Ronald came to the St. Regis Hotel in New York. The Elephant Party's fundraising party was once again held in the most upscale and oldest hotel in Manhattan. Both Douglas Jr. and George Jr. were waiting for him at the door of the party, fearing that
Ronald couldn't find his way among a group of politicians.
"Donna is on vacation. I'll bring her to see the world." Ronald was holding his cousin in his arms. Young people, especially young girls, need to see more big scenes, so that they won't be ignored.
People cheat.
"Your cousin wants to talk to the deputy commander's wife about something, let me show you around." Little Douglas noticed that Donna was a little embarrassed in this kind of situation, so he took the initiative to take her to meet some rich second-generation locals in New York who work in investment companies.
Donna happens to be popular in that circle.
"Okay, thank you." Donna let go of Ronald's arm and went to expand her network of contacts.
"This is the famous director in Hollywood, Ronald Lee. This is the senator from Louisiana, Mr. Dan Quayle." Little George introduced several politicians to Ronald who he thought he could get to know each other.
, this Mr. Quayle is very handsome, a bit like a movie star.
"This is also one of the candidates for deputy commander. They all came to see the current deputy commander, George Sr., for an 'interview.'" Little George reminded Ronald in his ear. Since the primary election passed Super Tuesday, Sr. George
Leading all the way, today there is no doubt that he is the candidate representing the Elephant Party in this year's general election.
As long as he passes a technical procedure next month, he will be able to sprint for the general election with all his strength.
To this day, George Sr. has not yet announced his running mate. Elites in the party who have further ideas can all come to visit him, hoping to be selected by him as his running mate in the general election. Just like when Sr. George was the current Sr. Ronald
The commander-in-chief is like his deputy.
"I'm going to see my mom. She's meeting some people's representatives inside. Just wait a moment. Your idea is very good, but my mom still needs to come forward for this matter." Little George thought it was the politicians he introduced to Ronald.
After introducing them all, I went to find my mother, Barbara, to meet Ronald. The former and current ministers of labor and transportation needed the deputy chief’s wife to coordinate.
"Little George doesn't seem to be very happy?" Ronald asked quietly to the returning little Douglas. He stayed in New York during the election season and was well-informed. Donna was surrounded by a group of rich second generations there. This kind of thing can
The wealthy and handsome MIT graduate shocked the group of people, who gathered in a circle to listen to Donna talk about his company's magical investment formula.
"His younger brother has stolen a lot of his limelight, and the old lady now prefers her younger son Jeb. And little George's wife Laura doesn't get along well with Jeb's Mexican wife. You've seen it, it's like a TV show
It's like a feud between wealthy families." Douglas gave Donna the opportunity to enjoy the limelight alone, and came back to help his partner Ronald deal with it.
"Hey...", Ronald smiled, no wonder little George was very nervous and only introduced some familiar politicians to himself. Is this because he was afraid that the politicians helped by Jeb would pry him away as the financial backer?"
"Why does the deputy commander still hold so many fund-raising meetings when he has already won the primary election?" Ronald also asked quietly in Douglas Jr.'s ear, "Don't you mean that the primary election is the most expensive?"
In the electoral system of America, both parties give very high campaign subsidies to candidates. During the primary election, the amounts are not high and are scattered among the candidates. At the general election stage, there is only one bettor, an individual.
The financial pressure is actually relatively small.
"Have you heard that the two candidates in this year's election may be the most boring election since Harry?" Douglas Jr. asked Ronald a question. Ronald shook his head. He actually didn't pay much attention.
.
"Old George has no charm at all. He was able to win the primary election only by relying on his fundraising ability. He used TV ads that were several times the amount of others to defeat several competitors in the Elephant Party. His campaign consultant, Lee A.
Tewatt is used to using large advertisements to amplify the dark spots of his competitors."
"Oh," Ronald understood. This meant that the deputy commander won the primary election solely because of his wealth and hard knocks. Then wouldn't the situation be worrying if he ran into a charismatic candidate in the general election?
Seeing Ronald's thoughts, Douglas Jr. smiled and said, "It's similar to the one across the street. The Greeks are also a very boring and rigid group of people. This year's showdown between the leaders will be the boring Yankees vs. Dixie."
When Ronald heard that he was of Greek origin, he understood that Olympia Dukakis's cousin, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukaski, had qualified for the Donkey Party's primary election. "Has he announced it yet?" Ronald
Nader remembers that the Donkey Party’s primaries were much more intense than those of the Elephant Party.
"The Donkey Party National Convention will be held tonight in Atlanta, Georgia, and it will be officially announced. Dukakis is not much better than George Sr. He also used TV ads to slander his competitors to win."
Donkey Party Iowa led by candidate Dick Gephardt, who ran as a populist and surged in support. Illinois Senator Paul M. Simon unexpectedly finished in second place
, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis finished third.
But when it came to New Hampshire, Dukakis ranked first, Gephardt fell to second, and Simon ranked third. This is because both Dukakis and Simon placed negative comments against Gephardt.
TV ads saying he is a candidate who supports policies that eliminate union monopolies.
The workers did not know whether it was true or false, so they saw too many smear ads and wrote many letters to the United Auto Workers (one of the most powerful unions in America) who supported Gephardt. The union had no choice but to withdraw them.
Support for Gephart.
Ronald had seen this person's appearance in the newspaper, and it was really worse than old George. He looked like a monkey, and his speech was boring and a disaster.
"Mom Barbara, Mama Barbara." I saw Barbara, the wife of the deputy commander, walking over. She was stopped by a group of black children, vying to get close to Barbara. This was also Roger, another campaign consultant.
Arranged by Ayers, in response to the recent dark advertising attack by Duka Keith attacking George and his wife for discriminating against black people.
"I'm not your mother, kids," Barbara said, pulling away from a teenage black girl who was calling her mom, something that reminded her of Mark Twain's novel, "My kids."
There, George and Jeb, I'm their mother. You'd better go back and find your own mother."
"Hey..." Roger Ailes, who was looking at the photojournalist capturing the picture next to Ronald, also covered his face when he saw this scene. The couple both looked the same. They were born into wealth and had little understanding of the lower class.
.
"Ronald, Doug, hello. Little George said you are here, and I must come to meet him. The action committee led by you has done a great job for my husband."
As soon as Barbara saw the two of them, she was very happy and made a big effort by donating a lot of money. In addition to the donations from Ronald and Douglas Jr., there were also some people with the same ideas, such as those who were surrounding Donna now.
That group of people also paid a lot of money.
"Hello Mrs. Barbara, this is my cousin Donna", Ronald introduced his cousin to Barbara.
"Ha, your cousin praised you to the sky. How is your mother?" Barbara praised her, which made the rich second generation around her jealous. To be able to talk like this with the wife of a candidate for the leadership.
Family matters, maybe Donna's ancestors were one of the first New England immigrants and had been friends with the George family for generations, and she didn't know which famous lady her mother was.
Ronald watched with great joy. He and his aunt's family were both from low-income families, and his uncle was just a classmate of his father who played in the mud since childhood.
It's no wonder that a large number of supporters of Old George are from such wealthy families. They support Old George because they want the current leader's preferential tax policies to continue.
The wealthy are mainly concerned about two types of taxes, the deferral of personal income tax and the continued deferral of capital gains payments.
As the race to succeed Ronald Sr. began to emerge last year, it became clear that taxes would be a central issue. Grover Norquist, the head of Americans for Tax Reform, laid out a pledge not to impose new taxes and
Republican candidates are encouraged to sign the pledge.
Many congressional candidates signed on, as did George Sr.'s primary rivals, Jack Kemp and Pete Dupont. George Sr. initially refused to sign the pledge, but at the beginning of the year, eventually acquiesced.
George Sr. doesn't like to take a clear stand. He likes to keep a secret in order to see whether the situation will be favorable in the future. When the campaign consultant met his biggest intra-party rival, Bob Dole, he even used this promise not to raise taxes to attack Dole.
Dole, because Dole supports tax increases to ensure fiscal balance.
"I came here mainly to ask for your help..." Ronald told Barbara that he wanted to invite two female ministers (secretaries) to participate in the marketing of "Working Girls" and asked Barbara to help connect them.
"It's no problem," Barbara agreed happily. This is now a piece of cake for her. She is respected wherever she goes. Nancy can no longer bully her. Why should she serve as the leader for eight years?
, it’s this superficial Hollywood actress who takes the limelight, and it’s her turn... ahem, it’s her turn for a real professional woman to come forward.
Ronald was very happy. This kind of marketing strategy can only be implemented by someone with a wide network of friends like him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know which way the minister’s office door opens.
"By the way, my movie will be released at the end of the year. When the deputy president wins the election, it will be just in time..."
"Hahaha, Ronald, you always make me happy." Barbara laughed. She was very satisfied with Ronald's wording of "until" the deputy commander won the election instead of "if" he won the election.
.
"I'm not familiar with the deputy president's staff. Does he have a secretary? Before the movie is released, I also want to ask his secretary to help promote our movie in Washington, D.C. The secretary of the deputy commander-in-chief must be
Will it be popular?"
Ronald struck while the iron is hot. Ordinary people don't know so many political things. Wouldn't it be interesting for the secretary of the commander-in-chief to recommend a movie with the secretary as the protagonist?
"Ahem..." Barbara's face quickly turned cloudy. She was noncommittal and lightly hit Ronald, "When you come to Washington, D.C., I will give you a ticket for the inauguration ceremony."
"Thank you, Mrs. Barbara." Ronald didn't know what he said wrongly. In short, he offended Barbara a little. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with him and was not a stranger. Barbara gave
I stayed with Ronald for a few minutes, and then went elsewhere to accept the losses from others.
"You shouldn't mention George Sr.'s secretary." Roger Ailes liked Ronald, a young man. He came up with several ideas and played a big role in politics, and he had a close relationship with George Jr.
, gave him a lot of grades and money, which won Barbara's favor. So I had to explain the matter clearly to Ronald to avoid causing greater misunderstandings.
The younger son, Jeb, had a close relationship with another candidate, Lee Atwater, and he was forced to form a vague alliance with George Jr. in the Bush family. He could not let his biggest outside ally fall into a trap.
"Jennifer Fitzpatrick, in front of Barbara, is a name that cannot be mentioned..."
"Who?" Ronald was confused.
"Ask your friends, little Doug knows more about politics than you do." Roger Ailes said and left.
Ronald turned to Douglas Jr.
"Jennifer Fitzpatrick was George Sr.'s secretary and his lover. Barbara wanted to threaten divorce but did not break off the relationship. In the end, it was because Roger Ailes warned Sr. George that the election would be inevitable.
Someone will take advantage of this and make a big fuss in the media. In this way, George Sr. broke off the relationship with Jennifer Fitzpatrick and sent her away from Barbara."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Old George’s family and people around him know about this matter, and many media also know it, but they do not report it. The young Douglas, who is living in New York, has no idea about this kind of politics.
Gossip, but much more familiar than Ronald.
Ronald saw that Donna was also there, holding Little Doug's arm and listening, and said to her, "Why don't you go socialize with those potential customers? Is Little Douglas so attractive?"
"Those people don't have high IQs and their brains are not flexible. In comparison, Doug is quite smart."
"Hahaha..." Ronald and Douglas Jr. both laughed. Donna still had sharp words and was quite smart, which is already a high praise.
…
"What we are showing you now is the video of the Donkey Party National Convention held in Atlanta today. The convention officially elected the governor of Massachusetts, Michael Dukakis, as the next candidate for the office of governor.
Also announced was his running mate, U.S. Senator Lloyd Bentson of Texas.
The following is the situation at the scene.”
In the evening, Ronald went back to his house on Fifth Avenue. Donna was too lazy to go back to her apartment on Long Island, so she found a bedroom with Ronald to sleep in.
After the two had dinner, they were watching TV.
"Oh, it seems that this year's election will be a complete Yankee vs. Dixie battle," Donna said to Ronald while drinking coffee and pointing at the TV.
"How to say?"
"You see, although the deputy commander is from New England, he made his fortune in Texas and entered the political arena. Now he is generally regarded as the representative of Texans. So Dukakis wants to find a Texas senator.
Counteract George Sr.'s influence in the South.
I think George Sr. will eventually find a Massachusetts politician as his running mate."
"That's not necessarily true, right?" Ronald thought of the Dan Quayle he saw today. In short, this year's election has clear barriers. On one side are urban elites, on the other side are country cowboys, on the other side are liberals, and on the other side are the electronics industry innovation base.
Conservatives, we must preserve the tradition for America.
The conference opened with a female singer singing.
"Let the rivers run
Let all the dreamers wake up the nation
Come, New Jerusalem..."
"Pfft..." Ronald spit out a sip of coffee. Isn't this the theme song "Let the river run" written and sung by Carly Simon?
How did it become the theme song for the Donkey Party National Conference?
"What's wrong with you?" Donna handed the tissue to Ronald.
"Hey, I'm going to make a call." Now that this song has a national exposure opportunity, we can't miss it. We must continue to keep it popular, which will be of great benefit to the movie box office.
"Who is this person?" Ronald told Michael Gray about the new development and asked him to consider this factor in his marketing plan. After chatting for more than 20 minutes, he came back and found that the TV was still on the TV when he went to make the phone call just now.
A handsome guy started giving a speech.
"This is the governor of Arkansas. He is very handsome." Donna pointed to the person on the TV and said, "Someone was gesturing to him to come down just now, but he said it very well. Why should you tell him to come down?
He talks more charmingly than Dukakis, is more organized, has a higher IQ among politicians, and is approachable."
"We want Michael, we want Michael" the audience's cry came out through the television broadcast.
"I know you want Michael (Duka Keith) to be the commander-in-chief. I have tried to tell the national audience your reasons for supporting Michael..."
The speaker stopped helplessly and explained to the die-hard Donkey Party voters in the audience who asked him to leave. These people are all loyal supporters of Dukakis, but the election is decided by the middle voters. Isn't this a
A good opportunity, a good opportunity to promote political opinions to the people across the country through television broadcasts?
"Hush..." The die-hard Donkey Party followers below were even more unwilling to listen and began to boo him.
A senator from the Donkey Party tried to shout to him to ask him to end it as soon as possible. After that had no effect, he walked up to the governor of Arkansas who was speaking and made a throat-cutting gesture to him.
"Let me list the achievements of Governor Dukakis such as balancing the budget and welfare reform. Ronald Economics is just a scam. It is impossible to balance a finance that cannot make ends meet..."
"This person can be the commander-in-chief in the future." Donna drank the last sip of coffee. She admired this kind of politician who had financial knowledge. It was much better than the current commander-in-chief who only knew how to spend money and ignored the soaring deficit.
With a snap, ABC also saw the gesture of slitting the throat. In addition, booing a speaker at the Donkey Party conference was too outrageous and appeared to be a serious internal conflict, so it simply cut off the scene of the speech.
"It seems that ABC doesn't think so..." Ronald smiled in response to Donna's comment.
