[Huey Long is a Republican]

For the guy playing Rand Paul, didn't you have the right to only one endorsement before the first polls?

This is coming out of his first round of credits.

Yeah, I asked him as soon as the Gameplay thread was posted.

I am not sure I get how this credits work without any polls. And anyway, do I have credits too?

Are we all allowed to request our second endorsement then? I’ve already got my preferred one lined up.

[Grassroots]

Can an official list of endorsements for all candidates be made?

[Cabbage]

Yeah, at this point everyone except Booker, Steyer, Portman, and Paul are free to get their second endorsements (those four already have theirs).

[Dereich]

Mod note here: y'all don't need to worry about citing your fake tweets or anything else you create yourself.

[Grassroots]

How will the polling release work? Will you include a polling map?

[Cabbage]

I've never done a map before, but I'll start releasing state polls once we hit the next phase. National polls will be out Saturday.

Any debate happening soon?

Great! Would love to have back-and-forths too but well that's admittedly very difficult to do. MAYBE when there are only 2 candidates we can do those by agreeing on an hour for both to do it idk

Question on the debate: does the town hall count for anything?

Also, I'm a little busy over the next week or so but I should be fine.

It will count toward polling when it comes out on Saturday.

Wew is Pence trying to steal two Senate seats

Wew is Pence trying to steal two Senate seats

Not really, I also nominated Republican Senators. And Jones is done in 2020 anyway.

[KaiserDave]

Gonna object to those appointments on the grounds of derailing the game

Also on that they may not accept the appointment


This should result in some repercussion (EDIT: to pence)

Yes. But the Republican seats are pretty much safe, and eliminating Murkowski changes the dynamic a lot as well (not to mention the Manchin issue). These appointments will result in a 55-45 Senate and it's a pretty blatant partisan move imo.

I am cancelling the Manchin and Jones appointments and nominate some former Dem Senators. I was not aware of all of this stuff, I am not an American and my knowledge of the law there is limited... Also calling for reprercusions is very extreme and very personally offensive to me

Sorry
I don’t mean it was personal

Not repercussions against you-you’re great

I mean Pence for purging his cabinet

Thanks. I'm not saying that you were INTENDING it to be partisan, but removing two red-state Democrats (one of whom has 4 years left in office) definitely raises eyebrows. That said, the problem seems to be remedied, so thats good. Still don't like Murkowski leaving the Senate though.

Yeah I think he means political repercussions. Triggered far-righters and all.

[RGM2609]

Alright given all of this controversy I am pulling out this Cabinet changes. I want Betsy DeVos out through so she will still be replaced. The others will stay.

[Elcaspar]

Does that mean another free endorsement from any of the categories?

[KaiserDave]

Once again

to all parties involved

Can we have a moratorium on the tweet storm?

Just a bit clogging, although it is admittedly fun to read

Yeah, I've personally halted tweeting but others haven't. Maybe we could have a tweet thread or something?

[RGM2609]

Honestly I find twitter useful to provide some spark into the campaign as we don't have the RL back-and-forth debate scenes.
