Great 2020 Free-For-All: Endorsement Thread For Those With Misbehaving PMs

[NyIndy]

Are we getting State polling after this debate or after all 4 of them?

[NyIndy]

Can I have Mcsally and Kevin Cramer? (Was McSally appointed to McCain's seat or is she still a rep?)

[NyIndy]

No problem

[NyIndy]

Are the July schedules due tonight?

[NyIndy]

Can I use 5 credits on Rick Berg, Will Hurd and Young Kim (is she who’s in CA-39)?

[NyIndy]

Are we moving for 2 months per turn now?

[NyIndy]

Are we moving for 2 months per turn now?

Current plan:

Schedules through February 3, 2020 due March 17.
From there, the game will revert to real time until the end of the primaries, and the format of the general election will be decided between now and the end of the primaries (hypothetically c. June 15 IRL, assuming no one wins a surprise blowout).

Do we have to deal real time during the primaries? That could take months, and I don't know if I could make it thaaaat far. Can we do a slightly faster speed?
So will the Caucus be on the 18th?

And I don't mean to complain, but can we make Iowa's election night be earlier, or right after the schedules are due? I'm just really excited.
And after Iowa, perhaps an RL week till NH? And then we can make multiple primaries a week etc?

Primary Schedule (IRL, subject to change):

Mar. 17: IA <- (this one could be moved up, so long as everyone has their schedules through the end of January done beforehand)
Mar. 20: NH
Mar. 24: NV
Mar. 27: ND
Mar. 31: SC
Apr. 7: AL, CA, MA, NC, OK, TN, TX, VT, VA, AK, WY
Apr. 11: KS, ME, LA, VI
Apr. 18: HI, MI, ID, MS, MO, OH
Apr. 23: GA, NMI, AZ, FL, IL, GU
Apr. 28: AR, CO, NM, UT, NE, SD
May 1: MN, PR, MT, OR, KY
May 5: RI, CT, NY, DE, MD, PA
May 8: WA, AS
May 12: WI, WV, NJ, IN
May 15: DC

DNC: May 17-18
RNC: May 20-21

Election Day: June 21 (a month per IRL week for August, Sept., a second debate stage (one more Presidential debate, one VP debate), October, and three days for November).

Everyone's thoughts?

This sounds good to me

[NyIndy]

Oh, right I forgot about that... Can I get Burr then? I should have three credits if Tillis was only worth 1 right?

[NyIndy]

I’m not late for September-January right? I have my outlines typed up, this week has just been crazy. I will get it up ASAP.

Apparently as long as the schedule up to Feb 3rd by mid March your good.

[NyIndy]

I was wondering, are the delegates appointed proportionally or is it winner take all or does it vary by state?

[NyIndy]

I was wondering, are the delegates appointed proportionally or is it winner take all or does it vary by state?

Delegate allocation system is as follows:
Effectively proportional, with the following caveat: all non-victorious candidates will have their total rounded down to the nearest whole delegate. For example, Alabama has 50 Republican delegates. Say this was the result (not necessarily the case...or even close)

Rick Santorum - 33.12%

Lisa Murkowski - 24.98%
Justin Amash - 21.90%
Phil Scott - 20.00%

In this scenario, 1 delegate is distributed for every two percent a candidate gets. So, the delegates would be distributed as follows:

Rick Santorum - 16
Lisa Murkowski - 12
Justin Amash - 10
Phil Scott - 10

However, the eagle-eyed candidate may notice there are two delegates missing: these are added on to the total for the victorious Rick Santorum, as some level of reward for actually winning, resulting in a final tally of:

Rick Santorum - 18
Lisa Murkowski - 12
Justin Amash - 10
Phil Scott - 10

Oh interesting

[NyIndy]

[NyIndy]

What time will the Iowa results be available?

[NyIndy]

Could I be endorsed by the Nevada Republican congressional delegation?

[NyIndy]

You're right, sorry about that.

[NyIndy]

Is it too late for an endorsement by New Hampshire's AG Gordon MacDonald?

[NyIndy]

I guess I'll take him

[NyIndy]

Is South Carolina or North Dakota next?

[NyIndy]

[NyIndy]

Will endorsement credits be revealed before N.D. (is ND tomorrow?)

[NyIndy]

Could I be endorsed by Mark Gordon, Pat Roberts, Linda Lingle, and the Republican Liberty Caucus? Also, when is Super Tuesday?

You have enough credits for Gordon and Roberts, but you can reserve Lingle and the Caucus if you want.

Oh, sorry about that, ill do that then.
