But a person's destiny, of course, depends on self-struggle, but it also has to take into account the past...... Oh, the influence of family lineage.

This is what Alicia Kongsberg is most familiar with and good at, after all, as direct descendants of the Mayflower, a traditional New England blue blood family, they have always kept in touch with each other.

Alicia didn't say it, Edward didn't know yet, he originally thought that Solomon's family background was enough, but in terms of glory and fame, he still couldn't compare with Daniel Brewster.

Master Daniel, that's the real blue blood.

His grandfather's name was Benjamin Brewster, a prominent New Jersey politician who served as New Jersey Attorney General and later as U.S. Attorney General from 1881 to 1885, and their immediate ancestor was William Brewster, one of the passengers of the Mayflower that year.

There have also been such celebrities as Sarah Franklin Bucky and Richard Bucky.

But the most famous is Benjamin Franklin, his great-great-great-grandfather.

Brewster's mother is of mixed race, of Scottish, German, and English descent, and is a direct descendant of John Hart.

The name John Hart is not well known today.

But as a delegate to the First Continental Congress and one of the 56 signatories of the Declaration of Independence.

In a way, it was the early founder of the United States.

After that, he served as the chairman of the New Jersey Parliament, and he can be regarded as a famous local tycoon.

As a traverser, Edward actually looked down on this kind of family background, and the people who had received compulsory education all regarded "princes and generals, rather have a kind?" "It's a matter of course.

The ancestors are the business of the ancestors, and if you want to be awesome, you have to rely on self-struggle and historical itinerary, which has nothing to do with the ancestors.

But when it comes to the United States, it is "the queen and the general, rather there is a kind!" ”

This is really making people shake their heads, but the country that clearly claims to be an advanced civilization still regards this set of things as a necessary condition for domestic political inheritance.

To be honest, this is not much different from the hereditary bureaucracy in Moscow.

But since the people of their own country have not said anything, why should they be indignant as an outsider?

It should be said that such a prominent family background is enough to escort the political career of Lord Brewster.

Let him go all the way.

The 1964 election marked the highlight of his political career, becoming President Lyndon B. Johnson's "favorite son" or "darling"

It's an old political term. It was used more in elections in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

At the quadrennial U.S. National Political Party Convention, a state delegation sometimes nominates a candidate from its own state, or less often a candidate from its own state district — a candidate who is not a viable candidate in the eyes of other delegations — but the people of the state vote for the candidate in the initial vote.

The state party leaders then used this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the main candidates.

It's very abstract to say, but let's look at concrete examples.

In 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson (often abbreviated as LBJ, which made Edward feel unusually affectionate) addressed Gottward.

Since Johnson did not have time for a national party primary, that is, a state-by-state PK with other candidates in the local party.

So the "darling" strategy was adopted.

In Maryland, for example, Mr. Daniel Brewster came forward to win the party primary, and then during the national casting, Mr. Daniel directly announced his support for Johnson, so all his votes went to Johnson's name.

In fact, this is also the last application of the "darling" strategy, and it is also a departure from the original application.

Assuming a presidential election in 1900, Edward was the party's highly-anticipated candidate, but the state of New York was not happy with this, but they did not have enough power to veto Edward.

As a result, the Democratic leader of New York State can elect Nancy as the state's presidential candidate, and Nancy has no one in the other 49 states, let alone charisma, except for her advantage in the state.

But as a bargaining chip for the New York State Democrats, she could negotiate with Edward for more favors, and if Edward agreed to pay the consideration, then Nancy would call on voters to vote for Edward.

On the contrary, there is not enough success, but there is more than failure, which is enough to make Edward deeply jealous.

This tactic gradually withdrew from the political scene with the rise of strongman Roosevelt and ended in 1970.

Because in 1970, Congress passed a bill requiring presidential candidates to be nominated by more than one state.

Of course, the "darling" strategy in 1964 was personally laid out by President Lyndon B. Johnson, and Daniel Brewster was his appointee.

It can be seen that this old man is Jane in the emperor's heart.

But unfortunately, it was probably too smooth in the first half of his life, so that he collected money unscrupulously.

He doesn't let go of big money or small money, and he doesn't choose food when he is hungry, as long as others dare to give it to him, he dares to accept it.

This matter was immediately poked out by the newspaper, and Zero Zero finally summed up ten charges against him.

And everything is well-founded.

Once this kind of thing is caught by the opponent, then the Democratic Party can only cry and kill the horse.

Even if your ancestors were Washington or Lincoln, you have to get out of the way, or at least out of Washington, D.C.

Of course, after getting out, everyone will not delve into it, but can continue to sit down and talk about business.

But after all, doing business cannot be compared with being a politician.

The assistant next to him was also dismissed.

For these dismissed assistants, this is a great misfortune.

Senators are a scarce species, only two per state.

Everyone also knows that if you want to become a senator, you must be an assistant to the senator.

This led to an explosion of assistants around the senator's husband.

Now Daniel Brewster is out of town, and Maryland will elect a new senator.

But the newcomer must be crowded with his subordinates, and even though Miss Nancy has a good family background, it will be more difficult to become an assistant again.

What's more, there is a face problem here.

Senatorial campaigns are also brutal, especially when running within the party.

For example, the reason why Nancy was able to work under Daniel was obviously because her family had made a big bet on Daniel, and Daniel's opponent also had the support of big families or wealthy businessmen behind him, and they fought with each other.

Now that the newcomer is in office, it would be good if he didn't take the opportunity to take revenge, who would dare to lick his face and take refuge?

If you want to put it into effect, you have to wait for a while, and then you can talk about it after you regain your "sincerity".

The two women who are deeply involved in politics talk about the news gossip, which seems to be very compatible, and Edward feasts his ears and eyes on the sidelines.

Both of them are wearing skirts and stockings, crossing Erlang's legs, and the flesh and black silk complement each other, which is pleasing to the eye.

It looked like he was a little thirsty.

Just as he was about to pour water, the doorbell rang again, and this time it was Nancy who arrived.

So the two of them immediately greeted them warmly, and the three young women sat together and chattered.

Nancy is already a mother of two children.

But he has a good appearance, a slender figure, and looks like a freshman who has just graduated from college.

Edward didn't bother to mingle with them, and turned on the TV.

Suddenly a familiar voice was heard

"THIS IS FAKE NEWS! I'M JOURNALIST MEGHAN, I'M IN BROOKLYN RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S TERRIBLE HERE TODAY."

"It's noon, but you can see ......"

As she spoke, the camera panned in the direction of her finger.

"You can see that almost all roads are thick with snow, and yes you read that right, all roads have at least fifteen inches of snow!"

"I'll admit that this is a rare blizzard, but I'm even more angry at criticizing the New York City Administration for why it hasn't been able to keep traffic flowing until now."

"The backstreets and alleys, we can ignore them for a while, but all of Brooklyn is covered in snow and all roads are impassable."

"Yes, my colleagues and I walked in on our legs. This is New York, not Alaska, and we don't have sleds and sled dogs to help. If the municipal lords were willing to pull the sleds themselves, I could forgive them for their dereliction of duty. ”

So I wondered what would happen to the poor in such a situation. Their roofs may have collapsed, they may not have bread to buy at home, or they may have fallen ill and need to go to the hospital. But now, everyone is trapped in their own homes, unable to move a single step......"

"We can now send people into space, but a large number of residents in the world's largest city are unable to move an inch because of a heavy snowfall?"

"O rice country, please stop your galloping footsteps, don't blindly pursue speed, don't blindly pursue the world's first, please wait for your conscience, wait for your morality, wait for your people." Meghan said with emotion.

"Don't let the poor die in the suffocation of heavy snow, don't let the elderly be abandoned, don't let the city become a cemetery of despair, let every life have dignity and freedom, let everyone not be left behind by the times, and let everyone live in peace." She continued

Although she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, her voice trembled and sounded like she was about to cry.

This made Edward a little fascinated, and this girl would cry after a long time, so why did she seem so strong to me every time? nnd, next time you must let her beg for mercy, let her cry, let her call Dad!

The lyricism of the televised broadcast continues:

"The test of whether a country is strong or not is not how high your stock market rises, how strong the president is, how many countries you can go to with your passport, how big your fist is, how many superheroes there are in the movie. It's about whether you can protect the lives of your citizens in times of disaster. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem" Edward choked.

These words and sentences are all too familiar.

Damn, Meghan is really a genius in the media, drawing inferences, and now she can spew out all kinds of witty aphorisms at any time that are nothing but demagogic but have no practical use.

Her rising ratings provided a solid foundation and made her the most popular female journalist in New York and all of America.

Newspapers and magazines have begun to tout her as "the conscience of the United States" and "a model of public intellectuals".

In this regard, Edward felt ...... Seems pretty good, too?

This kind of famous sayings and aphorisms that don't need money to sell without money are very good feelings.

What's more, Megan is bright and smooth, although she doesn't look like a natural beauty, she also has her own advantages - she is very American sweetheart in temperament, and she is invincible in the world when she laughs.

For more than a year, it has gained a lot of popularity among the demonstrators, and even the black community has a large number of male fans, of course, women...... Forget it, it's already very moral not to scold her to her face.

Meghan is still angrily asking: "What's wrong with this country?" ”

"I think it must be a system problem!"

"Otherwise, why is it always the people of the United States who suffer?"

"For this I fell into deep contemplation"

In the end, it is customary to ask how to determine the body of this country as the end of the situation.

The whole process of worrying about the country and the people is smooth and full of beautiful tension.

Edward was quite proud of this, he didn't cross in vain, and this set of kung fu was not passed on to the wrong person.

Megan, this is really Tmd enough!

If he thinks it's good, then someone must be unhappy.

"Huh?" Yelena pouted, "She's exaggerating again, although the snow is heavy, I went out fairly smoothly today." ”

Alicia and Nancy were also nodding their heads, saying that although their itinerary was difficult, they could still drive.

Edward scratched his head, feeling that something seemed wrong.

"Where do you all live?" He asked.

As it turned out, all three lived on Manhattan's Upper East Side, an upscale neighborhood in New York City with intimidatingly high housing prices.

But money is not a problem for these three people.

Elaine bought an apartment there, Nancy borrowed a relative's big house, and Alicia was of course a suite at the Hilton.

So, Meghan is not exaggerating, "Edward spreads hands" Manhattan and Brooklyn have never been the same place. ”

"It's a poor man's world, and it's not as upscale as Manhattan, so I'm guessing that Mayor Lindsay ordered all the snowplows in the city to go to Manhattan."

"What about the rest of the world?" Yelena asked

"That is, of course, until the benevolent Apollo continues to radiate infinite light and heat." He shook his head, "This is the current situation in the United States. ”

Elena probably watched Meghan get angry and changed the channel, and the announcer announced the numbers with an expressionless face: "Last night's blizzard hit caused great damage to New York, so far, 14 people have died and at least 68 people have been injured." The number of new casualties is expected to continue to rise. ”

In addition, the station received numerous angry complaints from viewers who unanimously accused the city of prioritizing Manhattan to return to normal at the expense of public services in other districts. In this regard, this station will continue to pay attention. ”

It took three full days for New York City to emerge from this damn snowfall.

The New York Stock Exchange was also closed for three days.

During these three days, Carl Wright continued to refine the battle plan, while Edward continued to be obscene.

Anyway, it's spring break, and since you can't go to Washington to see the cherry blossoms, it's good to spend "spring" break in the bedroom.

Speaking of cherry blossoms, Edward suddenly thought that it was already late February......

Tsk, speaking of which, the song of the Showa Restoration and the cherry blossoms are more compatible......

Especially when it's still snowing outside......

Ah, why is there such a familiar singing voice in my head?

However, speaking of which, his plan seems to be quite obvious, and he does it in the name of loyalty and patriotism......

In particular, "the powerful only know the proud family,

There is really no one in the country,

The tyrant knows how to boast and accumulate wealth,

What do you think about the community?"

Don't say that although these four sentences are about the book of thirty years ago, it is quite appropriate to apply it to the current rice country.

Just look at the demonstrations and demonstrations that have taken place one after another, and we can see that if it were not for the accumulation of social contradictions to a certain extent, such a big outbreak would not have occurred.

Having said that, the Mi Di was actually much more polite than the Showa warlords in this regard, and because of the existence of the Soviets, the domestic ruling class was extremely vassal, and was still more willing to distribute benefits downward.

Therefore, although the smoke is everywhere in the country, strictly speaking, it is a petty fight.

Students are the mainstay, occupying the campus for unsheltered conferences.

The ngers thought about it day and night to come to buy a few more zero-dollar purchases.

Strictly speaking, these are security issues rather than social issues.

If the ruling class really wants to be tough and overwhelming, it is simple, but for the sake of its own international image and the establishment of the archway, it will pinch its nose and endure it.

As far as the White House is concerned, the interior must be closed first, and as long as the withdrawal of troops from the Indochina Peninsula is completed, then the college students will be almost scattered.

JFK and Lyndon Johnson's efforts in the civil rights movement have also reached maturity, and as the incomes of a large number of blacks have increased, this in itself is also a kind of divisive and quite effective practice for the black community.

So

"Leave the song and chant,

The song of generosity is over today,

The sword at my waist is there,

Clear the blood in the sea. ”

I can't see it.

But go to Wall Street and stir it up and add a few zeros to yourself, (bank accounts, not the actual Carl Wright...... It's still okay.

Anyway, the banner is to save the United States.
