A while back, @lord caedus was kind enough to allow me to write a sort of "finale" to the famed American Commonwealth project. This is a short timeline covering the events between 2015, where the timeline left off, through 2021. It is not meant to be an official continuation of the original project and is not a collaborative venture. I figured this would be a quick and easy way to polish up on my wikibox and graphical skills while topping off a story that I've always longed to see completed. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane as much as I have!
PHILADELPHIA: Tom Tancredo announced this morning in an appearance on ABS's Meet the Press that he will be standing down as leader of the American Heritage Party after nearly five years at the helm of America's fastest growing political party. Tancredo, who told host Chuck Todd that it was time for him to "saddle up and ride," did not endorse any particular prospective successor and instead encouraged the party to hold "an open and robust debate." Tancredo stated that though he will retire as leader of the party, he is not resigning his seat in parliament and will serve out the duration of his term in the House before retiring. "We gave a voice to millions who were voiceless" said Tancredo in defense of his tenure as party leader, "and we got the ball rolling on something incredible." Tancredo went on to highlight the Tea Party movement of the last decade for fueling his party's rise in fortunes, stating that the party "tapped into something really big" and "touched a nerve in Philadelphia as a result." The announcement of Tancredo's retirement came as a surprise to many, as he had previously indicated as recently as last month that he planned to lead the campaign through the next federal election in 2017. When asked about this, Tancredo simply said "things change, new opportunities come up, fresher faces emerge." Tancredo's resignation goes into effect on May 31st, with the American Heritage Party National Committee slated to meet next week to hammer out the details of the party's now upcoming leadership election.
As Tancredo prepares to exit stage right, speculation is swirling about the party's future. Under Tancredo, the party made a stunning comeback, having risen from just four seats in the House of Commons to 36; one of the "gang of four" who survived the party's slashing defeat in 2010, Pennsylvania MP Rick Santorum, is the first candidate to emerge from the woodwork as a potential successor to Tancredo, tweeting earlier "I'm in" just minutes after the announcement was broadcast. But while Santorum may perhaps be the most politically seasoned member of the American Heritage Party's parliamentary caucus, he will do doubt face other challengers. Other prospective candidates include businessman and radio talk show host Herman Cain of Georgia, Libertarian MP Ted Cruz, Iowa MP Steve King, former Idaho MP Sarah Palin, and businessman Donald Trump. With the bulk of the American Heritage Party parliamentary caucus consisting of list MPs, the party boosts a more flexible and open field for the leadership than in years past....
Trump Tower was abuzz with energy as the crowd, hurriedly assembled, awaited the arrival of America's most outspoken billionaire. The news had been leaked to the press that very morning, and it was predictably met with an explosion of reactions. It only took three hours between the leak and the official announcement for the atrium of Trump Tower to be filled with enthusiastic supporters, all of them New Yorkers who had long known about Donald Trump and the role he played in the cultural and business life of the city. Most had voted for him or supported him fervently during his New York City mayoral campaign in 2011, which had famously been captured on film by HBO as an Emmy winning documentary entitled "In the Arena." But very few of those who gathered were actual members of the American Heritage Party; most were traditional Tories and more than a few were longtime Liberals. But what drew them to Trump Tower was a deeply held, widely shared belief that the system needed to be shaken up, and that "the Donald" was the man to do the shaking. The major networks - the American Broadcasting System (ABS), CNN, Sun News, and a hodge-podge of other smaller and newer cable news outlets all aired a liveshot of the empty podium, with reporters, pundits, and viewers eagerly awaiting the spectacle with baited breath.
Neil Young's "Rocking in the Free World" played over the speakers, and Trump looked down upon the crowd and cringed, because it was smaller than he had hoped for. Regardless, he took his supermodel wife's hand and began to descend down the escalator as the crowd erupted in wild cheers. It was as if Elvis had walked in, and Trump smiled genuinely as he absorbed the reaction and reception. His favorite child (a fact his other children openly acknowledged) Ivanka followed them, with their youngest son Baron beside her while Don Jr., Eric, Tiffany, and their respective partners and children followed in the wings. Stepping to the side of the stage, Trump turned to face the few hundred or so supporters, his vision panning from each side of the room to the other, as if he were actually trying to count the number of supporters who had showed up. Though his body language and outward demeanor changed as his daughter began to introduce him, he was still focused, almost obsessively so, on the numbers. The crowd was small, but New York City was a Liberal Party stronghold and the American Heritage Party only pulled a tiny fraction of the vote in the metropolitan area, finishing well behind the Progressive Democrats and Tories during the 2013 Federal Election. There was room for growth, Trump realized, and instantly his survival instinct and cunning ruthlessness kicked in. "I'll make sure of that" he thought to himself smugly as Ivanka finished her remarks.
"Wow" Trump began, "what a tremendous crowd of people! Tremendous!"
"Our Commonwealth is in trouble, big time folks. We are in serious trouble. Our country is a laughingstock all over the world......ISIS, Mexico, China, are all beating us. Everyone is beating us. Our enemies are getting stronger, and we are getting weaker. The politicians are all talk and no action, and they're all doing a great disservice to you, the people, and to our Queen and to our Commonwealth. They will never be able to fix our country! They will never be able to solve the problems that they've created, though to be frank, I think they might be the problem itself. I cannot sit back and watch this incompetence any further!
Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially announcing that I will stand for the leadership of the American Heritage Party.
While I love my company and the yugely successful business we have built, I love my country even more. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let's say China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time, all the time. When did we beat Japan at anything? They send their cars over by the millions-and what do we do? When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo? It doesn't exist, folks. They beat us all the time. When do we beat Mexico, at the border? They're laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they're beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me, but they're killing us economically. When was the last time that the Empire won a war in which the enemy just threw down their guns and said "we quit!" as they ran away? It just doesn't happen anymore. The Commonwealth of America has a unique position within the British Imperial family of nations, and frankly we have been the might and muscle of the Empire for well over a century now. So it's time we start acting like it again.
The Commonwealth has become a dumping ground for all of the world's problems. It's true. And these aren't the best or their finest. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people. It's coming from more than Mexico. It's coming from all over South and Latin America, and it's coming probably, probably from the Middle East, but we don't know because we have no protection and we have no competence. We don't know what's happening. And it's got to stop, and it's got to stop fast.
Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. They've become rich. I'm in competition with them. They just built a hotel in Syria. Can you believe this? They built a hotel. When I have to build a hotel I pay interest. They don't have to pay interest! We can't even go there. We have nothing, and every time we give Iraq equipment, the first time a bullet goes off in the air, they leave it. Last week I read 2,300 Humvees--these are big vehicles--were left behind for the enemy. Two thousand.....you would say maybe two, maybe four. But no! It was 2,300 sophisticated vehicles. They ran and the enemy took them.
Last quarter, it was just announced, our gross domestic product, a sign of strength, right? But not for us. It was below zero. Who ever heard of this? It's never below zero. Our labor participation rate was the worst since 1978. But think of it. GDP below zero. Horrible labor participation rate. And our real unemployment is anywhere from 18-20%. Don't believe the 5.6. Don't believe it. That's right. A lot of people up there can't get jobs. They can't get jobs because there are no jobs, because China has our jobs and Mexico has our jobs. They all have our jobs. But the real number, the real number is anywhere from 18, 19 and maybe even 21% and nobody talks about it because it's a statistic that's full of nonsense. Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger by the day!
The Commonwealth needs a comeback. But we are not going to get the comeback story we need and deserve if we keep allowing the politicians to write it. They are almost completely controlled by lobbyists, donors and the special interests—they do not have the best interests of our people at heart, they are not as creative as the people whom they govern, and frankly, the script just isn't that compelling folks.
When we pick the next Prime Minister, we can't send just another politician to #1 America Avenue. They will grow government, not cut it....they will grow debt, not stop it. We are right now in a massive bubble that could be ready to explode.....real unemployment in the range of 20%, artificially induced low interest rates, and a stock market that bears no relation to reality.....these are symptoms of something that could be catastrophic. We better have a great leader who truly understands what’s going on. We better have a great parliament filled with great people who truly represent the American electorate because they actually come from it. Right now, our country has a debt which will soon pass $20 trillion. We have unsecured borders. There are over 90 million Americans who have given up looking for work. We have 45 million Americans on food stamps and nearly 50 million Americans living in poverty.
Clearly, our so called “leaders” in Philadelphia are failing us bigly. They have failed to honor their sacred duty to care for our veterans and their families. They have failed to keep our military strong and vibrant. Through gross incompetence, we give billions of dollars of high grade military equipment to our enemies. Our Prime Minister, she's a real winner....she doesn't have a clue, she's completely beholden to Bernie Sanders and the Progressive Democrat socialists who nearly destroyed this country. So who is going to stand up to Bernie Sanders? Bobby Jindal? Give me a break. The guy is a choke artist. The guy is so weak that he couldn't negotiate his way out of a paper bag. He's so weak that Mitt Romney wants his old job back, and Romney was the one who kept the socialist and Marxists in power for two whole years! Can you believe that?! A socialist Prime Minister supported by the Tories. That's why people turned to the American Heritage Party two years ago, and that is why, under my leadership, the American Heritage Party is going to win for the first time!
But the world is becoming far more dangerous every day. Iran is racing towards developing nuclear weapons. China is exponentially expanding its military power, ISIS is beheading Christians simply for being Christian. In Benghazi, Islamic terrorists killed our diplomats without any consequences. Iran and ISIS, separately, are taking over vast areas in the Middle East and with it the largest oil reserves in the world. Our Prime Minister has no plan.
The America we love will continue to decline because Philadelphia is broken. We will never fix Philadelphia until we send people to parliament who truly represent us because they come from us. It is time for government to be run efficiently and effectively. It is time to get things done, and by done I mean properly done! This is our time to once again make our government a government of the people, by the people and for the people. That is why today I am declaring my candidacy for the leadership of this great party, so that we can work together to make America great again!
The 2015 American Heritage Party Leadership Election was held at a party conference conducted in the wake of Tom Tancredo's decision to stand down as leader of the party. The convention, which was comprised of 701 delegates, elected businessman Donald Trump as leader of the party over longtime Pennsylvania MP Rick Santorum. Trump's election was leader of the party ended a whirlwind campaign in which the outspoken candidate made a number of controversial, false, or racially charged statements which were condemned by many quarters outside of the party. Trump, who did not hold a seat in parliament either as an constituency or list MP, did not indicate during the campaign whether he would stand for the House of Commons in 2017, a fact that Santorum claimed was a sign of a scam. Yet Trump's bombastic rhetoric and outsized personality endeared him to members of the American Heritage Party, which grew rapidly as hundreds if not thousands of voters changed their voter registration after attending the largescale and raucous "MAGA" rallies held across the country.
Trump defeated Santorum and famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson on the first ballot, resulting in his election as party leader. Three other candidates, including list MP Virgil Goode, Iowa MP Steve King, and Senator John Bolton had initially launched campaigns for the leadership, but ended their campaigns before the opening convention, with King endorsing Trump whereas Bolton and Goode backed Rick Santorum. Two other potential candidates, former Idaho MP Sarah Palin, and Libertarian MP Ted Cruz, were courted by various factions of the party as potential contenders for the leadership. In the wake of Trump's election, Cruz praised Trump as "a tough talker" who "would be a breath of fresh air" but did not express any intent to defect from the Libertarians to the American Heritage fold while Palin, who endorsed Trump earlier on in the leadership campaign, stated that Trump had invited her to stand for parliament in the riding of Alaska, which she previously contested in 2013.
Reaction to Trump's election ranged from ridicule to rage to jubilation; while Conservative Party leader, whom Trump attacked in his announcement address, dismissed Trump as "a fraud" and a "phony conservative," other key conservatives were more worried. The Liberal and Progressive Democratic parties both released statements attacking Trump, describing the new leader of the American Heritage Party as a "white nationalist" in terse condemnations of his remarks about Mexican migrants. The Anti-Defemination League and the Southern Poverty Law Center both called on social media to take down video of Trump's remarks, which they described as "hate speech." Yet Trump's inflammatory rhetoric was widely celebrated within his party, with American Heritage supporters expressing optimism that the election of the Commonwealth's most controversial celebrity would bring the party greater opportunity to expand their numbers.
