160429_haslam-tn_photo_services.jpg

"Thank you! Thank you, one and all!

Thanks to all of you, I am now the Republican Party's Presumptive Nominee! Only two months ago, our Campaign was seen as something that never had a real chance to being Nominated but now we are the Only Candidate left in the race for the Republican Party. This shows our Party is truly united and unlike the Democrats, we have a real chance to Consolidate before the General Election and win in November with great ease! It's time to get America back to work through smaller government, tax cuts for all the people, energy independence, free trade, education reform, budget balance, infrastructure development and businesses' promotion. After we win on November, America and the rest of the world will be safer through a stronger and modernized U.S. military, stronger alliances and stronger international freedom in order to fight and destroy international terrorism, to defeat tyranny for the sake of democracy and to restore international territorial integrity.

Barack Obama's taxes and regulations on energy industry made the economic situation after the Deepwater Horizon Crisis worse and made us much more dependent on foreign oil, including from countries in throes of terrorism, thus, sometimes, unwillingly funding terrorist groups. We need to relaunch oil production by doubling permits on federal lands, approve the Keystone XL pipeline, drill in ANWR, build the TransAmerica Energy pipeline and another one from Alaska to Canada and exploit oil resources in the North Pole through the use of underwater tankers. That way, we will get energy independence through energy revolution that will make us the world energy superpower, bring massive job creation, boost our automotive industry and give us the necessary revenues to develop renewable energies to create jobs. That's how we'll grow our economy while preserving the environment. a Reformed Free trade with Latin America will reinforce our relations with this region's nations, ensure economic growth through free market, reduced tariffs and lower costs of trading. Along with the Trans-Pacific Partnsership, It will also help us to keep our status as the first economic power in the world since Latin America's economy is as powerful as China's, which will keep our trade power stronger than China's. By cutting taxes for all the American people and for business owners, by reducing the cost of doing business in America and by developing infrastructure through a part of future budget surplus, America will remain the best place in the world to open a business, which will reinforce the American people's purchasing power, increase wages, reduce the deficit, reinforce production and consumption, create jobs, and bring creative innovation.

The time has come for a Real Republican to win in November and it's time to make America the Moral Beacon it was decades ago. Thank you!

New Polls IX
After Bill Haslam's success on Mini-Super Tuesday, He could now completely focus on the Battleground states for the General Election. For the Democrats, however, they are still locked in a brawl as the next few states heavily favor Bernie Sanders, thus ensuring that it would be a tough race all the way towards the convention.

I'm Going to do a time skip to the June 7th Primaries if only because it doesn't overcrowd this page with Democratic Primaries. but I will give Delegate counts for each Candidate by that time.
 
While I'm neither confirming nor denying, Haslam wants and needs someone with either of these 2 Conditions:

1. Congressional Experience (to balance his Governor Experience)

2. From a Battleground State (to help win it in the General)
Candidates that meet the first condition: Rubio, Kasich, Cruz, Pence, Alexander
Candidates that meet the second condition: Rubio, Kasich, Walker

So seems like Rubio and Kasich are the strongest options here
 
Candidates that meet the first condition: Rubio, Kasich, Cruz, Pence, Alexander
Candidates that meet the second condition: Rubio, Kasich, Walker

So seems like Rubio and Kasich are the strongest options here

Now you just have to find out which of the two Haslam chooses. HINT: It will come after the June 7th Primaries.
 
Pence meets the another conditon though, he served in Congress for a while and was a govenor, in a state which while it leans republican, is losable to a Demcratic candadite who generates sufficent enthusiasm (Obama, possibly Sanders). Hes also comforts evangelicls who may be abit uncomfortable with this Bush type conservative.
 
Second condition is that they're from a Battleground state (which Indiana isn't), First Condition is Congressional Experience
I reframed it though, is this better:

I reframed it though, is this better:

It's better though by now Haslam has indeed narrowed it down to Kasich and Rubio at this time, mainly because of Pence's past with Homosexual Marriage, which goes against Haslam's "I may disagree but I will defend your right." Still, Pence will be fighting hard for him in the GE.

July 10th, 2016: Haslam's VP Selection Speech at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachussetts
haslam_crop.jpg

"Thank you. Thank you for the applause.

Harvard is one of the most important universities in the country as evidenced by its abilities to produce Presidents as evidenced by George W. Bush, Barack Obama, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, and FDR. It's one of the most famous law schools across the country and it gives all students great challenge and diversity that, if they can overcome, will prove to be very helpful later on in life to help that student achieve the American dream.

My friends, I'm here today to announce you who will be my running mate and the next Vice-President of the United States. It's a great reformer. It's a leader who lived the American Dream and grew up in a hard working middle class family. It's a leader who understands the terrible living conditions of our veterans since having a brother who served in the Green Berets during the Vietnam War. It's a leader who has fought for truly Republican and Conservative ideas in the Senate such as lowered taxes and energy independence as well having brought extremely great character into the United States Senate. They have also fought for Minorities to come here and find legal status in the United States so they could live the American dream like his family did.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to Introduce my Running Mate and the next Vice President of the United States of America,
Senator Marco Rubio!"

[AUDIENCE APPLAUSE]

Marco Rubio's Speech as Bill Haslam's Running Mate:

25firstdraft-rubio-tmagArticle.jpg

"Thank you so much my friends! Thank you Bill! I'm honored and proud to be selected as your running mate and to contribute to a decisive a great change for our country. And it's an honor to serve America alongside the next President of the United States Bill Haslam

As Governor Haslam said, I have the best background to understand what hard working means since I lived the American Dream. I was born to a Cuban exile Family who fled the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in the 1950s. I grew up as a Roman Catholic in Nevada, though I was a Mormon for three years. During the years I lived in Nevada, My father worked as a bartender at Sam's Town Hotel and my as a mother a housekeeper at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino. I was then elected to the United States Senate in 2010 after serving as a adjunct professor at Florida International University after leaving the Florida State House of Representatives and being Florida Speaker of the House. In the Senate, I fought Barack Obama's tooth and nail and fought to promote true Conservative values to be passed. I defended the Embargo on Cuba, I voted against the Budget Control Act of 2011, which included mandatory automatic budget cuts for sequestration, as Defense spending should never be linked to taxes and the Deficits. I fought for improved rights for immigrants as a member of the Bi-Partisan Gang of Eight.

Yes, during the primaries, me and Bill had some quibbles. I even lost my home state, but I've learned to Forgive and Forget for the betterment of the United States. Bill Haslam is a great leader who understands what it takes to make the world safe again in this time of growing international terrorism. He will increase defense budget, strengthen and modernize our military and send all the necessary troops and arsenal to defeat ISIS, Al Qaida and international terrorism. He will use all the necessary diplomatic skills he has as well as the necessary arsenal to defend Ukraine from Vladimir Putin's tyranny and corruption, stop Iran and North Korea from pursuing the development of their nuclear programs and to restore international territorial integrity.

Bill Haslam and I will lead America into brighter days by making it fairer, more prosperous, safer and more united than it was ever before. We, the Republicans, have a strong Moderate at the top of our ticket and a Hispanic as the Running Mate. As President Obama said, there's not a white or black America, there's no Hispanic or Asian America, there's no conservative or liberal America. This is the United States of America!

Thank you! God bless you all and God bless the United States of America!
