Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72 (Harper Perennial Modern Classics)

Product Information

Pundits seem to think that you did surprisingly poorly against Trump, even if he was his usual wild self. One of the potential answers in the "Midnight 1964" mod when LBJ - upon learning that Robert F. Kennedy (brother of slain predecessor John and the Attorney General Johnson inherited) is threatening a primary challenge ends with "...by the time I'm through with him, he won't be the only Kennedy in the ground."

The result is chaotic and comedic political carnage as a new player stumbles their way through one terrible, inconsistent choice after another, eventually getting a feel for what works in each time and becoming able to strategize effectively. two-candidate election scenario: https://www.reddit.com/r/thecampaigntrail/comments/p7i9bw/2016_trump_and_clinton_complete/ Butt-Monkey: Stephen A. Douglas in 1860. His philosophy of Popular Sovereignty is a total failure and his only arguments consist of saying that others' policies are in line with his ideas, the party has split in half under his leadership, nobody wants to vote for him and there's practically no hope of outright victory - scratch that, there IS no way to straight-up win with Douglas. His last choice of the campaign can literally be to admit his campaign is hopeless and try (and, of course, fail) to prevent the natural consequences of the win he's just delivered to the Republicans. It is finally here. We have just wrapped up the premiere of 1864, Lincoln and Johnson versus McClellan and Pendleton; and what a road we have taken to finally bring it to you! First conceived last November, this project has gone through a full year of development and fine-tuning, and we are proud to announce that it is playable as of right now! Yes, now! Get to it! Depending on your interpretation, this can be almost always. Yes, you won it all and made it to the presidency, but who and what did you have to sacrifice to do it? How much will you actually be able to do for people, how many promises can you deliver on, who did you have to abandon along the way? Conversely, if you lost the game due to principled stands, you may have stayed true to who you are, but you'll not be able to do much with that - likely returning to a Senatorship or Governorship, or even lower down the rungs.

With the pieces all set Wallace, Taft, and the unanimously nominated Thurmond all find themselves in a race that will decide not only the identity of their individual parties, but the very identity of the Nation itself. This is not just a battle of everyone's identities as people, but a war for the very soul of America, an Identity War! Based? Based on what? Quit being an edgelord, you just messed up so badly lmao. Have fun meeting with President Landon while in the Senate LOL."

Unexpected Gameplay Change: Several mods change the gameplay or goal from the usual, including 1972d and 1844c: The Widow's Son. Another example is 1792. Anyone familiar with the 1792 election knows that it was uncontested, with Washington winning every electoral vote. The point of the mod is therefore not to win the presidency, but the goal of the player as James Madison and Thomas Jefferson is instead to win the vice presidency for George Clinton, as he's aligned to their Democratic-Republican faction, while John Adams is associated with Alexander Hamilton's Federalist faction.The Campaign Trail is an interactive simulator of various select American elections, from 1844 to 2020. Hot-Blooded: Various candidates can be this at various times, but Harry Truman probably takes the cake, giving Dewey hell and slamming the 80th "Do-Nothing" Congress at every possible opportunity. (Dewey himself, if he repeats his 1944 tactics, can also retain a reasonable degree of this.) Nixon refuses to debate you, and most of the voters know it. This will definitely hurt him at the polls. In the next election, Dewey made another run at the White House, but was thwarted by his old rival Harold Stassen, who went on to narrowly lose the White House to incumbent Henry Wallace. Dewey's frustration with Republican failure to win the presidency is only matched by his bitterness at being scorned by the party for an election he knows he would've won. Played for Laughs in Sumner '68, where it turns out that a time-displaced Charles Sumner's opponent, George Wallace, was actually possessed by Andrew Johnson, who is trying to destroy America from beyond the grave.
