of unity brings all of our people together. That's how I'll work to increase education funding and demand greater accountability, cut taxes on working families, raising our minimum wage again, and ban assault weapons" - FMR. Gov. Cory Booker
"Americans want a President who has the experience to lead. In New York, I have dealt with issues which effect the economy and security of not only all New Yorkers, but all Americans. Americans also want a leader of conviction. I have always stood for the principles of equality and opportunity, and I'll never back down. As President, my top priorities will be to provide every child in America with quality health care, cut taxes on working families, and grow our economy by expanding our markets and reforming our tax code. If your ready for change, I'm ready to lead" - Gov. Chelsea Clinton
"Over the past eight years, President Gillibrand has led our country in the right direction. She's cut taxes on working families, raised the minimum wage, enacted tough new gun control laws, and she's managed to freeze the rate of government spending. I'm proud to have led the fight for these policies in the united states senate. The question for our party now is, do we continue on the progress of the past eight years, or do we ignore the progress? I believe our party and our country deserve leadership that confronts challenges using proven policies" - Sen. Michael Bennett
"As our economy slows and the likelihood of a balanced budget diminishes, it's time for us democrats to ask ourselves, are Americans better off today than they were four years ago? Most people would say they are worse off. The way to prosperity is clear: competing in the global economy through trade, balance the federal budget, cut taxes on small business, and invest in education. I believe the next four years can, and must be better than the past four. This President has taken her eye off the ball game as it relates to the economy, and my focus will be on creating good paying jobs for our citizens" - Sen. Harold Ford Jr.
"When you go to the polls, I'm asking you to ask yourself: who on this stage represents the democratic party? I have a 100% pro-choice voting record and have been fighting to make sure marriage equality remains the law in Illinois. I've raised the minimum wage and signed tough new gun laws into effect. I've provided health care to more of our poor, and did it by asking wealthier citizens of my state to pay 15% more in income taxes. Cory Booker and Chelsea Clinton both had their chances to fight for these policies, and both of them have failed. I've succeeded" - Gov. Rahm Emanuel
"I believe our party has a good field of candidates in this election. Each of us will fight for greater access to health care, raising the minimum wage, cutting taxes on working families, and investing in education and infrastructure. The question is, who can win in 2032? I believe my backround in law enforcement and in the U.S. Senate gives me a diverse amount of knowledge. I've led and legislated. I've been in the private and public sectors. I believe I have the experience needed to lead this country, and I can win this election" - Sen. Beau Biden

MANCHESTER, NH - Campaigning in New Hampshire, Governor Chelsea Clinton told voters she was the most electable democrat in the race for President because of her moderate views and record.

But, I also have a record which transcends party lines. I fought for civil service pension reform, capped the growth in state spending on 77% of our budget items, and I stood up and signed a tax cut on small business in New York" Clinton said.
November 19, 2031 - Bush questions Clinton record
()
CHARLESTON, SC - Governor George P. Bush questioned Chelsea Clinton's portrayal of her own record as a Governor. "The fact remains the same, while Governor, Chelsea Clinton fought to implement cap and trade in New York, the equivalent to a $7 billion tax increase on all New Yorkers. She also increased her state's capital gains tax rate by 50%, and property taxes went up 23%. In all, she won over $12 billion in higher taxes, not to mention $5 billion in new spending, and her state saw the nation's largest health care cost increases as a result of new regulations she fought for" Bush said. Bush also spoke of his own record. "I cut taxes by $1.2 billion, reduced state debt by 40%, reduced state spending by 10%, saw record test scores as a result of our educational reforms, and we increased state tax credits to local charities, resulting in a drop in food stamp usage while the rest of the country has seen an increase" Bush said.

CHARLESTON, SC - Casting himself as a Washington outsider beyond labels, Governor George Bush of Texas finds himself being challenged by the political left and right within his party.

"In this time of challenge to our nation's economy, giving the democrats a third chance of getting the job done is a risk Americans can not afford. What we need is strong, new, steady leadership. While our opponents propose $700 billion in new federal spending and higher taxes on small business, our party has a nominee who proposes fundamental tax reform to get our economy on the right track" - Former Secretary of State Liz Cheney
August 3, 2032 - Toomey accepts Vice Presidential Nomination
()
"Over the past four years, the number of Americans on food stamps has risen to the highest levels in over 15 years. Job growth is the slowest in 17 years, and over 400,000 Americans lost work last year. The foreclosure rate has hit a 20 year high. It's time for a new direction for our economy. We need to reduce taxes and reform our broken tax code, repeal many of the costly regulations of the past eight years, not only balance the budget and hold the line on spending, but we need to cut spending to renew confidence in the United States. We need to build a stronger economy through embracing the free market" - Gov. Pat Toomey (R-PA)

In Texas, I increased school choice, reformed tenure, and allowed local communities to make decisions in education. Washington has failed America. Today, many struggle to find work. Our schools are failing too many. Many of our citizens lack the health care coverage they need. It's time for a change, and change begins with us working together for common goals" - Gov. George P. Bush (R-TX)

"Chelsea Clinton and I want to help get America back to work. We applaud the efforts of the current administration to handle the recession, but we want to take the next steps to grow our economy.

My opponent and I have differing ideas about how to grow our economy. His ideas come from the perspective that if Wall Street and the wealthy are okay, everyone else will be okay. I believe that small business is the key to economic growth. His values are Wall Street values, mine are Main Street values" - Gov. Chelsea Clinton (D-NY).

"The fact is, since Governor Clinton took office, New Yorker's have seen their total state tax burden increase by 15%, state spending is up by 7.5%, welfare rolls have gone up in New York faster than in all but five states, and thanks to new mandates, New York now ranks #2 for highest health care premiums, they ranked #8 when the Governor took office" Bush said of Clinton while campaigning in Pennsylvania. In Florida, Clinton slammed Bush. "George Bush likes to tell people he cut state debt in Texas. He did so by cutting tax breaks to family farmers and aid to community colleges, but he allowed for tax breaks for large corporations in Texas. In Texas, the number of uninsured people as a percentage remains in the top ten in this country" Clinton said.

"If we want to grow the American economy, we as a nation must invest in our people.

I believe that helping working families get ahead is the calling of our time." - Gov. Chelsea Clinton
October 8, 2032 - Vice Presidential Candidates Debate
"George Bush and I offer Americans a new direction. In Texas, George Bush cut taxes, overhauled his state's education system, and fought for greater transparency in government. During my career, I built a successful business, fought for the Christie agenda in the senate, and cut spending and taxes as a Governor. We have the experience and the record of results to lead this country towards greatness again" - Gov. Pat Toomey
"Chelsea Clinton and I have put forth a bold agenda which invests in education and health care while also reducing taxes on working families. We believe that investing in America doesn't mean infringing on our free market economy, and it certainly doesn't mean breaking the bank. Our opponents believe large corporate tax breaks and allowing Wall Street to run wild is the key to economic growth, we believe in the American people" - Sen. Beau Biden

October 25, 2032 - Bush, Clinton participate in final debate
"In Texas, I fought to reduce taxes, overhaul our state's education system, and I took on the political establishment in fighting for greater transparency. My priorities are clear.

We need a President with a proven record of results, and I believe I offer the American people just that" - Gov. George P. Bush
"Americans deserve a President who believes in them. George Bush believes in tax breaks for the wealthy and de-regulation on Wall Street. It's time to invest in education, health care, and the environment. While George Bush worries about corporate profits, I believe it's time to raise the minimum wage. Where as George Bush believes that the federal government should ignore education, I believe in more low-interest student loans. It's time to invest in America again" - Gov. Chelsea Clinton
