I think Judson is kinda stupid because he is allowing a control freak to take control over his campaign.

I think it was a good choice to have Lane be Judson's campaign manager because he has more knowledge about politics and advertisement strategies.

I agree with your answer Abigail. Lane does have more knowledge about the whole running for president thing and Judson just takes it and makes his answers his own....not very good on his part. What I mean by that is when Pete Guerra asked Judson what he is going to do once he becomes president, Judson said that he was going to install a skateboard ramp in the Oval Office and redecorate the White House with hip-hop posters. Judson also explained that the only reason he was running for president is because he found out that the White House had a bowling alley. What kind of president is he?

I think different on if Judson is stupid. He Has been smart along the book. He found a way to tell his family that he was running for president without them really knowing. But I do agree that Lane is being a control freak in a lot of ways. He didn't let Judson pick his first babe.

I think so far Judson's decisions are OK they were not the best. He could've made better ones but it is what it is. Judson did make the right the decision about Lane because in the beginning of the book Lane said he knew a lot about the government but Judson just has the smarts to run the government.

I think he wise enough to let Lane be in charge in till campaign because lane is really smart and can help Judson in till campaign.

I think it is not smart because lane is telling Judson what to do to much. Like when he wanted Abby to be his first lady but lane said for Chelsea to be his first lady and when he had a bird named snot lane said to change the name to cuddles

I think it is wise because Lane is very smart and wise. Lane is very determined to help Judson win the election.

So far I think all of Judson's decisions are good decisions because they have all seemed to have played out well. I think it is wise and unwise at the same time to let Lane completely control his campaign. I think that Judson should have some say in whether something should or shouldn't happen. I know from past experience if you let one person take control they become to think they are in charge of everything you do. But, sometimes if Lane wasn't in charge Judson would have made some pretty bad decisions.

I don't think Judson made a good choice by leaving Lane completely in charge, because Judson may want to do something Lane doesn't want to do, like what to make the campaign signs look like or what he has to wear to interviews. At this point it is where Lane is not letting Judson do even a little of what he wants. I think Judson should be allowed to run it his way with the help and knowledge of Lane.

I don't think Judson has been making wise decisions so far. He is being too careless about the whole campaign. It is probably not wise to let Lane run the campaign because all he cares about is feeling like "King of the Hill". However, Lane is probably providing a good strategy in order for Judson to get elected. I have noticed he's very serious when it comes to their plan and he isn't at all like Judson who thinks the whole thing is a joke.

I can see you point of view but, I have a different point of view. Do you think that now Lane wants more that to feel like "King of the Hill" because Judson has not given him any recognition that I have seen so far. I can see clearly what you are trying to say and I can see your point of view from the story. your response was amazing!

I think that Judson's decision so far are not that great. He said some kinda unwise things while getting interviewed with Cap Times, like how he was running for the "Lemonade" party, and how he said that his opinion on race was that he always wanted to see the Indianapolis 500. I think that it is wise to have Lane control his campaign because he seems to know a lot more about politics than Judson does. So I think that Judson is a good speaker, and has a charming personality but when it comes to writing speeches, for example, Lane would be a perfect for that kind of role

No, I don't think he's wise about letting lane control the entire thing because Judson has to apart of the campaign because he is the running for President so he should get to help make decisions.

I think Judson has made some poor decisions. First, he allows Judson to manage his campaign. Then, he decides it's smart to do what Lane says without question (a little question [a lot of question {he agrees to what he says, is my point}]). Then he doesn't look over Lane's speech (spoiler alert, there's an awesome speech). That is how I came to the conclusion that Judson has made some pretty poor choices.

I think it is a good idea because it seems like Lane would know more about presidents and what to do and what not to do, so he could help Judson with that kind of stuff, considering he loves watching things about politics and elections. I think it was a bad idea because Lane can be a little bossy and rude sometimes, and also a perfectionist. For example, he said that Abby wasn't pretty enough to be Judson's first lady. I have heard many things about Hillary will be the first lady to be elected president if she wins.

I think Judson's decision was wise. Sure, Lane did choose his first babe, Chelsea, when Judson wanted Abby, but he also knows a lot about politics while Judson does not. Lane is a control freak, but he also got Judson an interview with a news reporter. Lane did allow Judson to make some of his decisions. Judson got to choose his running mate, June Syers, and he got to say whatever he wanted while he was doing the interview. I would have thought Lane would have told Judson not to say anything crazy, but Lane never said anything about. This allows Judson to get more publicity with people since he can be himself. Also, since Judson didn't even know how much money it would take to run for president, I think he made a very wise decision.

The Kid who ran for president is a really good book so far. I enjoy reading about what you have to do to become president. It seems like running for president as a kid is a lot different than running as an adult. When I watch some of the speeches at home they plan to do things that will change the United States for the good! On the other hand, Judson Moon is trying to become president because of a bowling ally!

I think Judson has made pretty good decisions so far in the story, I think this because he was able to get the 2000 signatures he needed to get on the ballot. Also he is running the campaign correctly because he got June Syers to be his running mate therefore he will get the African American vote and the elderly vote. I think his decision to make Lane in charge of the campaign was good because Lane knows ways around politics and he was able to get him on the news so the word would get out that he was running for president. Lane is also determined to get him to be president so he can feel like he is the king of the hill. I wonder why Judson thinks he is not going to win the election?

I think that so far Judson has made good decisions on how he is running to be the president of the United States Of America. But I do not think that it was wise of him to let Lane take complete control of the campaigning for him, I think that he should only have put Lane in control of half of the campaign. That way Judson could still make some of his own decisions. One thing that I thought was interesting in the book is that when Judson told his mom and dad that he was going to go play outside and get struck by lightning all that his mom said was "OK as long as no body gets hurt." I like it how the book makes it the kid running for president and says "adults have had the last thousand years to mess up the world now it's our turn." I think that it was really funny, I wonder if Judson will get elected. I would like to see how he is as president. In the book Mrs.Syers says that Judson is opening a big can of worms and I agree with her because, being president is the worst job in the world, everyone hates you no matter what you do.

On page 34, Lane tells Judson that Abby can't be Judson's first lady because Abby's not pretty enough. Judson then has to ask Chelsea Daniels, who is a little bit of a brat. Also, on page 46, Lane tells Judson that the sponsor idea was terrible, although Judson still thinks it could work. Thinks makes Judson feel stupid. All and all, I don't think it was wise of Judson to make the deal with Lane. He should be making the decisions that he thinks will work.

I agree, but what about writing about what you think of Judson's decisions?

I think that Lane should not control Judson for the presidentsy because Judson is the one who is actually running for president not Lane so Judson should be able to do what he wants, altho Lane is very good at talking to people like when he was talking to Pete Guerra. He just shouldn't tell what Lane should all the time, he should only give him ideas like he's supposed to.

I disagree because if Judson made a wrong move he could mess everything up, if Lane is in charge that wont happen, like for example if Lane says, read this in a speech, and Judson disagrees he could say something potentially bad or something that someone would disagree with.

I think he wasn't thinking that well because Lane is really bossy and kind of mean. I know it would be cool to run for president so I get it just being in a election for anything would be cool. I don't really know if it hurt to pose a question because I don't do it.

I think that Judson made a good choice letting Lane control the campaign. He has made all good choices so far, except the whole "Chelsea Daniels" thing. She is pretty, but you should be friends with your first lady, and Judson isn't. Like Obama and Hillary Clinton . He should have picked Abby in my opinion. I wonder if he will actually make it!

I agree with you, he should have picked Abby because they have been friends for longer. She would have supported Judson more than Chelsea, she is just doing it for the parties and pictures.

yes,i do think he is wise to let lane take complete control over the campaign, because lane knows what hes doing for Judson. because according to chapter 10 , lane called Pete Guerra from cap times,however if he didn't call Pete then Judson wouldn't be interviewed and then Judson wouldn't be on TV.

I think that Judson's decisions are poor because decorating the White House with posters will not benifit the world. It was wise to choose Lane as his campaign manager because he knows a lot about politics and is sneaky. Judson knows little about politics, Lane knows a lot and Judson has a campaign manager like most politicians.

Judson should be able to do what he wants because hes the one running for presidency so he could choose abby to be his first babe. If i were Judson i wouldnt let Lane boss me around.

I think that Judson should have thought of he idea of Lane taking total control of the election. Even though Judson has no clue what to do if he was running it. Judson would have more fun if he was in control of like, the First Babe, and well... The idea would sound a lot more fun if he could get it the way he wanted to be.

I think Judson was smart to let lane take control. I think this because on pg. 27 lane said " It hides how stupid you are!" . Lane said that because Judd got in a fight with Arthur Krantz who knows a lot about politics, and Judson barely knows anything about them. Lane knows a lot about politics, so its good he can tell Judson what so say! Judson was smart to let lane be his "Master"!

I think Judson shouldn't be so bossed around by Lane because he's the one running for president. Lane could help with some things but not all of it, on Chapter 6 Lane states that he will only help if he gets to be in charge until after Election day. He is smart and Judson appreciates that Lane is helping him but Judson needs to do more.

I think Judson Moon should not let Lane take over his campaign because Lane may be a control freak and overly take over the campaign.He may also take this way to far.

I love the book so far and can't wait to read more! But to respond to the question, I think it's unwise to let Lane run the whole campaign! Yeah he helps but Judson should have the right of at least picking his first babe or first lady to be exact. Lane really does help but it is Judson's campaign, he should take charge at least a little more!

I also like the book to Evan, but I have to disagree. I say this because even though he is a control freak, he is going to make him president because he is really smart. So that is why I disagree.

What I think Judson dessions so far have been super stupid he is making him self sound super stupid even though he is a little stupid. Lane should and should not be in charge because lane is not nice in a way because he will not let Judson chose his first lady he will only let him chose who he wants to have and that is how they got Chelsea. It is also good Lane is charge because it does not make it look like Judson is stupid and that is a good thing so more people will vote for him in the Elections and not be voted out right away.

I think that Judson is not wise to let lane completely take over his campaign because like it says in chapter 6, Lane wants to tell Judson what to wear, what to say, when to say it, and everything. I also think that lane is a bit bossy at times. I mean what does Judson do when lane tells him that he has to wear his underwear on election day.

So far I think Juddsons decision wasn't so wise. I think this because he let Lane take COMPLETE CONTROL over the whole thing. He should have been able to make his own decisions. Like the decision of his "first babe" Chelsea in my opinion he should have chose Abby for his "first babe". He should not have let Lane take COMPLETE CONTROL over the campaign and running situation.

I think that Judson should not let lane control the campaign . One example on why is that he chose Chelsea just because she is prettier that Abby which is rude . Also he doesn't care that Judson is nerves about going on stage .

I do not think that Judson has made good decisions so far. When Guerra asked him questions his responses were very poor. He said that he would put a skateboarding ramp in the oval office. Also he doesn't seem to be taking the campaign very seriously. I know I would not be taking it seriously but, I would never run if I wasn't going to take it seriously in the first place. Also, I do not think that Lane should have complete control over the campaign. I think that they should have equal share in the decisions they make except on some things like the speeches that Judson has no clue what to do with.

Judson Moon has not made the best decisions like planing to install a skate boarding ramp inside the White House. Also Judson Moon should not give Lane full control of his campaign he needs to make some decisions. Like Abby being my First Babe.

I believe that Judson Moon is making pretty bad decisions so far such as letting Lane being campaign manager because he is making pretty bad mistakes too. For instance, Lane chose Chelsea instead of Abby to be the first lady based on looks. But Judson wanted to pick Abby because they have been best friends forever. Also, Chelsea only agreed to be his first lady because she would get to dress nice and go to parties. Another reason should not have let Lane take over control is because Judson is the one running for president of the United States. Plus, Judson made a great decision on making June Syers his running mate because she is smart and is wise.

My thoughts for Judson Moons decision for choosing lane for his campaign manager for everything before the election was a good and bad idea here are the reasons. The first reason why lane is a good campaign manager is because he has more guts than moon and he has the wright choices when it comes for presidents and everything else plus lane made the news reporters come and moon is scared and hates suits plus lane chose the right girl for moon for being the first lady. But lane was a jerk when he said to moon that Abby shouldn't be his first babe and Abby cares for lane while Chelsi doesn't and just did it because there was going to be cameras and parties.

I don't like Judson's choices so far because he's letting Lane take complete control so practically he doesn't get to choose anything and even he though he wanted Abby as his First Lady, Lane made him choose Chelsea which wasn't nice. Judson didn't really protest against that and I think he should have. I don't think that it's good that Judson is letting Lane take complete control of the campaign. It's true that Lane does know more about politics, but shouldn't Judson get a fair share in the campaign? Besides, Judson isn't stupid. Lane keeps telling him to do things that he doesn't want to do and I wonder if Judson will get annoyed.

something new to me is that mrs.syers wanted to be vise president and that Chelsea agreed to be moon's first babe and that they are going to get twenty million dollars by selling lemonade and i think it is funny that the dad's jaw dropped and the mom dropped her glass cup on the floor.

I think that Judson is not making the best decisions so far. Abby is most likely going to be mad. Abby is going to be mad because Judson chose Chelsea over her. Picking Lane to be his manager was a good idea because he knows a lot about politics but Judd on the other hand does not know a lot about politics him self. Judson would make an alright president. The reason that i think he wont be the best president is because putting a skate board ramp and decorating the white house with posters does not solve any of America's many problems.The blog is easy and simple to understand.

Even though Lane knows more about politics than Judson, I don't think he should be taking him over. I think Mrs. Syers would be a good Vice President and I think she's very funny. I have changed my mind about Judson being the President. I said before that he shouldn't have been President because he doesn't know anything about politics. I believe he should be President now because he wants to bring peace to the world and other things that could effect the country. I think Judson should've chose Abby for his First Babe. I wonder if he will make it!

I don't think Judson is making wise decisions at all because he is just doing exactly what Lane proposes for the presidential campaign and I don't think he should be letting Lane get away with making everything in the campaign his way. The one time he actually made a decision for himself was when he said he didn't want to be a Democrat or a Republican which would mean he wouldn't have to attend primaries,conventions and other things I didn't think that was something I would do. Since he is a kid I understand why he wouldn't want to bother with those things but after watching both of the conventions in the 2016 presidential election I noticed that they impacted many of the polls taken afterward, so I think Judson is missing out on needed votes. Besides this one idea that Lane went along with on page 29, Judson isn't doing much decision making. This gives the impression that Judson has no individual opinion; he is acting like Lane's sidekick. Judson doesn't need to be a genius to say that he didn't like that Chelsea was his First Babe and he preferred his preschool friend- Abby. I think a quality president should be able to put up a fight and hustle if he/she doesn't like the decisions someone or a country is making in order to protect his country, so I don't think it is a good idea to let Lane take control. Letting Lane take complete control isn't preparing for the White House. I wonder if Judson will struggle if he elected. The whole idea of letting Lane take over is like blindfolding him and then telling him to run a country.
