RULES FOR INTERNAL POLLING

Recently, the subject of internal statewide polling has been broached. The rules for such will be as follows:

1) These polls will not necessarily be accurate (they will most certainly reflect more highly on the polling candidate than normal, and may get other elements wrong, as well).

2) These polls will be private, but will have a 25% of leaking on the gameplay thread.

3) You may commission one poll per IRL week per 5% you have in the polls currently.

Lisa Murkowski Debate Answers

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I’ll start by thanking our wonderful moderators, Megyn and Tucker, our host, The University of Texas, and all of you here in person or watching from your homes tonight. These debates have been an important part in our nominating process. They help parse out what we stand for, and let us explain why you should support us. Our campaign is one for the people, not for special interests that run rampant in Washington. People in Iowa, New Hampshire, Texas, and Alaska have all expressed the desire for the same thing. We want, and deserve, a President who will represent the average American, one that fights for fewer regulations to promote economic growth, one that values personal liberty, and pushes us to a place of energy independence, keeping prices low for all of us. That’s what this campaign is about.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Coming from a state that values individual freedom, much like Texas, I’ve gotten this question a few times. While it is true that much of my campaign is about liberty and a more hands off government, I believe the Republican Party is the best vessel for these values. That is why, even when I won an independent, write-in campaign, I still caucus with, and run as a Republican. I can only speak for myself, but my plans are to run for, and win, the Republican nomination. If I win, and the libertarian party chooses to endorse me, then I will accept and thank them, but remain on the ballot as a Republican. The only way I could see running as an independent or third party candidate is if I fear the Republican nominee will lose the general election or be a poor representative for the people of this country. I currently do not have that fear of anyone on this stage.  I just happen to believe that this campaign’s message is the strongest for the American people.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I want to again thank everyone who had a role in tonight’s debate, my fellow candidates, the moderators, and the University of Texas for hosting us. The American public deserves someone who will stand up for their interests and help solve their concerns. This is why I have opposed extremism by either party, as it hurts our country. I support your right to own a gun, serve in the armed forces regardless of your identity, and have worked to stabilize the healthcare markets, rather than upend one sixth of our economy. Too many politicians want to limit your freedoms and choices by enacting restrictive policies, and that is not what I stand for, nor what the Republican Party should stand for. America faces a big decision on what we believe is right for the future, and this campaign is built on a vision of choice, freedom, and independence, much like our nation. Thank you!

[NyIndy]

Can I commission polls of NH NV and ND?

[Cabbage]

Indeed you can. Is your PM system working (I've sent the other ones privately)?

[NyIndy]

Yeah I just got them, thanks

Phil Scott Remarks Town Hall in Boston

Audience Town Hall Question: Hello Governor, my name is Hank, and I work in a local small business. I believe in low taxes, and small government. What can you say to some voters who feel you're too liberal for the Republican Party?

Governor Weld:
Well-

Governor Scott:
Bill if you don't mind. I agree Hank. Vermont, where I serve as Governor is a state where we value individualism, we value the common man, and we don't think that government should be in the way of the future and the drive of an individual like you and me. We don't need someone in government to tell us what our future is, I certainly didn't. But I still believe that government serves a purpose, we need able social services to care for the most vulnerable, I believe what we do need is not an unresponsive, overstuffed government. But a transparent, responsive, trustworthy and able government. I believe people get frustrated when they feel government doesn't listen to them. I want to change that.

When it comes to taxes I agree, I had to veto several tax increases as Governor. I don't like the veto, but after 8 years of a state administration which made tax increases state policy, I thought the proposals were wrong for my state.  I still think that.

When it comes to being a liberal, as some as said. Well, that's just a desperate attack to distract from the real issues facing this country. I am socially more moderate, I don't believe that government should be in the lives of everyday people, that's how we do it in Vermont, I think many Americans agree. But ultimately, I believe that compromise is not a dirty word. We have entire legions of Republicans who reject compromise and management in favor of grandstanding and politics. I think we can do better, we have to start by bridging the partisan divide to get things done for ordinary people. We have to change Washington.

She will be making several appearances with her husband as well across the nation.

Sen. John Kerry (MA)

Senator Kerry's campaign has been bolstered by a slew of new endorsements and surrogates.

What Manfred did part 1
Manfred made a bold but needful trip to Pennsylvania to campaign for Centrist Democrats not really happy with the progressive direction of the Democratic Party.

He campaigned on tax cuts for working people and small businesses and called out the GOP tax cuts  during the Romney a big giveaway to the top 1% and said that the current Republican Party candidates in the race will keep the “Voodoo Economic train” rolling.

He also talked to them about fighting climate change without a sort of major central planning deal.

John Kerry Debate Answers

Opening Statement

To Senator Kerry:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

The people I am endorsed by are smart, they see the perils of climate change. Mayor Buttigieg and Rep. O'Rourke see the perils, as do President Clinton, Vice President Biden, and Vice President Gore. The leaders of our party in both houses of Congress, in Senator Schumer and Leader Ryan see these problems in Climate Change. The establishment is not against change, the establishment is against change for the worse, I hear all these talking heads, disowning the establishment. President Clinton was apart of the establishment when he was elected in 92'. Vice President Biden was apart of it as well, and he helped give us the biggest expansion of healthcare in nearly 50 years. If you want a future for humanity where our children can breathe clean air, then you support the Green New Deal. The trajectory of our party is one that is pointing up, towards the future because the future is where are children, and their children will prosper with a clean environment because of the Green New Deal.
