After the speech, Sheila wanted to show goodwill to the big donors present and continue to seek more support, and Li Kit finally had a face-to-face communication with the presidential candidate for the first time.

"The times are calling for new leaders." Before Sheila opened her mouth, Li Jie first uttered this meaningful sentence, the new leader of the era is not an ordinary title.

"Good evening, Ms. Sheila." His tone was sincere and firm, and his handshake was calm and powerful.

Sheila, who was still smiling politely, immediately felt that the other party had a completely different attitude from the others, and at the same time, she also noticed that Li Jie called herself a special name, and most people would call her Mrs. Clint, or Sheila. And Li Jie calls her Mrs. Sheila, which is obviously also a hint of support for her.

The problems caused by the long-term patriarchal rule of human society are still difficult to solve, just imagine, after she is elected, she should be called President Clint (the reason for the surname of the husband), but that is the same as Bill? Clint could not tell the difference, so he could only call Sheila or President Rodham, and Leejah's title clearly showed his resoluteness and respect.

"Good evening, Bruce, can I call you that?" Sheila's smile was restricted, and her expression was much more serious, but her attitude was noticeably more serious than at the beginning.

"Of course, I'm your supporter." Li Jie smiled.

"To be able to have such handsome supporters, I am afraid that I will receive a lot of negative votes from women." Sheila carefully looked at Li Jie in front of her, tall and straight, young and handsome, especially a pair of bright eyes that were extremely impressive, and it was absolutely impossible to ignore his presence.

"No, ma'am, you are wrong. They will support you as much as I do. "Li Jie did not be as modest and polite as usual, but gave Sheila a completely different answer." And, it doesn't matter. ”

"Oh?" Sheila was really surprised by his answer, Li Jie was completely different from the image she imagined, not only did she not have the slightest hint of Oriental subtlety and calmness. On the contrary, it is full of politician-style old-fashioned spicy and aggressive. That's right, that's how it feels, and although Li Jie doesn't have any out-of-the-ordinary words or actions, his words, demeanors and expressions convey a strong message: strength and confidence.

"You seem to be very confident in yourself, so what's important?" She asked tentatively.

"My full support for you is all that matters, isn't it? Ms. Sheila. You're under a lot of pressure to raise money for your campaign. Li Jie smiled and glanced at Robbie who was standing behind Sheila? Muck (robby_mook), the campaign manager originally seemed a little careless about Li Jie's words, probably not trusting his youth, but at this time, Li Jie's eyes couldn't help but suffocate. I didn't dare to look at it directly.

From the moment we met, Li Jie has been conveying a strong message, I just want to fully support you, and it will definitely be more powerful than you think!

Sheila didn't treat Li Jie as a young man at all at this time, especially when Li Jie bluntly said her current embarrassing situation, which made her have to take a closer look at the other party, and the words full of meaning really made her dare not underestimate it.

Li Jie is not wrong. Her current situation is actually much worse than the outside world thinks. It's all because of her opponent - Jeff? Booth, the former governor of Florida, is the Republican Party's current presidential nominee. With the support of the behemoth of the Booth family behind him, he has burst out with an unimaginable ability to attract gold.

The New York Times had predicted that to send the first female president to the White House, the Hilla camp would spend a record $2.5 billion, double the $1.1 billion Obama spent in 2012. If calculated according to the number of 65.91 million votes received by Obama for re-election. Sheila's average cost per vote in the general election would be $37.92. And such an amount would dwarf her "to the death of her other opponents in both parties."

Right now. These opponents are the last man left, but they are also the most formidable. Jeff? Booth.

Originally, Sheila and Jeffrey both had a fatal weakness - background, which is not only an advantage of the two, but also the most easily criticized place. This is despite the fact that Article I of the U.S. Constitution states: "The United States shall not confer any title of nobility." But this has long been a beautiful picture of the dream of a country born with the ideals of meritocracy, ethereal and unattainable.

As the headline on the front page of the Washington Post the day after the end of the Democratic National Convention -- Can American Family Politics Retire from the Stage of History? This is also the biggest concern of the majority of voters, after all, the two major families of Clint and Booth have dominated the White House for decades.

But when Sheila and Jeff stand out as the last two candidates, then there is no need to worry about this problem, because the facts cannot be changed, and no matter who wins in the end, it cannot change the continuation of family politics. In the relative proposition of choosing one of the two, neither of their family backgrounds will be criticized, in the words of those critics:

Pick one that's relatively not so bad.

According to Sheila's team's own projections, the figure should not be that much, probably around $1.8 billion to $2 billion, but it is enough to shock voters. Sheila herself was aware of the problem, and in order to avoid overspending, she hired former U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Brown. Gary?Gensler is the CFO of his camp. The new finance officer, while chairing the exchange committee to oversee Wall Street, has transformed "what was once the laxest regulator into the most rigorous and aggressive" (New York Times review).

So far, the Sheila camp has raised nearly $800 million in campaign funding, a figure that has surpassed Obama in 2012, but still lags behind Jeff? Booth, who has raised more than $900 million, shows the horror of the Booth family.

The top five industries and organizations that have contributed the most to Sheila's political donations have been the legal profession, retirees, finance and insurance, real estate, and women's rights groups. And now, the support for her in the financial and insurance and real estate circles is in jeopardy, and there is already a fall to Jeff? Booth is a sign that this is a very bad sign.

At this time, it is too important for someone like Li Jie to be unscrupulous and willing to speak out in full support for such words. Even if Sheila once had concerns because of his Chinese identity, after all, Li Jie is not an American citizen, but now she can't care so much.

"It looks like you're a very strong supporter, Bruce." Sheila was a little surprised, these difficulties are not necessarily impossible for the outside world to know, but ordinary people will never get the news so quickly, and they will not be so fine, you can imagine how much Li Jie pays attention to herself.

"In my opinion, the key to all the problems that a person encounters is that the strength is not enough. Strong allies are undoubtedly the best way to increase their power. Li Jie smiled lightly, and the meaning in his words could not be more obvious.

Ally, this young man's appetite seems to be really big. However, only such an exchange of benefits can really provide what they want.

Sheila stretched out her hand again and looked at Li Jie without saying a word. The two clasped hands and smiled at each other as if they had signed a contract.

"This blues looks very unusual." Looking at the back of Li Jie walking away, Robbie, who was always standing behind him? Mook to Huma, the chief of staff who had just come over? Aberdeen said.

"He seems to have a very close relationship with Citi, and that's what I've warned you to focus on. According to conservative estimates, he has already provided more than $35 million in grants through various channels. "Huma? Aberdeen, who had been her assistant when Sheila was secretary of state, was a real hardcore subordinate, and he clearly knew all too much about the fundraising situation.

"Do you trust him?" Hear the number Robbie? Mook was a bit of a staggerer, which was already a big deal.

"Trust is always illusory, only the common good is the key." Huma? Aberdeen and Sheila glanced at each other, Robbie is a very capable guy, but sometimes he is still a little immature in looking at the problem, and he needs to check him more, and then beat him for a while.

"Huma, give Bruce a copy of the latest campaign news every day in the future, and I hope this young ally can bring us more surprises." Sheila frowned slightly, and walked over to the other giants, continuing her job as a lobbyist.

Huma behind her? Aberdeen and Robbie? Mook looked at each other, this is not a treatment that ordinary donors can enjoy, it seems that Sheila is very interested in this Bruce? Lee's expectations are high. (To be continued)
