Rudy publicly declared on TV that as long as he was elected mayor of New York, the Staten Island ferry would be free. This aroused cheers from voters on the spot, especially those living on the north side of Staten Island who took the ferry every day like migratory birds.
The secretaries gang happily shouted slogans such as "I support Rudy" to the neighbors...
"Oh, such a big change overnight?" Ronald also went back to Staten Island the next day, and even took a ferry. Everyone on the boat was happily chatting about this policy. These
It is a rare opportunity for lower-level white-collar workers to have fun, and they can save hundreds of dollars every year.
When we arrived in Staten Island, many houses had "Support Rudy" signs in front of them, and they continued.
"Look, aunt, the former commander-in-chief and senior senators have all written to me to persuade me to join politics..." Ronald showed his aunt several letters of praise from high-ranking people that had been forwarded by the Elephant Party.
.
"Oh, my Ronnie, this really makes me happy. But you don't really want to choose the commander-in-chief, do you?" The aunt was happy for a while, then helped Ronald put away the letter, but still asked this question a little hesitantly.
question.
"I'm not yet of legal age to run for office. Besides, today's politicians are doing a good job. Although President William is a donkey party, he also cracks down hard on crime, and the economy is also improving. If that happens,
Naively, I need to stand up and say it. Right now, my interest is still to serve the public with movies..."
"Yeah, I think so too. If you put this photo here, I'll be happy to see it." My aunt held up a large photo of a typical politician running for election that Roger Ailes took for Ronald.
Put it on the table. Speaking of which, Ronnie is really handsome, at least much more handsome than that guy Rudy.
The next step is to deepen the relationship with old acquaintances on Staten Island, such as several uncles from Little Doug's family, the general manager of the factory, and the chairman of the union, etc. who have some influence on the ballot.
They heard that Ronald represented the islanders of Stanton and fought for more policies from Rudy, and they all had a sense of honor that "I have someone to protect me." Staten Island is not that forgotten city.
District, but clearly has an antenna leading to the mayor... As long as Rudy can win.
"Mr. Li, let me ask, should we vote for Rudy?" A short, thin girl boldly asked Ronald in English with a Spanish accent.
During the subsequent cordial meeting with people, Ronald also imitated the current commander-in-chief William and went directly to other people's homes to chat with them about trivial matters in life. Although Ronald's personal charm was not as good as William's, after all, he belonged to only half of the community residents.
The boss, everyone still admires this boss with Hollywood gold rim. He always caters to Ronald with his words, which makes him very happy, thinking that his charm is no less than that of the commander-in-chief.
"America is a free place, no matter who you want to vote for, you can. I can only speak my own opinion, Rudy cares more about our island than Dinkins, that's for sure." Ronald
Of course, we can't say anything that violates America's greatest political correctness, we can only imply it.
"If you ask me, we will vote for whoever Ronald says we will vote for. Without him, we would have no jobs..." A typical white man with blond hair and beard next door in the crowd did not understand how to appreciate this kind of high-level courtesy.
, expressed his thoughts directly.
"Mr. Li, I also very much agree with Rudy's care for me. Me, my sister and my mother can go to Manhattan for free, but I saw this in my mailbox today. I'm a little scared..." The girl said as she put a
A card was handed to Ronald.
"What is this?" Ronald took the postcard from the girl's hand. It was sent by an organization called the Campaign Integrity Committee. On the front was a slogan, "If you come to vote, make sure you have a green card, because immigration
The Bureau is catching illegal immigrants.”
Turning it over, there are frontal photos of the politicians leading the two committees, with their names and positions written below. They are current New York Yankees president Randy Levine and former New York Elephant Party Congressman John Sweeney.
Ni.
Everyone looked at the things in Ronald's hands and did not dare to speak. In fact, everyone knew that the girl was an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, which is further south from Mexico. The family had experienced ten years of war, and finally made a decision to move forward.
She traveled through Central America, ran from the border into America, and then jumped on a Greyhound and arrived in New York. Her family was relatively conservative and did not want to go to the unsafe places of Brooklyn and the Bronx. She would rather take a ferry to the countryside.
I moved to Staten Island and found work in a factory.
"Of course, the volunteers at our polling station are all workers in our factory. Who dares to stop you from voting?" Little Doug and Ronald looked at each other and asked the girl who also worked in the factory to let her whole family vote.
This girl is already in her early twenties, but she looks like she is fifteen or sixteen, which is obviously caused by not eating enough during her growth period.
…
"This is not against you, this is Rudy's trick..."
After receiving a call from Ronald and the other, Roger Ailes gave them an explanation.
During the last mayoral election, many blacks and Latinos voted for Dinkins in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Harlem and other districts, which is beyond common sense. The numbers in many areas are combined with the national census three years ago.
Not on.
After Rudy's investigation, he actually found two cheating methods. One is that a large number of black people who receive welfare and use food stamps take buses to several polling stations to vote for some benefits. The second is that Latinos, especially El Salvador and Honduras,
In two countries that have been at war for more than ten years, many immigrants without green cards also vote at polling stations. Anyway, like other places in America, elections in New York do not check identity documents or green cards.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the main force to catch these people, but they only check at the border. As long as you enter America, New York or any other open-minded
You have a place, you have a job, you have a driver's license, you pay taxes, and everyone treats you as the same person. After all, going back generations, Americans have always immigrated, whether legally or illegally.
Because the largest concentration of Latinos are mainly people who receive welfare and are engaged in manual labor, they all support the policies of the Donkey Party. Not only can they receive food stamps and housing benefits, but they can also have the opportunity to wait for amnesty to become a regular worker.
Therefore, Rudy's postcard from the Campaign Integrity Commission was mainly to intimidate illegal immigrants who voted for Donkey Party candidate Dinkins. It was not intended to intimidate those who supported him on Staten Island.
"Isn't this lying? Is this legal? Well, forget it..." Ronald asked two stupid questions. Originally, Dinkins' bus was also illegal, and isn't it normal for politicians to lie?
"This is walking on the edge of the law. I advise you not to get involved in these things. What Rudy promised to Staten Island and you called on voters to support him are very normal and 100% legal election operations. This is how elections are based.
It operates with commitment and support.
But the Campaign Integrity Commission, I think there will be investigations and prosecutions later. But Rudy should be able to handle it."
Roger Ailes actually answered Ronald's question seriously.
"OK, I'm very grateful. We know how to handle this matter."
I took a vacation at my home in Staten Island and went fishing with little Doug when I had nothing to do. Soon it was time to vote in the New York mayoral election.
Rudy was indeed well prepared. The city's NYPD, firefighters, prison guards, and other powerful system personnel mobilized to form a campaign supervision team. In areas suspected of election fraud, such as Brooklyn and the Bronx, every polling station was in compliance with the law.
There is an NYPD officer of Irish or Italian origin standing there.
They have been standing guard at the election polling stations, threatening suspected blacks and Latinos with their eyes. After the voting is over, they can still stand at the counting place to supervise the vote counters to ensure that there is no fraud.
In addition to these off-duty NYPD and firefighters, the NYPD chief also assigned an additional 3,500 on-duty police officers to strengthen supervision.
Although the voluntary supervisors do not wear uniforms, people like the LAPD are obviously still intimidating. This year's order is also much better than last time. These voluntary supervisors are very motivated. Dinkins reduced his salary on stage.
When Rudy comes up, he can divert the huge New York City government funds to powerful departments like them, and let the environmental protection departments who have been happily counting money for the past four years go to drink the northwest wind.
Dinkins himself voted at Gracie House on the Upper East Side, but by noon he was holding a midday press conference at City Hall, accusing Rudy's camp of launching a "heinous campaign of voter intimidation and dirty tactics."
The charges, based on Dinkins' poll watchers and campaign staff, include allegations that hundreds of small posters in Spanish calling for votes for Dinkins were posted in Washington Heights and the Bronx. The posters suggested that if
Illegal immigrants who try to vote will be arrested at the polls and deported.
Rudy, who also voted on 86th Street, a famous high-end residential area on the Upper East Side, immediately accepted an interview to refute, "I can assure you that this has nothing to do with my campaign. This is exactly what I can do to their camp.
expected."
Sure enough, Rudy made a small change to reduce the risk. He asked these voters to vote for Dinkins on the poster. But this line of writing was very small, and the illegal immigrants below would be deported if they voted.
The note is even more eye-catching than the title.
As evening approached, the exit polls clearly indicated that Rudy had won an unexpected victory this time. Dinkins, who got 51% of the votes last time, only got 48.3% this time, and Rudy was expected to win more than 50,000
Preponderance of votes wins.
This gap is wider than the gap between Dinkins' victory last term. It is also the first time since 1965 that an Elephant Party candidate has been elected mayor of New York City.
In the evening, Dinkins could no longer support him and prepared to go to the core black community to deliver his defeat speech. As the first black mayor of New York, he also set an embarrassing record. After one term, he was biased against black people.
He was so angry that he was kicked out of the city hall.
"We have to admit failure, admit the results, don't go to the streets, don't go to the streets..."
"Boo, go back, you white man's lackey!"
Dinkins' call was met with opposition from voters of his own ethnic group. They did not expect that the black mayor was actually a softie. He did not dare to take to the streets to express his appeal after failure. What was the use of saying that Rudy's supervision was unfair?
ah?
In the end, the protest escalated, and voters began to attack Dinkins. The current mayor had to leave the market quickly under the protection of bodyguards.
There was no leader among these people, and the hundreds of NYPD on site prevented them from moving. The worrying thing finally did not happen. Soon, Rudy also delivered a victory speech at his campaign headquarters.
"I came to New York when I was seven years old. I went to school in Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Queens. I only missed Staten Island. Of course, I am no stranger there. My good friend, the Hollywood director Luo
I have also been to Nader Lee's house...I would regard myself as the mayor of New Yorkers, not the mayor of a certain ethnic group, nor the mayor of a certain district, but the mayor of everyone...
"
The TV was still replaying Rudy's speech as "The Mayor of New York for New Yorkers". Rudy had already called Ronald and Little Doug to say thank you.
"Ronald, I thank you. I can win this time. Staten Island's contribution is the greatest..."
"Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The voters of Staten Island appreciate your proposal to waive ferry fees..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ronald has no personal demands, but Rudy's promise cannot be ignored, so he must be reminded on the spot.
…
"Is it actually useful to play like this?"
The next day, the voting numbers for the election came out, and Ronald was surprised when he was sitting at home. Compared with the previous election, this time, the difference in votes between the two districts was the most obvious.
With the incentive of free ferries on Staten Island, the difference in votes between Rudy and Dinkins was more than 28,000 votes more than the previous election.
The second largest increase in votes was from Dinkins' vote base, Brooklyn, which was basically the same as Staten Island, with more than 27,000 more votes.
On the surface, this poster is an appeal to support voting for Dinkins, but it is actually a poster intimidating illegal immigrants. Coupled with tens of thousands of NYPD "supervisors" on and off duty, it has indeed started to spread in Brooklyn and Manhattan, where there are many Latinos.
It worked wonders.
"Yeah, it actually works like this..."
Both Ronald and Little Doug felt the power of Rudy's move. Not only was this publicity strategy one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes effective. Moreover, such a controversial poster was on the TV media on the morning of the election.
It is originally stipulated by law that canvassing activities are not allowed on the day of voting. The hands and feet of both parties are tied on the day of voting when marketing is most effective.
However, such a rumor that people who vote without a green card will be kicked out of the country can play a very strong propaganda role in Dinkins' protest as a news report. The Spanish poster on the screen can be understood by Latinos.
, and what’s even better is that Dinkins can’t refute the rumors.
"Ronald, the large-scale promotion of the Philadelphia Story is about to begin. When will you return to Los Angeles?"
The publisher of Philadelphia Story, Mike Medavoy of TriStar Pictures, called and urged Ronald to go back to discuss additional marketing expenses. The film performed amazingly in external test screenings, and the feedback was
The most common thing is that I cried when I saw it...
"Well, I'll go back. We still have to discuss it. The mayoral election in New York has given me a lot of inspiration..."
