Talk Elections

Let’s say Hillary and the Trumpster could pick any Atlas posters as their running mates. Likely one of their fans. How could such match-ups end? Feel free to post maps and select posters.

I’ll post some maps later on.

Hillary/Virginia (Crucial FL swing state, gender)

Trump/Sanchez (FL, ideology stuff)

Trump/Smilo

Hillary/Winfield

Trump/Seriously? Has a great sound to it
Trump/States Poll because he'd tell Trump he's winning California because....Whatever

Hillary/Virginia It's like two battleground states in one poster
Hillary/IceSpear She does like hard workers

I decided to make a shortlist of five each.
Clinton's Shortlist:
evergreen (attack dog, left-wing, gender)
IceSpear (devoted fan, PA, Trump was gonna win WV & OK anyway)
RR1997 (shows bipartisanship)
Virginia (see LLR and dingojoe's reasoning)
LLR (Gank dat youth vote with a youth vote, boi)
Trump's Shortlist:
President Johnson (devoted fan, shows bipartisanship)
Sprouts (PA)
Seriously? (attack dog, see dingojoe's reasoning)
Sanchez (see LLR's reasoning)
Classic (reassure former Cruz supporters)
I felt StatesPoll would work better as Trump's pollster than as his running mate.

I probably got taken off the shortlist because I can't tell what that means :(

It was supposed to be a reference to Steven Universe, in which Mayor Dewey states that he needs to, in his words, "gank dat youth vote, boi," in order to get re-elected. Since you're young, I called you a youth vote.

Well, I haven't been vetted...it's an intriguing possibility, but I love serving at my current job...

please pick me please pick me

Trump/Santander

Clinton/Icespear

God, Trump is really pandering to me and to me only.

I probably agree with Santander more than just about anyone else these days (a bit more liberal on economics than I used to be), so I'd count that as pandering to myself also.

Clinton shortlist

Zioneer (Twist the knife in with Utah)
Virginia (Gender)
Torie (Muh LGBT vote)
TimTurner (Muslim vote)
RR1997 (bipartisan vote)

Trump vote

President Johnson (see Peebs reasoning)
smilio
Classic Conservative
Santander
Abe Washington

FTR, Virginia has said she is Bisexual, so that might laos help with the LGBT vote.

Virginia is best VP pick.

I know, but Torie's a bit more blatant about that part, and we all know how much politicians love pandering when crunch time rolls around.

Hillary Clinton/Maxwell v. Donald Trump/President Johnson would make me support/try to illegally vote for the latter easily.

President Johnson - this guy Johnson, I mean geez, have you seen him? Says he loves America when he's a German nationalist! He's going to bring the Nazis into this country or something. We need to have borders. If it means patrolling the Atlantic Ocean so these fringe Germans don't enter our country so be it.

And then Seriously?. Seriously, folks? Give me a break. He has what - seven, maybe eight posts? We need experience in the White House. Nobody even knows who this guy is, we know nothing about him, and we're going to put him side-by-side with Donald Trump.

Then you say ohhhh, experienced posters, you want! So you say give me ChairmanSanchez, and really, I almost fell off my chair on this one because this could turn out very, very dangerous and very deadly real fast. This campaign is "Make America Great Again" not "Bring America back to the 60s where the hippies were taking over the country and people were getting shot on college campuses." There is a time and place for everything, but this is not how we move forward. And appeal to the youth vote! My heavens - he's a year younger than me. His method of getting the youth vote is to dangle a senile old man like Ron Paul in front of them!

So you think Classic Conservative, let's unite the base - oh this ones tough. Real tough - definitely gives me the shivers. ::) Yeah, he makes some good points, but have you ever noticed how he's always such a hot mess? He never takes a second to catch his breath! He just keeps talking and talking and talking and adding 'and' and 'if this' and 'then that' and the sentences don't stop. When does it end? He looks like a nervous wreck! And I get so tired listening. So tired of trying to understand what is being said. We need excitement. This doesn't add to the movement. We have something big here, and we're going to waste it on Nervous CC? I don't think so.

Now I see, Santander getting thrown out there, and this one's another knee slapper. I like the guy - no doubt. But he's a massive liar! One minute, he's talking about his New Jersey labour union, and then he's a finance guy, but he's not named after bank; he's just trying to sound Spanish, but he's Asian and Scottish. And then he's Jewish, but not really, he just got educated with them. But his people are invading our schools, and he has a family member in every college town. It's a slippery slope. At some point, you just really start to think your leaders aren't representing you. He's a Dixiecrat because it's convenient, but he works with the banks - he knows. I wouldn't be surprised if he was nothing more than a closet cuck. Snooty Santander is nothing more than a pawn of Wall Street - it's all over his history. He lied about his name; he let something slip about his ethnicity - we won't forget that; we're not even sure he's eligible.

Okay, so let's just say what Sprouts clearly wants us to say and say Trump/Sprouts. ;)

I don't want the job. I don't know who would. But it's clear the country needs me.

In my experiences, not all gay/lesbian folks are favorable towards people of my orientation. I don't know how much of the community is like this, but it is at least enough for me to notice.



Rofl SPROUTS 2016!

I have better proposal: instead of choosing her for the second spot, just give Virginia her very own electoral votes.

#UnpledgedElectorsForVirginia

EDIT: Didn't realize I had virgin in my post. Sorry

Whoops! Trump wouldn't pick you unless he moved to Florida or something...serve me right for writing this up late at night...

I'm truely honored by this.

president johnson is probably the best bet, yeah. it's in the stubby-fingered rapist's nature to pick a mindless sycophant.

i think deadflagblues would be a great pick for clinton. also clarence, griffin, or zioneer.

It would be beautiful.

How the hell has nobody mentioned Adam Griffin?!? 

You age him up to 35, give him some more state-level democratic party experience, and he's like a non-evil Castro, except he would appeal to southerners and Bernie supporters.

Trump picks Fuzzy Bear
Clinton picks Virginia
