    I'd hook the young crowd by being a huge weed advocate

    Slogan: "The things that matter"

    Let's see here... BryanM 2036!

    Presidential Slogan (Running with party in power): Continuing Prosperity and Equality!
    Slogan (challenger): Real Change!

    Platform:

    1. Reform of campaign finance laws with a constitutional Amendment overturning Citizens United

    2. Increase of minimum wage to $15/hr, along with equal pay for women and paid family leave for new parents

    3. Expanding our healthcare to a Medicaid For All/Public Option system

    4. Decriminalize the use of drugs, and send addicts to rehab facilities instead of prison and free those in jail for drug use with no other violent offenses

    5. Reform the Civil Rights Act to include LGBTQ individuals, and to enact federal hate crime laws that punish those who harm trans individuals

    6. Increase taxes on capital gains and speculation to help pay for tuition free higher education for those who want it

    7. Change the way policing communities works by having all police officers have body cams, practice community policing and having local departments reflect the communities they represent, and have federally appointed special prosecutors from the Attorney General's office investigate every instance of a police shooting/police brutality case

    8. Reinstate Glass-Steagall to enhance Dodd-Frank

    9. Adopt an official stance of being 100% energy independent on renewable energy by 2070

    10. Become more involved with the UN, and become a nation that practices [eace through diplomacy

    11. I'd have more official stances, but these are the 10 main ones I'd focus on

    I'm using the most popular campaign at the moment as a model

    Step one: have more money than the competition
    Step two: christians
    Step three: racism
    Step 4: profit.

    A pragmatic progressive who'll go to Washington to get things done.

    AwesomGaytheist: Making Right-Wing Heads Explode Since 1995!

    ---------- Post added 26th Jan 2016 at 06:53 PM ----------

    Here's how my campaign ads would go:

    (Ominous deep voice)
    "As governor, he kept his state's budget balanced without cutting education or raising taxes on the middle class, he solved one of the worst man-made public health crises in human history, and stopped his Republican predecessor's massive giveaways for corporations and the rich. AwesomGaytheist has never stopped fighting for the people of Michigan, and as President, he'll never stop fighting for you.

    BryanM...I think your heart is in the right place. But I sure hope at least some of what you promise to do will be done long before 2036! Although the way things drag out sometimes...

    Not sure about my campaign, but some slogan ideas do come to me.

    "Any natural born US citizen can grow up and run for President! And BMC77 proves that any means any!"

    Or perhaps: "A terrible choice, but strangely enough not the worst choice this year."

    Or "At least, he's better than anyone running for the Republican nomination! Not that that takes much."

    Here is my policy.

    Full Equality for all, if rules are broken I shall execute the rulebreakers. I'll be like the first leader of Athens.

    Here is my slogan

    Obey me or die.

    Hehehe
