March 12th, 2015:



My fellow Americans. For the past eight years, we had seen prosperity and dignity under the Clinton administration. Now, it is time for someone to succeed her. We do not need a Republican, who would destroy all of Clinton's hard work. We need a leader that will continue her legacy.
Which is why, my fellow Americans, I am running for president! Together, we will win the white house! Now, let me tell you this, eight years ago, we had a broken economy, an unwinnable war in Iraq, and an incompetent president which destroyed our public image. Clinton and I both worked
to get out of Iraq, fix our economy, and restore America's image all accros the globe! And under a Obama administration, we will continue this legacy! Thank you Illinois, and god bless the United States of America!





That was vice president Obama's announcement speech. This speech may as well be the beginning of the 2016 race.

March 16th, 2015



Hello, Jainesville! Great to be back home! Its been lovely, but I have got something to say. For over the past eight years, the United States has seen weakness, we had four ambassadors killed in Benghazi, which was a cause of the incompetence of Secretary of State
Strickland and Defense secretary Panetta. We had been doing nothing to counter radical Islam, nor had we been tough on Russia, which puts troops in Ukraine and just gets sanctioned. The Clinton administration has been a failure. And someone needs to fix it. Which is why I am intending
to run for president.

Ok guys, the announcements are very boring, so I will just compile them into one post, and then go to the debates and then go to
the primaries

March 25th, 2015



Hello, Baltimore! Great to be back home. I am here because I am announcing my campaign for president! Today is a new era in American
politics, started by Clinton, and continued by me!


March 28th, 2015



Many people thought that a New York Republican can't go places, well, I proved them wrong. And now, a New York Republican
will set his eyes on the white house!



April 2nd, 2015




Hello Kentucky, great to be back home! Now, let me cut to the chase, I am running for president!
The American people and I have been grossly offended by government spying, and I resolve to end it! Together, we will defeat the
Washington machine and unleash the American dream!



April 9th, 2015




Hello Vermont, wonderful to be back home! Now, let me tell you, who has the most money in the country? Thats right, the 1%! So, now we need someone stand up to them! Which is why I am announcing my intentions to run for president!

April 11th, 2015



As Secretary of the Interior, I helped with America's prosperity for the last eight years. Together, we can continue this prosperity. But how? I will tell you, because I am running for president!


April 13th, 2015



What are you trying to say, Gary?
I am running for president


April 19th, 2015



I am announcing my presidency at home, not on a comedy show!


April 20th, 2015



Under my management, Colorado has prospered, and soon, on January 20th, 2025, America would have prospered. If you hadn't got the idea yet, I am running for president!


May 15th, 2015



I am announcing my campaign for president!


May 17th, 2015



The Democratic party has lost its ideals of Huey Long and New Deal populism. I promise that when I become nominated, I will make the Democratic party as it was, not a socialist or pseudo-progressive party

May 21st, 2015



My father was a mailman, who later died in a car crash. His son couldn't have gone to high school, couldn't have gone to a university, couldn't have become a politician, couldn't have become a governor, and couldn't have become a presidential candidate. Thats what people
thought about me at the funeral. Boy, did I show them wrong!


June 2nd, 2015



I am going to destroy the delusion that Vice President Obama is going to be the nominee no matter what!

June 9th, 2015



We will restore the liberty that was taken away from us by the Clinton administration!

June 15th, 2015



The difference between Obama and I is that I donated to Clinton while Obama spent everything he can to stop her. Can we really trust him to carry on Clinton's legacy?

June 17th, 2015



I am running for president!

June 29th, 2015



Hey hey hey, San Antonio! What a great time to be home! Now, the American dream today is better than it ever was in the twenty first century. Now, who to carry on the dream?
Some may say Obama, a guy that ran against Clinton, some may say Trump or Webb, which are just DINOs, and some may say Biden, who copies off of other people. But then who?
Well, I say me! I, Julian Castro, am running for president!


July 5th, 2015



We need a true conservative in the white house! God bless you and god bless the United States of America!!!!

Will post them when the first Democratic debate is posted. But I guess it's safe assume that Obama is leading in the polls

OCTOBER 13TH, 2015: FIRST DEMOCRATIC DEBATE

Lets check up on the polls

Barack Obama-30%
Julian Castro-25%
Joe Biden-20%
Donald Trump-10%
Bernie Sanders-7%
John Hickenlooper-4%
Martin O'Malley-2%
Jim Webb-1%
Gary Locke-1%
Lincoln Chafee-1%

Despite announcing his campaign on a Liberal safe space, Locke's campaign never really took off as many Democrats seem to flock to Obama or Castro or Sanders. Obama, unexpectedly, is leading, but by only 5%, he really needs to shake up the race to get a solid lead like Gore had in 2000.



Channel: CNN
Moderators: Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon and Dana Bash
Where?: Lynn, Las Vegas, Nevada

HIGHLIGHTS

Castro (to Obama)-I have a question for you, Mr. Vice President, how much money did it take for you to lose in 2008?
Obama (to Chafee)- No, I won't answer this question
Anderson Cooper (to Chafee)-Are you saying that you didn't know what you were voting for?
Trump-Only Rosie O'Donnel
Webb-The guy that attacked me with a grenade in Vietnam but, I'm afraid he can't be here

THE FALLEN



I may have not gotten the nomination, but I am fairly certain that Obama is not going to get the Nomination easily. So I am endorsing the only reformer in the race, John Hickenlooper!

NOVEMBER 10TH, 2015: THE FOURTH REPUBLICAN DEBATE



Polls!

Rand Paul-23%

Paul Ryan-19%
Chris Christie-13%
Marco Rubio-13%
Bobby Jindal-11%
John Kasich-9%
George Pataki-8%
Carly Fiorina-2%
Scott Walker-2%

Patakimentum has stopped, and Fiorinamentum and Walkermentum has turned against them. The debate turned out to be uneventful, with nothing to highlight. Rand Paul has gained a lead by 4%. Christie has also surged into 3rd, but by only decimal point lead.

NOVEMBER 14TH, 2015: THE SECOND DEMOCRATIC DEBATE


Polls!

Barack Obama-26%

Donald Trump-25%
Bernie Sanders-20%
John Hickenlooper-15%
Joe Biden-8%
Martin O'Malley-6%

Trump, Sanders and Hickenlooper had been experiencing a last-minute surge after the Paris Terror attacks, with Biden being second to-last due to questions on his foreign policy experience. Donald Trump made a bold move by suggesting that boots should be on the ground in Syria to defeat ISIS, something which has not been suggested before by any Democrat in the race. However, with the world mourning, people want Justice. And to the Democrats, Trump will serve Justice

THE FALLEN



It appears that there is no future for my campaign. I am endorsing Chris Christie for president.



Abysmal polling has shown that I will not win the nomination, I am dropping out and am endorsing Marco Rubio for president.

If Hillary Clinton had been President; it is doubtful she would have been in the same position as Obama is; his lack of experience in 2008 would have been obvious and his campaign would have imploded due to this.
