Presidential Election Game

Description
In this game, you are running a campaign to become President of the United States. You must decide your strategy in campaigning, including where you spend your time and money, what positions you take on issues, which issues you emphasize, and how you present yourself. The game takes place essentially in 2016, with some minor changes. These changes are mainly that all of the politicians are made up, and some current events changes.

Resources
The goal of the game is to win the election. To do this, you need to win both the primaries and the general election. There are five "resources" which effect your ability to win. These are: Name recognition is how much people knwo your name, and know who you are. This gives you a bigger amount of people to convince to vote for you, and gives you a better chance of doing well early on in the race. Trustworthiness is very important for many independent voters, and is the trust that voters have that you will keep your promises, believe what you say, and are not corrupt. Likeability is the appeal the candidate have as a person, and how much the voters would want to meet the candidate. Fundraising is the ability to raise money, key for being able to stay in the race and spend on commercials. Finally, legitimacy is the voters' view of the candidate as viable, experienced, a good speaker, and in the primary the belief that they could win the general election.

Groups
There are several groups of people (for example religions, factions within a party, races, economic classes, etc.), and each group has a general position on each issue, different priorities on diferent issues, and they will have different views for each candidate. Each state has a different mix of these groups, and candidates have a different amount of the resources among each group. However, it is important to determine which groups you want to gain support from, and as a result determine where you will campaign. Every category has a group of "other" or "mixed", which will be counted as more of the national average. Below are a list of the groups :
