"Nothing else?" Li Colin wanted a more affirmative answer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There are a lot of them, but you have to be American, you haven't been president of the United States for two terms, and so on. Eric smiled and lifted his empty cup and motioned for another cup of coffee, "If I had to double-check it from start to finish, I wouldn't be in time for the last subway of the evening." ”

After Li Colin helped Eric shout coffee, he leaned back on the sofa and spread his arms: "We all know that I can't become the president of the United States, I just want to consult ......"

"Nothing is impossible, Colin. Eric interrupted Lee Colin, "Two years ago, a nonpartisan male cat named Hank ran for Virginia legislator and got nine votes, and if I was given enough money to run this thing, maybe he already had his own office in the Legislature." ”

"Well, that's a good joke. Li Colin smiled dryly, "I'm honored to be on a par with Hank." ”

"No, Colin, I'm a big joker, but not this time. "It's a joke that I call Magneto because I can't bend a spoon with my mind, but you can run for president, and that's two different things." ”

"Can that cat really run for Congress?"

"The law never says that you have to be a 'person' to run for Congress, and the most critical requirement is that the candidate must be an American citizen, which Hank did. ”

"Hahaha!" Li Colin laughed, "If Hank really succeeds, Congress will definitely be forced to pass the 'Cats Can't Campaign!' bill to remove Hank from office!"

"What about you? If you become president, will you also pass the "Colin can't be president" bill?" Eric, looking at Lee Colin very sincerely.

"......," Li Colin said embarrassedly after confirming that Eric was serious, "this is crazy...... I like you very much, Eric, I can tell you the truth, I want to use the election campaign to cheer myself up, to let the outside world and my relatives see that I have changed my mind and learned something, my goal is not to become a congressman or a president, just work hard. ”

"It's not a conflict. Eric nodded, "Running hard, and running successfully, it doesn't conflict at all, I can understand you Colin, you just don't want to admit it......"

Eric said and raised his right hand, his thumb and index finger as close as possible without touching it: "You don't want to admit it, you have a little bit, just a little bit, you want to be the president of the United States, you think it's a shame, that's all." ”

"Hah!" Li Colin smiled even more awkwardly.

This guy is a real genius!

Yes, no one wants to make an effort that is fruitless!

Even if the main purpose is to win favor, it doesn't mean that you don't want to succeed!

Li Colin just doesn't want people to feel like he is talking about a dream, and wants to give people an evaluation of "he has tried, he has done a good job, but this thing is too difficult, and failure is reasonable", rather than "This idiot also wants to be president?"

Previously, whether it was Jenny, Roger, or Philip, their expressions were full of ridicule of "this idiot also wants to run", and the rest, including Donald, had to be very reluctant to accept it.

There is no doubt at all, only Lin Xiaozao and Eric in front of him, and there must be O'Neal, but Li Colin has not told him about it yet.

What makes Eric better than everyone else is that he can see at a glance that Li Colin is troubled - afraid of embarrassment, afraid of embarrassment.

Although Colin Lee has a bad record and there is nothing to be ashamed of, it is Li Colin who will have to face the media and treat others in the future, and he does not want to bring a lifetime of shame because of the whimsical incident of "an idiot threatening to become president", and he wants to cover up his shame with the reasons of "just trying" and "seeing where he can try".

Eric is really not a gentleman at all!

Fortunately, Susan arrived in time to bring new coffee, which gave Li Colin a short buffer.

After thanking Susan, Lee Colin pushed the new coffee to Eric: "Eric, this is so embarrassing...... I just wanted to ask you a few questions about the state legislature race. ”

"I'm sorry. Eric also admitted his gaffe, laughing at himself again, "You know, Magneto is an unscrupulous old villain. ”

After the embarrassment eased slightly, Li Colin asked: "I want to know, is there enough time to compete for the state legislators in the fourth constituency, what do I need to do, and how to do it." ”

"Fourth District...... "Eric muttered," "is this district in western Los Angeles County, dominated by Santa Monica? ”

Li Colin nodded with satisfaction, it is too powerful! One sentence makes clear the main contradiction in the constituency!

Eric continued: "If you're just going to run and muddy the waters, you just need to contact a campaign company, pay them hundreds of thousands, and they can do what they have to do." But don't expect to get a lot of votes at this stage, the only thing I know for sure is that you should get more votes than Hank back then. ”

"What if I want to put enough pressure on Philip?"

"Oh......" Eric sighed, scratching his fluttering silver hair, "the Democratic Party has an absolute advantage in the fourth district, and Philip is the Hispanic stalwart of the California Democratic Party, with absolute support from the party, the best way is to change the district, if you have to bring him down, you have to invest a lot of money, and you need a president-level chief of staff." ”

"Chief of Staff?" asked Li Colin, "is that what you mean by a staff officer, a strategic adviser?"

"It's closer than that. Eric gestured, "It's like an ancient Chinese military advisor, or master." ”

Li Colin couldn't believe that Eric could say such standard Chinese as "military teacher" and "master"! Perhaps these two things were too Chinese, and English had no corresponding vocabulary, so he had to use pinyin to pronounce them.

Eric himself felt that it was inappropriate, and Li Colin could not understand it: "It's like a strategic adviser who is very close and has real power." ”

"I understand what you mean. Li Colin raised his hand excitedly and said, "You're talking about the relationship between Liu Bei and Kong Ming, right?"

This time, Eric was surprised: "I heard that you haven't even read a primary school textbook, and you actually read "The Epic of the Three Kingdoms"!"

"I'm actually a fan of Chinese culture. ”

"Yes, thousands of years ago, the Chinese people had done everything in the world. Eric exclaimed, "I don't really like them, I study them because they're useful." From "The Art of War" to "The Epic of the Three Kingdoms", they have already summarized all the methods of human struggle, and we have just replaced swords with guns, and scolded with media attacks. ”
