Donald Trump: 54%

John Kasich: 25%

Unsure: 21%

Donald Trump is facing a challenge from former Governor of Ohio John Kasich who has been a vocal critic of Trump since he suspended his campaign four years ago. Trump does start off with heavy advantage, he is very strong in the south and midwest and he has party backing and money which will prove very befintly when facing Kasich. Kasich does have strong support in the northeast and Utah and especially in the crucial state of New Hampshire. Still, Kasich has left a door open to a possible third-party run which could make a Trump win much harder.

RCP Democrat National Polling Average

Joe Biden: 16%

Elizabeth Warren: 13%

Michelle Obama: 11%

Kamala Harris: 8%

Sherrod Brown: 7%

Kristen Gillibrand: 5%

Chealse Clinton: 4%

Derek Jeter: 3%

John Delaney: 1%

Undecided: 32%

The Democratic field is being called the year of the women after five women jump into the field. Still, the leader of the field is Joe Biden who is playing himself as an Obama Democrat and blue-collar Democrat. Biden has a very small lead over both Elizabeth Warren and Michelle Obama who are the only other two polling above ten percent. Warren and Obama are close to Biden and the frontrunners but we must not write off Sherrod Brown, Kamala Harris, and Kristen Gillibrand. All of them have strong polling in one of the first few states and they have made a name for themselves on the national scene in the last three years.

The lower candidates are Chelsea Clinton, Derek Jeter, and John Delaney but at this point, they still have a viable chance at the nomination if they overcome their problems. All these candidates are plagued by a problem. First, Clinton has to distance herself from the Clinton name as many Democrats want to move away from the Clintons after the 2016 loss. Second, Jeter could have been a very good candidate four years ago in the anti-establishment year but Jeter is now running in a year where the Democrats want to experience but if Jeter can prove he is experienced enough to run for president then he could win. Third, Delaney is being plagued by low name recognition but he does have the money to overcome this downfall and he is polling well in Iowa.

Jeter campaigns in New Hampshire on Medicare For All
One of the things that made me more progressive was the idea of Medicare for all.  It shouldn’t be unpopular or a debate for every senior citizen in the country to have top notch healthcare and service!!!

Washington has been trying to gut Medicare, Social Security and it’s benefits and service just so that they can spend that money for more and more on the war machine.  President Trump and the senate Republicans want to cut a decent amount of Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security and give it to the Milltary industrial complex so that he can send your kids to fight in more endless wars. But that is a topic for a different speech and day.   Yes Medicare is not perfect and needs to be fixed. But that doesn’t mean we need to gut it or completely just do away with it.  We need to improve all programs such as Medicare,Medicaid and Social Security.  As President to fix problem I will set out a program that gives those more affordable and better suited. I will reduce the taxes on it for the middle and lower class families and invested the money that we wastfully spend on endless milltary conflicts and unconstitutional spying programs on Medicare and also Social Security and Medicaid and make it better and update it to the next decade of the 2020s. 

We can and will saved your loved one’s health!! Thank you!!

Jeter campaigns in his hometown of Pequannock Township, New Jersey on the economy


It is a honor to be here in my suburban hometown of Pequannock New Jersey to a working suburban family and a father who was a Army vet.

However as much as I respect and honor the brave people who sacrificed their lives to help this country we still are in a never ending war in Afghanistan and President Trump and the GOP leadership in Washington wants to keep troops in there for another decade and wants to spend more and more and drive up more debt into this neverending fight.  We should of done a full troop reduction  of this war when around 2014 and let the UN come in for a peacekeeping operation.  

As President I will take what ever money from that wasteful milltary spending and put it towards good use and help out working families and create new job  opportunities. We should use that money to improve our broken infrastructure, Rebuild NASA and get a manned mission on Mars, Invest in cleaner and solar energy and make sure we are with the other nations in the world and invest in Universal Healthcare like the majority of Amercia wants.  And that way instead of cutting taxes for the  1%,Cutting social programs and other sneaky things we will able to balence the budget and give us a budget surplus.

*Crowd cheers*

MAJOR EVENTS!!!

Rally in Concord, New Hampshire on November 1st

"Thank you! Thank you!

Ah, it's back to get on the campaign trail and no longer be in the Swamp that is Washington D.C. *Crowd Boos*

Oh, you wouldn't believe how bad it is there, folks! So many people are against me and you, the American People! Crazy Maxine Waters, you remember her, right? The representative who told her supporters to harass members of my cabinet just because we hold political views that they don't agree with? Well, she's one of the heads of the party. Her and Speaker of the House Witch Pelosi have done nothing but speak rhetoric against me and obstruct whatever we try to do in the House and then we have a hung Congress that can't really do anything. I tell you, that is insane.

Now, they want to Abolish ICE! The Democrats want to abolish the thing that enforces our borders and take away jobs from dozens of people to advance their agenda! It's crazy! *Crowd Boos louder*It's absolutely insane. I do agree that how we enforce it is rather harsh, but the thing is, it's written in Law. The Ninth Circuit court of Appeals ruled that Children and Parents can only be together for a short period of time before being separated. That was before I became President, folks. I will speak with Attorney General Jeff Sessions very soon and we will work out on softening the Zero Tolerance Policy that we have that is cruelly separating Children from their parents so Family won't be in cages and Children won't be separated from Parents.

It's time to reform and I have more to say very soon!"

Rally in Manchester, New Hampshire on November 8th

"Thank you. Thank you.

Tonight is a great Night. Tonight marks the 1095th day, or third year, since I was elected President of these fine United States of America. It's a great night for Celebration and I've decided to spend it here with you in Manchester, New Hampshire. Now, to talk about Politics, I was watching the speeches and Town Hall Meeting that John Delaney and Derek Jeter gave and- *Crowd Boos* No, no, let's not boo yet! As I was watching, I thought 'Some of these things should've been fixed years ago but they're still in effect' so today, President Trump, which is myself, is creating a 3 Main Ideas List for the next few months of my Campaign that my administration will put into top focus until they're are finished. Here they are:

1. EXPAND TITLE IX OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT TO INCLUDE LESBIANS, GAYS, AND TRANSEXUALS CITIZENS AND NOT ALLOW DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THEM BASED ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION

I think we can agree on this one folks. Discrimination against anyone, on race, gender, sexual orientation, everything, is bad and awful. You should get a job based on Merritt and what you can get done, nothing else. It's time we expand Title IX and ensure LGBT+ people will no longer face Discrimination in the work place.

*Crowd Cheers*


2. GET OUT OF AFGHANISTAN BY APRIL, CREATE A UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING OPERATION FOR THE COUNTRY, CUT THE MILITARY BUDGET BY 6.3-11.9% AND PUT THAT CASH ELSEWHERE

Oh, something tells me that some Democrats are a little shocked right now. I was listening to Derek Jeter speak last night and I do agree it's time for some real change. That's why I am proposing these ideas. Now, of what I cut from the Military Budget, I will distribute it like so:

22.5% to the Space Force
22.5% to NASA
40% to Infrastructure
10% Social Security
5% will be placed back into the hands of all Business employers and employees

These are big things but they need to happen for the Common American so they can have a better life and a better future ahead of them! This is one way to Keep America Great and I will hope many others will support me in doing this!

3. IMMIGRATION REFORM WILL BE ALLOWED ONLY IF WALL

Now this, ladies and Gentlemen, is the big honcho. I will meet with the Democratic and Republican Leaders in Congress in December and discuss a deal that will hammer out the best possible deal that I will agree to sign on one condition:

BUILD THE WALL!

That's all I want and I will sign the Immigration reform. I think we can agree that we need that wall and once I sign the agreement, I will be finished with it. I won't pick up this issue and it'll be settled until something goes horribly wrong and then we'll all speak and formulate an agreement on how to improve from there.

These are my main goals to hit by the end of 2020 and I hope that it passes so we can all go and have a much better future ahead for all of us!"

November 11th-November 19th: Campaign in Iowa[/center]

Trump has these main focuses on Iowa:

- Target Economic Prosperity (lots of employment going around and lots of jobs)

- Remind everyone of success in Foreign Policy

- Bash the Establishment

- Target Senior citizens and the youth, especially those 45-65 and older and, and No College White Citizens as those were the majority that he won over in 2016 for the Primary in Iowa

- Hold Meetings and rallies across the state and start a grassroots campaign in Iowa

- Eat with Voters and Citizens where they go to eat with only two secret service as Bodyguards.

MAJOR EVENTS

Rally in Des Moines, Iowa on November 12th

"I love being here! Iowa, it's a great place!

I want to talk about something. I want to talk about the Democratic Candidates *CROWD BOOS* No, no, we have to talk about them. Each one of them are challengers and, god forbid, could be your next President. Now, let's get started:

Candidate #1: Former Vice President Joe Biden

The Mayor of Gaffeville himself leads the Democratic Field. It's insane, folks. Just look up "Joe Biden Gaffes" and you'll get a plethora of Gaffes from this guy. This is the one who Democrats currently want to lead us? Give me a break!

Candidate #2: Elizabeth Warren

Pocahontas is the second place runner, Pocahontas has a chance of becoming President. This person has lied to become a professor and now she's running for President. Something tells me that that picture that just doesn't fit. Now, I will relent on Senator Warren if, and only if, she takes a Public DNA Test and make the real results Public. But then again, with her being a follower of Bernie Sander's ideas, I really question her ability to lead.

Candidate #3: Michelle Obama

A First Lady running for President? I think I've seen that somewhere before. I remember, in Crooked Clinton, this was the exact same thing. My predecessor's wife is running against me. You know what that means. The same disastrous policies that I had to clean up. The slowest Economic recovery in 70 years, Fast and Furious, the IRS targeting Conservative Organizations, NSA Mass surveillance and much more if Michelle Obama becomes President. I don't think we want that to happen

Candidate #4: Kamala Harris

A Californian running for the Democratic Nomination? Oh boy, the ideas of Moonbeam might as well come to the White House and mix them in with some Socialist ideas and we'll see what happens. Again not the best of ideas.

Candidate #5: Sherrod Brown

A Working Class Senator from Ohio, I somewhat like him and find him interesting but the thing he, he believes our country is going backwards but we are going forwards with Jobs and the foreign Policy. I think he needs his eyes checked but to each his own.

Candidate #6: Kirsten Gilibrand

Another New Yorker running for President? Oh wow, why am I not surprised? I know I am from New York, but I have no shame in stating that. I also want to remind Gilibrand that she endorsed former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman who was found to be beating his Girlfriend and yet she claims to be for Womens' Rights. Everyone, I think we deserve to ask why she supported him if these things were happening.

Candidate #7: Chelsea Clinton

Oh boy, another Clinton. I have feeling she'll be nothing but a puppet for her mother, who I already beat in 2016. We didn't let a second Clinton in once then and I'll doubt we'll let one in Now!

Candidate #8: Derek Jeter

I'm a huge fan of the New York Yankees. I really am! but cmon, this guy doesn't have any real chance. I'm sad to say that bu the Establishment in the DNC already have their favorites and thier make it hard for Anti-Establishmentarians to win a Primary.

Candidate #9: John Delaney

This is the one person I am looking forward to debating, even though he most likely won't have a chance. He seems like fun and I would love to see how his campaign progresses. That's all I will say for now.

That's what I think. Again, no violence and no attacking these people. We'll see how this all plays out! I love you all! Good Night!"

Endorsement from Texas Senator Ted Cruz in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on November 17th

"4 Years ago, I was a massive opponent to Donald Trump. I admit, at the time, I didn't trust him to lead us. Now, however, I am more than honored to give this great man my Endorsement. He is fighting the Establishment being led by Kasich. Kasich as of right now is being a Democratic Agent to destroy the Republicans from within so he can run in 2024. We first must destroy Kasich and then we'll go on and the Election. Thank you and I will be with Trump on the Campaign Trail!

November 20th-November 25th: Campaign in Nevada[/center]

Trump has these main focuses on Nevada:

- Target Economic Prosperity (lots of employment going around and lots of jobs)

- Remind everyone of success in Foreign Policy

- Bash the Establishment

- Target most of the age groups in the state as he won a majority of all of them in the Nevada Caucus in 2016.

- Hold Meetings and rallies across the state and start a grassroots campaign in Nevada

- Eat with Voters and Citizens where they go to eat with only two secret service as Bodyguards.

MAJOR EVENTS

Endorsement from Florida Senator Marco Rubio in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 22nd

[/center]

"I grew up here, in the lovely state of Nevada for the first few years of my life and I love this state. In 2016, I was a major critic of Donald Trump but over the last 3 years years, he has been a far better President than I thought he would be. No one, and I do mean no one, holds Nevada Values more than Donald Trump and he will be the one to lead us to another victory in November in 2020! He is the choice for  the Republicans and he is the right choice for the Republican Party!"

November 26th-November 30th

- Presidential Duties in Washington D.C.

Marco Rubio mainly campaigned in Nevada and New Hampshire while Ted Cruz campaigned in Iowa and South Carolina to raise Support in both states

DELANEY RESPONDS TO TRUMP COMMENTS

“Well I think President Trump’s comments about all of the democratic candidates were very rude and disrespectful. That’s not what this country stands for. It’s disgusting. I hope that the voters can look at these comments, Among others, this November. Thank you”

Brown 2020: For the Future

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Schedule

November 1-7: Build campaign team: Manager, Deputy Manager, state chairs, etc.

November 8-11: Hit campaign trail in Iowa. Brown intends to meet with voters affected by tariffs on agricultural goods. During one campaign stop, Brown made the following speech to voters that had gathered.

"Yes, we need to protect our own production sectors, industrial and agricultural. However, a trade war with China is not the way to go about it. The President does not understand this; he only understands what he wants to do at any given moment. I'd bet money on most of these decisions of his being made on the spot with little or no consultation with his cabinet or advisers."

November 12-15: Campaign in New Hampshire. Brown would highlight his socially liberal positions, and tout his support for increased campaign finance laws, stating there had been an abdication of responsibility in the name of raising campaign money. He also made the following pledge:

"My campaign will be totally supported by the people. I will not accept donations over a thousand dollars from an individual, and to any PACs or SuperPACs that are thinking about supporting me: get out! I don't want your support, and I don't need it! This is a campaign of the people, by the people, and for the people!"

November 16-20: Brown would campaign in Michigan in an attempt to lock down the blue-collar vote. He visited several factories during his visit, touting his pro-labor platform and working-class background; in particular focusing on his plank of repealing Taft-Hartley and restoring the lost power of labor unions. He also lambasted Republicans:

"The President ran on a supposedly pro-worker platform four years ago, but what the hell has he done for our workers? The Republican Party is the party of business interests and the rich, so why were we so surpirsed when they nominated a rich man with no qualifications for President? He has done nothing for workers, and it is frankly insulting that he compare his own life with those who have had to scrimp and save for everything in their lives! Has he ever known what it's like to have to work two jobs to support a family? No! He doesn't know the workers' struggle. I grew up in the working class of the country, so I understand them more than some two-bit billionaire with a fortune his daddy gave him!

Novermber 21-22: Rest.

November 23-27 Campaign again on the same issues in Iowa. He would give the same round of speeches and met with voters all across the state, again lambasting Republicans on the tariff issue.

November 28-December 1: Brown continued building his campaign team and national strategy, as he endevoured to build a powerful team. He also answered calls from Senator Tammy Baldwin and Former Vice President Al Gore, who presented endorsement offers.

Jeter speaks on the winning the middle and working  class in Cooperstown New York


Now just because I was once a all star baseball player and I made over a millions dollars in my contract o doesn’t mean I can look out and help out working and middle class families and businesses like you guys.

Now I know Donald Trump did something like this last election cycle around and you were fooled but the thing is that’s his nature. Trump has always been that kind of businessman and snake oil salesman. I have not!!

His tariffs which he told you guys that it would help us make better and cheaper goods in the States just actually made it more harder and expensive for people to do business in America. His trade war with China has hurt many hard working corporations and hard working union workers.  Now I am all for getting out of NAFTA sand other trade organizations but this is not the way we do it

As President I will in my first days lay off every single tariff that Trump has given and fight and protect our union and their workers and make sure they get the same love that Trump gives greedy and corrupted corporations. Only this time the people I am going for the union workers deserve all that praised and rewards.

Chief Budget Operator-Patti Solis Doyle
Chief Ad Writer- Jim Messina
Delegate Operations- Stephanie Cutter
Communications Director/Press Secretary/Spokesperson-Robert Gibbs
Chief Domestic Policy Adviser- Barack Obama
Chief Foreign Policy Adviser- Barack Obama

Schedule for Michelle Obama

November 1 to November 6

Campaign with Barack Obama and Jim Clyburn in and around Columbia, South Carolina

I said at the Democratic National Convention that being President reveals who you are, and we have seen exactly who President Trump is. He is a petty spiteful man, who is trying to become a despot. I fear that if he wins reelection, he will push through a constitutional amendment, legally or otherwise to allow him to rule for life, just like Vladimir Putin is trying to do in Russia. We need to defeat him at the ballot box now, and nip this dictatorship in the bud.

November 7 to November 10

Campaign in and around Clemson, South Carolina, with Barack Obama

The fact is, too many minorities suffer at the hands of institutional racism, and while our state and local legislative bodies have made progress, they haven't made enough over the years, as the treatment of my husband in office shows. That's why, as President, I will push for a constitutional amendment to set aside a minimum number of legislative seats for all minority groups in our legislatures, and in our Congress, so that they actually look more like America, and not just like one side of America.

November 11

Attend Veterans Day Parade , Des Moines, Iowa


November 12, 13

Campaign in and around Charleston, South Carolina

Yesterday, President Trump trashed almost everyone in our field. I don't know why John Delaney is getting the kid gloves from someone who is committing treason every day he is in office...and I'll have him know that all of the "scandals" he's talking about are blown out of proportion. If you want a "scandal" by a Democratic President, look at Whitewater, or the Vince Foster fiasco. That's a scandal, not anything that happened in my husband's administration.

November 14-20

Campaign in and around Des Moines, Iowa
C
It's been twelve long years since we were competing in a competitive caucus in the Hawkeye State, and I believe we are capable. I know what you're thinking, we're not going beat Joe Biden or Sherrod Brown because they are experienced politicians, or are from the Rust Belt, but I'm confident we'll do just as well here as we did in 2008! 

November 21-26

Fundraisers in New York City and Chicago.

November 27-30

Thanksgiving Weekend in Chicago (With Barack Obama, Sasha and Malia Obama).

Kirsten Gillibrand November Campaign Schedule

November 1-7th

Campaign Kicks Off in New Hampshire



"I'm honored to be here, in a state that has paved the way for women in politics. This state has given us the first all female delegation in the country, the only women elected Governor and Senator, and was the first state to be carried by a woman in a primary, and I hope to have the honor of repeating the success of women in this state. We are better than our current state of affairs, and New Hampshire will help pave the path to a brighter future for the United States."

Gillibrand campaigned around the state focusing on Medicare-for-All, a postal banking option, and protecting women's healthcare.

November 8-14th

Campaign heads to South Carolina, touring the state with stops in Columbia, Charleston, and Greenville.

"Our prison system is out of control. Private prisons have lead to mass incarcerations, quotas for prisons, cuts to rehabilitation programs, and a cycle that keeps people, particularly people of color, down and out of society. It is beyond time for us to end private prisons, decriminalize marijuana, and implement community policing to end the terrible practice of racial profiling. It's time to end the broken policy that has been exacerbated by Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions' Justice Department."

November 15-22nd

Campaign moves to Iowa, with a strong focus on trade.

"The trade policies pushed by this administration are killing the American farmer that makes up the people I know and love here in Iowa, and back home in Upstate New York. Protectionism is often dressed up as an idea to protect the everyday person, when in reality that's who it hurts the most. We can protect our economy without undermining the farmers that support our communities across this country. I promise to fight for fair trade deals that protect our jobs, the environment, and our interests, without pushing us into a disastrous game of chicken on the world stage."

Along with the rallies, Gillibrand tours local farms, speaking with locals about their concerns.

November 23-25th

Gillibrand stops in Nevada, with rallies in Reno, Carson City, and Las Vegas with a focus on immigration along with the modern importance of unions.

"I can't believe that part of our immigration debate is whether children should be ripped away from their parents, put in detention centers, and pushed through immigration court without a guardian. We need to simplify our system, allow a pathway to citizenship, and abolish ICE, reshuffling immigration back into the Customs Service under the Treasury Department."

November 26-30th

Thanksgiving with family in New York, followed by campaign stops in factories in farms upstate. Gillibrand pushes her agenda on trade and healthcare reform.

TWO ENDORSEMENTS FOR REPRESENTATIVE DELANEY

Former Secretary Of State John Kerry

“John K. Delaney is the best choice for President in 2020. If you look at his policies, he’s not running to win. He’s running to be a candidate of true progress and I believe he’s the most logical choice and most qualified candidate for president this year. Thank you, and let’s look to the future with John Delaney”


Former General Wesley Clark

“Hello America. There is only one candidate for president this year that I can say without a doubt will be excellent. John K. Delaney. He understands all the American citizens, and what we stand for. I hope all of you will agree with me. He holds the true values of the Democratic Party. He understands our beliefs and he’s the only choice for president this year. Thank you, and let’s look to the future”

Trump has expanded his lead after being endorsed by his former competitors showing unity within the party. Trump also won over part of the LGBT community and still, he did not lose the religious vote which many in the media project to happen. Trump did have a set back when a former cabinet member endorsed Kasich. Kasich made large gains in both Iowa and New Hampshire after a very early state-focused approach by the campaign.

With the exit of Kamala Harris, the fall of Biden and Warren and entrance of Sinema, a large majority are yet to choose their candidate. Obama did make a large gain with African-Americans which has made her the clear favorite in South Carolina. Two rising stars in the Democratic Party also saw a boost this month, Gillibrand and Brown both have launched in polling as they fight each other to be the most liberal. There is also, two other candidates trying to win the most liberal fight but they are far behind. Both Delaney and Jeter were campaigning on progressive ideas and Jeter was endorsed by Sander's supporter Tulsi Gabbard. Many question the weird change in position for Delaney who switched his stance on abolishing ICE which could have hurt him polling wise.
