Why I am running for Vice President
ligtreb
I don’t need the experience, having been Vice President last summer under Chocolate McSkittles. I don’t need the exposure, I’m already a media mogul and well-known. I definitely don’t need the headaches from campaigning.
When Harrison Richardson asked me to be his Vice President, I accepted, despite knowing my stress level was about to go up and my responsibilities would increase.
This is a critical time in our country’s history, with an invasion imminent, our alliances uncertain and an unknown group on the rise internally. Since my term as VP, I’ve stayed out of Presidential elections, not offering endorsements, let alone agreeing to be on anyone’s cabinet or VP pick. But I felt a duty to this country not to stay silent this month. The stakes are too high for me to stay on the sidelines.
I’m running because I believe Harrison Richardson is the right man to lead this country and want to do what I can to help him help. I was involved in both of Harrison Richardson’s previous administrations, and left both impressed at his abilities.
He knows how to manage foreign affairs and work with allies, which is more important than ever with war looming. He’s not afraid to say something unpopular if it’s the right thing to do.
And more importantly for our country’s future, he knows how to develop talent. I was one of those newer faces he mentored in his first term in 2009, and he made sure his Vice President in his most recent term, Chocolate McSkittles, knew everything he needed to know to be a good President the very next month. Already confirmed for this term, Harrison has recruited Hadrian X to be his Secretary of Defense, which is a spectacular choice. Hadrian is not only a former JCS member but a great friend of mine and a man of the highest character. Both of Harrison’s previous cabinets have been filled newer people ready for a big-time job, and we’ll need to find and develop a new generation of leaders and heroes to prevail in the upcoming war.
It’s a very short list of people I would’ve agreed to be Vice President for, even in this time of need. It has to be someone I can trust to know what’s going on, what needs to be done and how to do it. Harrison Richardson is that person.
I ask you for your support on Election Day and thank you for reading.

I will be voting HR/Ligtreb and you should to
You should be running for PotUS.
The question I really want answered is why you agree to be VP under sub-par candidates instead of running for CP yourself.
excellent article, and I can't wait to vote for you guys on the 5th.
Good luck Ligtreb 🙂
And this is what happens when I take a break from the game for a few weeks... Can't leave you alone for a minute, can I Liggy?

Ligtreb is the only thing exciting and worth voting for on this ticket.
I strongly endorse the Ligtreb/Harrison, er, um, Harrison/Ligtreb ticket.
Richard Harrison has been President of the United States at least three times. His first time, under another character, was to say the least, controversial. Since he's been Harrison Richardson (when he served two terms as President) his conduct has been sterling, patriotic, and intelligent.
Ligtreb is someone I would love to see run for President. But he has an almost allergic reaction to ultimate power, so I guess VP is the most we can ask. I know of no one else in the game who 1) knows more about game mechanics 2) cares more about the United States 3) is better at diplomacy (and it's going to take a lot of that to get us and Canada out of this (yes, Canada will be invaded, too)) 4) is better at casting a pragmatic eye at a problem and thinking his around the corners of a problem.
This is the dream team. The very existence of the United States is at stake. We face invasion from without, and possibly from within.
The combination of Harrison Richardson and Ligtreb is our best shot at victory. Please think about this when you vote.
Emerick isn't around to save us from the aftermath of an HR "Presidency" this time. This movie's already had enough sequels. We need a unifying figure - and HR isn't it.
When you put a drop of sewage into a barrel of fine wine, you get a barrel of sewage. And I'm sorry, ligtreb, but I will not be drinking your "wine."
All I got from this is that you accepted the offer because you're both USWPers and he knows that you're good vote fodder.
Oh, hi Dillan. I promise I'll run after HR gets us invaded again.
You are not running really.
