After all, he has been the mayor of New York, even if he only serves one term, even if he loses the ruling power of the largest city in the United States to the Elephant Party in the face of public complaints about law and order, his political life is over, but Dingkins is still an African-American leader, and he is also a former Donkey Party boss, and his influence in politics and the black community cannot be underestimated.

"I'm inspired by what you said......"

Song Ya scratched her forehead very sincerely, the other party might be afraid that she wouldn't understand, so she said very bluntly and honestly, "But I'm not in the mood to think so far now!" He was secretly worried, hesitating to wonder if it was a good time to ask the other party for some political resources to deal with the FBI's investigation that might affect him.

Now on my side...... The FBI has not moved, and after Vic committed suicide and was sent to the hospital, Peter also started to act in Chicago, and it seems that the situation is developing on the good side, and as long as the line of the inner city broadcaster continues, there will be many opportunities to deal with the old man in front of him in the future, forget it, don't open this mouth for the time being.

He smiled wryly: "I never thought about these things before, you know, at my age, I don't usually think about these ......"

"With great power comes great responsibility." Dingkins said.

Is it that the more money you have, the more responsibility you have? Song Ya complained in her heart.

"APLUS, MR. DINKINS."

At this time, Jesse Jackson appeared, he and Dingkins are both African American leaders of the Donkey Party, there are differences and cooperation between the two, Dingkins has been a professional politician for a long time, how can he really express what he just said to himself, there needs to be a gorgeous mosaic multicultural packaging, and Jesse Jackson's demands are much more straightforward, world peace, environmental protection, equal rights, women's rights and the like are not counted, and the rest is that some black groups should have lower student loans, better employment opportunities, employee rights and education, housing, Seats and fair treatment of the judiciary, etc., whether they are justified or not, will be fought over first.

On the issue of the interests of the black community, one is moderate and obscure, the other is in the front, and there is a more conservative Colin, of course, the three black lights in politics are not the most radical on the left and right sides of the political spectrum, otherwise they will not be recognized by the mainstream people.

"Jesse, are you really going to run for Commander next year?" Dingkins asked him.

"Now...... Not sure yet. Jesse Jackson shook his head, "You know, it's more complicated right now. ”

If you take the entertainment industry as an analogy, Dingkins is already outdated, Jesse Jackson is still popular, but he has passed his 'prime', "I heard that Oprah is also interested in running." Jesse Jackson said.

"It's possible." Dingkins nodded.

The two chatted about politics, elections and social activities, but Song Ya couldn't interject at all for the time being, and felt that the two couldn't let go of the conversation because they were next to them, so they found an excuse to leave.

"Do you know them?"

He asked himself about crisis PR, who was also Peter's campaign manager, Eli.

"After Dingkins was just elected mayor of New York, the outside world was very optimistic that he would run for president in the future, and Jesse Jackson participated in the first two elections ......"

Eli thought for a while and said: "The most intense conflict between them is in the early nineties, although Dingkins is older, but in terms of political status compared to Jesse Jackson, the two are both donkey parties, and they are both African, so it is inevitable that there will be some attacks on each other......"

"So the two of them were enemies once?" Song Ya came to be interested.

"Sort of, but overall it didn't tear up too much, and the time was very short, and Dingkins didn't do a good job as mayor of New York, and soon he was no longer a threat to Jesse Jackson."

Eli replied.

"So who is the biggest threat to Jesse Jackson right now? Colin? Song Ya asked: "I heard that the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has a high voice on the side of the Elephant Party, and they said that if Colin comes out for election, victory will definitely be in sight." ”

"Hehe......"

Eli smiled, "On the contrary, Colin's existence is a good thing for Jesse Jackson, the current commander is doing a good job, and it is difficult for the elephant party to win the election in '96 with the old routine, and it is indeed possible to divide the black votes of the black people who are used to supporting the Donkey Party, so do you think about it, how will the Donkey Party respond?" They will inevitably push a black politician out of the primary stage of the Donkey Party, and the candidate is likely to be Jesse Jackson, so that his political weight within the Donkey Party will be greatly increased. ”

"I see, no wonder he mentioned Oprah to Dingkins just now, he is not afraid of Colin now, but afraid that Oprah, the dark horse, will come out and steal his position, right?" Song Ya asked.

"That's right, Oprah is also a donkey party, is black, or a woman, a celebrity, has a better public image than Jesse Jackson, and does not have as many personal moral flaws as him, and also initiated and promoted the child protection bill to be passed by Congress in '93."

Eli said: "Oprah is really a good candidate against Colin. ”

"Will Oprah run?"

Song Ya has never liked that woman very much, especially after doing an interview with MJ in '93.

"It depends on the Elephant Party's side, Colin has not yet decided, after all, even if he runs, he may not be able to win the current leader, and it is still difficult to elect an African-American leader."

Eli thought for a moment, "It's even more unlikely that the Donkey Party will win the incumbent leader in the primary election, so how can we maximize the benefits of this political capital...... In short, it still depends on Colin, Colin's candidacy, then Jesse Jackson and Oprah can get a lot of political benefits from running, Colin is not elected, and they can't help but feel that the current commander has nothing to do. Trade-offs...... How so? It's very delicate, and political choices are always very delicate. And once they participate in the election, they will become the target of everyone, and many old negative behaviors will be dug up and attacked by the media or campaign opponents, and now Colin and Oprah are almost morally perfect in the eyes of the public, but what if they run for election? Will it still be? I'm skeptical. ”

"Hmm."

Song Ya nodded, he didn't pay much attention to these African-American politicians before, but now he can't, after all, the FBI pressure is there, and it is very important for him to be able to stir up the support of the black base like Simpson when the time comes, although that should be the last choice, but he can't help but prepare early, "So if Colin and Oprah both run, Jesse Jackson will be very bad, right?" ”

"It's not good, but it's not bad, he's a well-known pastor, an equal rights leader, has a lot of social influence, and has run for the general leadership twice, although there may be more scandals that can be dug up, and the election will definitely not be elected, but the ability to make trouble for others is still there, and he himself actually knows that if the opponent of the Donkey Party doesn't want to be divided by him, then there will definitely be some interests to buy him, politically, economically, I estimate that he is mainly trying to do this now."

"Recently, for example, he started attacking Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae [two of the largest non-bank mortgage companies in the country] to force them to give special loans at low interest rates to African Americans," Eli said. In order to avoid being troubled by the African American community or to other affected politicians, the two giant corporations are likely to compromise with them, and maybe even donate a sum of money to their foundation or affirmative action. ”

"As you said, political choices are delicate, and a politician who has always maintained the ability to disrupt the situation, even if he has been defeated repeatedly, can still reap a lot of benefits from it, right?" Song Ya felt that he understood a little.

"Yes, but you can't lose too ugly like Dinkins." Eli blinked.

"Haha......" Song Ya laughed.

He's talking about Dingkins and Jesse Jackson, and they're talking about him over there.

"APLUS has a lot of potential, and although it is young, it is basically on the right path politically."

Jesse Jackson is full of praise for Dinkins: "He was an early supporter of South Africa's desegregation, he supported equality, women's rights, philanthropy and was willing to donate money, he was not as detached from the African American community as MJ, Simpson and Jordan, and he was not a scum like Tyson." ”

"Did he donate money to your Rainbow Alliance?" Dingkins knew each other too well, and the old man complained coldly.

"He supports our cause."

Jesse Jackson still has a chance in politics and is much more mindful of the wording than he is, "so we need to give him honest guidance at this age when he hasn't found his place on the political spectrum." ”

"I feel like he's not been as keen on politics as he was when he first debuted in the past two years, and he seems to have been lost in a huge fortune, you see here......"

Dingkins pointed to the row of lights and fountains that Mariah Carey had set up for the perfect wedding not far away, "This couple is constantly spending, spending, and spending, buying a Malibu mansion, buying a small island in the Bahamas, and the IT crooks in Silicon Valley easily took five million from him, and instead of worrying about him becoming MJ, Simpson, and Tyson, you should worry about him becoming MC Hammer second." ”

"I heard you're interested in bringing him to the Inner City Broadcaster?"

Jesse Jackson smiled, "That's not a money-making business. ”

"I don't care, it's the Sutton family who can't stand it now, I'm just doing my duty as an old friend to help."

Dingkins countered: "I was just warning him that I would never change the political leanings of the inner-city broadcaster for the sake of a young billionaire's money." ”

"You don't have to worry about that, do you? Isn't America Music Magazine also his? After all these years, nothing has changed. I've heard that America's music editor-in-chief, Shirley Fleming, is Pathy Sutton's old friend, right? She's politically Manhattan, right? ”

If Song Ya heard their conversation, he would definitely be surprised that they knew him much better than he knew about them, Jesse Jackson said, "You might as well worry that Giuliani will move the Apollo Theater, he seems to have been trying to take back the rights to run that theater?" How much would the inner city broadcaster be worth without the legendary theater that hosted the debut of many superstars such as MJ and the legendary theater in the minds of African American artists? ”

"If my successor does that, it's a political hunt." Dingkins replied.

"Of course, he will certainly not do it in his first term, but not necessarily after re-election."

Jesse Jackson was a very good orator and quickly gained the upper hand in the two men's verbal exchanges, "You should know the subtle differences better than I do. But don't worry, I won't spoil you and the Sutton family at APLUS. ”

"Hah!"

Dingkins finally couldn't hold back, and sneered very unpleasantly, "You might as well take care of your lower body first, that kid in APLUS has more self-control than you." ”
