Messi: "[Lex] has taken this step?" – not surprised, not delighted

Daly: "(Observe)... You just knew?"

Messi: "In order to avoid arousing suspicion and revealing my identity, I have never contacted [Lex] since I came to Paradise Island, and I have not deliberately collected relevant information about him... Her Royal Highness the Princess should be well aware of these circumstances. ”

Dai Li: "Yes, I know very well, after all, I have carefully investigated you. ”

Messi: "But there are some situations that Her Royal Highness still hasn't been able to investigate, right? For example, what is the relationship between me and [Lex], and whether the two of us have a special communication channel... Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me this to test my reaction. "—punctured

Dai Li: "Now that you've seen through it, don't you take advantage of the situation?"

Messi: "Why should I pretend? As long as [Lex] can continue to walk, my worth will naturally rise, so why should I add to it?"

Dali: "You're putting your life on someone else's side by doing this. ”

Messi: "The object of my life is [Lex], not anyone else. —Correction

Daly: "You trust [Luther] so much?"

Messi: "Yes. - Firm

Daly: "... Also, no matter how the election campaign changes in the future, [Luther] has already confirmed his election as vice president of the United States. ”

Messi: "[Lex] elected vice president of the United States?"

Dalie: "Yes, [Luther] is an independent candidate, not affiliated with any party. In the future, he will be invincible either by co-running with the candidate of the "Elephant Party" (the Republican Party of the United States) or by running with the candidate of the "Donkey Party" (the Democratic Party of the United States). ”

Messi: "Poof, hahaha~~" - couldn't help but laugh

Dali: "What are you laughing at?"

Messi: "I'm sorry, Her Royal Highness doesn't understand [Lex's] nature too much to make such unreliable inferences, I shouldn't laugh, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me." ”

Dai Li: "You say my reasoning is not reliable?"

Messi: "Yes, [Lex] is by no means the kind of person who is willing to be a green leaf and a red flower and is willing to make a wedding dress for others. He ran for the presidency of the United States of America with one purpose in mind. ”

Dali: "Naive, does he really fantasize about eating swan meat?" - disdain

Massey: "In the United States, no one is going to be vice president when they enter politics. ”

Dalie: "Ambition is one thing, reality is another. I dare to assert that even if [Luthor] had a unique charisma that made his core supporters loyal and loyal to him, and there would be no 'whistle blowing, red and blue will go to the side' (red for the Republican Party and blue for the Democratic Party) when voting, he will never be elected president of the United States with 10% of the vote!"

Messi: "Unconditionally, unprincipledly compromising and bowing to reality is not [Lex's] character, and I dare to assert that [Lex] would rather lose the election than become a vice president." ”

Dai Li: "Why? Although the vice president of the United States is not as powerful as the president, he has entered the core of American power. Moreover, the U.S. Constitution stipulates that the vice president is the first candidate to succeed the president, and once the president dies, resigns, or is impeached during his term of office, the vice president will immediately succeed him. ”

Messi: "What His Royal Highness said is not true, on the surface, the vice president of the United States has a high status, and often attends various ceremonies and ceremonies on behalf of the president, which is very beautiful; in fact, the vice president of the United States has always been insignificant in history, and is laughed at as the vase position of "appendix" and "chicken ribs". The first vice president of the United States, Adams, once disdainfully said, 'The position of vice president is the most boring job ever invented by man.'" Although the vice president also serves as the president of the Senate, the vice president votes in the Senate only on the sidelines, without the right to vote, and only when the number of votes is equal, the crucial vote is cast. So, the second vice president [Jefferson] lamented helplessly, 'I have nothing to do but sit and listen to endless speeches.'" [Wilson's] vice president [Marshall] lamented, "The vice president's job is to ring the doorbell every morning and ask the president if he is healthy." If every governor has a president waiting to emerge from the cocoon, then every vice president has a dead president in his heart... At least when in office. —Tell me

Daly: "So, [Luther] is definitely not going to become the vice president of the United States?"

Messi: "That being said, we can't rule out anything at the moment. ”

Dai Li: "Hehe, why did you change your mind and get scared?"

Messi: "I didn't change my words. "—incomprehensible

Dalie: "Open your eyes and tell nonsense, you just said '[Luthor] would rather lose the election than be a vice president,' and you forgot about it after a while!?"

Messi: "I haven't forgotten that if the scales are 'election defeat' and 'being vice president', [Lex] will never choose 'to be vice president', but if the balance is 'election defeat' and 'using the vice presidency as a pedal to ascend to the presidency', [Lex] will not choose 'election defeat'." - smiled at him

Dai Li: "Clever words. ”

Messi: "The subordinates did not express themselves well, which made Her Royal Highness the princess misunderstand, and it is really a crime that deserves death." "—Honest and terrified

Dai Li: "Hmph, you are so useful, how can I be willing to let you die?" - loosen your mouth

Messi: "Thank Your Highness for not killing." "-Hit the snake with the stick, and hurriedly thanked him

Dai Li: "Don't rush to thank you, I still have something to ask." ”

Messi: "Your Highness, excuse me." ”

Daly: "What's going on... (pointing to the front page headline of the Daily Clarion) What do you think?"

Messi: "It's a trap for the Republican Party, in order to 'rub' off [Lex]." ”

PS: "Rubbing" is also "rubbing glutinous rice balls", a political term in Taiwan Province, which refers to the fact that there may be several candidates in the same constituency or in the same camp, and at this time, one of the candidates may find a way to dissuade the competitors. Or it can be coordinated within the political party to avoid a situation where the snipe and the clam compete and the fisherman profits.

◆

Dai Li: "Not necessarily, [Mi Rong Ni]'s support rate in the "Red Camp" is just over 30%, which is not very high, [Luther] is not without a chance at all, maybe there will be a miracle on the day of the vote?"

Messi: "What if a miracle happens, will the 'Elephant Party' really nominate a person from outside the party to become the party's presidential candidate?" - shaking his head

Dai Li: "You don't think the Elephant Party has this kind of grace?"

Messi: "It's not a question of belly. The "Elephant Party" is a century-old party with its own unique political philosophy and political stance, and if it elects outsiders just because its own people's polls are low, where will it be for the party? If the big party cannot put forward a presidential candidate, the party will be finished. ”

Dalie: "If this is a Republican trap, as you say, why would [Luther] jump in?"

Messi: "[Lex] must have his own considerations, I don't know what his subordinates are. "—Tell the truth
