Talk Elections

I was planning on doing an election game for the 2016 election cycle, and I wanted to see how many people would be interested.

For those who don't know, here are the basic rules of this game:

- You may sign up as any candidate who would have been able to run for president in 2016.
- Turns will last 48 hours, although a player may request an extension of 24 hours if they wish.
- Each turn will consist of the following:
* Poll results and any potentially relevant news items will be posted at the start of the turn. Candidates may request polling for one state per turn (in PMs), and there will be polls for the aforementioned state by next turn.
* Candidates will post schedules for the week of the turn, although they don't necessarily have to be incredibly specific. Schedules should summarize the week of the candidate.
* Candidates may also make advertisements, which can help their performance.
* Players should PM me to ask for endorsements, and GIVE REASONING WHY they should be endorsed. Some endorsements will be more difficult to get than others, so try to be realistic.
* On turn 1, players will signup as their candidates, and post campaign announcement speeches if they so choose. Turn 2 will be the week of Monday, June 15 through Sunday, June 22.
* The debate schedule will be roughly the same as in real life (if there are multiple debates for one party in one week, I'll just do one debate). During a debate, I will PM each player taking part a set of questions to answer, and each player's debate answers will be in the topic at the start of the next turn.

Candidates:

Democratic Party

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) - GoTfan21
Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE) - wjx987
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) - NewYorkExpress

Republican Party

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) - BigVic
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) - UWS
Stephen Pearcy (R-CA) - Jaguar4Life
Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) - CMB222
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) - Yankee_Mapper
Donald J. Trump (R-NY) - diptheriadan
Governor Mitch Daniels (R-IN) - Serious_Username

Third parties:

I'd like to run as Senator Bernie Sanders for the Democrats.

Trump for the Reform Party

EDIT: Nevermind. Too busy.

I'd like to run as Senator Ted Cruz (R) of Texas

I'd like to run as as Senator Marco Rubio (R) of Florida

I'll take VP Joe Biden of Delaware (D)

Can I be a non politican who runs for the Republicans?

Sure.

I have someone in mind

I want to be Ratt lead singer Stephen Percy who is a  registered Republican

Can you enter later on?

Yes, although entering after the first debate may not be the best idea.

I'd like to run as Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) though I will be on vacation from June 16-28 so I won't be active during that time.

I'd love to run as Elizabeth Warren...

Elizabeth Warren announces for President!

()

I announce my bid for the White House to bring justice to those who have lost it all over the last eight years. We need to break up the big banks, to prevent a crisis such as that which occurred almost seven years ago. We need to mobilize as much of resources as possible into green energy, so that the earth's climate can long endure. We need a foreign policy that is flexible enough to use diplomacy effectively, without ruling out the use of force with allies when appropriate. We need to once and for all settle the legacy of racism and sexism in this country in a decisive manner. With your support, we can pass real health care reform, instead of the half-hearted effort President Obama made with the Affordable Care Act. We can break up the big banks, and with your support we can elect progressives across the country.

Of course, we can also make history. If nominated, I will be the first woman nominated by a major party for the Oval Office, and if elected I will be the first woman elected to serve as President. Obviously, this is a tough challenge, and I am facing difficult opposition such as Vice-President Biden, and we will start out behind, but I am confident we will win.

It's time to elect a true Progressive, who actually is a registered Democrat, rather than someone who isn't registered Democrat, and is just using the party to further his own goals. It's time to make history and elect a woman for President.

Thanks for participating, everyone. Signups should be open for ~28 more hours.

RATT LEAD SINGER TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016
Blabbermouth.com
One of the finest lead frontmen in glam metal Stephen Percy in a stunning announcement says he will run for president Monday night on the Eddie Trunk show

PERCY:Well you know I wanna run because you look at these chooses that are not third party. Some that will run and they have said it and some who haven't put their hat in the race but prob will soon.

You see the people who have so far said they would run don't sound exciting to me.

TRUNK:Why's that?

Percy:Well for Ted Cruz is basically a bible thumper and has a voice I just not stand it sounds like someone is pinching his nose. *They both laugh* Biden is old and will be a repeat of the Obama administration though he won't have what really made Obama a star for the democrats is a good speaking and one who looks pretty when you put him next to the camera.

Trunk:What about the favorite for the democratic nomination Hillary Clinton?

Percy:Oh that's even worse. She is Obama but more of a war mongering and her forgien policy plans are similar to something Jeb Bush would say and speaking of Jeb Bush nothing needs to be said over then he's a Bush lol.

Trunk:People are you tell you you don't look Presidental how will you respond to that?

Percy:Well I will tell them remember Kennedy who basically was a womanizer or Bill Clinton who looked more like a rock star than a Presidental candidate or even Obama with him smoking pot in high school.

Hey what happened in the 80s lost its value for me. It's not going  out of the cellar yes that pun was intended

Actually, I think I will enter.

Okay. Still as Trump, I assume?

As a Republican yes.

I would like to participate as Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. I will have an announcement post up before the end of the sign up period.


()

Indianapolis - Former Indiana Governor and current Purdue University President Mitch Daniels today launched what it sure to be a long-shot bid for President yesterday. Daniels, who was director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Bush prior to his tenure as Governor, decried the state of fiscal conservatism in the current crop of candidates while highlighting his own experience reducing deficit spending - both federally and in Indiana. In his first speech as a declared candidate, Daniels attacked President Obama for his "reckless" spending and repeatedly promised to repeal and replace the healthcare law known as Obamacare if elected. Whether a pitch to voters based on fiscal conservatism in the current electoral climate will be a winning strategy, however, remains to be seen. Current polls have Daniels in a distant last place in Iowa and near the back of the pack in New Hampshire.

Announcement :

Date : April 13, 2015

Place : Freedom Tower in Miami, Florida

Thank you.

After months of deliberation and prayer about the future of our country, I have come here tonight to make an announcement on how I believe I can best serve her.

I chose to make this announcement at the Freedom Tower because it is a symbol of our nation’s identity as the land of opportunity. And I am more confident than ever that despite our troubles, we have it within our power to make our time another American Century.

In this very room five decades ago, tens of thousands of Cuban exiles began their new lives in America. Their story is part of the larger story of the American miracle. How, united by a common faith in their God given right to go as far as their talent and work would take them, a collection of immigrants and exiles, former slaves and refugees, became one people, and together built the freest and most prosperous nation ever.

For almost all of human history, power and wealth belonged only to a select few. Most people who have ever lived were trapped by the circumstances of their birth, destined to live the life their parents had. But America is different. Here, we are the children and grandchildren of people who refused to accept this.

Both of my parents were born to poor families in Cuba. After his mother died when he was nine, my father left school to go work. My mother was one of seven girls raised by a disabled father who struggled to provide for his family.

When they were young, my parents had big dreams for themselves. But because they were not born into wealth or power, their future was destined to be defined by their past. So in 1956 they came here, to the one place on earth where the aspirations of people like them could be more than just dreams.

My father became a bartender. My mother a cashier, a maid and a Kmart stock clerk. They never made it big. But they were successful. Two immigrants with little money or education found stable jobs, owned a home, retired with security and gave all four of their children a life far better than their own.

My parents achieved what came to be known as the American Dream. But now, too many Americans are starting to doubt whether achieving that dream is still possible:

Hard working families living paycheck to paycheck, one unexpected expense away from disaster…Young Americans, unable to start a career, a business or a family, because they owe thousands in student loans for degrees that did not lead to jobs…And small business owners, left to struggle under the weight of more taxes, more regulations and more government.

Why is this happening in a country that for over two centuries has been defined by equality of opportunity? Because while our people and economy are pushing the boundaries of the 21st century, too many of our leaders and their ideas are stuck in the twentieth century. They are busy looking backward, so they do not see how jobs and prosperity today depend on our ability to compete in a global economy. So our leaders put us at a disadvantage by taxing, borrowing and regulating like it’s 1999.

They look for solutions in yesterday, so they don’t see that good-paying modern jobs require different skills and more education than the past. And they have forgotten that when America fails to lead, global chaos inevitably follows, so they appease our enemies, betray our allies and weaken our military.

At the turn of the 19th century, a generation of Americans harnessed the power of the Industrial Age and transformed this country into the leading economy in the world. And the 20th century became the American Century.

Now, the time has come for our generation to lead the way toward a new American Century.
If we reform our tax code, reduce regulations, control spending, modernize our immigration laws and repeal and replace Obamacare, the American people will create millions of better-paying modern jobs.

If we create a 21st century system of higher education that provides working Americans the chance to acquire the skills they need, that no longer graduates students with mountains of debt and degrees that do not lead to jobs, and that graduates more students from high school ready to work, then our people will be prepared to seize their opportunities in the new economy.

If we remember that family – not government – is the most important institution in society, that all life deserves protection, and that all parents deserve to choose the education that’s right for their children, then we will have a strong people and a strong nation.

And if America accepts the mantle of global leadership, by abandoning this administration’s dangerous concessions to Iran, and its hostility to Israel; by reversing the hollowing out of our military; by giving our men and women in uniform the resources, care and gratitude they deserve; by no longer being passive in the face of Chinese and Russian aggression; and by ending the near total disregard for the erosion of democracy and human rights around the world; then our nation will be safer, the world more stable, and our people more prosperous.
This election is not just about what laws we will pass. It is a generational choice about what kind of country we will be.

The Democrats are promising to take us back to yesterday. But yesterday is over, and we are never going back. We Americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the future. Before us now is the opportunity to author the greatest chapter yet in the amazing story of America.

We can’t do that by going back to the leaders and ideas of the past. We must change the decisions we are making by changing the people who are making them.

That is why today, grounded by the lessons of our history, and inspired by the promise of our future, I announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America.

My candidacy might seem improbable to some watching from abroad. In many countries, the highest office in the land is reserved for the rich and powerful. But I live in an exceptional country where even the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same dreams and the same future as those who come from power and privilege.

I recognize the challenges of this campaign, and the demands of the office I seek. But in this endeavor as in all things, I find comfort in the ancient command to, “Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

I have heard some suggest that I should step aside and wait my turn. But I cannot. Because I believe our very identity as an exceptional nation is at stake, and I can make a difference as President.

I am humbled by the realization that America doesn't owe me anything; but I have a debt to America I must try to repay. This isn't just the country where I was born; America is the place that changed my family’s history.

I regret my father did not live to see this day in person. He used to tell me all the time: En este pais, ustedes van a poder lograr todas las cosas que nosotros no pudimos. “In this country, you will achieve all the things we never could.”

My father was grateful for the work he had, but that was not the life he wanted for his children. He wanted all the dreams he once had for himself to come true for us. He wanted all the doors that closed for him to be open for me. My father stood behind a small portable bar in the back of a room for all those years, so that tonight I could stand behind this podium in the front of this room.

That journey, from behind that bar to behind this podium, is the essence of the American Dream.
Whether or not we remain a special country will depend on whether that journey is still possible for those trying to make it now:

The single mother who works long hours for little pay so her children don’t have to struggle the way she has… The student who takes two buses before dawn to attend a better school halfway across town…The workers in our hotel kitchens, the landscaping crews in our neighborhoods, the late-night janitorial staff that clean our offices … and the bartenders who tonight are standing in the back of a room somewhere…

If their American Dreams become impossible, we will have become just another country. But if they succeed, the 21st Century will be another American Century. This will be the message of my campaign and the purpose of my presidency.

To succeed on this journey, I will need your prayers, your support, and ultimately, your vote. Tonight I am asking you to take that first step with me, by joining us at marcorubio.com.

The final verdict on our generation will be written by Americans not yet born. Let us make sure they record that we made the right choice. That in the early years of this century, faced with a rapidly changing and uncertain world, our generation rose to face the great challenges of our time.

And because we did, there was still one place in the world where who you come from does not determine how far you can go.

Because we did, the American miracle lived on.

And because we did, our children and theirs lived in a new American Century.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Turn Two: Monday, June 15

State of the Presidential Race:

Almost every pundit had assumed Hillary Clinton would be a shoo-in to the Democratic nomination, which makes it all the more shocking that she will likely not announce a campaign. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, despite technically not being a member of the Democratic Party, was the first to announce his campaign. Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, has had a reputation for being an outspoken progressive, and his base is expected to draw from both progressive and anti-establishment voters. Soon after, incumbent Vice President Joe Biden announced his campaign as well. Biden is thought of as more of a moderate candidate, and the establishment is expected to be split between him and Warren for the most part. Most recently, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has announced her campaign. A former advisor to President Obama, she became nationally famous after defeating incumbent Senator Scott Brown in 2012. Warren has a reputation as a progressive, although less liberal and more establishment-friendly than Sanders.

In the Republican primaries, Senators Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Florida) both announced their campaigns quickly, as pundits had predicted. Cruz mainly draws his voters from the Tea Party, while Rubio is more of an establishment candidate, although a rather conservative one. The third announcement, however, came out of left field even for most pundits. Ratt lead singer Stephen Pearcy, who had previously been uninvolved in politics for the most part, announced his candidacy, stating dissatisfaction with the current set of candidates. Although many pundits don't expect him to do well, his candidacy has won over voters who are against the Republican establishment and would prefer an outsider over a politician. In a slightly less surprising announcement, Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas, who had mostly been overlooked as a potential candidate, also announced his candidacy. Moran is in a position where he could potentially get supporters from both mainstream conservatives and the Tea Party, but his low name recognition could be an obstacle. The next candidate to enter the race was Rand Paul, who had been predicted to be a candidate for quite a while. Although not as libertarian as his father, Paul is quite libertarian even by Tea Party standards. It is unknown where his voters will come from ideologically at this point in time, although supporters of his father in 2012 may also support him. In another rather surprising development, Donald Trump, after multiple times teasing a run for the presidency only to refuse, finally entered the race. His politics, which have been called populist and anti-establishment, could get voters from a variety of right-wing ideologies. The most recent candidate to enter the race was Mitch Daniels, a former governor of Indiana. Daniels is the first candidate to enter the race who could be described as a moderate, which could potentially be a major benefit to him, but could also backfire.

Recent News:

On June 2, the Senate passed the USA Freedom Act, and President Obama subsequently signed it into law. The USA Freedom Act's purpose was mainly to replace the USA Patriot Act, which had expired the day before. Although some sections of the USA Patriot Act were toned down, there are still parts that remain intact.
The Turkish general election was held on June 7. President Recep Erdogan's party, the Justice and Development Party, lost 69 seats and their majority in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Given that no party has a majority, negotiations for a coalition government are in process.

PERCY CAMPAIGN TO BE GRASSROOTS
Brietbart.com

Republican Presidental candidate and Ratt Lead Singer Stephen Percy says that his campaign will be grassroots and will accept no donations from corporations or political donors

Percy in a interview stated

"I don't want any politican or corporation's money on my campaign for all I know it could be from some insider political donor or Goldman Sachs.

I want my campaign to be funded by actually people who actually have to work their tails off in their life and not be born with a golden spoon in their mouth.

Press Release from EMILY's list on behalf Elizabeth Warren

It's time to make history and elect the first female President of these United States. For this reason, we have decided to endorse Senator Warren at this time. She is a fighter for a women's right to choose, their political and labor rights, and against the rampant sexism in society, and she will continue this fight in the Oval Office.

PERCY RENO NEVADA TOWN HALL ON A LESS COURRPT GOVERMENT

()

If elected I will take down the corrupt nature of the administrations of Clinton,Bush and Obama.

I fully believe that they have abuse their powers of government and just love to push their war mongering agenda to people.  

You look at the Patriot act and the Freedom act that was just passed.

If you look at these things front and center it's pure Fascism!!

I have respect for the military don't get me wrong but I believe that even since the end of the Cold War the role of it has been used horribly. Iraq was a total disaster and we basically lied about WNDs for oil!!

Now Obama is pushing Syria and possibly arming people we don't know about. They could be ISIS for all we know!

*Crowd claps*

And despite all these withdrawals we are still in Afghanistan and Iraq! And I fear that anything that we will get involved in Syria.

In a Percy presidency war and military action will be a last resort if we can't deal things properly.

Our civil liberties have been under assault for fifteen years. I voted for the USA Freedom act because, while it is not perfect, it is an improvement over the unwarranted search and seizures for simply being "unpatriotic". But it needs improvement still. As President, I will seek to reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to make FISA court session records available via the Freedom of Information Act after one year. At the same time I will seek to increase funding to the people in this country that fight terror at home and abroad, like the FBI, to continue to keep this country safe.

I don't believe that our prohibition on online poker is particularly productive. It would be much more helpful to legalize it, and tax player's revenue. Banning it draws comparisons to Prohibition, in the 1920's, with the unenforceable Volstead act, compared with the unenforceable UGIEA, and it's attempts to regulate behavior. That is not something America should be in the business of, and it is something we will seek to correct.

Anderson, President Obama's drone strategy to disrupt ISIS operations is working slowly, but surely. We still need to be vigilant for ISIS inspired attacks on our soil, but we are winning the war ISIS in Iraq.

Our economy is a total mess folks. President Obama is out there despite in 2008 claiming he was against Wall Street is now bailing out and pardoning courpt Wall Street bankers.

Obama's tax cuts are really tax cuts for the super rich and a tax hike on the middle class

If I win we will go tough on Wall Street and give a affordable tax rate to the middle class!

*Claps are heard*

I am proposing a 10% tax on Wall Street and billion dollar corporation and a 20 tax cuts on the middle class get rid of the Captial gains and property tax and will get the IRS out of your life!

Summary: Sanders began his long-shot campaign by focusing in Iowa and New Hampshire, hoping for strong placings in both states. Sanders continued to hit his populist message on the campaign trail, appealing to voters with anti-establishment and progressive rhetoric. He also hit back hard at Warren's insinuations that he's a fringe candidate, calling her out for using the communist talking point that has been extensively used by the Republican Party against him.

Agriculture is Iowa's main economic activity. But in this time of economic stagnation, the American people, including farmers, are struggling to recover and to prosper. Many farmers lost their jobs and rising inflation raised the cost of buying agricultural products, which hurts agricultural businesses. We have to reverse this situation and I have a plan for it.

What we have to do to boost America's agriculture is to cut taxes on businesses, including tractor, seed and agriculture companies, in order to help them to innovate and to manufacture more tractors, seeds and agricultural products, to create jobs, to improve agricultural technologies, thus helping Iowans and Americans to accomplish their agricultural activities and ensure their subsistence.

Energy independence will also boost tractor manufacturing as well as the effectiveness of new agricultural technologies. My plan will reduce Iowans' and Americans' dependence on food stamps through reduction of inflation and food prices, which will reinforce their purchasing power and give them more access to food as well as better living conditions.

Abortion is never good. Everybody, whether or not they are yet eligible to vote, has the right to live. If we tolerate abortion, future generations are likely to look back at this history of our country and call us barbarians for murdering millions of babies who we never gave them a chance to live.

This is not only a social issue, it's also an economic issue. One of the main reasons why the Glorious Thirty (1945-1972) were so prosperous was the great number of young baby boomers who were available to find a job and work. Today, it's exactly the opposite : many baby boomers are going to retirement, which hurts our workforce and slows our GDP and our economy. So if we want longer term economic growth and prosperity, we need to fight abortion in order to let future generations live and make sure that our workforce will get stronger and stronger, making our economy growing again. That's what I'm going to do if I'm elected President of the United States.

-Marco Rubio's campaign broadcasts an advertisement about the Florida Senator's accomplishments and agenda. This ad is airing in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada :
()
Marco Rubio is a man of honor and integrity who devoted his life and energy to Florida and America, serving in the Florida House of Representatives and in the United States Senate. We need a person with great political experience and with a great accomplishment record. In the Senate, Marco Rubio has worked in the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation; Foreign Relations; Select Committee on Intelligence and Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committees.
()
In the Florida House of Representatives, he introduced a book called “100 Innovative Ideas For Florida’s Future” and 24 of those ideas became law.
()
In the Senate, Marco Rubio supported military intervention in Libya that contributed to Gaddafi's fall and to democratic transition in Libya in 2011. That same year, he cosponsored the AGREE Act, a bill that increased tax credits and exemptions for companies investing in R & D, equipment and other capital and gave tax credits for veterans opening a business franchise. In 2013, Marco Rubio co-sponsored the Regulation Costs to Small Businesses Act, which required the Small Business Administration to conduct an annual study to estimate the total cost of regulations on small businesses. He successfully co-sponsored the 2014 VA reform law by introducing a measure empowering the VA secretary to hold managers accountable for incompetence, negligence and corruption and to care more about veterans than bureaucrats because it's another way to reward our veterans for their military service and their sacrifices for America. He successfully pushed Venezuela human rights sanctions into law in order to condemn the tyrannical Venezuelan regime led by Nicolas Maduro and promote freedom in this country. Senator Rubio's Girls Count Act is now signed into law, U.S. foreign assistance on the establishment of birth registries to properly document childbirth and prevent kids' exploitation, trafficking or exclusion from society. Rubio's efforts in the Senate to defund Obamacare saved taxpayers $2.5 billion that would have otherwise bailed out health insurance companies under Obamacare. He authored legislation that became law which sanctions the terrorist group Hezbollah and, by extension, Iran for supporting terrorism, thus showing leadership when it comes to standing with America's allies, especially Israel.
()()
As President of the United States of America, Marco Rubio, a son of immigrants, will restore the American Dream.
()
He will repeal Obamacare to save Medicare.

() () ()
He will balance the budget, abolish regulations, cut government spending, cut taxes for all Americans and business owners to strengthen the American people's purchasing power and to make sure our businesses will increase their ability to innovate, hire and create jobs, improve our education system to create opportunities for every children, give us energy independence through oil production and drilling and then the promotion of the development of renewable energies a promote free trade to make our country competitive and grow our economy by innovating, finding new consumers around the world and reducing tariffs barriers.

()()
The Rubio administration will stand with our allies and against our enemies by increasing military spending in order to make sure that we will be able to defeat any threat. Under Marco Rubio's watch as President, we and our allies will form a great international military coalition and intervene in Syria and Iraq to eliminate ISIS. In order to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, President Rubio will restore sanctions against Iran and build a regional military alliance in order to increase pressure on Tehran and destroy any missile thrown against us and our allies. To put an end at the Russian aggression in the Eastern Europe, Marco Rubio will reinforce military presence in this region to ensure security and Ukraine, train and arm the Ukrainian army, vanquish the pro-Russian rebellion and free Ukraine from Russia's tyranny. President Rubio will ensure South China Sea's territorial integrity by reinforcing our navy's presence there, multiply military exercises in the region with our allies to make sure they will be ready and able to stop China's aggression and, if they have to, defeat the Chinese navy. He will show his courage to take action against North Korea by putting Pyongyang back on the list of states supporting terrorism and build a great and powerful intergovernmental military alliance organization with our allies around the Pacific to deter North Korea from making nuclear tests or attacks and attacking it's neighbors, to avoid any war with North Korea and to ensure peace, stability, security and freedom on the Pacific.

Choose a path to justice, integrity, fairness, freedom, national unity, economic prosperity, strength and security. Vote for Marco Rubio for the sake of a New American Century!

Jake Tapper : Good evening, Senator Rubio.

Marco Rubio : Thank you. This is a great honor, Jake.

Jake Tapper : Recently, the U.S. Senate adopted the USA Freedom Act, and President Obama subsequently signed it into law. The USA Freedom Act's purpose was mainly to replace the USA Patriot Act, which had expired the day before. Although some sections of the USA Patriot Act were toned down, there are still parts that remain intact. What's your advice on this matter?

Marco Rubio : That's a bad deal for America's national security since it imposes new limits on the bulk collection of telecommunication metadata on suspected terrorists, which deprives us of the necessary tools to fight terrorism. Without these tools, we risk suffering another terrorist attack after the recent attack in Garland, Texas, last month.

Jake Tapper : You know, Turkish President Recep Erdogan's party, the Justice and Development Party, lost 69 seats and their majority in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. President Erdogan is recently negotiating with the opposition to form a coalition government. How do you think he will manage to do so?

Marco Rubio : Well, even though Turkish political parties don't share the same views on social issues and economic issues, they have common goals such as fighting and defeating radical Islamic terrorism and stopping Russia's intrusion in Syria. In Turkey, the terrorist threat is stronger than ever before, so I believe Erdogan's minority government is an opportunity for the Turkish people to work together in order to face and overcome their challenges. And they are not alone, we are behind them.

Part of Stephen Percy's anti NAFTA speech in Des Monies Iowa


I am very disappointed to see that other candidates in this field want to countine and some even expand NAFTA. Well not me!!

People here have told me and this campaign  all around the state of Iowa which are and they have people who are farmers and who know farmers that they got their jobs and corn exports shipped off the Mexico!

Senator Rubio wants to get now TPP involved and I say to that NO!!

*Crowd cheers*

This trade agreements such has CAFTA,NAFTA and TPP favor big businesses over small people working their tail off to make a living and that is totally unfair!!

When I am President that is gonna change!!

STEVEN PERCY's response to Marco Rubio on social media

Dear Senator Rubio, NAFTA has resulted in jobs lost to Mexico and Canada which resulted 1,000+ people being laid off with our job.

If we pass the TPP all top manufacturering jobs will be lost to countries such as India,Japan and China

I am all for free trade however this free trade agreements are only good if you are a corporation and make millions of dollars a year.

I want people to trade however they want but those aggrements seem very restricted.

It if makes you sleep at night I will find out a way to negotiate with NAFTA sand make it at least tolerable.

I request a 24 hour extension.

Granted.

By the way, just letting you all know that from the next turn on, turns will last two weeks rather than one, so that we can hopefully get through the debates and primaries faster.

Donald Trump withdraws

CLIP From STEVEN PERCY ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH STEVEN COLBERT

Colbert:Alright now our very special guest is someone who you would never thought in a million years would run for president but ladies and gentleman Steven Percy!

*On drugs*

Colbert:One of the things I have curious to know is what is your view on well marijuana?

*Percy laughs*

Percy:Oh that is a totally important issue to me. I mean I don't do drugs anymore let alone weed since my daughter was born but I support it being legal 100%. There are worse out there trust me *Laughs*

It's crazy how many people are going to jail over peacefully smoking a plant I mean come on folks there were worst things back in my heyday!

Colbert:What I want to know is what do you think when people see you put in your book Sex,Drugs, Ratt n Roll  what do you say when they say that is not presidentalZ

Percy:I tell them that was in the past and I am clean and 100% sober and even since my daughter was born I haven't done that stuff and I said that before and I will say that again.


Colbert:

Update coming shortly

Just wondering, when I speak Spanish in some parts of my speeches, should I put English subtitles or do you understand Spanish well?

I understand it well enough.

Sorry I was unable to update recently, the update will happen tonight.

What time?

First off, I'd just like to thank you all for bearing with me throughout this entire time. I never expected the game to have so much participation, and I'm glad to see it from almost all of you.

Turn Three: Monday, June 22-Sunday, July 5

State of the Presidential Race:

One of the more surprising events of the 2016 race occurred early on. Donald Trump, who many had predicted as a darkhorse candidate with potential to win, dropped out surprisingly early just as he had in the past. The impact was felt both immediately and soon after. One of the biggest impacts was felt on his 11% of supporters nationally. The majority went to Pearcy, a very similar candidate in a number of ways, but they mostly went in all directions.

Recent News:

21-year old Dylann Roof has confessed to a shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina that resulted in the deaths of nine people, including State Senator Clementa Pinckney. Roof has stated that his intentions were based in racism.
The US House of Representatives has passed the Trade Promotion Authority bill by only 10 votes. It gives President Obama the ability to 'fast track' the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.

STEVEN PERCY ON WALL STREET REFORM IN MANCHESTER NEW HAMPSHIRE

()

If you are looking for a Republican  who will be tough on Wall Street and start a new Glass Stegall act then you are looking at one!!

*Crowd cheers*

Senator Cruz unfortunately who has a lot of libertarian views it seems like me doesn't want to go tough on Wall Street!


Senator Cruz is another politican nothing more nothing less.

Most of my competition are getting money from this greedy Wall Street bankers. Even some of them got money from banks that caused the economic crisis of 2008 which wasn't started by Free Market Captialism president Obama thinks. It was started by the same crony Captialism that has domainted DC throughout recently memory!

That's one thing I will give Senator Sanders for. Yes he has views too far left for me! But I can respect that HE WANTS to go at Wall Street and give them justice!

*Crows claps*

Like I said once what goes around comes around *laughter erputs*

But seriously I am fighting for Free Market Captialism, I am fighting not for million and billionaires I am fighting for you, The American people!!

@ThisisStephenPercy

What happen in South Carolina was terrible and was a attack on a great historical monument of Black History of the United States.

HOWEVER Democrats like Senator Warren and Vice President Biden are using the shooter Dylan Roof as a means to push gun control.
Typical heartless move by politicians.  The gun didn't do it he did it

I'm asking for a 24 hour extension for this turn, please.

STEPHEN PERCY CAMPAIGN AD ALL OVER IOWA ABOUT FREE TRADE

*A female voice appears*
We have been told about how great free trade agreements our like NAFTA and TPP

But reality shows other wise

()

Before NAFTA the US was number 1 in producing in corn and wheat products. But since NAFTA all that glory goes to Mexico and the US is now number 2 on the world's leading corn producer list.

A local daughter of a farmer Griselda Mendoza has said to the Percy campaign in a letter

"Before NAFTA, everybody here grew corn. People didn't make much money, but nobody went hungry," says Mendoza, 23, sharing common lore from her region. She was born just after NAFTA was signed.
As cheap American corn came pouring in from the border, it had a devastating effect on her family. Her father, Benancio Mendoza, couldn't compete and make a living wage selling corn. He had to give up and move to the United States looking for a job. He took up a job as a cook in Tennessee, saving up money to send home so his kids could attend school.
"He went north looking for a job and I didn't see him again for 18 years," says Mendoza, who now works as a secretary for the local government.
While NAFTA did boost Mexico's manufacturing industry, it gutted many farming towns -- especially mom and pop corn farmers like Benancio's.

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz want to keep NAFTA going and possibly TPP into this situations

So does Vice President Joe Biden who said that he would without a doubt pass TPP

So doesn't want this to happen?

*Picture of Steven Percy campaging in a rally*

Stephen Percy!

Percy will withdraw from NAFTA and TPP and make the great state of Iowa blooming again in wheat products.

I'm Stephen Percy and I approve this message.

Stephen Pearcy is a great singer, and he's providing a new voice for voters who previously hadn't had one. I'm glad he's running for President. But Mr. Pearcy needs to learn that there are certain standards when it comes to campaigning. Lying is wrong. And he did lie. Last week, in an ad he released, he distorted my record saying that I would "without a doubt pass the TPP." Here is the transcript of that ad:
Well, Mr. Pearcy needs to read my platform. I am in favor of withdrawing or renegotiating the TPP in order to halt outsourcing, and I support the same for NAFTA. Mr. Pearcy, you say all politicians do is lie. Well, don't become what you hate.

In 2008, we were hit hard by the Great Recession. Thousands of us lost our jobs as factory floors fell silent. Poverty began to overtake the Granite State.
()
When all seemed dark, our state helped elect a team of two who worked to fix the economy.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden shaped an economic policy that helped raise unemployment. They put this state back to work and New Hampshire's economy is nearly back to normal.

Joe Biden promises to continue this trend. As President, he'll rejuvenate America's industry. He's done it before, and he'll do it again.
()

Joe Biden has talked to us. he knows our problems. And he's also the only candidate so far to release an extensive plan to fix the opioid crisis.

Joe Biden will fight for us in New Hampshire. He'll fight for America.

Campaign Ad for Iowa

Iowa is a great state. Part of the breadbasket. But Iowa also faces a dark side. Poverty is on the rise, and the opioid epidemic extends here.
()

Well, Joe Biden is here to stop that. His economic plan has balanced trade and industrial rejuvenation.

Vote for Joe Biden, because he'll stand up for the values that matter most.


Campaign Ad for Nevada

Nevada is a unique, diverse, wonderful, state. But we Nevadans face some serious problems.
()

First and foremost is the domestic violence issue here. Nevada's murder rate is very high. So is the per capita rate of homelessness.

Well, Joe Biden understands these issues. He'll work as President to remove illegal weapons from the streets and push for rehabilitation of criminals, to make sure recidivism cannot occur.

He'll also modernize the HUD so all of those homeless in Nevada can finally get a home.
()

Joe Biden understands these issues, and he understands you. He'll fight for them and fight for you, no matter the cost.

I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message.

Less than a week ago, just a few miles from here a horrible tragedy occurred. Dylann Roof, motivated by unreasoning hate, killed nine people in cold blood. Many are calling out for the blood of Mr. Roof. however I do not believe that is appropriate. I believe we are a better people than to seek vengeance for other people's actions. I believe justice is not execution, but life in prison without the possibility of parole, in the highest security prison.

Vice-President Biden has called for the Confederate Flag to be taken down in South Carolina. South Carolina is not the only state that flies the flag. Mississippi does as well, and I call on Governor Bryant and the Legislature there to pass legislation to change the flag to something that represent all of that state's citizens.

If Senator Paul has been living under rock for his whole life, but we know better! President Kennedy and President Johnson passed the Civil Rights act of 1964, President Truman desegregated our armed forces, and President Obama, a prominent Democrat was our first African-American President and was re-elected. The Democrats supports Affirmatives Action and civil rights measures, Republicans oppose them. Simply put, Senator Paul's claim that Republicans have nothing to lose by voting Republican are just not true!

Senator, you're under fire for calling another candidate a communist. Care to explain that?
Well, Chuck, I don't believe Senator Sanders is a Communist. If look at his voting record, his political positions, his public statements you would realize that isn't true. But what you and I see, isn't what voters in states like Iowa and Ohio see, and that is why I fear that Sanders is the nominee Democrats will lose record numbers of seats in the House, and lose more ground in the Senate as states like Washington, Connecticut and Oregon become vulnerable. We could also lose the Governor's races in Washington, Oregon and Delaware if Sanders becomes the nominee.

I don't oppose all trade deals, and in fact NAFTA has been a net positive for our country, and I support it. However TPP is unlike NAFTA, in that it was unduly influenced by corporate influences in this country, makes no consideration for the way of life, and laws in other countries, such as Japan's Manga industry. So I have to oppose it. But to oppose all trade deals, as Stephen Pearcy and Bernie Sanders want to do, is foolish, reckless and dangerous, because trade is vital for any countries survival. To renegotiate a trade deal that has been working fine for twenty-one years, as Vice-President Biden wants to do, is a betrayal of our allies in Canada and Mexico. Instead of withdrawing from or renegotiating NAFTA, I am in favor of heavily fining U.S companies who outsource jobs to other countries, and closing corporate tax loopholes, so corporations cannot hide money from the government any longer.

STEPHEN PERCY's RESPONCE TO WARREN's comments on his character

Earlier today Senator Warren said in a rally this
"Stephen Pearcy's comments in his book make it clear he is unqualified to serve as dogcatcher, let alone occupy the Oval Office! The fact that he is the leader of the Republican Primary here in New Hampshire, and is second Nationally, shows just how far they have fallen since the days of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and even Ronald Reagan"

Well madam senator most of the stuff in that book was from when I was young dumb and I didn't know any better.  I  eventually kick the habit of drugs got married, became Jewish and had a daughter who I care for very much named Jewel.

My point is don't judge people for what they did in the past.  Warren didn't have a father who overdosed when she was 12.

I can tell you right now President Kennedy even though he was a great leader and his life was cut short had a drug problem and was a total womanizer and cheated on his wife with Marylin Monroe.

So Senator Warren think before you speak.

-Flight to Charleston, South Carolina
-Speech in front of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, in reaction to the shooting that recently happened there :
()
What happened here in Charleston is a terrible tragedy. In the last 8 years, African-Americans' living conditions have not improved. Racism is still alive today and the violent deaths of African-Americans, including in Ferguson (2014) and in Charleston, where 9 African Americans were killed demonstrated it. If you are white in America, you cannot fully understand what it means to be black in America. The racial tensions got worse than they were 8 years ago and the economic sluggish we are actually living has deepen racial inequalities. We need a reformed criminal code, which criminal regulations and laws are easier to understand, a reform of civil forfeiture by which people suspected of crimes will be deprived of private property.

Since the beginning of its existence, the Republican Party has been an inclusive party and will keep this status. That's why Abraham Lincoln has freed African-Americans from slavery and that's why I appreciate Governor Haley's cause to remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State House, because we will never tolerate discrimination because the American people must stay united and stand with an optimistic agenda like mine that will create jobs and opportunity in order to restore the American Dream.

-Foreign policy speech at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, Charleston, SC
In the U.S. Senate, I'm chairing the Committee on Foreign Relations, I know how diplomacy works. As President, I will use my diplomatic experience to strengthen our relations with our allies and create new alliances. I cited the example of a military collaboration similar to NATO between the powers of the Pacific to prevent any Chinese aggression or any North Korean nuclear attack against its neighbours. I also cited the example of a military collaboration between our country, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan to fight Islamic terrorism and prevent any nuclear attack by Iran. Such alliances can work because all these countries have common goals like fighting Islamic terrorism, stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons or prevent a geopolitical crisis in the Pacific. With our military power and with the collaboration of our allies, we will manage to defeat our enemies and that's why I will promote strength through unity as commander-in-chief. Like we always say since America's birth : « United We Stand ».

I supported sanctions on Hezbollah, which made this terrorist organization less capable of threatening Israel by supporting Palestinian extremists, of helping militarily the Assad regime in Syria and of helping Iran in getting nuclear weapon. Just like Iran, Hezbollah is threatening freedom of religion by threatening Israel, a Jewish nation. With Mossad's collaboration, we'll be able to discover any conspiracy fomented by Hezbollah against us and our allies, making our foes in the Middle East weaker and making this region safer than it was ever before.

In the last eight years, the world has grown more dangerous while our military suffered disastrous defense cuts. The threats to our nation and international security and peace like ISIS, Al Qaida, Iran, Russia, Syria, China and North Korea have continued to multiply. With a military built for the 20th century rather than the 21st, how can we expect a strong national security? As Commander-in-chief, I will restore American strength by giving our troops the training and equipment to combat successfully the threats they will face, by increasing defense spending to ensure our armed forces' readiness and to modernize our military. I will extend the size of the Marine to 182 000 men and the size of the Army to 490 000 to reverse the cuts in military spending and allow us to send more troops in Europe to stop the Russian agression.

I will recapitalize our Navy and increase the size of our fleet to at least 323 ships by 2024, reversing cuts that have slashed our fleet to its smallest size since World War I. Because a major part of this effort must be to ensure a large and modern U.S. submarine fleet, I will order at least two Virginia-class submarines to be built each year.

South Carolina has an important role to play in this process. The Navy’s Nuclear Power School, located just outside of Charleston, helps train the next generation of officers and enlisted sailors to operate many of the vanguard ships in our fleet. In all, defense spending accounted for more than six billion dollars in economic activity in South Carolina in 2014. That’s $1,262 per resident. A strong defense industrial base is necessary to our national security and our local economies as well, and that is why I will oppose more rounds of base realignment and closure, which endangers vital military installations in the Palmetto State and across the country.

To make sure that the 21st Century will be an American century, we need a strong American military, an element of our security and prosperity. And that's why I am running for president. For a long time, South Carolina has made a vital contribution to our defense and when I am Commander-in-chief it will continue to help ensure that Americans are safe and free. Thank you, God bless our men and women and uniform, God bless our veterans and God bless America.

South Carolina is one of the most prosperous states in our country. Industrial production is South Carolina's most vital economic activity, particularly the automotive industry. The Palmetto State is among the states with the lowest tax rates on businesses, the most competitive wages for workers and the weakest unionization in America, which classified South Carolina among the states creating the most favourable environment for businesses in the United States, which helped this right-to-work state to attract some large companies like BMW and brought positive effects on South Carolina's economy. During the recession in the late 2000s, South Carolina's unemployment rate peaked at 12 % at the end of 2009. But as the 21st century progressed, including during the time Nikki Haley was Governor of South Carolina, the Palmetto State managed to attract new companies by reducing corporate income tax rate to 5 %, by abolishing state property tax, local income tax, inventory tax, sales tax on manufacturing equipment, wholesale tax and unitary tax on worldwide profits and by having industrial power or materials for finished products, which boosted job creation and innovation in South Carolina. As Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, a great job creator in the private sector (she worked in her mother's clothing business, Exotica International, was named to the board of directors of the Orangeburg County Chamber of Commerce and of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce, became treasurer of the National Association of Women Business Owners before becoming president of the South Carolina Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners) and in political life as well, cut taxes, opposed regulations and successfully invited business to move to South Carolina by considerably lowering the cost of doing business in the Palmetto State, which created over 80 000 new jobs in South Carolina during the eight years of Haley's leadership as Governor and reduced the local unemployment rate from 12 % in 2009 to 5 %.

We need to embrace energy independence to make us able to produce our own energies and free trade to make us competitive in the world economy, reform our education system, balance the budget, and champion business. If Governor Haley's economic policies worked in South Carolina, it can work for ALL the country as well. So if I'm the next President of the United States, one of the elements of my economic agenda will be to cut taxes for all the American people and for business owners, to eliminate regulations and to lower the cost of doing business in the United States, which will attract companies to move to the United States. It will also help our future entrepreneurs to open new businesses in America, to innovate, to create jobs and to ensure America's prosperity.

Thank you God bless our entrepreneurs, God bless our workers and God bless America.

-Education policy speech at Southern New Hampshire University in Hooksett, NH :
()

We are a nation of immigrants and diversity is a good reputation for America. We need to make sure they can be integrated while our borders are secured. I was raised paycheck to paycheck and many immigrant families are living paycheck to paycheck so their kids don't have the same chance as other families to have the skills to succeed in America's schools.

The America my parents came to 59 years ago was one where you could find a middle income job even without a higher education. That is how they succeeded to the middle class, working as a bartender and a maid. But they desperately wanted their children to have even more than that. Giving us the chance at a better life was their American Dream. My parents did not make enough to save for our education. But I managed to use Pell grants, student loans, work study and summer jobs to pay for a four-year degree and eventually law school.

Not all college majors have the same success rate in terms of students' connection with good jobs. At the national level, majors like business, liberal arts, and hospitality have underemployment rates at 50 percent if not more. There are more graduates than jobs in these sectors. Meanwhile, engineering, health services and education all have underemployment rates under 25 percent. It's imperative that we reverse this tendency.

We need to promote school choice, which will cost families, including these immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, less and produce higher outcomes compared to public education. It will grant parents the power to orientate their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and look for better education elsewhere. It will expand opportunities for low-income students—especially minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to higher-income families, thus increasing their chances of success and of entry into the workforce.

China & India graduate more science & engineering PhDs, which is boosting their innovation knowledge faster than ours, boosting their industries and helping them creating much more new businesses and jobs than we do. So we need to increase education investing to make it easier to create the jobs of tomorrow and help students studying in business administration or in engineering to create, open and develop new businesses that will create more jobs thanks to increased knowledge. New Hampshire can be proud of one of its remarkable families : the Sununu family, a great and honorable family of innovators that is prominent in the fields of business and politics represents a great example of job creation and prosperity through knowledge. Let's give all the American people this chance.

That's how we will create the good-paying jobs of tomorrow and strengthen America's reputation as the land of opportunity.

That's what we can call the knowledge economy. We must put our children's needs first, ahead of the teacher unions' interests. School choice will give a chance for all Americans to accomplish the American Dream. By investing in education, we will create more companies and remain the number one country in the world in terms of job creation.

Thank you! Que Dios bendiga los Estados Unidos de América!

-Speech in reaction to Elizabeth Warren's comments on Rand Paul's claims that African Americans have nothing to lose in voting for Republicans :
()
The Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, are trying to politicize the Charleston shooting in an effort to win votes. This is just outrageous. And Senator Warren gave all the credits of the improvement of the African Americans's living conditions to the Democrats. Not even under Barack Obama it improved. As my colleague Senator Rand Paul said, the Democrats used to be the party of racism. But they also used to be the party of slavery while the Republican Party led by President Abraham Lincoln was fighting for ending slavery. And you know what the Democrats did? They opposed it until the end of the Civil War. And today, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, a Republican, has launched her crusade to remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State House. We are the party of all Americans, including African Americans.

Like we all agree with, economic growth requires energy independence and innovation. We must use all our energies, oil, gas, nuclear, wind, solar energy and electrical energy. The Energy Information Administration reported that New Hampshire's energy consumption and per capita energy consumption are among the lowest in the country. We need to increase it if we want to create new jobs. New Hampshire represents a perfect example of this desire to develop the electric industry since the Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant is the largest nuclear reactor in New England and provides about 30 % of New Hampshire's electricity. I have a plan to boost our electric industry as well as our nuclear industry. I support an expansion of the Northern Pass to create new American jobs and develop new electric technologies that will help us creating more jobs. I will also, as President of the United States, woo French private investors with electric industry skills during the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland) in order to help our electric and nuclear industries growing thanks to nuclear technologies adopted by France, one of our greatest partners and one of the greatest nuclear producers in the world. That way, not only new American jobs will be created, but more Americans will have access to electricity.

Among the candidates in the Republican field, I am the only one who is proposing conservative solutions to the problems facing our nation.

The right way to boost our manufacturing industry is not to rip our free trade deals. If we want to revive and boost our manufacturing industry, we have to cut taxes and regulations on manufacturing industry and manufacturing businesses. We need to abolish the sales taxes on manufacturing equipment. That way, we're going to make sure that we keep American manufacturing jobs here in America and that we make our manufacturing industry dynamic again and much more able to be competitive, to produce, to manufacture, to sell and to create good-paying manufacturing jobs.

America's prosperity comes from the ingenuity and entrepreneurship and hard work of the American people. So we need to put the government aside and cut taxes for all the American people, for business owners and for our manufacturing industry. That's how America will reclaim it's economic strength and prosperity for all the American people.

Thank you. God bless you, God bless our manufacturing workers and God bless the United States of America.

Fighting terrorism is necessary not only to ensure international security and to save innocent lives but also to defend freedom of religion. In the Middle East, ISIS is persecuting Christians and Muslims who are not sharing their views and even beheaded many of them.

It's in violation of freedom of religion, an important wall defending justice, freedom, democracy as well as gender equity and an important element of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. If we take military action in the Middle East, we will not only destroy terrorism and reinforce security as well as innocent lives but also save Middle East Christians from persecution, which will save freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble and the right to petition.

-Rally at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Cedar Rapids, IA, alongside Iowa Senator Joni Ernst who officially announces her endorsement to Marco Rubio :

I endorse Marco Rubio because he is the candidate who has the best experience to ensure international security by making our alliances stronger, reinforcing our military, fighting and defeating radical Islamic terrorism, making sure that Iran won't get nuclear weapons and stopping Russia's and China's imperialist policies. He demonstrated compassion for American military veterans like me by successfully introducing a bill that would make irresponsible bureaucrats accountable of not taking care enough of our veterans. These veterans deserve a bright post-military service life just like all the American people deserves better than Barack Obama's record of deception, insecurity and division. I also endorse Senator Rubio because he's a faithful constitutional conservative who defends all the values that make America great : the right to life, to self-defence and to express. And finally, I endorse Senator Rubio because he is the only one who can beat the Democratic nominee and lead us to victory on November 8 2016.

Iran wants Israel's death, which means a genocide against Judaism.

That's why we need more sanctions against Tehran to make sure Iran won't get the necessary capitals to develop it's nuclear program. That's why we have to reinforce our defense relations with our local allies by creating an intergovernmental military alliance that I call the « South-Western Asia Defense Alliance » (that would include America, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Jordan, Israel, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India) not only to fight jihadism in the Middle East but also to increase pressure on Iran and prevent it from pursuing its nuclear program.

My fellow Americans, almost 240 years ago, our Founding Fathers successfully fought tyranny, declared the independence of a new country named the United States of America and we obtained it through engagement patriotism. During all the 244 years of America's existence, until today, we always fought for our freedom diplomatically, militarily, economically and socially and we always managed to overcome our challenges through conviction and audacity like we will always do. When my parents came here, in Miami, as immigrants, they learned about the opportunities that the American Dream is offering for every single American through hard-working and these opportunities gave their children, including me, a better life, which helped them to make their way in the American society. We need to restore that dream through job creation, free market promotion, immigration reform, education reform and fight against poverty, thus resulting to economic prosperity that will bring the American people together and make the United States of America a united country again.

Thank you and happy Independence Day my friends, God bless you and God bless the United States of America!

President Obama in 2008 had several anti Semitic people like Jeremiah Wright on his campaign.  And I feel has turned back the clock on the relations of the US and Israel 20 years back!

If I am president I will listen and be the best friend of America to Israel they can ever have! And yes maybe try to find a way to peacefully end the conflict between them and Palestine.

STEVEN PERCY CAMPAIGNS IN CHARLESTON SPUTH CAROLINA

*They cheer loudly*

If there is one thing I can agree with Senator Rubio is on Govenor Nikki Haley's economic history! On how she has changed the state's tax laws and made it fairer
*They cheer*

And that's what I wanna do!! When we get into the White House we will abolish the IRS! *Cheers are heard* give the middle class a flat tax cut! Give small business owners a 25% flat tax cut! *More people cheer*  Abolish the Captial gains tax and the property one! The economy will boom and we will make America great again!!!

Ronald Reagan once said government is not the  solution IRS the problem and that we the people are in the driving seat telling us what the government to do. Be the referee and make sure that people don't do anything stupid.

Summary:  Sanders continued his campaign, investing heavily in Iowa and New Hampshire, where he believes he has a vague chance of winning. His grassroots campaign continues to rake in money, as a single 24 hour period saw $13 million raised with an average of just $30. Sanders also welcomed the endorsements of two key players in Vermont politics, Governor Shumlin and Senator Leahy, both long-time colleagues of Sanders. The endorsement of Congressman Conyers was a welcome surprise, as Sanders was hoping to get backing from Midwestern progressives, and Conyers' standing as the longest-serving member of the House and as a result, his position as Dean of the House may help with establishment voters.

Mr Percey says he respects the decision of the Supreme Court's rulling and that he will fight for the rights of LGBT Americans.

He says stated that the people of LGBT community should have the same rights of blacks,whites,Christians Jews,Muslims and non religious people. And that they should not be rejected for who they are and that he is the only candidate in this race that has always been for gay rights.

ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HES THE FRONTRUNNER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE and is also second in general polling please give it up for Stephen Percey!

*Percey comes out to Round and Round by Ratt*

*Key moments of the Conan interview*

Conan:One thing I wanna ask you is I know you sent a response already but what do you feel about Warren calling you unqualified?

Percy:Well if she hopes it hurt my feelings well sorry to disappoint it didn't *laughs* And by the way I didn't put this in the response because I wanted to be serious I dont wanna be a dogcatcher I wanna be a RATTcatcher! *Laughs erupt* Wow you actually laughed at that? I thought it was a crappy dad joke that my daughter has to suffer through *laughs*

Conan:Well I feel you and my kids have to suffer through my corny Dad jokes so we are even on that *they both laugh*

Conan:If there is one candidate you wanna face in the General if you get the nomination who will it be?

Conan:Well I gotta say it would of been Hillary Clinton but unfortunately in a way it's  fortunate for me, I feel like she would be like is basically continuing Obama's presidency for a third term and basically the whole I'm a woman vote for me! sh**tck and while I actually have a plan for America which is bring back the free market values that the country was founded on *Some people cheers in the audience*

But to answer your question. Vice President Joe Biden because it feels like all these presidents I admire beated a President or Vice President in their election.  John F Kennedy,Ronald Reagan,Thomas Jefferson,Andrew Jackson I feel like yes he was despite being  controversial he was a good president. He went after the big banks and clean up the mess from John Quincy Adams's presidency.

And Grover Cleveland who I think is a underrated President he favored free market values and was against the war mongering imperialists yes there were Dick Cheney like people around that time *laughs*

And the fact that he lost relection then came back and won next election around is a total epic tale of sweet revenge.  Revenge was sweet for Mr Cleveland.

Speech in Claremont, New Hampshire (With Maggie Hassan)

Just one week ago, the Supreme Court made Same-Sex Marriage the law of the land. However the fight is not over. Already, Ideologues like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jerry Moran and Paul Ryan are pushing a constitutional amendment to ban the gay and lesbian couples from marrying, and to legalize discrimination against gay and lesbian individuals. We cannot let this happen, and under a Warren administration, and with a Democratic Congress it will not happen.

Meet Voters in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire (With Maggie Hassan and Carol Shea-Porter)

Speech at Alumni Field, Keene, New Hampshire (With Maggie Hassan and Ed Markey)
The recent attack in Tunisia are reminder that acts of terror can happen anywhere, anytime. As President, I will push for a funding increase for organizations like the FBI, that fight this threat. I will encourage our allies to share intelligence with us, and share what we have gleaned with them. But fighting terrorism also comes down to you, the civilian. If you see someone behaving oddly, or find threatening messages of a terroristic nature on Facebook, Twitter, or other Social Media websites, do not hesitate to report it to the FBI, or your local police department. Your constant vigilance is crucial for stopping terrorism here at home, and abroad.

One day we could be just like the situation Greece now finds itself in, all because of the millions of people who don't pay their taxes and get away with it because of the lack of budget-only eleven billion dollars this year, and weak laws that encourage tax cheats. As President I will push for an increase in the IRS's budget, and work to pass tougher laws that penalize tax cheats more severely.

Senator, do you believe the order of the four early states is fine as is, or should it be changed?
Well, I think the first four states... Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina should rotate who goes in what order... for example in 2020 we have this order again, then in 2024, New Hampshire goes first, followed by Nevada, then South Carolina and then Iowa, and so on and so forth, until Iowa goes first again in 2036. However the state parties would never agree to something like that...so in light of that detail, yes the order of primaries works as is, though is room for improvement.

People stop and ask me, how did the Great Recession happen? I tell them that the banks got too big for their own good, that they took too many risks with the money they were entrusted with. As President I will push to break up all major American banks into smaller pieces, and support legislation mandating jail time for bank executives who take unnecessary risks with customers money. 

Speech in Sparks, Nevada (With Julian Castro)
()
I find shameful that so many in the other party want to not stop illegal immigration, which is understandable, but restrict and even outright ban legal immigration. As a nation we need immigration to survive. These people seem to forget that their ancestors came here as immigrants from Europe, and if they had their way, those ancestors wouldn't be allowed in our country!

I admire Senator Rubio's efforts to pass legislation to keep terrorists from gaining guns. However, it is watered down and weak, and even if it did pass the Senate, it is unlikely it would ever pass a Republican dominated House where nine-five percent of the members in the thrall of the National Rifle Association. If were present, I admit, I would have thought long and hard about it... but it just isn't enough to convince me.

Senator, the NFL has been grappling with a domestic violence problem for a while. Does this surprise you, and is there anything the league can do about it?
Well, when you're repeatedly tackling people at high speed it's no wonder your actions get fuzzy. Congress needs to consider whether the sport itself, should be investigated a cause of these incidents because of all the brain trauma, and if not Commissioner Goodell needs to start thinking about longer suspensions...

The Sanders campaign recently sent me an email suggesting I lay off the negative campaigning. Well, I'd like to point out to him that every winning campaign since Reagan has gone negative against someone. H.W Bush savaged Dukakis (and he won't let me forget it), Clinton hit H.W Bush and Perot in 1992, and Gingrich in 1996, Dubya, torched John McCain to win the nomination in 2000, and John Kerry in 2004 to win the general election. (and he still has scars from his swift-boating). Even President Obama's two wins weren't all sunny, hope and change. He had to attack Hillary Clinton to defeat her, and he had to attack John McCain to him, and if he hadn't made Mitt Romney radioactive in 2012, we might be running against a President Romney right now. So, Senator, it is required to attack to win campaigns, and I won't shy away from it, just because my rivals get skittish.

()
ISIS striked again, but this time in Tunisia. Once again, the Obama administration showed naivety when it comes to radical Islamic terrorism. A terrorist attack can happen everywhere in the world, even in the United States like it recently happened in Garland, Texas. The last 8 years saw massive cuts in defense spending, which weakened our military and our allies' security and decreased our allies' trust toward us. We absolutely need to rebuild our military and increase military spending. That way, we will have the necessary tools and arsenal to defeat radical Islamic terrorism. We can't afford to let the Mediterranean Sea become a terrorist lake. Terrorists' turf's proximity to Europe gives the terrorists an advantage : they will be using Africa as a springboard to commit attacks in Europe. But our European allies' proximity to North Africa can be an advantage to us as well : we need to build a great and powerful military coalition with our NATO allies and our Middle Eastern allies to strike back and to combat and destroy radical Islamic terrorism in Africa and in the Middle East trough military engagement, thus removing the terrorist threat in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

To eradicate terrorism on the African continent, I also propose to put in place a military intelligence agency that will orchestrate an antiterrorist crusade on this continent through military or intelligence operations and that will use drones in order to find the location of terrorist lesders, which will help us to capture or kill them. We also need to bring military training to the armed forces of the African countries in throes of jihadism to make sure these courageous soldiers will be ready and able to accomplish and ensuring these countries' security and to combat terrorism with American techniques that helped us to find and kill Osama Bin Laden. That's how we're going to defeat ISIS, Boko Haram, the Shebaab, etc. And reinforce security in Africa.

As President of the United States, Marco Rubio will reverse Barack Obama's record of economic sluggish, extreme taxations and regulations, energy dependence and growing poverty. President Rubio will cut taxes and abolish these devastating regulations for all the American people as well as for our business owners in order to increase our fellow Americans' purchasing power, stop our companies offshoring and help them to innovate, produce, expand and hire. He will reduce the cost of doing business in the United States, which will attract companies in America and incite our future business owners to do business in here in America, thus ensuring massive job creation just like what happened in South Carolina during my 6 years as Governor of the Palmetto State. Under Rubio's presidency, energy independence through increased oil production due to the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, oil drilling in ANWR and the construction of the TransAmerica Energy pipeline from Pennsylvania to California, will help us creating jobs, boosting our automobile industry and getting revenues from oil drilling, which a part will be invested into the development of renewable energies to create more industries specialized in this domain and, to create jobs and protect the environment. Free trade will boost job creation by reducing tariffs, making our companies more competitive, promoting innovation, getting us new consumers around the world and opening new markets. By reforming our education system, Marco will make education accessible for all Americans and help our future workers to find a good-paying job. After balancing the budget, a part of budget surpluses will b used to develop infrastructures to facilitate our economic activities and ensure the implementation of new businesses here in the United States. Unlike Barack Obama's big government, energy dependence and protectionist agenda, Marco Rubio's economic agenda will bring permanent prosperity back to America, keep the American Dream alive and allow our country to keep its status as the land of opportunity. South Carolina has the historic reputation of making Republican nominees and presidents so let's elect Marco Rubio to make him our nominee and to make him the next President of the United States of America!

-Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts an attack ad against Senator Jerry Brown for his vote in opposition to the East Asia Security Act of 2005 that would have deterred arms transfers to China. The ad titled "If we didn't act?" airs in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

"If we didn't act" ad narration :
()
Since the last 2 decades, China is considerably reinforcing its military and is about to become competitive with our military. China is led by a communist and oppressive government that doesn't respect human rights and doesn't believe in free enterprise. This nation is threatening its neighbours for economic, patriotic and territorial purposes, thus violating South China Sea's territorial integrity in addition of threatening to declare war against Taiwan if this island declares its independence from China.
()
()
()
We have to take action to avoid any war against China. But in 2005, Jerry Moran, who was Congressman at that time, made the wrong choice on this matter. Jerry Moran voted against the East Asia Security Act of 2005 that would have deterred foreign arms transfers to China, and this bill died in the House of Representatives. If America decided not to deter arms transfers to Beijing, then China would have won, would already had the most powerful military in the world and would have already imposed its dominance on South China Sea and on the Pacific.
()
But fortunately, Senator Marco Rubio has a better record and leadership on facing China's military power. He will reinforce regulations on U.S. nuclear exports to China and hold Beijing accountable for any violations of the U.S.-China nuclear cooperation agreement, which will restrict foreign arms transfers to China and weaken the potential that China would surpass us as the first worldwide military power and threat its neighbours militarily. As President of the United States, Marco Rubio will pursue this kind of leadership and keep facing China's raising military power by reinforcing our military presence on the Pacific and by creating the Pacific Treaty Organization (PTO), an intergovernmental military organization that will include America and all its allies around the Pacific in order to ensure security, freedom and peace on the Pacific.

()

If you want a commander in chief who will fight for you, for America's allies and for international security, Marco Rubio is the right choice.

I'm Marco Rubio and I approve this message.

STEVEN PERCEY ON SOCIAL MEDIA

ISIS attacks again this time in Tunisia. My sorrow goes out to the country as they fall victim to Islamic fascism.  

However President Obama and his cronies keep funding Syrian rebels who we know nothing about and could be for ISIS for all we know.  As president we will keep on eye on who we are fighting and who we are funding.

Jerry Moran response to Rubio ad:


()

The Following ad airs in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina

()
The banks have become too large, too unwieldy, and too focused on themselves at the expense of the customer. Only one candidate has the skills to pass a bill through Congress, and the credentials to propose legislation that will break up the largest banks. That candidate is Elizabeth Warren. She helped set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and will continue to fight for you as President.

I'm Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message.

The following ad airs in South Carolina
()
Joe Biden claims to be an expert in Middle East politics, but he voted for war with Iraq in 2002, a war that many experts believe contributed to the rise of ISIS, a war we will be paying for years to come. This war has caused the death of scores of civilians, devastated Iraq, and made America less safe.

I'm Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message.

-Speech in Lexington, SC, about Rubio's record on improving veterans' living conditions :
()
My older brother Mario Rubio is a military veteran and he represents to me an example of the living conditions of our veterans. I always support him just like all other veterans to help them to earn the best post military service life they would ever know. I have a clear record on improving our veterans lives. Let me remind you, Senator King, in 2011 I cosponsored the AGREE Act alongside Democratic Senator Chris Coons. This bill gave tax credits for veterans opening a business franchise, so it helps them to find a good paying job and to prosper after their military service.

I successfully co-sponsored the 2014 VA reform law by introducing a measure empowering the VA secretary to hold managers accountable for incompetence, negligence and corruption and to care more about veterans than bureaucrats because it's another way to reward our veterans for their military service and their sacrifices for America.

If I'm elected President of the United States, our veterans will be rewarded for their valiant service to their country not only through medals of honor but also through health services. If we take care of our veterans, as I always did and will always do, they will be thankful of the services we'll give to them just as we are thankful of their service for our country, for freedom and for our national security. I will use this leadership as President of the United States. So I can promise you that our future military veterans will have access to the same services as the current veterans do.

God bless our men and women in uniform, God bless our veterans and God bless the United States of America.

I will appoint Supreme Court justices that will interpret the Constitution as originally constructed. I don't think the current Constitution gives the federal government the power to regulate marriage. What is wrong is that the Supreme Court has found this hidden constitutional right that 200 years of jurisprudence  had not discovered abd basically overturned the will of the voters in Florida, where over 60 % passed a constitutional amendment that defined marriage in the state constitution as the union of one man and one woman.

You know, Senator Moran and I agree that unborn lives are unimportant for the Democrats. But you also know that he came here and said, I quote : " Other candidates may claim that the life of the unborn is unimportant [...]" Who knows if he questionned other Republican candidates' pro-life faith, including mine. If that's the case, then he dared lie about my pro-life faith, which is dividing our party while we need to work together to beat the Democrats next year as he claimed to be his priority. Senator Moran does not have a monopoly on heart about unnborn children. I have always fought against abortion, I always fought to make sure that unborn children earn the right to live and I will keep pursuing that leadership as President of the United States. I am sick and tired that unborn children die. So I hope, Senator, that you will give me the respect I due to you and make sure that, no mater who wins the nomination, that Republicans will get together to win next year.

God bless unborn children and God bless America.

-Rally in Ames, IA, alongside Scott Walker :
 ()
Now is the time to chose who will be the Republican nominee and the next President of the United States of America. I said that if I were to run for President and become the Republican nominee, Marco Rubio would be my first choice as my running mate. Well, now that I'm no longer running, I am here to announce you that I endorse Marco Rubio, because right now he is my first choice for President of the United States.

After eight years of the failed Obama Administration, Americans are looking for real leadership and a new direction. Marco Rubio is a principled constitutional conservative who understands that power belongs to the states — and to the people — and not bureaucrats in Washington. Just like we did in Wisconsin, Marco Rubio is not afraid to challenge the status quo and to stand up against the big government special interests.

Senator Rubio has the best experience to grow our economy, to promote free market and free enterprise, to create jobs, to make America prosperous and to restore the American Dream. He has the right foreign policy experience to work with our allies, to defeat radical Islamic terrorism around the world and to fight for democracy. He is the best-positioned candidate to both win the Republican nomination and defeat either Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. That’s why I endorse Marco Rubio for President of the United States. »

Even though we disagree a lot of issues, Elizabeth Warren and I agree on one thing : Joe Biden is a flip-flopper. In addition of flip-flopping on same-sex marriage, Joe Biden voted in favor of the Iraq War in 2002-2003 before he changed his position and by withdrawing our troops from Iraq at the wrong moment in 2011, the Obama administration allowed ISIS to rise, conquer an important part of Iraq and Syria and kill innocent people around the world. If I'm President, I will correct that mistake and make sure that we will defeat ISIS and restore security in the Midde East once and for all through military strength and stronger military alliances.

In conclusion, you can see how much Vice-President Biden is ready to say and do anything to get elected.

This won't solve anything. That means that tyranny on the land of my ancestors will be permanent. Lifting the embargo like this will allow the Castro regime to earn more capitals to strengthen its power and to promote communism on the island my parents came from. More people will be put in jail for speaking their mind and the Castro regime will hand America's foes a big favor and a big advantage.

Here are the conditions of a good deal : Cuba has free elections and freedom of press, stops putting people in jail for speaking out, kicks out the Russians from Lourdes, kicks out the Chinese listening station in Berupal, stops helping North Korea evading U.N sanctions, takes all those refugees of America justice. Then we can have a good relationship with Cuba. That's a good deal.

And I have a message for the Cuban people : Nos tiene detras. Nosotros  no os abandonara. Cuando Cuba estara libre nuestras relaciones con Cuba sera mas fuerte y el pueble cubano van a ganar una socieda justa asi como unas oportunidades justas de prospera. Los Estados Unidos y Cuba estas estara  entre los mejores asociados trabajando con toda su energia para combatir la corupcion y delincuencia organizada, consolidar la democracia y libertad y restaurar seguridad y prosperidad en el continente americano.

Key moment from Stephen Percey's campaign rally for Nevada Log Cabin Republicans

Joe Biden is late to the party when it comes to marriage equality

I see him and President Obama coming out and praising the Supreme Court rulling but here is the thing. He's a total flip flopper!!

In 2008 he said him and Obama do not support that and it should be left to our faiths. And now he is going out and acting like he always was for it.  Just another politican!

*The crowd cheers and claps*


I throughout all my career and perhaps life have always supported and defended the rights of LGBT people.

And I fully people they should be treated like heterosexuals,Christians, Muslims and Jews.

Stephen Percy talks economy on Meet the Press

Chuck Todd:Joining us now is Stephen Percey who was shaken up the 2016 Presidental primaries by being in first place in New Hampshire our NBC polls show

Percey:Great to be on here

Todd:So why did you run

Percy:To be relevant again *laughs* In all seriousness I feel like the Republicans lost on purpose in 2012. Mitt Romney just couldn't connect with voters. I wanted to run because I felt like I wanted to make a difference and show a different kind of Republican you know?

Todd:Anyways about your economic plan

Percy:What about it?

Todd:Your critics say it's trickle down economics on steroids

Percy:I don't listen to that *Laughs* besides there is no such thing as trickle down economics like what you pundits say there is.  It's just a word to criticize Supply Side economics which I fully promote and believe works.

Todd:I can tell by your plan that you are for that

Percy:And I tell them what's wrong with lower taxation? Less government control? Less regulations? And a freer market? I am dumbfounded Charles.

Todd:It's just a matter of opinion l.

Percy:Right but I don't know how you get that. It's not a perfect system but it's better than what we have now *laughs*

Todd:Anyways your tax plan. How do you plan to address to the rich?

Percy:I plan to keep the tax rate on the top millionaires and billionaires the same. I will give the upper class a 15% tax cut while getting the middle and lower class 25% in tax cuts the small goes for small businesses who are getting taxed to oblivion by President Obama.

-Rep. Conyers will campaign in Iowa, attempting to rally support for Sanders' farming policy

@BilldeBlasio: America needs a strong progressive to take control of its broken system. Proud to endorse @SenSanders for President!

USProgressives: Our caucus is proud to back @SenSanders for President! An unyielding progressive and warrior for the less fortunate!

Summary: Sanders continued with his busy campaigning schedule, with bust tours through New Hampshire and Nevada, the latter of which kicked off his campaign in the state. He also welcomed several key endorsements from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and perhaps most surprisingly, former New Hampshire Governor John Lynch. The Sanders campaign hopes to capitalize on Lynch's historic popularity in New Hampshire, where the Senator ia now confident of a strong placing.

Stephen Percey calls out opponents for being not tough on Wall Street at USC campus rally

Percy:You have someone people like senator Moran who is being funded by Soros owned Union Pacfic Corps and Koch Brothers and senator Marco Rubio who is being funded by Goldman Sachs and well you have me who isn't getting money from big donors and big Wall Street banks because they fear me!!

I am in this race the toughest candidate on Wall Street and Goldman Sachs!   I fully believe in a bipartisan manner as president I will find a way to break up the big banks and reinforce the Glass Steagall act!

And will at my very best try to reinstate Dodd Frank which is a good idea but unfortunately President Obama being who he is messed it all up and made the economic crisis way worse than it was before.

*Crowd cheers*

That is why my rallies my events are not being funded by some big bank but are free so I can spread the message of Liberty without a price to pay!

While Vice President Biden and Senator Rubio's speeches are being funded by big donors and I am making a free grassroots campaign speech to people who want to smash the insiders of D.C.!

*Crowd cheers*

Joe Biden's Response To Pearcy's Attacks

Frankly, I don't know why Stephen Pearcy attacks me. I would understand if he took issue with my policies, but yet again, he lies. These aren't even lies that are possibly substantiated. Here's what Pearcy said:
I can't and I won't speak for Senator Rubio, but I will speak for myself. My speeches ARE NOT funded by big donors! At the very beginning of my campaign, I said that while I would accept donations from larger donors, but I would never never never accept SuperPAC money, or especially donor money to give a speech. The idea is simply ludicrous. My campaign publicizes our donations and expenses to ensure transparency; not once will you see me speaking for a donor or SuperPAC. Furthermore, I'd like to remind Pearcy who instated Dodd-Frank, who worked to rebuild Wall Street. It was President Obama and I. Back to the point, to even insinuate that I would give speeches for donor money is just lazy lying and is frankly an attempt at character assassination. Stephen Pearcy, you need to get a grip on campaigning. Stop the nonsense; stop the lying!

Moran response to Pearcy
@Moran2016

Stephen Pearcy claims my campaign is funded by Wall Street banks such as those run by George Soros and the Koch Brothers. They would never sponsor my campaign, Soros is a Democrat and has been an enemy of the Republican Party for years now and the Koch Brothers are pro-choice which contradicts a major part of my campaign. Mr. Pearcy is now lying about mine and other campaigns. #Moran2016 #Persist

Percey response to Senator Rubio's comments

Dear Marco Rubio. I don't hate you as a person in fact I respect you as a person however you took my comments of Dodd Frank out of context.  

I like the idea of it but I do believe the president messed it up and I said I could go away and get rid of it or I might well  renegotiate it and make it works as it was planned to be.

And Senator Moran I didn't say you yourself were funded by Soros (And yes he does fund Republicans look at John Mccain's campaign in 2008) I was saying that the company you get funded by Union Pacifc has stocked bought and owned by George Soros.

Just had to get these things out. Hoping for a good primary season

STEPHEN PERCY's FINAL PRE FIRST DEBATE TV INTERVIEW ON ELLEN

Ellen:Alright 80s rock star turn close to be the GOP frontrunner will be joining us right now! Please welcome Stephen Percy!

*He walks out*

Key moments from the interview

Ellen:Ok I know you don't like to talk nice about the competition

Percy:*Laughs* most of the time at least

Ellen:But who is one other canidate in this race that you respect

Percy:Well I really admire Senator Rand Paul and yeah on some issues we are quite similar.  We both want free market values, Flat tax rates and spreading the message of Liberty.  The thing we differ on is that he is more  constitutionalst while I am more populist and I am more moderate

Ellen:What is the message of Liberty?

Percy:Well my message is more populist rather than Paul's more constitutionalist message.
I am fighting the globalists in DC and in a Percy admisration we will drain the swamp that's in Washington DC.

Ellen:When you are not campaigning what do you like doing?

Percy:Well I have been having father daughter time with me and my lovely daughter Jewel Percy.

Ellen:What brings you together?

Percy:The adult cartoon Bojack Horseman on Netflix which me and Jewel really enjoy

*Some people cheer*

Percy:I see we got some fans in the building *laughs*

Ellen:What do you like about it?

Percy:Wheee to start *laughs* I love it pokes fun and does a good job showing what Hollywood looks like.

And the scenes where Bojack Horseman who is voiced by someone who I really like Will Arnet would be me if I didn't sober up in the 90s *Laughter erupts*

Percy:Seriously though I really love the scenes in the 80s cause it gives me the flashbacks of the good and bad of 80s Hollywood.

Ellen:Your days

Percy:Yes when I still was relevant *laughs* Though I am back to relevancy now I guess *laughs*

Update?

You know, there are others who can run an election game... NHI, for example has run two...

For when is the next round?

Apologies for the wait.

-Foreign policy speech at Joint Base Charleston in Goose Creek, South Carolina, in reaction to the Iran Nuclear Deal :
()
The Obama administration is the architect of one of the worst deals America has ever made. This so-called nuclear deal lifted sanctions against Iran, which will allow Tehran to get the necessary revenues to pursue the development of nuclear weapons and to keep supporting international terrorism, thus contributing to further terrorist attacks. A nuclear Iran will impose a serious threat to international security and freedom. If Iran ever gets nuclear weapons, it will be able to wipe Israel off the map and to launch nuclear attacks against our allies, or worse, against us, which would cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives. If such disaster ever happens, I would be very astonished if Vice-President Biden remains so proud of this so-called accomplishment he sees in this deal reached last week with Iran.

If I'm the next President of the United States, I will make sure that any agreement with Iran meets the original goals of the U.N and our allies: a non-nuclear Iran. I will reinforce our geopolitical alliances in the Middle East and in the Indian Subcontinent to increase pression on Iran and make sure that it won't act against our international security interests. I will make certain that Iran will use its nuclear energy not for military purposes but its national economic growth.

Thank you. God bless our allies and God bless the United States of America.

I am so glad that the Confederate Flag is removed from the South Carolina capitol a few weeks after this terrible shooting that killed 9 African Americans in Charleston. I am proud of Governor Nikki Haley's courageous and valiant hard work to achieve this great accomplishment. Once again, she has proven that the Republican Party is still defending Abraham Lincoln's legacy by doing what is best for the African American community. And I am proud to be endorsed by Governor Haley and by South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, the first African American from the South to be elected to the United States Senate since the 19th century.

We are the party of unity and diversity and as a presidential candidate, I pledge to be President for all the American people : white, black, Hispanic, Asian, etc.

Thank you. God bless South Carolina, God bless the African American community and God bless the United States of America.

Marco Rubio will keep the American Dream alive by reforming our immigration system after reinforcing our borders, by fixing our education system to make it more accessible to the American people, by getting us energy independence to allow us to develop renewable energies, by making American businesses competitive, by cutting taxes for all Americans including the middle class, by standing with our precious allies and by modernizing our military. He has both the right economic background and the right foreign policy background to lead our nation to success, security, victory and unity. That is why my father and I are proud to support Marco Rubio for President.

-Speech given by Jeanette Rubio (Marco Rubio's wife) at Southern New Hampshire University :
()
As a wife and as a mother of two daughters and two sons, I believe we all need to raise our children to help them getting success, which will give them a bright future. Marco will do it by promoting school choice, which will cost families, including these immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, less and produce higher outcomes compared to public education. It will grant parents the power to orientate their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and look for better education elsewhere. It will expand opportunities for low-income students—especially minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to higher-income families, thus increasing their chances of success and of entry into the workforce.

Thanks to his experience in the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Marco will make America the best country to open a business by reducing the cost of doing business in America, developing new infrastructures to encourage the implementation of new American businesses and by cutting taxes for all the American people. He understands that the way to grow this economy is to make poor people richer.

()
My fellow Americans, I am here to announce you that I endorse Marco Rubio to be the next President of the United States and the next commander-in-chief. I support him because among all the Republican candidates, he has the best foreign policy knowledge to keep America safe and he has the best foreign policy plan to defeat terrorism and tyranny around the world. As President, Marco Rubio will defeat terrorism by growing defense budget, reinforcing and modernizing our military, strengthening and expanding our alliances and send all the necessary arsenal and troops to defeat radical Islamic terrorism.

He will face Russia with courage through overthrowing Bachar al-Assad, thus giving Syria back to Syrians and restoring democracy, stability, integrity, justice and security in this country. He will stop Russia's invasion of Ukraine by providing our Ukrainian allies the necessary American powerful weapons to defeat this pro-Russian rebellion. Marco Rubio will stop North Korea's geopolitical insanity by reinforcing our military presence on the Pacific, establishing an anti-missile shield and strengthening our collaborations with our allies around the Pacific.

Marco Rubio is ready to be commander-in-chief on Day One and our country will be safe under his leadership.

Agriculture is one of the main tools for economic growth. Agriculture provides food feeding Americans and also provides garments that we carry. So agriculture encourages free market through stronger consumption, an important element of America's economic prosperity. That's why we need to free farmers, including those here in Iowa, from taxes and regulations imposed by the government.

That's why I pledge, as President of the United States, to cut taxes and regulations on agricultural companies and on tractor companies to reinforce their ability to innovate, to produce and to manufacture, which will not only create jobs but also give our consumers more access to food and to clothing, thus improving their living conditions and their American Dream.

Thank you. God bless our farmers, God bless our consumers and God bless America.

-Speech at the Latin Chamber of Commerce Nevada Inc. in Las Vegas, Nevada, about Senator Rubio's plan to create economic opportunities for the Hispanic community :
()
The Obama Administration has been ineffective when it comes to create jobs for the American people, including Hispanics. We need to give Hispanics the opportunity to learn English while maintaining their language and cultural heritage in order to open up economic opportunities for them, because I believe we should not close these opportunities for any of our fellow citizens because their first language is another one than English. School choice will give positive results to Hispanics : lower education costs for families, including immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, production of higher outcomes, in contrast to public education. It allows parents to guide their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and grant them better education elsewhere. It will expand opportunities for low-income students—notably minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to high-income families, thus giving them a fair chance of success and an easier path to the workforce.

By promoting free trade with Latin America, we will give our businesses, including Hispanic small businesses in the United States thanks to language opportunities and their fluency in Spanish and English, new opportunities to innovate, to increase their competitiveness, to get new consumers by giving them access to American products, to create jobs in our country and ensure their business' expansion. Thanks to their bilingualism, Hispanics will be dominant among the importers, exporters, translators and executives who ensure such a cultural and commercial exchange. Our innovation and competition capacity comes from our open markets as well as our constant quest for new markets.

Thanks to my pro-growth agenda to open economic opportunities for Hispanics and create jobs for them, this large community will earn the same opportunities as any other American, porque America es el pais de las oportunidades dónde todo es posible para todos los estadounidenses de abajo hacia arriba.

Gracias. Que Dios bendiga la comunidad hispana. Que Dios bendiga los Estados Unidos de America.

Twenty years ago, America suffered one of the worst terrorist attacks in its history. That day, here in Oklahoma City, 168 of our fellow citizens were killed by two extremists while over 680 were wounded. This terrorist attack, like all the others that we witnessed over the last few months, demonstrated that we can't afford to lower our security against terrorism and extremism. We will not surrender, we will defeat our enemies and we will win.

-Rally with voters at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
-Energy policy speech at Chesapeake Energy headquarters in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in which Senator Rubio unveils his energy plan :
()
When I'm President of the United States, energy independence will be one of my priorities for America's prosperity. If I'm elected, we will reinforce oil drilling by approving the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline as well as oil drilling in ANWR and Alaskan coasts, by building a transcontinental pipeline from Pennsylvania to Californian coasts and another one from Alaska to Alberta to increase oil production as well as the production and transport of oil barrels, which, according to economists, will create hundreds of thousands of new good-paying jobs. I will increase permits on federal lands and promote the manufacturing of more underwater tankers that will be able to exploit oilfields under water as well multiplying oil platforms.

That way, we will finally be able to exploit these resources easily and safely without any danger before Russia does, especially in the Arctic, a strategic region with great potential such as an abundance of oil and gas, notably on the Alaskan coasts and the Beaufort Sea. It will deprive terrorists and other anti-American forces of revenues from America's energy dependence on foreign oil to prepare attacks against the United States and its allies. It will help us growing our economy and to protect the environment. As a result, my energy plan will lead us to energy independence by 2030 and increase our capacity of producing our own energies. It will also boost our automotive industry and our manufacturing industry by making our cars less expensive, increasing car manufacturing in America, encouraging our consumers to buy more American cars than Asian cars thanks to a stronger purchasing power and by saving Great Lakes cities (especially Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee, where automotive industry is among the main economic activities) from bankruptcy. As a result, it will give us the upper hand in the Transpacific Partnership thanks to lower prices for American cars. Under my administration, we will use a part of the revenues from oil drilling to develop alternative and renewable energies such nuclear, wind, solar and hydroelectric energies for the sake of our economy and our environment.

That's how we're going to get to America's energy revolution for the sake of a stronger economic prosperity and national security.

STEVEN PERCY'S RESPONSE TO THE PUBLIC BAN OF CONFEDERATE FLAGS

I believe that Confederate flags flying in government property is silly and a total anachronism.

However if someone in their privacy wants to fly it in their own home or at a NASCAR race then that is total acceptable.

I do believe it should be treated like a part of history. A time of a dived nation and a war that would change the country forever.

I dont see it as a flag of hatred or saying a race is superior other another one. For that you gotta to look at the flag of Nazi Germany which killed many people my grandfather a holocaust survivor knew around him.

       

24 hour extension please?

STEPHEN PERCY CAMPAIGN AD AIRED NATIONWIDE ABOUT ENDING CRONY CAPTIALISM

*A picture of the Captial Building pops up*

Washington DC has the highest per captia income in the nation. While the middle class
*Cuts to a middle class suburban family* struggle in Obama's broken economy *A picture now is shown of two businessmen shaking hands* Now crony Captialism being fuled with government and debt

*Now shows a picture of Stephen Percy campaigning in New Hampshire*

Stephen Percy will end cronyism. A balanced budget amendment, A flat tax reform and common sense business reform.

*Now shows a picture of Percy campaigning in Nevada*

He will clean house in Washington and drain the swamp. 

I am Stephen Percy and I approve this message.

Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts a television ad similar to Ronald Reagan's 1984 « There is a bear in the woods », that was, at the time, promoting a strong national security against the Soviet Union symbolized by a bear. It also reminds George W. Bush's 2004 T.V. ad titled « Wolves » that called for stronger national security against Al Qaida and international terrorism that were represented by wolves in this ad.

Marco Rubio's T.V. ad titled « A cougar is waiting in the weeds » features a cougar, comparing this predator to ISIS and international radical Islamic terrorism. It also features a cyclist riding in cougar's mountainous territory and a park warden. This commercial's goal is to call on the American people to stay vigilant against the threat posed to the United States by radical Islamic terrorism (especially ISIS, Al Qaida, the Hezbollah, Boko Haram, etc.) and to promote a strong national defense to eradicate this threat.

The ad airs nationwide (in all the 50 states).

« A cougar is waiting in the weeds » advertisement narration :

()
In the mountainous deserts of the West, the cougar, one of the greatest most dangerous and deadly predators in America, is waiting in the weeds, just like jihadists are preparing to attack at anytime around the world.
()
On the cougar's territory, we can't afford to lack vigilance just like we can't afford to lower our guard against Islamic terrorism by cutting in security measures, in the budget defense, in military spending and in our military's modernization and readiness.
()
The cougar is preparing to pounce on his next defenseless prey.
()
But if we increase security on this territory, this threat can be removed, thus saving this cyclist's life, just like we can remove the threat posed to the United States and its allies by ISIS and international radical Islamic terrorism if we stand with our allies, increase defense budget and deploy all the necessary military arsenal to defeat terrorism, thus saving innocent lives for the sake of democracy, freedom, justice, integrity and security.

While I have reservations making deals with anyone who screams "Death to America", the fact is, our deal with Iran is better than doing nothing and simply allowing them to build a nuclear weapon undisturbed. As President I will be ready to enforce this deal, both the good, and the bad, for if Iran cheats or kicks out weapons inspectors, I will not hesitate to reinstate sanctions against them.

Speech in Surfside, Florida
()
While some, like Senator Rubio, oppose opening a dialogue with Cuba, the fact is that the embargo simply didn't work. The Castro's stubbornly clung to power for almost sixty years, and everyone has suffered. Therefore it's time for a new approach, and that is why I welcome President Obama's decision to reestablish our relations with Cuba. Maybe the American influence will be just what's needed to send Cuban style Communism into defeat.

STEPHEN PERCY RESPONCE TO SENATOR WARREN 's COMMENTS ON THE CONFEDERATE FLAG

It seems like Senator Warren doesn't know her history.

If you could do some research you would fine out that the history behind it is from it is a modified version of the British Union Jack flag. And that's not even the original official flag of the CSA. It was the battle flag mainly for the army of Northern Virgina.

We should blame the flag we should blame the people who enslaved other people for property and how they treated them like a dog and not a human.

The following ad plays in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina

Joe Biden claims to be in favor of breaking up the big banks, but is he really? In 1999 he voted for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act and in 1979 he voted for Depository Institutions Deregulation, both of which helped contribute to separate financial crises. So which Joe Biden are we getting? Let's not find out.

I'm Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message.

I'm going to need an extension too. I've got some really bad things happening right now.

Biden's Response to Warren's Big Banks Claims

Senator Warren continues to push ads that accuse me of supporting big banks. I'll admit it, yes I did support these banks, but this was anywhere from 17 to 37 years ago! In the past eight years as a Vice Presidential candidate and Vice President, I have done the best I can to stop the crippling hold big banks have over our nation. Furthermore, I promise to enact legislation similar to the Glass-Steagall act if elected, weakening the influence of big banks forever. I don't see Sen. Warren pushing for that.

Finally, Senator Warren, you ought to be ashamed at yourself for digging through my past to uncover votes that I cast that frankly, have been more than reversed by the legislation that the President and I have crafted.

Extensions granted.

Debate questions are being sent out.

Stephen Percy promises peace in rally in Georgia

I look at not all but most of these candidates I look at the track records and they want war with Iran and Syria who I fine to be total disasters.

Look Al Asaad  is a bad guy but I feel like Syria will be another Iraq war which he are still technically in as in he haven't withdrew all troops out of Iraq which is something we will do Day 1!

*People clap and cheer*

And for Afghanistan. We got Bin Laden so why are we still in there? Get them out be free go back to your home!

*More clapping and cheering*

Anyways back to Syria going into Syria would risk going into World War III cause you never know what people are shooting at. It could be a Russian base in the middle of the country and that gets them all pissed and then the midnight clock hits a min.

That is what you have to lose if these war hawks get elect. And I am scared for my dear life

ISIS? Well I think that is a expection I do think that if we come in with the RIGHT people we can take em out and them go home and be applauded for doing your job

*Crowd cheers*

I want to before we go out thank Front Benning for letting us campaign here. This is just such a historal place in US Milltary history.

People long ago here trained to fight the Fascist tryants in Nazi Germany and bravery storm a beach in

Normandy France with hundreds of machine gun fire running towards them. While some didn't make it still respect and give it up for their courage and that they sacrificed themselves for our country.

Once again, Stephen Pearcy demonstrated that he does not have the national security experience and judgement to keep America safe while terrorism is about to become one of the, if not, the most important issue of this campaign. He doesn't understand that if we want peace, we have to be ready for war. And that's what George Washington said : “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace. ”

Here is an example of this matter of fact : 4 years ago, we withdrew our tropos from Iraq at the wrong moment, which allowed ISIS to rise, to conquer a great territory in Iraq and Syria, to kill innocent people around the world and to commit genocides in the Middle East.

If Mr. Pearcy thinks that Syria would be like Iraq, he is completely wrong. Here is a clear difference between Iraq and Syria : Bachar al-Assad is clearly possessing weapons of mass destruction as well as rockets containing the chemical agent sarin and his regime used it on August 21 2013, killing almost 1500 people. This is barbarism.

And Mr. Pearcy, the reason why we are still in Afghanistan despite Bin Laden's death is because the Taliban and Al Qaida are still on the run, threatening security, integrity and democracy there and killing people all across Afghanistan. We are training the new Afghan army to ensure their readiness and to transfer them the responsibility of Afghanistan's security. That is how we're going to defeat Al Qaida and the Taliban once and for all.

If we disengage ourselves from the War on Terror, ISIS, Al Qaida and international terrorism will win this war and we will face a disastrous situation through multiplied terrorist attacks against us and our allies. If we disengage in our fight against terrorism like the Obama administration did by withdrawing in Iraq, ISIS will follow us home just like terrorists followed us home and attacked us in Boston in 2013 and in Garland this year.

ISIS wants Iraq and Syria to be a heaven and a base for radical Islamic terrorism in order to launch further attacks against the United States and its allies. The Middle East is not their ultimate destination. Their ultimate destination is New York City, Washington D.C., Chicago, Boston, Seattle. etc.

And yet, Mr. Pearcy has joined the Democrats on foreign policy issues and is proposing America's surrender. I refuse surrender beacause that means victory for ISIS and international terrorism and defeat for America, democracy, integrity and security and that is what will happen if Mr. Pearcy is elected. That is why he can't be trusted because his leadership will contribute to stronger terrorist threat. Surrender makes peace impossible.

Ending wars is not enough. We need a commander-in-chief who speaks of winning wars and not merely ending wars. I seek to be that commander-in-chief. If we reinforce our defense ties with our allies in the Middle East and in the Indian Subcontinent and restore sanctions  against Iran, there will be no need to trigger a war against Iran because they will never have nuclear weapons. If we strengthen our alliances, we will, with all the necessary arsenal, defeat ISIS by attacking them from all the sides, just like we defeated Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich on the European continent at the end of World War II. That way, we will wipe ISIS off the map and bring Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to justice. That is how we will preserve security, democracy, freedom, integrity and justice and restore peace.

Thank you, God bless the United States of America.

[Applause from the audience]

Do we have to wait until all Republican candidates have posted their campaign schedules before starting posting our debate answers?

I don't know if you've sent out debate questions to Democrats yet, but I have not received any.

Stephen Percy's Interview with Greg Gutfeld on Milltary spending

Gutfeld:You made a point recently about military spending. How in a Percy administration will you handle the Milltary budget?

Percy:Well if you look at Milltary spending since the Bush administration we have seem to spend up to 300 billion dollars on Milltary. And it isn't like Word War III is gonna happen anytime soon so I feel like I won't cut Milltary  spending I will in fact just freeze it cause either way we still by far have the biggest Milltary its not even close.  I believe Russia correct me if I am wrong has like only 60 billion dollars in their Milltary budget which is not close to what the US stands at now.

Hey I think we could defeat ISIS with a budget like that! *laughs*

Do we have to wait until Rand Paul posts his schedule before posting our debate answers?

Ok, so we can start posting our debate answers now?

We get PMed our debate answers

So you mean, we PM our debate answers to Speaker CXSmith (Labor-MA) by sending them to him and then he will post them?

He will PM you the questions

He already PMed me the questions for Marco Rubio. Did he do the same for Stephen Pearcy?

Yes he did.

Stephen Percy's speech during lunch with supporters in New Hampshire

My comments about the Milltary budget has made Senator Rubio and his supporters irate for some reason.

We are 18 trillion dollars in debt. And you want to cut taxes while you keep spending on Milltary budget?

If weed want to see tax cuts boom you got to cut some sort of spending and bring in a balanced budget and like what happen in the 1950s under President Eisenhower the economy will boom.

Not I am not saying I will cut spending on the Milltary I don't plan that. I will however cut spending on the NSA which is something out of Nazi Germany it feels like.
*Crowd cheers*

Let me tell you something has the Patriot Act which will on day 1 will be overturned done anything to protect terrorism massacres in this country?

No we have still have had them. And we see people in airports lines get wrongly accused of being a terrorist and then they get sent off to jail for nothing. This is not okay and this needs to stop now!!

*Crowd claps*

Mr. Pearcy mislead my behavior about his comments on terrorism. I was not irate, I was outraged and astonished that Pearcy's doesn't know what it takes to keep America safe.

And now I'm astonished that he is so out of touch when it comes to foreign policy, national security and terrorism.

Let me remind you, Mr. Pearcy, that one of the main reasons why we managed to ensure America's economic growth under President Eisenhower in the 1950s is because of the Peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union, which reduced the risk of a confrontation between the United States and the USSR. But today, we are living in a very different situation : a situation of growing terrorist threat, of Russian expansionist policy and potential acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran. This situation is nonsense and it will be chaotic if we don't take action and restore American leadership. President Obama's weak foreign policy allowed this situation for eight years. We are in a time of war, which is far away from the Peaceful coexistence, so we have to accomplish our job to keep America safe, save innocent lives and defeat terrorism.

When it comes to Pearcy's question about the Patriot Act's effectiveness, yes, it accomplished a lot of things for America's security. I got to remind Mr. Pearcy that the Patriot Act allowed intelligence agents to share with FBI criminal investigators evidence that an anonymous letter sent to the FBI had come from an individual with Al Qaeda. That letter began the investigation into an alleged terror cell in Lackawanna, New York, that has resulted in six guilty pleas.

[Applause from audience]

That same information-sharing authority was used against members of an alleged terror cell in Portland, Oregon, that an undercover informant said was preparing for possible attacks against Jewish schools or synagogues. Continued surveillance under the Patriot Act of one suspect led to six others, who likely would have scattered or fled if the first suspect had been arrested right away.

Thanks to Patriot Act, terror financing provisions of the law were used in numerous cases, including charges against a member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, on charges of being an unlicensed money transmitter. The same authority has been used to prosecute people illegally sending money to Iraq, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates and India.

Powers permitted under the Patriot Act have also been used in investigations involving potential school bomb attacks, computer hackers, child pornography, violent fugitives and illegal weapons sales. In one case, Patriot Act electronic communications authorities allowed law enforcement agencies to identify a person who had sent 200 threatening letters laced with white powder in Lafayette.

Over 40 terror plots, if not more, that were planned to be committed against the United States were foiled since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 thanks to domestic and international cooperation, as well as efforts to track down terror, including the Patriot Act.

So saying, like Mr. Pearcy did, that the Patriot Act did nothing to stop terrorist massacres in America is a lie. And not only it's a lie, but this is also a misunderstanding of foreign policy.

Without the Patriot Act, America will be deprived of the necessary tools to fight terrorism and stop terrorist attacks from being committed on America's territory, which will cost many American lives.

So the choice in this campaign is a third Obama term when it comes to foreign policy that contributed to stronger terrorist threat, decrease of freedom, democracy and security and multiplied terrorist attacks or proven leadership and stronger American leadership that will defeat terrorism through a modernized military, stronger alliances and stronger diplomacy, which will save American lives and innocent lives here and abroad.

The latter option is the best path to America's security and if you want this option, then I am your man, because we can't afford another four years of Barack Obama's weak foreign policy like the last eight years.

Thank you. God bless all the families of victims of terrorism and God bless the United States of America.

[Loud applause from the audience]

I never got my debate questions, and I also want to apologize; I'm super busy and am going to miss this round. Enjoy that boost in poll numbers, Warren and Sanders!

I think you don't have your debate questions because the first Democratic debate was held in October 2015, not in August.

Oh right, duh

ENTERTAIMENT WEEKLY.COM:STEPHEN PERCY TO HOST A EPISODE of Season 41th of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

The leader in New Hampshire and Nevada primaries will host the after premiere episode of Saturday Night Live's 41th season.

Percy says he said yes immediately saying that he want people to know he isn't some celebrity blow hard and that he has a good sense of humor




(Yes Percy like Trump's Presidential run OTL will get a lot satire though they prob would be more friendly towards him)

For when is the next turn?

When will the next turn start?

After the debate is finished prob

When all the candidates will have PMed their debate answers to Speaker CXSmith (Labor-MA)?

Percy speaks in  a town hall in Iowa about healthcare

I get messages all around this state about health care and how they had a private run medical center that was killed off by big corporate healthcare system.

And many people lost their lives and they lost their doctor and plan.

My job to you believe is get the government out of lives and your healthcare.

*People clap*

My Obamacare replacement will be cheap and affordable free market healthcare that will all be taken care from by the  invisible hand.

*People claps*

And with my healthcare a lot of money will be saved from the federal government.

Two of our number haven't posted at all, so I doubt they will send debate answers.

Who are these two candidates. Because if these candidates are Ted Cruz and Mitch Daniels, who are not so active, and if they don't post, it would be their problem for their poll standing.

But, just to be sure, do we have to post our debate answers or must we PM them to the moderator?

They are Cruz and Daniels, I believe...

And do we have to post our debate answers or must we PM them to the moderator?

I assume you have to PM them to the moderator...of course I'm playing as a Democrat, so I didn't get any.

All right, that's what I did. Did you do the same?

Hello.

I think we're still waiting for two people who simply aren't going to send responses in. We really should move on without them.

I totally agree with this idea.

Update?

I was just about to do a Percy speech.

STEPHEN PERCY TOWN HALL IN Los Angeles CAILFORINA

Our Govenor Jerry Brown is prob the worst thing to happen to Cailforina since the Rams moved to St Louis
*Crowd laughs*

He claims to be financially conservative like me but the records and facts say otherwise
 *Crowd claps*

Anyways I will answer some questions in the audience

Starting with you.

*A girl raises her hands*

Hi there Mr Percy I am 23 and I usually lean independent and I was wondering your views on abortion and how a Percy administration would view abortion?

Percy:Well that is a very good question. I first and foremost am prolife and I sure want to cut federal spending on Planned Parenthood in order to get this balanced budget amendment I want to pass. BUT in cases of rape and accidents I totally think that it's ok to get one. I think it is a smart expectation to my view.

And what about you

*A young college student raises his hand*

Well Mr Percy I was wondering about healthcare cost these days. My family's health insurance took a big hit due to Obamacare. I'm pretty sure you have talked about this before but what are your plans for healthcare?

Percy:Well I want to find a way to renegotiate Medicare and make it where it doesn't mess with private healthcare and private insurance companies. I personally believe the free market version of healthcare is better and cheaper. I personally believe that people not the government with most things control other there healthcare not the government.  Their plans should be control by the person themselves and whatever doctor they are seeing.

So, did I... I think this game is dead, unless we kick Cruz and Daniels out and get a new GM, folks.

No it's not dead. The moderator told me that the next update would come later tonight.

Try NHI...If CSX can't continue for whatever reason, he'd be a good choice.

Ok then

Don't worry. CSX told me that he will update tonight at approximately 11 pm.

Okay... 11:00 has come and gone.

It's time for a new GM.

Let's get NHI

Do you want to send the message or should I?

You shouldnin all honestly

The message has been sent.

I got a hold of NHI... he's interested in taking over as GM, and since CXSmith won't respond to any of us, we really should consider it.

For anyone who doesn't know, NHI ran 2004 and 2008 election games which I partook in (as Hillary Clinton). and did an admirable job.

Hi all-

I'm willing to take over the managing of the election day.
As I understand the timeline is August 2015 -- let's continue it through the end of August, do a round of polling, endorsements and then move ahead to late November/early December.

Sound fair to everyone?

But what about the debates?

I'm totally fine with NHI's proposition.

I'm onboard with that.

Yes. We'll do the debate as well.

Including the first Republican presidential primary debate that was held in Cleveland, Ohio?

Yes.

So I guess we have to PM you our debate answers. That way you can put them at the topic of the beginning of the next round.

OK. sounds good.

As soon as I have everyone's debate answers and endorsement requests I'll start the next round.

- NHI

You can send me them.

I already sent him over everything.

Yay you are back!

I sent him an updated list of endorsements actually... not much difference, added a new one, and asked for two new polls.

Pearcy:

1. As you know, President Obama has made a new deal with Iran with regards to its nuclear policy. What would you do about this deal?

Well I feel like it is a step in the right direction towards peace with Iran but it's not what I wanted. We are not quite their yet.

2. Mr. Pearcy, you are the only candidate in the race not to have held public office. Do you feel that this would impede you if you were to win the election?

Well I think it would start a revolution of these celebrities who I may like thinking about running for office of their choice. I believe that we need these to drain out career politicians in DC.

3. Make a closing statement.

I may not be perfect and I made have a iffy history but I have changed and I just want to let the people know that if you vote for me we will not have a corrupt government or pointless wars or numbers in debt.  I want to make take Amercia back!  I want to bring back free market values and defeat the Washington establishment. What is so wrong with that?

---

Paul:

1. As you know, President Obama has made a new deal with Iran with regards to its nuclear policy. What would you do about this deal?

The Iranian deal made by this administration just shown us how weak is the Obama administration when talking about foreign policy, they ceded basically everything to the country that shouts "Death to America and it's people" and "Death to the Jews and Israel", the deal tells us to lift the sanctions in this country, and sincerely this is crazy, how can we expect a country that want we dead and say it to everyone to follow the deal, I'm not opposed to negotiations but this type of negotiation, with this type of country is not viable. As president, I will fight to rip up this deal, to reinstate the sanctions in Iran, I will recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, to show Iran that America is back in the game, to grant safety for it's citizens!

2. Senator Paul, you recently filibustered the USA PATRIOT Act for 10 and a half hours. This is a divisive issue both within your party and the American population as a whole. What security measures do you believe should be taken in place of the USA PATRIOT Act?

Well, the USA PATRIOT Act is a form of more government control over citizens, there are many bad things in the PATRIOT Act, specially the fact that it gives many powers to the government to spy it's citizens, for example seeing in phone who you called, when you called, the duration of the call and other information, with the information the government collects, it can know you age, sex, religion, political engagement, and other things. My answer to this question is pretty simple, first we need to end the terrorism here, how do I plan to do this? First we need to change our policy of taking refugees, I will make very clear, you will only enter this country if you have a reason, if we know who you are if you are ok, because there are many people that take advantage of this crisis to enter the country and this people turn out to be radicals and to do attacks, the second thing is to be very clear to every American citizen, if you are joining ISIS and fighting with them, you are no longer a american, you just shown that in fact, you don't like your country and that you don't deserve to have the right to simply come here, because if you are with them, you are obviously not planning on help us. Now let's say the government thinks some person is a terrorist, in this case, it should go to a judge and obtain a warrant as required by the fourth amendment.

3. Make a closing statement.

Our country today, borrows one million dollars a minute, our companies are leaving, is harder to open a business each time the taxes get higher and each day people fell less safe. Our country really needs change, and during my time in Senate I defended many solutions to these problems, but after begging my presidential campaign I saw many things, new things, I meet with many voters and I saw what they wanted, and one thing I felt, is that we need to bring back their liberty and freedom, I might be the only one in the stage to defend some thing here or something there, but I hope I'm not the only one in this stage that is willing to pick up the torch of freedom and liberty and fight for the American values.

Rubio:

1. As you know, President Obama has made a new deal with Iran with regards to its nuclear policy. What would you do about this deal?

Well, let me first describe Iran because they're not just a normal nation state. And we have no quarrel with the Iranian people. But the Iranian leader, their supreme leader is a radical Shia cleric who has an apocalyptic vision of the future and even shouted “ Death to America ”.
  
He views himself not simply as the leader of Iran, but as the leader of all all Shia Muslims on the planet. And they have a desire not simply to conquer the Middle East and to become the dominant power in that region, but ultimately to be able to hold America hostage.

That is why they are, right now, developping long- range missiles capable of reaching the United States, and that is why they're going to use those $100 billion to expand their conventional capabilities and to one day buy or build a nuclear weapon. And this money will also be used by Iran to support international terrorism through providing weapons to terrorist groups.

When I'm President of the United States, on my first day in office, we are canceling the deal with Iran, and nations will have to choose between doing business with either Iran or America and I am very confident they're going to choose America before they choose the Iranian economy.

And when we'll repeal the Iran nuclear deal under my leadership, sanctions will make sure that Iran will never have the necessary money to develop nuclear weapons and I seek to reinforce our defense ties with our allies in the Middle East and in the Indian Subcontinent (especially Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India) not only to fight terrorism in the Middle East but also to increase pression on Iran to make certain that Tehran will never ever get nuclear weapons. We have to make sure that Iran will use its nuclear energy not for military purposes but for economic purposes. Nuclear energy should be used for Iran's economic growth. The military option should not be taken off the table, but as long as Iran will act the way I just described, there will be no need to intervene militarily against Iran, which will reinforce international security and peace.

2. Senator Rubio, you were part of the Gang of Eight who wrote the 2013 immigration reform bill. How do you feel about this issue, and what would you do about border security?

Well, I believe America is the land of opportunity where everything is posible. Legal immigrants have been waiting in line for 15 years. We are an open nation and diversity is one of our nation's strengths. That is why our nation is called the United States of America.

I want our immigration system to be resolved, but there are still steps to accomplish before getting there due to a decreased national security here and abroad and we saw it through these recent terrorist attacks over the last few months.

We will not tollerate amnesty, which requires for immigrants to pay fines, to learn English and get back of line.

The American people have been told for 30 years they're going to enforce the border and nothing ever happened. And, I'm going to tell you exactly how we're going to deal with it when I am President.

Number one, we're going to keep ISIS out of America. If we don't know who you are, or why you're coming, you will not get into the United States.

Number two, we're going to enforce our immigration laws. I am the son and grandson of immigrants. And I know that securing our borders is not anti-immigrant and we will do it.

We'll hire 20,000 new border agents instead of 20,000 new IRS agents. We will finish the 700 miles of fencing and walls our nation needs. We'll have mandatory E-verify, a mandatory entry/exit tracking system and until all of that is in place and all of that is working and we can prove to the people of this country that illegal immigration is under control, nothing else is going to happen.

We are not going to round up and deport 12 million people, but we're not going to hand out citizenship cards, either. There will be a process. We will see what the American people are willing to support. But it will not be unconstitutional executive orders like the ones Barack Obama has forced on us.

We won’t be able to take more refugees. It’s not that we don’t want to, it's that we can't. We could be potentially open to the relocation of some of these individuals at some point in time to the United States. But we will always be concerned that someone with a terrorist background could also sneak in among the refugees.

That's why we have to reinforce our borders in order to make sure that no terrorist crosses our borders. That's why we have to destroy ISIS and make sure that Syria, Iraq and all the Middle East will never become a terrorist heaven.

3. Make a closing statement.

Thank you. You know, both of my parents were born into poor families on the island of Cuba. They came to America because it was the only place where people like them could have a chance. Here in this country, they never made it big, but the very purpose of their life was to give us the chance to do all the things they never could.

My father was a bartender. And the journey from the back of that bar to this stage tonight, to me, that is the essence of the American dream. It is what makes our nation different. And I'm running for president because I want that to still be possible for the people trying to do that now. I run for president because I believe that we can't just save the American dream; we can expand it to reach more people and change more lives than ever before. And that's why I'm asking for your vote. So we can make America greater than it has ever been. And make of this century a new American century.

Thank you.

Moran:

1. As you know, President Obama has made a new deal with Iran with regards to its nuclear policy. What would you do about this deal?

As I said on Fox News several days ago, I am opposed to the deal. I would not sign this bill as president. We can definitely get a better deal than the one negotiated.

2. Senator Moran, earlier this year you voted against a Senate amendment claiming that human activity leads to climate change. Can you further explain your position on the issue?

That amendment was worded that human activity "significantly contributes" to climate change, a position I disagree with. Sure there may be some contribution from humans but not most of it.

3. Make a closing statement.

In these past two hours of debate, five people have died from drugs, $100 million has been added to our debt, 200 babies have been killed from abortion and 2 veterans have committed suicide. This is something we not only can change, but must. Not the Democrats or the Republicans, but the American people. I thank God that I live here in this country where we truly have something special about our people and that is something we must embrace and never throw away.





Baier: We're now here with reaction with our panel. Beginning first with legendary columnist Charles Krauthammer.


Krauthammer: I thought Senator Rubio was the strongest of the candidates. Rand Paul made some good points, but it was Rubio who was presidential and solid in his reasoning. Another person who I don't think is getting enough attention is Jerry Moran. He's running as a social conservative, but he's principled and make his case without being offensive

Baier: Karl, your thoughts?


Rove: I agree with Charles. Rubio dominated the debate, but I wouldn't count out Rand Paul who has a strong connection with the GOP base. Rubio certainly is emerging as the establishment favorite and I could see this emerging as a race between the two.

Courpt Establishment media doesn't mention my name!

Sad!

But then again a revolution is coming!

(Sorry I just had to make a Trump like tweet)

In the race to succeed Barack Obama, the Democratic candidates crisscrossing the country visiting the important primary and caucus states of New Hampshire and Iowa, doing their utmost to earn support. Vice President Joe Biden, remains the Democratic favorite, but faces increasingly stiff competition from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

Nationally Joe Biden still leads, but his polling is soft in the early primary states, especially in Iowa and New Hampshire where both Sanders and Warren are polling strong.

Both Warren and Sanders are vying to be the liberal alternative to the Vice President. Both have scored some major endorsements.

Sanders receives the backing of Washington Governor Jay Inslee. A major boost for the Vermont as he has struggled to maintain credibility. Inslee, who is one of the most progressive governors in the country is planning to stump for Sanders in Iowa.

Sanders also received the backing of Former Senator Russ , due to beliefs on climate change, healthcare and campaign  finance. Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, the most liberal member of the Clinton administration and supportive of Sanders' economic agenda, calling "the only candidate of change!"

Lastly, the National Nurses United is backing Sanders, due to his support of single-payer healthcare

Vice President Biden's Recent Endorsers Include:

Sen Sherrod Brown of OH: "During my time in the Senate, I've seen how Biden has been a workhorse for the issues that really matter to the common man. If he keeps this up as President, then he'll be a great one."

Fmr. Sen. Sam Nunn of GA: "I know quite a lot about foreign policy, and I want a strong commander in chief. Thus, I can tell that when it comes to foreign policy, Biden is the strongest candidate no questions asked. He's been involved with it for 40+ years!"

Fmr. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "I always said that productivity beat ideology. It's clear in this race that the VP is the most results-oriented candidate out there. Because of that, he'd serve as the best President for all Americans."

Labor activist Dolores Huerta: "Never have I seen a candidate more kind to, and understanding of immigrants and laborers and their struggles. I endorse Joe Biden knowing he will protect immigrant and protect unions!"

Not to be outdone, Elizabeth Warren unveiled a new roaster of supporters:
Senators: Barbara Boxer, Debbie Stabenow, Jim McGovern, Amy Klobuchar,
Congressmen: Stephen Lynch and John Lewis.
Governor: Deval Patrick.

Congressman John Lewis called Elizabeth Warren, 'a progressive with backbone and the fight to go all the way'. Lewis, also called Warren the most progressive minded Democrat since Lyndon Johnson.

-Fundraising event at Southern Theatre in Columbus, Ohio
-Rally with voters at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, alongside Ohio Governor John Kasich who announces his endorsement to Senator Rubio :
()
You know, since 1964, the great state of Ohio has determined the winner of every presidential election. I decided to endorse Senator Marco Rubio because he has the best economic knowledge to grow the economy due to his membership in the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and in the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation and he has the best foreign policy knowledge and judgement to keep us safe reverse Barack Obama's terrible foreign policy record that brought ISIS, Russian dominance in Eastern Europe, a quasi-nuclear Iran and a stronger likeliness of an arms race on the Pacific. This is a record that Joe Biden is promoting as he runs for Obama's third term.

And I endorse Senator Rubio because he is the only Republican candidate in this race who can defeat the Democratic presidential nominee and win on November 2016. He has demonstrated his ability to attract ethnic minority voters, especially Hispanics, as well as young voters, and he will do it again as the nominee of our party. These are both groups we need in order to win the White House. By proposing tax cuts and regulation cuts for our manufacturing industry in order to keep manufacturing jobs in America and create further manufacturing jobs here while promoting free trade to ensure America's competitiveness in the world economy, Marco Rubio will help us to connect with working-class voters, including white working-class voters, thus helping our party to win Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, all states we did not win in the last 30 or 40 years.

[Applause]

Senator Rubio will be the most conservative Republican presidential nominee since Ronald Reagan : he is 100 % pro-life, he is a great defender of the right to own a gun and to ensure self-defense, he is a great champion of freedom of religion, he will promote school-choice to ensure education success for all of our kids, he will cut taxes for all the American people, from the bottom to the top, to give them a stronger purchasing power, he will get America to energy independence by increasing oil drilling and production and diversifying our economy, like I did here as Governor of Ohio, by using a part of revenues from oil to develop renewable energies and it will not be done with borrowed money but with earned money. Senator Rubio will promote free trade in order to get us new consumers around the world and to reduce tariffs, which will make trade easier and help us creating many good-paying jobs here in America, and he will champion businesses of all sizes by abolishing regulations and cutting taxes for business owners, which will prevent them from offshoring overseas and help them to grow, to expand, to innovate, to produce and to hire. Our national debt is now standing at almost 20 trillion dollars. Marco Rubio will balance the budget and reduce our national debt by cutting government spending as well as taxes and also through job creation because the more jobs we create, the more wages will increase and the more it will be easy to balance the budget and reduce the debt.

So with such a conservative Republican presidential nominee like Marco Rubio, all of our party supporters will go to the polls instead of staying home like some of them did in the previous two Election Days which, I think, partially hurt our previous two nominees. That's how we're going to win this election and finally get America back on track for a New American Century.

[Applause]

In addition, we almost never won the presidency without Florida, an important state that almost made Al Gore President in 2000 and is represented in the U.S. Senate by Marco Rubio.

Believe me, Marco Rubio is the one candidate that Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren don't want to face in the general election.

As Governor of the great state of Ohio, the bellwether of every presidential election, I will, during the primaries and in the general election, help Marco Rubio to win Ohio, the state that will make him the next President of the United States of America. He will defend our values, ensure America's permanent economic prosperity through free market solutions, he will keep us safe through a stronger military, stronger diplomacy and stronger alliances and he will keep our country together. All of these are elements of a New American Century.

Thank you, God bless Ohio and God bless the United States of America.

()

Well, first of all, I have respect for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but they are adopting European ideas, Swedish ideas that give the government the chance to grab even more of our people's liberty and destroy our hard-earned livelihood that came from hard work of the American people. I know what hard work means because I lived it as well as the American Dream and I was raised paycheck to paycheck.

But in the Democratic primaries, we've got two candidates who say that we should be more like Sweden. We don't want to be Sweden. We want to be the United States of America.

[Applause from the audience]

I've got nothing against Sweden, but I believe in the values that make America an exceptional nation : capitalism, free market and opportunity for all. By withdrawing from trade deals, like Sanders and Warren are suggesting, our competitiveness in the international market will be weaken. There is a way to promote it while keeping manufacturing jobs here in the United States : cutting taxes and regulations for manufacturing businesses in order to make sure that manufacturing workers will decide that America is the best place in the world to work, to open a manufacturing business and to create manufacturing jobs. That's my agenda. Energy independence will come through increased oil drilling that will not only ensure massive job creation but also give us the necessary revenues to develop renewable energies.

And unlike Joe Biden and myself, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren seem to be struggling among ethnic minority voters.

And when it comes to Bernie Sanders, he is running as a Democrat and yet he is opposing gun control while most of the Democratic base is supporting gun control and a violation of the Second Amendment. But I am proud of Bernie Sanders' support to the Second Amendment and the right for self defense.

[Laughs and applause from the audience]

So if Senator Sanders is my opponent in the general election, I think that many traditional supporters of gun control will either stay home instead of going to the polls on Election Day or change allegiance, which, I think, is another factor that will help me to beat Bernie Sanders in the general election.

[Applause from the audience]

New Hampshire's local communities have the highest property taxes in America, which is making New Hampshire residents struggling to find a home here and to earn a fair chance like any other American. So we have to reduce the size of government and cut taxes, including property taxes, to allow our people, including the people of New Hampshire to find a home, to earn property, to earn a fair chance to prosper and to live the American Dream.

Stephen Percy speaks in New York in Trump towers

I have respect Senator Sanders in all but my problem is with him and Senator Warren is there socialism ideas which is not a good idea.

Hitler was a socalist, Stalin was a socalist and Fidel Castro were socialists and look how they turned out

Now I am not comparing Bernie Sanders to Hitler I don't think he is that that evil and don't think he has any racist ideas  What I want to say is Captialism is the way to go and when I am President I will be the one to defend and bring back Free Market values to Amercia

*Crowd cheers and claps*


Free Market Values is what our country was founded on but it seems like we have stop doing that and start promoting  corporateism aka crony Captialism.


And for a homage to Adam Smith  let the  invisible hand do its magic.

-Rally with voters at the Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, where Mike Huckabee is announcing his endorsement to Senator Rubio :
()
I've known Marco Rubio for many years. Even though I was Governor of Arkansas, I have a residence in his home state of Florida. When I ran for President in 2008, Marco Rubio, who was at that time Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, endorsed my campaign and actively campaigned for me. Now I'm returning the favor by announcing that I endorse Marco Rubio to be the next President of the United States.

He is a constitutional conservative who will protect the Constitution of the United States as well as our values. He will defend the Second Amendment and the right to own a gun to ensure self-defense and fight abortion by defunding Planned Parenthood, thus balancing the budget and making sure that every unborn child will earn the right and the chance to live. Marco Rubio will repeal Obamacare and replace it by a free market version that will lower the size of government, reduce regulations and reduce the cost of health services, which will make healthcare more available for all Americans.

As President, he will protect the First Amendment that is promoting the right to peaceably assemble, the right to petition, freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of religion. These are all rights that are threatened by terrorists in the Middle East who are committing genocides against local Christian populations, the Kurdish people, etc. And now the Obama administration reached an agreement that lifted sanctions against Iran, which will allow Tehran to get the revenues from the lifting of these sanctions to support international terrorism and to develop nuclear weapons that will destroy Israel and all its enemies. This will be a genocide against the Jewish people. We can't tolerate this. That's why we need Marco Rubio to be elected as the 45th President of the United States. He will restore economic and diplomatic sanctions against Iran to stop deprive Tehran of the revenues needed to build nuclear weapons and to sponsor terrorism. He will reinforce our alliances and our military to make us able to defeat ISIS and international terrorism. It will not only keep us safe but also defend democracy, justice and freedom of religion.

Thank you. God bless America.

-Health care policy speech in Janesville, Iowa, where Senator Rubio unveils his healthcare plan :
()
To help more of our people achieve the American Dream, we need to make affordable, quality healthcare accessible in the 21st century. Unfortunately, President Barack Obama’s one-size-fits-all, big government approach has failed to achieve this goal. Since ObamaCare’s passage, many Americans have seen the law transition from a political mess to a personal disaster. Some have lost access to their doctors or the insurance plans they were happy with. Many have been forced to pay higher premiums and higher deductibles. Others have lost their jobs or had their hours cut. And the American economy as a whole has labored under the negative effects of Obamacare’s $1.2 trillion tax hike.

A law that was sold on the claim that it would lower healthcare costs has instead caused them to dramatically increase for many American families. Now, a new IRS regulation could force small businesses to pay fines of over $36,000 per employee per year if they choose to make a financial contribution to their employees’ health coverage.

ObamaCare is fatally flawed not just because it is poorly constructed, but because it relies on the outdated philosophy that the federal government can solve our problems through more spending, more taxes, more regulations, and more bureaucrats. The American people have been forced to be the test subjects of President Obama’s one-size-fits-all, big-government experiment, and have paid dearly for it.

For all of these reasons and more, I have fought against ObamaCare since I got to the U.S. Senate. I led the charge to stop its taxpayer-funded bailouts of the insurance industry and, fortunately, was successful in blocking them from taking place this year. But more must be done, and when I am president, repealing and replacing ObamaCare will be an urgent priority of my administration. Instead of relying on an outdated, big-government approach, I will utilize modern, consumer-centered reforms that lower costs, embrace innovation in healthcare and actually increase choices and improve quality of care.

My health care reform plan includes three primary components :

First, I will work with Congress to create an advanceable, refundable tax credit that all Americans can use to purchase health insurance. The value of these credits should increase every year, and we should set the tax preference for employer-sponsored insurance on a glide path to ensure that it will equal the level of the credits within a decade. This will prevent large-scale disruptions and reform a provision in our tax code that has been driving up health costs, hurting those who are self-employed and preventing Americans from having truly portable health insurance plans that travel with them regardless of where they work.

Second, I will reform insurance regulations to lower costs, encourage innovation, and protect the vulnerable. Those with pre-existing conditions should have access to affordable care through mechanisms such as federally-supported, actuarially-sound and state-based high risk pools. Americans should be able to purchase coverage across state lines so they can seek out affordable coverage regardless of where they live. And consumer-centered products like Health Savings Accounts should be encouraged and expanded. Finally, under no circumstances should taxpayers be asked to bail out an insurance company that loses money, as is currently the case under ObamaCare.

Third, I will take up the difficult work of saving and strengthening Medicare and Medicaid by placing them on fiscally-sustainable paths. Without reforms, these programs will eventually run out of money. We must move Medicaid into a per-capita block grant system, preserving funding for its recipients while freeing states from Washington mandates. While current seniors on Medicare, like my mother, should see no changes to the program, future generations should be transitioned into a premium support system. A premium support model will empower seniors with choice and market competition just like Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D already do.

While other measures may be necessary to undo the damage done by ObamaCare, I believe these three concepts are the core of a plan to lower costs and put patients and families back in control of their healthcare decisions. Unlike ObamaCare, my reforms will not be forced through Congress in the dark of night without accountability. They will not stretch the Constitution to its breaking point or rely on questionable Supreme Court decisions to survive. And, perhaps most importantly, they will not raise taxes on the American people.

Obamacare’s failures should be all the proof Washington needs that the time has come for a new direction—one that empowers the American consumer, expands choices, and reduces the role of the federal government in healthcare. It’s time to set a new precedent in Washington by sending a new president to Washington. I believe I have the experience and vision necessary to improve our healthcare system and make this the next American century.

Stephen Percy on Social Media

I think Senator Warren took my quotes out of context.  I did not mean to compare you and Senator Sanders to ruthless dictators what I was saying is that the idea of socialism lends itself to brutal dictators. And I apologize if I did but still I was just making a point.

Percy town hall in Cailfornia about the economy August 11th 2015

I see people who get confused about my views on trade saying that I don't want free trade and fully wants Tariffs. And I say to that they are completely wrong. 

I am all for free trade but what we have now TPP, NAFTA and WTO is only free trade in name.  They only help corporations at the top and working class factories get moved to Mexico or China.

As President I will strip back from these deals and find a way to find a way to make separate and individual trade deals with countries rather than just a group of them in a way where tariffs don't increase and that working class and small businesses get rewarded not top corporations.

*The crowd claps*

Excuse me. How is this that Warren's schedule for this round goes to August 31 instead of August 16?

I was under the impression we were doing all of August this turn... I'll fix it.

-Foreign policy speech at Marine Corps Air Station Beach in Beaufort, South Carolina, in reaction to the terrorist attack committed by ISIS in Suruç, Turkey :
()
Two weeks ago, ISIS attacked one of our most strategic allies in our fight against terrorism : Turkey. A suicide bombing attack committed by ISIS killed 34 people and injured 104 others in Suruç. Then, Turkey decided to take real action against ISIS by leading airstrikes against this terrorist group. They are not alone because we are fighting ISIS along with them. Despite differences between Turks, Kurds and Sunnis, I think the strategy has to involve more coordination with the Kurds and also with Sunnis, because you're not going to defeat ISIS, a radical Sunni movement, without a robust anti-ISIS Sunni coalition. That's why we need to arm pro-American Kurd and Sunni fighters in order to help them fighting radical Islamic terrorists more effectively. So, I do think it's important tactical step forward. It needs to be backed up with increased airstrikes and so forth.

It's through stronger American leadership, stronger American military and stronger alliances that we will defeat ISIS and other radical Islamic terrorist groups. Radical terrorist groups are not just in Syria and in Iraq, ISIS is now in Libya. They have a significant presence in Libya, Afghanistan, and a growing presence in Pakistan. Soon they will be in Turkey. They will try Jordan. They will try Saudi Arabia. They are coming to us. They don't hate us simply because we support Israel. They hate us because of our values. They hate us because our girls go to school. They hate us because women drive in the United States. They hate us because we support freedom of religion and freedom of speech. So we don't have a choice. Either they win or we win.

Thank you. God bless America.

I am proud to be chairing at the House Benghazi Committee, thus making a contribution to integrity, justice and security.

I am so glad that Hillary Clinton didn't run because she was already disqualified to be President. But even then, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have failed to restore freedom and security in Libya after Qaddafi's fall. Libya is in chaos. Hillary Clinton is accountable for this and much more. Her dereliction of duty and failure to keep her people safe played a major role in the horrific Islamic terrorist murders on September 11-12, 2012 in Benghazi which claimed the lives of four brave Americans. For political reasons, the Obama administration lied about the purpose of the attacks, including their lying directly to the families of those who were killed. Hillary Clinton's answer to Congress about the death of these four brave Americans because of her failures as Secretary of State was "what difference at this point does it make?" It makes the difference that America's leadership and security are in danger and that the Obama administration, including Joe Biden, don't have the courage to fix this situation.

As President, Marco Rubio will do the exact opposite of what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton did. He will, without hesitation, call the enemy by his name : radical Islamic terrorism. He will reinforce our security measures, modernize our military and strengthen our alliances, which will allow us to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism and to save American lives here and abroad.

Thank you, God bless our brave ambassadors and God bless America.

Since three decades, China is imposing the one-child policy to the Chinese people, which is limiting the number of children per family and increased the number of abortions. These policies have been criticized for violating the human right of determining the size of one's own family. I believe it's a reason why abortion should not be tolerated in the United States.

Abortion is murder. It really is as simple as that, ending the life of a child is not an acceptable consequence for you making bad sexual decisions. This is something I find outrageous : Democrats support regular abortion as well as partial birth abortion where the baby can be halfway out of the womb and the mother can still decide that she doesn’t want it and the doctor smashes in the skull of the child and vacuums out its brain. Abortion is one of the reasons that I am so proud to be a conservative.

()

Marco Rubio has the best experience and leadership to grow the U.S. Economy and has always opposed every form of measure including tax increases. As President, he will cut taxes for all the American people, thus reinforcing their American Dream, he will cut taxes and regulations for businesses, including small businesses, which will increase their ability to start, to grow, to expand, to produce and to create jobs. That's why we are proud to give our endorsement to Marco Rubio for the sake of a stronger freedom, a stronger economy and a stronger prosperity.

Interview with Don Lemon on CNN about foreign policy

Lemon:Your foreign policy plans are different than most of the GOP candidates in this race.

Percy:Yeah why?

Lemon:Senator Rubio compare it to President Obama

Percy:*laughs* Oh really. President Obama and his cabinet are funding people we don't know about in Syria and these people I fully believe are at least have ties with ISIS who are the ones that's Assad is going against. I don't think Assad is a good guy but he at least gets the enemy we are going for in ISIS.

I see him as a  necessary evil and as president I will not try to overthrow a government based on lies.

Lemon:That seems off the wall
 

Percy:To you maybe but I have supporters  dedicated ones who are Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who understand conflict and know what it's like.

I had a Iraq vet come to me in a Nevada town hall and say to me I fought for lies and that he had no business being there and thought he was just fighting to stay alive.

Lemon:Alright well we only have time left for your closing comments

Percy:Ok what I am saying here is these past proxy wars have had made their countries worse and more towards a theocracy than a secular government. So what I am saying is in a Percy administration that there will be no more of these wars and that we will only get into conflicts if we have to.

Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts a T.V. ad about Rubio's plan to create economic opportunities for Hispanics.

The ad titled « Hispanics for Prosperity » airs in Nevada, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New York and New Mexico both in English and Spanish.

« Hispanics for Prosperity » advertisement narration (English version) :

The Obama Administration has been ineffective when it comes to ensure permanent job creation for the American people, including Hispanics. We need to give Hispanics the opportunity to learn English while maintaining their language and cultural heritage in order to open up economic opportunities for them, because I believe we should not close these opportunities for any of our fellow citizens because their first language is another one than English. School choice will give positive results to Hispanics : lower education costs for families, including immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, production of higher outcomes, in contrast to public education. It allow parents guide their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and grant them better education elsewhere. It will expand opportunities for low-income students—notably minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to high-income families, thus giving them a fair chance of success and an easier path to the workforce.

()()

By promoting free trade with Latin America, we will give our businesses, including Hispanic small businesses in the United States thanks to language opportunities and their fluency in Spanish and English, new opportunities to innovate, to increase their competitiveness, to get new consumers by giving them access to American products, to create jobs in our country and ensure their business' expansion. Thanks to their bilingualism, Hispanics will be dominant among the importers, exporters, translators and executives who ensure such a cultural and commercial exchange. And like I said, our innovation and competition capacity comes from our open markets as well as our constant quest for new markets.

()

Thanks to my pro-growth agenda to open economic opportunities for Hispanics and create jobs for them, this large community will earn the same opportunities as any other American, because America is the land where everything is possible for all Americans from the bottom to the top.

I'm Marco Rubio and I approve this message.

« Los hispanos para la prosperidad » advertisement narration (Spanish version) :

El Obama Administración ha sido ineficaz a la hora de crear puestos de trabajo para el pueblo estadounidense, incluyendo a los hispanos. Tenemos que dar a los hispanos la oportunidad de aprender Inglés, manteniendo su lengua y su patrimonio cultural con el fin de abrir nuevas oportunidades económicas para ellos, porque creo que no debemos cerrar estas oportunidades para cualquiera de nuestros conciudadanos, ya que su primer idioma es otro que Inglés. La elección de escuela dará resultados positivos a los hispanos: los costos de educación más bajos para las familias, incluyendo las familias de inmigrantes de cheque a cheque, la producción de los resultados más altos, por el contrario viven a la educación pública. Se permite a los padres a guiar a sus hijos de las escuelas-funcionando mal asignados por el código postal y les otorgan una mejor educación en otros lugares. Se ampliará las oportunidades para los estudiantes -en particular las minorías de bajos ingresos, para asistir a escuelas de alta calidad que de otro modo sólo será accesible a las familias de altos ingresos, lo que les da una oportunidad razonable de éxito y un camino más fácil a la fuerza de trabajo.

()()

Al promover el libre comercio con América Latina, vamos a dar a nuestros negocios, incluyendo las pequeñas empresas hispanas en los Estados Unidos gracias a las oportunidades de idiomas y su fluidez en español e inglés, nuevas oportunidades para innovar, para aumentar su competitividad, para llegar a nuevos consumidores, dando a tener acceso a los productos estadounidenses, para crear puestos de trabajo en nuestro país y garantizar su expansión. Gracias a su bilingüismo, los hispanos será dominante entre los importadores, los exportadores, los traductores y los ejecutivos que garanticen un intercambio, cultural y comercial. Y como he dicho, nuestra capacidad de innovación y la competencia proviene de nuestros mercados abiertos, así como nuestra constante búsqueda de nuevos mercados.

()

Gracias a mi agenda pro-crecimiento para abrir oportunidades económicas para los hispanos y crear puestos de trabajo para ellos, esta gran comunidad ganará las mismas oportunidades que cualquier otro americano, porque Estados Unidos es la tierra donde todo es posible para todos los estadounidenses de abajo hacia arriba.

Soy Marco Rubio y apruebo este mensaje.

Jerry Moran Campaign Ad

Ad titled "Fight to Win" airs in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia and Minnesota.

Jerry Moran speaking directly to camera:
You know, I visit with American voters all the time and the most common conversations I have these days is not about the price of gas or a grant for a local business. They say, "Jerry, I'm worried about the future of our country. What is it going to be like for my kids and grandkids?" There is an anger, a frustration, a genuine fear about where our nation is headed. About politics, really about politicians who have let us down.

Why have we let the insiders, those who are happy with the status quo, take the front seat? While our Conservative values: changing course, stopping the president taken the backseat.

You know for me public service has never ever been about going to Washington D.C. to make friends with the power brokers or the ambitious title seekers. I fly back to the capital to stand against those who spend recklessly, surrender continually and tax repeatedly. And I've done that not just with this president but also my own party who have retreated from our values. But we still have an awful lot of work to do. The stakes for our children and grandchildren couldn't be higher. That's why I'm running for president of the United States.

And I'll be clear about this, we don't do this for a title, we don't do this for a sign on a door that says United States president. Rather its a belief that we can and must return America to a country that is different and better than it is today. You and I have have been asked to do something with our lives that truly makes a difference. To rise to a higher calling, we know this is calling, its something we feel down deep inside us.

It is the demand that is on us as American citizens, as Conservatives. We can't look the other way, can't turn it over to somebody else and can't quit. So today I am asking you to stand with me, to not quit and to double those efforts not just merely to continue the fight but to win it.

I'm Jerry Moran and I approve this message.

Interluded with text describing endorsements and major campaign promises such as ending the filibuster, defunding Planned Parenthood, opposition to amnesty, opposition to the ACA, battling Obama on Gitmo and endorsement of two of the largest pro-life groups in the country.

STEPHEN PEARCY CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL THAT AIRS NATIONO

*A screen appears*

So why do people support Percy's economic plan?


Person 1:Cause his plan for balance budgets and flat tax reform will make the economy boom and help middle class voters like me.

Person 2:I think he will be very bipartisan  and I believe he will work well along with Republicans and Democrats to get whatever he wants.

Person 3:He actually cares for the working class and wants to help it and doesn't want to do that to Goldman Sachs and Wall Street

Person 4:His economic plan is the most conservative since Ronald Reagan. Yes I went there.

Person 5:Cause he wants to freeze spending on the NSA  and use that money to get us to Mars

Those are just a few. Are you one?

I'm Stephen Percy and I approve this message.

-Mayor De Blasio will be stumping for Sanders in New York City, as well as organising the campaign in the state

Summary: Sanders largely focused on organising his campaign over the two weeks, building his campaign in Nevada, Wisconsin and South Carolina, where he conducted another bus tour through to the state to meet with voters. Sanders also received the formal endorsements of Russ Feingold, Robert Reich and Jay Inslee, which he hopes will give him credit among mainstream Democrats. The end of the week also brought a pleasant surprise as National Nurses United, the largest nurses' union in the US, endorsed Sanders for President.

PERCY SPEAKS IN 4 MAIN STATES IN ONE DAY AND STARTS HIS GOTV Opernation
MSNBC.com

Despite a dropback in the polls Stephen Percy still isn't slowing down. Percy campaigned in the morning in Iowa in Des Monies to local farmer unions while heading to campaign with his daughter Jewel in South Carolina about tax reform in Myrtle Beach in the afternoon.

In the wee hours of the afternoon Percy campaigned on the border of Cailforina and Nevada in Carson City with his wife  Melissa Percy about Healthcare.

And at night he campaigned in New Hampshire about in a session about balancing the budget and legalizing marijuana.

His supporters compared him to the Energizer Bunny saying he keeps going and going as the day goes on.

()
(Percy campaigning in New Hampshire)

Another thing Percy got out there was his GOTV operations which will be helped by his family and his die hard supporters to get out and vote in the primaries.

I guess the next round starts tonight.

BTW does my last turn count?

Correct!

This round will run through end of August and then we'll move ahead to early Dec.

Does my last Percy turn work?

Yes!

Republicans Primary

The Republican Primary saw some movement this week: Marco Rubio, continues to lead as the front runner, netting some major endorsements including, Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz and Kelly Ayotte, but other candidates Jerry Moran and Steve Percy, showed they are looking to be more than asterisks in the 2016 race.

First, Moran began blitzing the airwaves with a message brandishing his conservative credentials and aimed at voters in the early primary states, especially in Iowa, where Moran has seen an uptick in support. For Moran a win in Iowa is essential to the viability of his presidential hopes, and his conservative message seems to have the most resonance in the first Caucus state.

Moran received a major boost by finishing third in the Iowa Straw Poll, conducted during the Iowa State Fair. While not as publicized as the former GOP Straw Poll - Moran's showing, ahead of Rand Paul gives him some new talking points and signs that his campaign is gaining ground.

Next, Steve Percy received the endorsement of Donald Trump. Trump, who called the long-shot candidate 'who will make America great again'. Pundits and experts still give Percy little chance at winning the Republican nomination, but the outsider is determined to make a splash and outlast all his opponents. Percy did make a splash, like Moran in the Iowa Straw Poll. He finished a surprising second, behind Marco Rubio.

Last, Senator Rand Paul, who is seen by many as the "Anti-Rubio" candidate, with many predicting the race will ultimately narrow down to those two. However, for Paul, despite his second place showing in national polls has failed to find his footing thus far. Paul's campaign continues to make the rounds, crisscrossing the country, but so far his strongest bench of support is found in New Hampshire. A new WMUR poll finds him ahead with 38%.

New Endorsements:

Jerry Moran:
All 4 Kansas House members. Kevin Yoder, Lynn Jenkins, Ron Estes, Tim Huelskamp.

Reps: Paul Ryan, Ben Carson, Kevin McCarthy, Gov. Sam Brownback, Gov. Greg Abbott, John Former Gov. Engler.

American Farm Bureau Federation

Marco Rubio:
Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts Governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee, should endorse Marco Rubio due to his economic credibility as a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and as a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, which gives him the best experience to create jobs.

Tommy Franks, retired general, endorses Marco Rubio due to shared support to a stronger American leadership on the international stage.

Rick Scott, Governor of Florida, endorses Marco Rubio because they are both from Florida and due to shared views on economic, social and foreign policy issues.

Steve King, Iowa Congressman, endorses Marco Rubio due to shared views on economic, social and foreign policy issues.

Ted Cruz, Texas Senator and former 2016 presidential candidate, endorses Marco Rubio due to shared views on economic and social issues and also due to their shared opposition to abortion at every circumstance.

Tommy Franks, retired general, endorses Marco Rubio due to shared support to a stronger American leadership on the international stage.

Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire Senator, endorses Marco Rubio due to shared views on free trade and foreign policy issues and their shared intentions to keep guns away from terrorists and from suspected terrorists.

Joe Heck, Nevada Congressman and Senatorial candidate,endorses Marco Rubio due to shared views on economic and foreign policy issues and also because Heck is ready to reverse Harry Reid's record of ineffectiveness as Senate leader and to pass Marco Rubio's laws if the Florida Senator becomes President.

Steve Percy:
Donald Trump, Alex Jones,Thomas Sowell and 50 Cent

Rand Paul
Former Director David Stockman of the Office of Management and Budget - David Stockman is described by many as a Libertarian, he already said good things about Rand Paul and agreed with him in foreign policy.

Former Representative and Libertarian Party Nominee, Bob Barr from Georgia - Bob Barr is a libertarian with some conservative leanings, he has ideas similar to Rand Paul in areas like the PATRIOT Act.

Democratic Primary

Senator Elizabeth Warren and Vice President Joe Biden remain the favorites for the Democratic nomination, as both racked unveiled big name endorsements as the month of August draws to a close.

Sen Sherrod Brown of OH: "During my time in the Senate, I've seen how Biden has been a workhorse for the issues that really matter to the common man. If he keeps this up as President, then he'll be a great one."

Fmr. Sen. Sam Nunn of GA: "I know quite a lot about foreign policy, and I want a strong commander in chief. Thus, I can tell that when it comes to foreign policy, Biden is the strongest candidate no questions asked. He's been involved with it for 40+ years!"

Fmr. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "I always said that productivity beat ideology. It's clear in this race that the VP is the most results-oriented candidate out there. Because of that, he'd serve as the best President for all Americans."

Labor activist Dolores Huerta: "Never have I seen a candidate more kind to, and understanding of immigrants and laborers and their struggles. I endorse Joe Biden knowing he will protect immigrant and protect unions!"

However, Warren too unveiled some big name endorsements: Gwen Graham, Kathleen Sebelius, Janet Napolitano, Gavin Newsom, Harry Reid, Joseph Kennedy III, and Caroline Kennedy.

Yet, as the two favorites compete for votes, Senator Bernie Sanders is proving all the star-power and infrastructure does not always translate into vote. The Vermont Senator has received some endorsements including Former Justice John Paul Stevens and Governor of California Jerry Brown. Even the band Green Day threw their support behind the self-described Democratic- socialist.

However the biggest boost for Sanders came when he won the Iowa Straw Poll by a huge margin, defying expectations. The straw poll did not receive much focus in the state this year, but Sanders' unexpected blowout win is sure to send shockwaves through the Democratic primary.

While Biden and Warren trade punches on Democratic policies, Bernie Sanders seems to be the one shaping the conversation. A political independent, Sanders has no ties to the Democratic Party, but his presence and ideas are driving the debate and forcing the Democrats to have a real discussion on their policies and party future. A long shot for the nomination, Sanders is seen by many to having the biggest impact on the race.

Thank you New Hampshire.

Time has come to put an end to a quarter-century of big government and to encourage free market and free enterprise in order to promote economic freedom, competitiveness and economic prosperity.

I spent 25 years in the private sector and I know what it takes to get small business growing, to create jobs and to make America working again to make it the best place in the world to open a new business. Marco Rubio lived the American Dream and he understands the meaning of hard-working. He's a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. He understands what it takes to grow the economy, to create jobs and to ensure permanent economic prosperity in America.

Marco Rubio lived the American Dream and he understands the meaning of hard-working. He's a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. He understands what it takes to grow the economy, to create jobs and to ensure permanent economic prosperity in America. That's why I endorse Senator Marco Rubio to be the next President of the United States.

[Applause from the audience]

He will do so by cutting taxes for all the American people and by leading us to energy independence through taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables. As President of the United States, Marco Rubio will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance. President Marco Rubio will make trade work for America by forging new trade agreements. Just like me, he knows that job creation will increase wages, which will help us to reduce our deficit and to balance the budget. President Rubio will champion businesses of all sizes, including small business, America's engine of job growth. He will reduce the cost of doing business in America, which will make America the best place in the world to start a new business.

He will defend with ardour America's status as the strongest economy in the world and he will restore the American Dream on the land of opportunity.

Thank you. God bless America.

I'm the wife of an Iraq War veteran and former A-10 pilot who flew combat missions in Iraq and fought terrorism with pure patriotism. Now he's the owner of a snow plow business here in Merrimack, creating jobs and pursuing happiness in his quest for the American Dream. I understand the values that make America a safe, strong and prosperous nation : strong national defense, solidarity, free market and opportunity. And I am proud to defend these values in the United States Senate alongside my colleague Marco Rubio.

Marco is the best candidate to grow make our economy strong and to make America's national security strong. He will cut taxes to allow a stronger purchasing power for all Americans and to help businesses to start, to expand, to create jobs and to succeed. By promoting oil drilling here in America and getting our country to energy independence, President Rubio will not only ensure job creation and American advantage on all of America's sources of energies but also deprive terrorists of the necessary revenues to organize terrorist attacks and deprive Iran of the necessary funds to develop nuclear weapons that would strike us, attack our allies and destroy Israel. By modernizing our military and strengthening our alliances, he will lead us to victory against radical Islamic terrorism. Marco Rubio has all the experience to accomplish this agenda and that's why I support him for the presidency of the United States.

Thank you. God bless you, God bless New Hampshire and God bless America.

When I became Governor of Massachusetts, 87 % of the legislators were Democrats. I did not demonize them and I didn't demagogue them. Time and time again, I brought Republicans and Democrats together in order to put partisanship aside and to get things done for the good of Massachusetts. Thanks to this leadership, I found common ground and balanced the budget four times without raising taxes and we provided health insurance for Massachusetts.

Now we have a chance to elect a President who will bring Republicans, Democrats and Independents together in order to get things done and ensure a bright future for America, but this time in Washington. Marco Rubio will get us to energy independence without hurting the environment by increasing oil drilling, using a part of oil revenues to invest into the development of renewable energies. We all know, no matter our party affiliation, that everyone should have access to education, which means reducing the cost of getting education. Marco Rubio knows this and that's why he will promote school choice which will cost families, including these immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, less and produce higher outcomes compared to public education. It will grant parents the power to orientate their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and look for better education elsewhere. It will expand opportunities for low-income students—especially minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to higher-income families, thus increasing their chances of success and of entry into the workforce.

That's why Marco Rubio will be the President of all Americans whether they are Republicans, Democrats or Independents just like I was Governor of all Massachusettsians.

Thank you, God bless the United States of America.

Senator, you finished second to Bernie Sanders in the Iowa straw poll, despite camping out there for two and half days. What happened?
Well, Senator Sanders clearly has a strong base of support behind him, and he'll be difficult to beat. But in both the Republican and the Democratic fields, the straw poll and caucus winner has not always gone on to win the nomination. I have every reason to believe I will emerge victorious at the end of the process.
On another topic, lately you've gotten into several scraps with Vice-President Biden about his record in the Senate. Do you believe this will help you?
I think it was David Axelrod who said that the longer you serve in the Senate, the more votes on hot-button issues you have. The Vice-President has cast a lot of votes on a lot of hot-button issues, and as a result he's going to have to answer for that. If he can, good for him, but if not, he's going to face a battle with Senator Rubio, Senator Paul or Senator Moran in the general, and they've all got far fewer weak points than he does.

Michael Bloomberg's endorsement of Vice-President Biden is more proof of his hypocrisy on financial issues! Bloomberg is a plutocrat worth over $47.5 billion, and he will spend to help Biden. I wonder how much this oligarch is going pay to buy our nomination, or the Presidency for his favored candidate?

Back in June, the Supreme Court upheld the right of voters to remove legislatures from the process of redistricting and appoint independent commissions to do the job. Gerrymandering has led to abuses of map-making for partisan purposes in many states-just look at Texas, or North Carolina. I am proud to say the court came to right decision in this case.

-Foreign policy speech at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, in reaction to the start of Turkey's airstrikes against ISIS in Syria :
()
Here are great news in our fight against radical Islamic terrorism : Turkey joined us in this fight and started airstrikes against ISIS in Syria. Since Turkey is a NATO member, I feel like it is a step in the right direction towards our NATO allies' participation with the United States and the coalition against ISIS because it's a common goal and because we need to defeat ISIS everywhere, from the sky and on the ground.

If you look around the world at the challenges we face, we are going to have to work together with Muslims who are not radicals. We're going to have to work with the Jordanian kingdom. We're going to have to work with the Saudis. We're going to have to work with the Gulf kingdoms. We're going to have to work with the Egyptians to defeat ISIS. It will take a Sunni Arab movement to defeat radical Islamic terrorism. That's why we need to arm the Kurds in order to reinforce their ability to fight ISIS. We are going to have to work with people of the Muslim faith even as Islam itself faces a serious crisis within it of radicalization.

So when I'm President of the United States, I will, during my attendance at my first NATO summit as President, make sure that our NATO allies will join us and our Arab allies in our fight against ISIS and to adopt a combat role in this campaign like we are doing, which will send a great and strong message of unity in the fight against terrorism and ensure our victory against radical Islamic terrorism and ensure the survival of peace, freedom, security, and justice.

Either terrorists win, or we win.

Thank you. God bless the United States of America.

-Economic policy speech at North Eastern Strategic Alliance headquarters in Florence, South Carolina :
()
Unless we embrace free market policies, we are going to be witnessing weaker and weaker economic growth in this country and even a worse economic downturn than in 2008.

The North Eastern Strategic Alliance's objective to develop our industry base and to create and recruit new companies in the nine counties of the East of South Carolina represents a great example of the importance of championing businesses nationwide and ensuring tax reform reducing corporate taxes to 25 %. By cutting taxes for business owners, we will stop our businesses' offshoring and keep jobs here in America and increase our entrepreneurs' ability to create more jobs and capital investment within existing industry base. That way, the cost of doing business in America will be lower, which will motivate businesses to move here in America. Free trade will lower tariffs, those making imports and exports less expansive, ensure our companies' expansion and create new jobs in America through the obtainment of new consumers in the world. Energy independence will make us able to produce more American energies, which requires reinforcing oil production, make our cars' less expansive and boost our automotive industry. More American cars will be built and bought thanks to a stronger purchasing power. Education system reform and school choice will give a chance of success and of adherence to the workforce for every American and create the jobs of tomorrow.

My economic plan will increase our GDP rate to 4 % and give us long-term prosperity and full employment.

Thank you! God bless America!

()
As a proud patriot, I am proud to have led the fight against terrorism in Afghanistan during which we restored democracy and strengthened security in this nation that was a heaven of radical Islamic terrorism. This fight contributed to the death of the perpetrator of the worst attack America suffered in his 240 years of history :Osama Bin Laden.

But our job to ensure international security and to defeat radical Islamic terrorism is yet to be accomplished. ISIS emerged because of our withdrawal from Iraq and is expanding its empire across the Middle East, slaying innocent populations and threatening liberty. Marco Rubio will do everything it takes to destroy ISIS : strengthening our military, striking ISIS on its ground and building great and strong coalitions with our European and Middle Eastern allies. He will stop North Korea from triggering a nuclear war by reinforcing our presence on the Pacific, establishing an anti-missile shield there and by creating a NATO-like military organization, but this time between the United States and its allies around the Pacific, which will increase pression on North Korea, help restoring territorial integrity on the Pacific and help our allies defeating terrorism, especially in the Philippines and Indonesia. Marco Rubio has all the foreign policy knowledge, experience, judgement and leadership to effectively face our national security challenges and keep America safe.

That is why, as a proud patriot, I endorse Marco Rubio, our next commander-in-chief, for the sake of international peace, freedom and security.
