Fictional US election with Austrian candidates

austria2016

Hi guys,

I started another fictional scenario. Austrian possible candidates for our presidential election next year in a US map.

Note: Don’t play the primaries (only one candidates for each party, but I plan to expand that. Therefore I let some US candidates in the game to use them as basis for additional future candidates.)

When the map editor will be out, I plan to make some Austrian scenarios too.

Perhaps I can ignite your interest in Austrian politics at least I hope so. 🙂  If you have any questions, please ask me 😉

Have fun and any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

P.S. Please forgive me any grammatical errors in the blurbs, (which I plan to expand) as English is just my 2nd language. If you find something incorrect, I’ll correct it asap.

Thanks,

Luki

USA – 2008 (Cheney)

cheney2008

NEW Update!!! Version 1.6 is out. 🙂

Hi my fellow gamers.

Here’s my new what-if Scenario – Cheney 2008. Cheney succeeded Bush in 2007, after Bush got serious injured in a terrorist attack. Cheney decided to run for reelection as an Independent to unite America behind him on the upcoming challenges in the middle-east. He now faces both Republican and Democratic challengers. Can he win a full term or can the Republicans or Democrats restore the old order? Who will be successful?

Any Feedback, game reports or additional info is welcome. Thanks in advance.

If you have any ideas, tell me and I’ll try to include them.

P.S. Please forgive any grammatical errors as English is just my 2nd language. If you find something incorrect please say it to me and I’ll correct it asap.

Version 1.6 is out! It contains:

  • Off-Cheney as Republican (Of course you should turn off his Unity alter ego 😉 )
  • Gravel, Ruwart, Smith, Kubby, Phillies, Jingozian (all Libertarians)
  • John Roberts and Antonin Scalia as Republican VP Options
  • Jon Stewart and Gretchen Whitmer as Democratict VP Options
  • Jeff Bezos and Mark Cuban as Reform VPs

Have fun, any feedback is welcome.

Sincerely,

Luki

2016 Campaign to “Re-Elect” Al Gore.

2016Gore

 

Since the talk is going around again I though I would share my scenario where Al Gore gives the Presidency a final shot.  I inserted Gore in place of Grayson.  This scenario also includes a few of my percentage changes for the generals and primaries.  Trump starts out with somewhat of a lead in this one for the GOP nomination.  Gore starts 3rd behind Clinton and Sanders.

Please note that this scenario is still in beta. There is a lot to do still. That said, please post your election results!

Sen. Cheri Bustos (On)

VP Joaquin Castro (Off)

Former VP. Brian Sandoval (Off)

Scenario Backstory:

2020 Primaries:

In 2020, President Hillary Clinton decided to forgo a run for a second term as President. Amongst a well-contested and divided field, Vice President Joaquin Castro narrowly squeaks out a victory against Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York for the Democratic nomination. With rumor of an economic downturn underway, Castro, in a surprise move, selects former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew as his running mate. On the Republican side, New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte pulls away from the rest of the pack and secures the GOP nomination. Ayotte selects former Governor Brian Sandoval of Nevada as her running mate.

Businessmen Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump both contemplated independent runs for the White House but ultimately decided against it.

2020 General:

Facing strong headwinds for change and rumors of economic downturn, Ayotte/Sandoval defeats Castro/Lew with 289 to 256 Electoral Votes, and 53% of the popular vote to 46%.

Ayotte Presidency:

President Ayotte has had a rocky start to her Presidency. Vice President Sandoval quickly becomes embroiled in a campaign finance scandal and resigns within the first year of the Ayotte Presidency. In a surprise move picks former Central Intelligence Director George John Tenent. While there is some skepticism about his appointment, he is ultimately confirmed by the Republican Congress.

Ayotte received flak from the right of her party when she vetoed the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. In addition Ayotte would be credited with the passage of law that gave US territories one electoral vote.

By the time the 2022 Midterms come around, Ayotte is being attacked on two fronts – grassroots activism against her Administration’s policies which have barely gotten through the Republican Congress and rumors that she may fall next in the Sandoval Campaign Finance Scandal. Fortunately for the President the latter remains just a rumor, but that doesn’t stop Republicans from losing both the House and Senate.

In mid-2023, United States forces at Guantanamo Bay are attacked after the Cuban government falls after the death of Raoul Castro. Sensing an opportunity, Ayotte sends troops into Cuba without Congressional approval using the War Powers Act. The debate rages in Congress as American forces begin to occupy Cuba.

With the economy doing moderately well, can Ayotte win a second term after a controversial first term?
