[Enderman]

Ahem, that would be Duncan Hunter Jr., Dudehere. None the less he sounds pretty awesome. Serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, even getting a Sea Service Deployment Ribbon! Definitely sounds like a great guy for the Cabinet. The Presidency? Maybe not, but don't count the Veep position out of the question. Also...

Go Rubio!

July 18, 2027 - GOP hopefuls hold first debate



MANCHESTER, NH - the candidates seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2028 held their first primary debate. Here are some memorable quotes from the event:

"In the U.S. Senate, I worked hard with President Christie to cut taxes, reform our education system, and reform our broken health care system. As Governor, I've reduced state spending, reduced our debt, and did it without raising taxes. I'm running for President because I believe the people of this country deserve a President who will fight for free markets and a strong national defense. I believe in the promise of this country, and I think we need a President who is committed to issues like tax relief and reform, a balanced budget, energy independence, and solving problems we still face in education" - Gov. Marco Rubio

"I believe that this primary gives republicans a clear choice. Governor Rubio and Senator Blunt are career politicians who have done some good things, but who have also strayed away from conservative values at time. Governor Rubio has supported amnesty for illegal aliens, and Senator Blunt has voted to increase government spending by $150 billion in the past year alone. I stand here, ready to fight for American exceptionalism as I always have, for free markets, and for traditional values" - Fmr. Secretary of State Liz Cheney

"This election is a referendum on liberalism. This President believes that by increasing federal subsidies to private organizations and promoting the appointment of left wing justices to federal courts, our country will be better off. I think that we'd be better off interpreting the constitution as it is written, and allowing free markets to work" - Rep. Kristi Noem

"For decades now, politicians in both parties have allowed for China to cheat on trade. They've allowed the federal Department of Education to expand. They've allowed our tax code to punish people for saving their own money. I believe it's time for a change in Washington, and I offer Americans the kind of change we all deserve" - Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr.

"I hear people saying this economy is strong. The fact of the matter is, for many Americans, this economy is working. But, for to many, it isn't. The story the media and the administration won't tell is the one where inner-city foreclosures are up by 32% over the past three years. They won't tell you people's incomes are beginning to fall again. Under President Christie, we saw incomes rise by an average of $815 per year. Last year, incomes fell by $400 - the first fall in income since 2018. I think our nation needs a President who will tell you the truth when it comes to the state of our economy" - Former Governor Rick Snyder

"I agree with Liz Cheney, we do have a choice in this election. In congress, I voted against amnesty for illegal aliens. Marco Rubio led the fight for amnesty. As a Governor, I've fought to cut taxes, I didn't just not raise them. Marco Rubio hasn't given a penny of tax relief to Florida taxpayers despite promising too. This is a choice between the republican establishment, represented by Governor Rubio, and tea party groups and grassroots activists who are joining my effort to throw our our current tax code, officially repeal Obamacare, and actually balance our federal budget" - Fmr. Gov. Mike Pence

"What the Republican Party needs is a uniter. I'll unite people behind a very straight forward agenda. It starts with education reform - more choice, more local control, and a smaller role for government. It continues with enforcing immigration laws, we've seen border security and some enforcement, but we can and need to do even more. It continues with a real plan to balance the budget by making tough, yet necessary choices. My agenda is a bold, conservative agenda. We'll win on this agenda in 2028" - Sen. Matt Blunt

"I believe that restoring individual liberty, free markets, and a humble foreign policy will be the job of the next President. The republican establishment will have you believe that going along to get along works. What has it gotten us? Washington politicians still control education, they still insist that we spend billions on foreign aid and overseas bases, and our tax code remains too complex. It's time for leadership that emphasizes liberty" - Sen. Ted Cruz

Part of that is going to new regulations on oil and natrual gas. At the same time, she has new health care mandates that falls upon state's to enforce, it's not working" Rubio said. The President hit back. "The reality is, we've expanded health care coverage to women, children, the elderly, and veterans. When I took office in 2025, our national debt was $13.7 trillion - today it's $12.9 trillion. We've paid for the spending we've done, and I will fight for pay-go legislation moving forward. By contrast, as Governor of Florida, Marco Rubio has borrowed $575 million even though no one in Florida has seen the tax relief he promised them when he ran for Governor" she stated.

In the Republican Presidential Primaries, Governor Marco Rubio remains the GOP front-runner, casting himself as the most electable Republican.

Senator Matt Blunt, running as the compromise candidate between the establishment and the right, began going negative on Rubio - accusing him of changing positions on illegal immigration and government spending for political reasons.

Since this President has taken office, growth has slowed from an average of 3.2% down to 2.9%, instead of 4 million jobs, we only have created 3.4 million, income has remained virtually flat, and for in 2027, for the first time in 8 years, those requiring food stamps grew - we brought the number down from 47 million to 31 million, they are back at 33.2 million today.

October 28, 2028 - Candidates Participate in Final Presidential Debate

"Over the past four years, it has been the honor to serve the American people. I am proud to say that in this era of prosperity, we have gotten things done. We've invested in more police on our streets, expanding health care access, education, green energy, and tax cuts for working families.

Fewer Americans are finding work today than were just one year ago. Family income didn't rise last year for the first time in a decade. For the first time in eight years, our country has seen month trade deficits. America can do better. I've proposed a tax cut plan which will grow our economy and make our tax code more fair.

August 1, 2031 - GOP candidates hold debate

"In Texas, I've managed to cut our state's debt in half while cutting taxes on capital gains. We've seen record test scores in our schools as a result of tenure reform, more school choice, and smaller class sizes thanks to local control. I believe that our country needs a President who is committed to restoring our nation's economy while also improving all of our schools. I believe that by encouraging a free market economy with lower taxes and fewer regulations, plus school choice and local control but with the support of the federal government, our country can renew it's promise to our people" - Gov. George P. Bush

"When Chris Christie was President, our country saw the creation of over 12 million new jobs and the largest reduction in government spending in decades. I'm proud to have been a leader in the fight for the Christie agenda. Today, our country faces a choice. We can continue on the failed policies of the past eight years, or we can move in a new direction in which we create economic growth through lower taxes, open markets, fewer regulations, and balanced budgets. I offer Americans the opportunity to move in that new direction" - Rep. Lynn Jenkins of Kansas

"For seven years, I fought for change in New York City. Our city saw a 33% reduction in unemployment, a 15% reduction in taxes, and a 39% reduction in crime. I took my record as a Mayor to the U.S. Senate where I fought for more police on our streets, and helped convince this President to reduce taxes on the middle class as opposed to just raising taxes on business. Today, our economy is in crisis. It takes tough, strong, determined leadership to grow our economy. My tax cut will help small businesses, and my approach is very simple: lower taxes to help create jobs, and let states have some of their money back so they can help people in their time of need" - Sen. Michael Grimm of New York

"President Gillibrand has ignored our failing economy, and has decided to instead focus all of her energy on taking away people's second amendment rights while putting in place energy policies which have halted reductions in imported oil. I've led the fight against the Gillibrand agenda in the U.S. Senate. I hope to be the nominee of our party so that together, we can fight for conservative values now and always" - Sen. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma

"I believe in the promise of America. Four years ago, you gave me the opportunity to be our party's nominee for President. I warned our nation about the failures of this administration and the need to change course. I'm asking you for your support this year because I believe what we proposed last time is even more important now. I have the experience to lead our country in an era of challenge. I'm asking for your confidence once again so we can create jobs while reducing our national debt" - Gov. Marco Rubio of Florida

"The path to victory for the republican party is to stand on principle. Washington needs to balance it's books, and politicians need to be accountable to the people. It's time to put partisan politics aside for the sake of our country. The democrats are the party of spending and taxing, we need to be the party of cutting and balancing. I am proud to be from the same state as one of our greatest Presidents, Chris Christie. Like Chris Christie, I have certain values, and I'll fight for those values. I hope you'll join me in the fight to change Washington" - Sen. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey

"I believe the republican party has to unite behind common goals. Opportunity for our people, and service above self. I've dedicated most of my life to public service. I've been an ambassador on various occasions, a Governor, a businessman, a teacher, and a United States Senator. I believe that a President must have both experience and judgement. On the issues, the voters know where I stand. I believe that the way to growth is through green energy, a flatter tax code, and focusing on our infrastructure, not the infrastructure of nation's thousands of miles away" - Sen. Jon Huntsman Jr.

October 15, 2031 - Democrats Hold Debate

"I've spent my life in public service, bringing people together to achieve challenges people said were impossible. In New Jersey, I invested money in education and infrastructure without raising property taxes or borrowing more money. You see, the power of unity brings all of our people together. That's how I'll work to increase education funding and demand greater accountability, cut taxes on working families, raising our minimum wage again, and ban assault weapons" - FMR. Gov. Cory Booker

"Americans want a President who has the experience to lead. In New York, I have dealt with issues which effect the economy and security of not only all New Yorkers, but all Americans. Americans also want a leader of conviction. I have always stood for the principles of equality and opportunity, and I'll never back down. As President, my top priorities will be to provide every child in America with quality health care, cut taxes on working families, and grow our economy by expanding our markets and reforming our tax code. If your ready for change, I'm ready to lead" - Gov. Chelsea Clinton

"Over the past eight years, President Gillibrand has led our country in the right direction. She's cut taxes on working families, raised the minimum wage, enacted tough new gun control laws, and she's managed to freeze the rate of government spending. I'm proud to have led the fight for these policies in the united states senate. The question for our party now is, do we continue on the progress of the past eight years, or do we ignore the progress? I believe our party and our country deserve leadership that confronts challenges using proven policies" - Sen. Michael Bennett

"As our economy slows and the likelihood of a balanced budget diminishes, it's time for us democrats to ask ourselves, are Americans better off today than they were four years ago? Most people would say they are worse off. The way to prosperity is clear: competing in the global economy through trade, balance the federal budget, cut taxes on small business, and invest in education. I believe the next four years can, and must be better than the past four. This President has taken her eye off the ball game as it relates to the economy, and my focus will be on creating good paying jobs for our citizens" - Sen. Harold Ford Jr.

"When you go to the polls, I'm asking you to ask yourself: who on this stage represents the democratic party? I have a 100% pro-choice voting record and have been fighting to make sure marriage equality remains the law in Illinois. I've raised the minimum wage and signed tough new gun laws into effect. I've provided health care to more of our poor, and did it by asking wealthier citizens of my state to pay 15% more in income taxes. Cory Booker and Chelsea Clinton both had their chances to fight for these policies, and both of them have failed. I've succeeded" - Gov. Rahm Emanuel

"I believe our party has a good field of candidates in this election. Each of us will fight for greater access to health care, raising the minimum wage, cutting taxes on working families, and investing in education and infrastructure. The question is, who can win in 2032? I believe my backround in law enforcement and in the U.S. Senate gives me a diverse amount of knowledge. I've led and legislated. I've been in the private and public sectors. I believe I have the experience needed to lead this country, and I can win this election" - Sen. Beau Biden

November 18, 2031 - Campaigning in New Hampshire, Clinton touts moderate record
MANCHESTER, NH - Campaigning in New Hampshire, Governor Chelsea Clinton told voters she was the most electable democrat in the race for President because of her moderate views and record. "When the going was tough, I fought for progressive principles. I raised the minimum wage, put in place tough environmental standards, and fought to reform New York's campaign finance system. But, I also have a record which transcends party lines. I fought for civil service pension reform, capped the growth in state spending on 77% of our budget items, and I stood up and signed a tax cut on small business in New York" Clinton said.

November 19, 2031 - Bush questions Clinton record

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

Job growth is the slowest in 17 years, and over 400,000 Americans lost work last year. The foreclosure rate has hit a 20 year high. It's time for a new direction for our economy. We need to reduce taxes and reform our broken tax code, repeal many of the costly regulations of the past eight years, not only balance the budget and hold the line on spending, but we need to cut spending to renew confidence in the United States. We need to build a stronger economy through embracing the free market" - Gov. Pat Toomey (R-PA)

August 4, 2032 - Bush accepts Presidential Nomination

"We seek an America where we are all united. We believe the best way to grow an economy is through the free market, not through government. In Texas, I cut taxes and reduced the size of our state's government. We also believe in an America where every child has the skills for an ever changing workforce. In Texas, I increased school choice, reformed tenure, and allowed local communities to make decisions in education. Washington has failed America. Today, many struggle to find work. Our schools are failing too many. Many of our citizens lack the health care coverage they need. It's time for a change, and change begins with us working together for common goals" - Gov. George P. Bush (R-TX)

August 12, 2032 - Booker gives DNC keynote address

"Over the past eight years, we've had a President who has embraced important ideas which have helped renew America's promise. For the first time in literally decades, we passed increased gun control, expanded health care coverage, an increase in the minimum wage, and tax cuts for working families. We believe in these ideas, and I know we want to build on these ideas over the next eight years" - Fmr. Gov. Cory Booker (D-NJ)

August 14, 2032 - Biden accepts Vice Presidential Nomination

"Chelsea Clinton and I want to help get America back to work. We applaud the efforts of the current administration to handle the recession, but we want to take the next steps to grow our economy. We can do so by investing in alternate energy, tax credits for small business, and by sending money back to states. Our opponents believe that cutting taxes for the wealthy and de-regulating Wall Street will solve all of our problems. We've tried their approach before, and it hasn't worked" - Sen. Beau Biden (D-DE)

August 15, 2032 - Clinton accepts Presidential Nomination

"I know how to lead because I've led for the past six years in New York. I cut taxes, invested in education, expanded health care to the poor, raised the minimum wage, and reduced state debt by enacting pension and benefit reform. My opponent and I have differing ideas about how to grow our economy. His ideas come from the perspective that if Wall Street and the wealthy are okay, everyone else will be okay. I believe that small business is the key to economic growth. His values are Wall Street values, mine are Main Street values" - Gov. Chelsea Clinton (D-NY).

August 28, 2032 - Poll: Bush leads

September 15, 2032 - Bush, Clinton go negative
Republican George P. Bush and Democrat Chelsea Clinton went negative on the campaign trail. "The fact is, since Governor Clinton took office, New Yorker's have seen their total state tax burden increase by 15%, state spending is up by 7.5%, welfare rolls have gone up in New York faster than in all but five states, and thanks to new mandates, New York now ranks #2 for highest health care premiums, they ranked #8 when the Governor took office" Bush said of Clinton while campaigning in Pennsylvania. In Florida, Clinton slammed Bush. "George Bush likes to tell people he cut state debt in Texas. He did so by cutting tax breaks to family farmers and aid to community colleges, but he allowed for tax breaks for large corporations in Texas. In Texas, the number of uninsured people as a percentage remains in the top ten in this country" Clinton said.

October 5, 2032 - Clinton, Bush participate in debate on domestic issues

"I believe that by reforming our broken tax code, repealing the regulations put in place by this administration, and by investing in worker re-training programs, our economy can grow again, and our workforce will be prepared for the future. In Texas, I cut taxes and our state created jobs. It takes strong, effective leadership to change Washington, and I have what it takes to get the job done" - Gov. George P. Bush

"If we want to grow the American economy, we as a nation must invest in our people. That's why I've proposed a plan to cover the poor with health insurance, have smaller class sizes in our schools, and raise the minimum wage. I believe that helping working families get ahead is the calling of our time." - Gov. Chelsea Clinton

October 8, 2032 - Vice Presidential Candidates Debate

"George Bush and I offer Americans a new direction. In Texas, George Bush cut taxes, overhauled his state's education system, and fought for greater transparency in government. During my career, I built a successful business, fought for the Christie agenda in the senate, and cut spending and taxes as a Governor. We have the experience and the record of results to lead this country towards greatness again" - Gov. Pat Toomey

"Chelsea Clinton and I have put forth a bold agenda which invests in education and health care while also reducing taxes on working families. We believe that investing in America doesn't mean infringing on our free market economy, and it certainly doesn't mean breaking the bank. Our opponents believe large corporate tax breaks and allowing Wall Street to run wild is the key to economic growth, we believe in the American people" - Sen. Beau Biden

October 14, 2032 - Bush, Clinton debate foreign policy

"I believe that increasing the size of the U.S. military by 20,000 over the next five years, increasing funding for human intelligence, and building stronger alliances globally has to be the goal of the next President of the United States." - Gov. George P. Bush

"Governor Bush and I agree we need to increase the size of our military. Where we disagree is in how we would lead in the world. George Bush believes that the threat of military force makes us safer. I believe how we conduct ourselves with our allies makes us safer" - Gov. Chelsea Clinton

October 25, 2032 - Bush, Clinton participate in final debate

"In Texas, I fought to reduce taxes, overhaul our state's education system, and I took on the political establishment in fighting for greater transparency. My priorities are clear. I will reduce taxes to promote economic growth. I'll fight for local control in education and school vouchers. I will fight to protect our nation. We need a President with a proven record of results, and I believe I offer the American people just that" - Gov. George P. Bush

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