Bump?

Joining in the bump

[Wells]

I've been super busy. And that's not going to change until after next week, so if anyone else wants to run the game in my absence, that'd be great.

[ASPN]

I'd be fine waiting or having someone else take over for a bit.

With Mike apparently back in action, perhaps we can begin the final debate soon?

[Wells]

Questions once again shamelessly stolen.

Opening Statements

Should the government continue to fund Planned Parenthood?

Should there be more restrictions on the current process of purchasing a gun?

Should illegal immigrants have access to government-subsidized healthcare?

Should employers be required to pay men and women the same salary for the same job?

Should the electoral college be abolished?

Closing Statements

Can I join in?

[Wells]

Can I join in?

Of course. The primaries for the major two parties are either well on their way or finished, so you would have to chose to run a third party or independent campaign. If you were to chose to run as a Libertarian (which seems likely considering your avatar), then I would hold a mini-primary between you and the other announced candidate. Whoever won that would be the nominee.

[Jaguar4life]

What I was gonna do.

[Wells]

What I was gonna do.

You can still join.

[Jaguar4life]

Name:Kenny Greenberg
Age:54
Party:Independent
Occupation:Actor
State:New Jersey
(Cause why not)

Bio:Greenberg was a popular 80s star starting in such classics Kung Furry, North va Aouth and Uncommon Valor.

Like Arnold Schwarzenegger another 80s action star and Jesse Ventura Greenberg is going for a political run.

While considering himself a financially conservative socially liberal Kenneth says that the Libertarian Party to him seems like more towards moderate Republicans.

Greenberg wants to cut taxes on the middle class and small businesses while raising taxes on the 1% and corporations, Make real free trade deals not trade deals that only benefit corporations like TPP or NAFTA or CAFTA, Make healthcare affordable and cheaper and legalize market and bring it real free market capitalism.

Good evening. With a tight primary, I know that regardless of the victor, she'll be prepared to take on Governor O'Houlihan. Perhaps tonight, I can show the undecided that I'm their candidate.

Yes. Planned Parenthood does a lot of good for those that are planning parenthood. No? Okay. There's much more to PP than abortion clinics. As a matter of fact, federal law doesn't allow abortion to be funded by the government anyway. To say it's about "funding abortions with the taxpayers' money" is a lie.

Yes. As they have in North Carolina, regulation ensuring that nobody can walk out of a gun store ready to rob a bank or shoot up a school could help nationwide as well.

Well, while I'd like to work on programs that would make it easier for immigrants to officially become American citizens, they'll need healthcare just as much as you or me in the meantime. So yes, I suppose undocumented immigrants should be allowed to have access to healthcare.

Absolutely. There is no reason why anyone, regardless of their race, orientation, or sex should be paid less for the same job as someone else.

I'd support a measure to abolish, or at least reform, the electoral college. There's no real reason why the will of the people should be overturned by where exactly it lies.

Well, I'd like to thank Governor Harmon for being a worthy adversary, and the audience for being here for the debate. May the best woman win.

Yikes. Dropping out and endorsing Harmon.

[Wells]

Yikes. Dropping out and endorsing Harmon.

Wow! What a twist!

With Tsumiki Harmon becoming the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, a real general election can begin!

Turn one of the GE has started. Three things that any candidate must do at this point in order to proceed.

1) Organize their convention. You must do it, the rules of how it will play out are in the GE Mode post.

2) Pick a VP. This can be anyone, as long as it is reasonable (Harmon can't pick Ted Cruz, and O'Houlihan can't pick jfern).

3) I have an idea, and I'll flesh it out by the end of the week. That being said, enjoy.

[Mike Thick]

I'm out, sorry.
