Jack Franklin didn't sleep all night, and two words kept echoing in his heart: in politics, in politics, in politics!
Since he unexpectedly met Teresa halfway through the cocktail party, his beauty did not make Jack Franklin unsteady. On the contrary, the other party lighted a small flame in his heart, and Jack Franklin himself developed this small flame into a prairie fire.
The next day
Jack asked for leave, and the boss generously allowed it. Most of the time, he thought it was because he had been too much at the cocktail party and needed a day to cushion the chaos after the crazy head.
In a quiet cafe, Jack and Teresa meet again.
This time, he was nervous and nervous to face the woman who claimed to be a Republican lobbyist.
There were drinks in front of the two, but neither moved. After a brief silence, Jack spoke hesitantly.
"Miss Serena, can you assume first, suppose I accept your invitation, and then, next, can you tell me what qualities I need to have to successfully run for the top position."
Teresa smiled faintly and nodded, "Of course. OK, suppose you want to go into politics and become a campaigner, first of all, you have to learn the experience of successful people. The current US president is a woman, but you cannot copy this woman's success. She is a well-deserved winner in the political arena because you may not be able to fight for the political capital she has. However, her ex is your role model."
Jack nodded deeply, and he agreed with the other party's first half.
Sheila's qualifications in the political arena of the United States laid the foundation for her to rise, and her excellent work experience won the hearts of the people. In addition, she was once the first lady and herself a woman, her exposure has gathered a considerable number of people's bases for her, especially the favor of female voters. Such capital can only be said to be unique and formed by a series of accidental and inevitable combinations. If others want to imitate it, it is impossible.
He wondered: "Are you talking about President Obama?"
Teresa nodded and smiled, "That's right. When Obama was running, although the background was that the Republican Party was unpopular under Bush's rule, the approval rating plummeted, and the Democratic Party successfully fought back, but you must recognize Obama's personal charm. In New York, Berlin, and Paris, Obama can hear people shouting: Obama. Obama... He is a natural star. After all, he must be able to make a show and win people's favor. If you take a closer look at Obama's resume before he ascended the presidential throne, you will find that there are more people who are better than him. Before the election, he was an unknown person, and even his opponents would ask: Where did he emerge?"
As a voter, Jack nodded suddenly. He understood some things, but he needed some advice. He could only understand the window paper.
In New York, mayoral elections, governor elections, including presidential elections, he will not fall behind. This is part of his pride as an American, exercising the right to vote. It is his power as a citizen of the United States, using, exerting functions, and building this country according to the will of the people. It is the foundation of the United States.
Paying attention to elections is an open and habitual part of life. Jack naturally understands that as an American politician, he should not be too implicit and serious, be open, understand show skills, and learn to please voters. Obama is a good example. Not only did he have an ordinary experience, but he also counterattacked as a black man. His "star effect" played a crucial role, which Jack must learn.
After giving Jack time to think, Teresa continued: "Study successful people are part of the learning, and you should also take the losers as a warning. You used to have excellent test scores in school, but to run for the top, you have to master a lot of knowledge. First of all, it is naturally the situation in the United States. You need to know what the Fed does, you also need to know the differences in laws in each state, and the consequences of economic policies. These are the reasons why you don't study political science in school, and your confusion will become a weapon for your competitors to defeat you."
Jack had a little sweat on his head.
He had excellent grades in school ten years ago, but he would probably be difficult for him to pass the same test paper ten years ago.
He also understood what Teresa said very well.
When Obama counterattacks and takes over, it is also due to the competitor's mistakes.
At that time, the deputy of the Republican candidate who participated in the election, a female governor, was a terrible performance in helping the candidate run at the beginning.
When she faced the media, she showed her ignorant side in her knowledge category!
She said that the head of the UK was the Queen of England and others told her that she was the Prime Minister.
She said the Federal Reserve is a state-owned bank and others told her that it was a decision-making body for the United States monetary policy.
She said that Russia, the United States' enemy has always been their neighbor, and others told her that Russia and the United States are not on the same continent...
There are many unexpected situations that people have not expected. These parties participating in the presidential election are unexpected. Testing a person participating in the election must go through a comprehensive measurement. Debate is a key link in the election. Your knowledge determines the success or failure of the debate. This is the female deputy who is ridiculous at the beginning, becoming a joke for the American people, which has helped the popularity of Obama to increase sharply. This is a seesaw. When you come down, you will be praised by the people on the other side.
Ignorance is not a mistake, and ignorance should not be criticized.
Just like in China, there are many ordinary people who think that the Japanese emperor has the greatest power, and think that the Japanese Prime Minister also wants to bow down to the Japanese emperor. This is indeed an ignorant side, but so what?
Ordinary people only care about their own lives and live a peaceful life. Who cares about whether Japan is the emperor or the prime minister? Who cares about whether the US president has the power to command the governor? If some people think that the US president can drive the governor like the Chinese president, this may make the American people laugh out loud, but is this important?
You know if you know, but don’t know. If you don’t know, you don’t know. If you put it on ordinary people, it has no impact on their lives.
However, ignorance is a fatal flaw for politicians who want to go into politics, manage the country, and participate in changing the affairs that affect the world!
Jack examined himself and felt that he still had great shortcomings in knowledge, or that he was actually an ignorant child.
Seeing that he seemed to be nervous and disappointed, Teresa smiled gently and said, "Don't be nervous, you are still young, and next year you will only participate in the state assembly election, and the knowledge area you need to involve is not as wide as that of presidential election. In other words, you must first participate in the policy decisions of this state. All you need to know is the situation of this state, of course. If you still hope to take a bigger stage in the future, you must understand the United States in all aspects. Even the world, from the economic, cultural, political, military, etc., because the President of the United States is a powerhouse whose words and deeds will affect the world."
Jack felt a little calm, there was still time. There was still time...
Next, Jack had an in-depth conversation with Teresa, and it was not until night fell that they parted in the cafe.
Teresa, who walked out of the cafe, turned a street and went into the back seat of a car. Bonton in the driver's seat looked at the rearview mirror and asked softly: "How is it?"
"He is already moved. You send a message to Chris, let him build momentum on the Internet, fabricate the news that Jack Franklin is appreciated by the Republican Party, and intends to recommend him to participate in next year's New York State Assembly election."
Bonton nodded and wrote down. He drove away.
......
Within two days, Jack's life seemed to be turning upside down. When he went to work in a law firm, his colleagues would always come over to cheer him up.
Even the boss invited him to dinner with a kind look.
New York politics has been in full swing. As soon as the news that Jack Franklin might enter the political arena came out, the people support such a civilian hero to take office, which can benefit them more and defend the rights and interests of vulnerable groups.
Although Jack's boss may face the situation of losing an excellent employee, he hopes to establish a long-term friendly relationship with a member of parliament. Compared with the two, the long-term benefits brought by the latter are obviously greater.
Jack's life suddenly entered a state of "chaos" and his calmness was no longer there.
He was still hesitating whether to accept Teresa's invitation from the Republican Party, but one night five middle-aged men in suits visited his home.
When these five people revealed their identities, Jack was very surprised.
These five people are powerhouses from the Democratic Party.
They are here to invite Jack Franklin, hoping that Jack Franklin will join the Democratic camp and participate in the New York state legislator election next year.
The American political parties are very open. The party’s common deeds are not as tragic as other parts of the world. Different voices are allowed within the party. At the same time, there are no rigid requirements for party members. It is not like some parties who join the party for life...
In all elections across the United States, some people represent the Democratic Party this year, the Republican Party next year, and the minority Party next year. This is not without precedent. Joining the Party is free.
Tonight is another sleepless night.
Jack Franklin talked with Democrats all night long, and the other party gave him benefits and stated the pros and cons. The biggest advantage of the Democrats is that Jack Franklin is just enough to run for state legislator next year, and he is native to New York State, which is the back garden of the Democrats!
Even if Jack Franklin is now a hero in the eyes of the people, if he represents the Republican Party to fight the Democratic Party in New York next year, he may not have a high chance of victory.
On the contrary, if he represents the Democratic Party, his success rate for next year's election will be almost certain.
In recent years, New York State has fallen into a campaign to be won by the Republican Party as the Democratic back garden, and the Democratic candidates broke out during the campaign, thus giving the victory to the Republican Party.
But the advantages of historical heritage are still unmatched by the Republican Party.
Jack was hesitating at first.
Because the recent domestic political trend is the detriment of the Democratic Party!
The Sanraka farce of Hillali caused the Republican Party to target the Democratic Party and take the opportunity to attack. It is a fact that the Democratic Party’s approval rating has dropped slightly.
Thinking about this, joining the Democratic Party seems to be in a bad mood.
But these politicians still can easily convince Jack Franklin, who has no political experience.
They told Jack Franklin very frankly.
If you go to the Republican Party, that's the icing on the cake.
Come to our Democratic Party, this is a timely help!
So what if you represent the Republican Party and win in New York next year? Then your political career will stop at the level of a state legislator.
Because in New York State, the Democratic Party will siege you! When you are not careful, you will knock you into the abyss!
On the contrary, if you join the Democratic Party, the party will focus on cultivating you because you are a star now and are deeply loved by the people. If you can continue to maintain your future, your future will be limitless.
Jack Franklin made a decision after a night.
When he was a voter, every vote he cast was a pro-Democratic candidate. After all, the environment in which he grew up, in every election, the Democratic Party's momentum was the most fierce and most natural victory. Who made New York the Democratic Party's back garden?
Therefore, he decided to join the Democratic Party!
The next day, he told Teresa about the news regretfully and apologetically, and when Republicans came to win him over, he chose to refuse.
Teresa wished him good luck and then sent a message to Tang Xin.
"The goal determines political engagement, and the Democratic Party will support him. Next year, he will be a New York State Assemblyman."
