More than half of the banquet process.

Mr. and Mrs. Ziptons smiled and walked away from Abel and Peggy.

As soon as they left, many people surrounded them, all of them important members of the Donkey Party's zipper force who appeared with them tonight.

Within the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party, there are actually many factions. Because these two parties are big parties, they have a very large number of righteous guests and members, and the relationship between their interests and the concept of righteous governance are very complicated.

For example, within the Donkey Party, there are four major factions, which are progressives, liberals, moderates, and conservatives.

For example, the progressives, this faction has some shadows of Master Luo. Therefore, this faction has basically not been able to produce big names, and its influence can only be limited to the local and internal Donkey Party......

Speaking of conservatives, this faction is in the Donkey Party, so it can be said that it is the elephant in the Donkey Party!

For a long time before and after the war, this particular faction controlled both houses for a long time, because they were indeed able to influence both the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party to a certain extent.

Therefore, that period was also the most harmonious time for the donkey and the elephant, and all kinds of struggles paid attention to one point to the end.

It's just that in the 90s, with the sudden fall of the red bear.

The rulers of the world's dominant kingdom no longer have to worry about the internal strife affecting their external combat effectiveness, so strife begins, and this faction declines.

It also completely announced the end of the honeymoon period for donkeys and elephants.

The remaining two are moderates and liberals, and the two factions share many similarities and often unite together.

The early zipper was regarded as a young representative by the moderates. After he sat firmly on the stage, he gradually became a liberal boss, and now he is the best of both factions, which can be described as calling for wind and rain.

However, in the United States, in fact, factions and orthodox theories are mostly irrelevant in the eyes of these people.

As long as you can get them to the top, don't say any factional positions.

Even if they were to jump from an elephant to a donkey, or vice versa, or from a donkey to an elephant all at once, no one would refuse.

Because in the eyes of these people, factions and ideas are just their tools, and what they want to show their voters.

This thing is variable, and voters give whatever they want to see.

For them, the only constant is eternal interests.

"His mouth is tight, and it's hard to get out of his mouth what he meant."

In small circles.

Zipper looked at the internal members who came up, shook his head directly, and said softly.

After he spoke, the two middle-aged women in the small circle, Elena Cagan and Sonia Sotomayor, had disappointed expressions on their faces.

The two of them are the most promising and qualified to become big in this circle of Zipperton. Law. The existence of an officer substitute.

Especially Sonia Sotomayor.

First of all, she is a Hispanic, and this status gives her an advantage, because so far no Hispanic has ever been too big. Law. Official.

In the United States, where ZZZQ is becoming more and more important, this is one of her greatest strengths.

It was in the hands of Zipper that she succeeded in becoming the Second Circuit Appellate Law in New York City. Court Law. Official.

This is the step on the way to the highest. Law.. An important springboard for the hospital.

“…… But I think. At this time, Silani whispered: "Except for the Elephant Party, your biggest competitor this time is likely to be Morgenso. ”

Many other people in the small circle, including Zipperton, couldn't help but nod their heads.

Because it's clear that the person who accompanied Abel to this banquet tonight as a female companion was Peggy Morgenthau.

Her retired grandfather, Robert Morgenthau, and her two uncles and grandfathers all showed up tonight to talk and laugh with Abelna.

The point is that in addition to Robert Morgenthau, the other two old Morgenthau, they are also fully qualified to be big. Law. An important substitute for the officer.

Even in terms of seniority, they have an advantage over Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Cagan.

Besides, Robert Morgenthau, a key member of the Hydra Gang, has simply stepped down from his position as Manhattan District Attorney.

It's not that you will retire and stop working.

With his qualifications and prestige, he is also fully qualified to participate in this competition.

Combined with the good relationship between the Morgenthau family and Abel, Abel is indeed likely to push Morgenthau's people to the throne.

Because sometimes, the state in which one is born does not mean that the person is the representative of the power of that state.

Like the current 9-digit Dafa. One of the officials, Sandra Day O'Connor, was the first woman in American history to be a big woman. Law. Officer, and at the same time a Texan.

But since she started college, she has not been in Texas but has gone to school and worked in the Boston area, and her upper position has been supported by the Boston consortium.

Can you say she's from Texas?

No.

So even if the Morgenthors are New Yorkers, Texans are willing to support them if they are willing to be puppets of Texans.

That Morgenthau has the hope of becoming a Texas consortium at the top. Law. Representatives of the hospital.

After all, only interests are eternal.

"Think about it, if we have anything to impress him." Zipper suddenly whispered.

There is no need for him to explain in detail, everyone knows what he means.

In fact, this circle has gradually faded away, and Albert Gore, who rarely attends, suddenly said softly: "Maybe you can consider starting with Neil Bush?" In any case, he should also think more about the Donkey Party now. ”

"Here's a way." Sirani agreed.

"What else?" Zipper looked at everyone again.

"I ...... There are two dharmas around me. Assistants, they're all young, they're sensible, and they're ......," Sonia Sotomayor looked at the crowd with a look of understanding, "and they're very attractive. ”

Her proposal immediately received good comments from many people in the small circle.

Whoever called the wind comment in this regard, it was really very much, similar to their leader Zipperton.

But at this time, Zipper looked at Abel, who was talking to Peggy in a whisper, with a smile on his face.

The former Grand Commander shook his head, he didn't think of Sonia Sotomayor's two laws. Assistant to the Officer, able to arouse the interest of Abel Smith.

Yes, they are indeed young and beautiful, and they are even more impeccable in terms of speech and academic qualifications, one is from Yale Law School, and the other is the best among Stanford Law School graduates.

But they have all graduated for a few years, and it has been a few years since they joined their circle.

In the past few years, they have lost a lot. These lost things, Zipper thought were some of Abel's favorite things.

Zipperton, who has always felt that he is very similar to Abel in some way, thinks that they are not attractive to Abel at all.

"Yes, they're outstanding. But look at the current one next to him. The youngest graduate and youngest Ph.D. in the history of Yale Law School......"

The leader of the Great Unification said softly.

Sonia Sotomayor is not stupid either, and immediately knew the subtext of Zipperton.

She chose to keep her mouth shut.

Indeed, compared to Peggy Morgenthau, she also knew that her two assistants were a bit rotten.

There is hardly a single person in her current circle who has not played with her two assistants, both men and women.

Sonia Sotomayor had also heard of the man who loved to play but never played with others, and was said to hate it.

Otherwise, he'd probably have a good chat with Zipton.

Sonia Sotomayor thought so.

"Maybe someone else? Except for Sonia's two assistants. Another person in the Zipperton collective justice system, Elena Cagan, couldn't help but whisper.

Everyone thinks about it, it's just to find young and beautiful, it's not difficult for them.

Several of them struggled to think about it.

But after much consideration, almost everyone present gave up on finding a character in their own small circle to attract Abel Smith.

Because...... This is really a problem for their circle.

The people who can make their circle trust and attract Abel Smith are almost the same as the two assistants of Sonia Sotomayor.

The better ones can be used to attract Abel Smith and have the potential to succeed, but they are not recognized by their circle.

Whoever calls them this circle, in a way it's too outrageous.

It is indeed very much in line with their faction, the positioning and name of the Donkey Party - liberal.

And more serious neoliberals. Seed oil, naturally, is playful for everything.

"Ahem......"

Zipper was aware of this, too, and he coughed lightly to get everyone's attention.

"You can really continue to think about this, and you can find people after all."

"But we can do it in a multi-pronged way, and think of multiple ways together. The first is that since Morgenthau is promising. Then we can get along with them first, and ensure that even if we can't get our hands on it, we can maintain some influence. ”

"Secondly, many people on the side of the elephant party are expected to have ideas. So consider reaching out to them as well. ”

"In the end, our focus is really on the future. By the way, I recently found a nice new guy who is now a senator from the state of Illinois. I think I can develop him in. Well, he's a black guy and I'm very optimistic about his future. ”

Zipperton, they in the small circle also began to shift the topic to other aspects.

As time passed, tonight's American Arts & Charity Ball came to an end.

From the point of view of Anna Wintour, the real host and operator, there is no doubt that tonight was a great success, too successful.

In Abel's eyes, tonight is okay too.

The soft conversation with Peggy Morgenso somehow made him feel happy.

There is a sense of relaxation after discussing the problem with the beautiful female student at school when I was young before I was reborn.

After the banquet, he drove her home. Well, in fact, the whole team sent it together, and he hadn't touched the steering wheel in almost two years.

When they arrived at the Morgenthau family's stone castle, the three Morgenthau brothers, who had returned one step earlier than the two, were naturally waiting at the door.

As Zipper and his coterie thought.

Abel did have to consider letting the Morgenthau family as himself at the top. Law. Representatives of interests in the hospital.

Because after thinking about it, he found that the person who really trusted him in the field of justice seemed to be more of a New Yorker, Morgenthau.

Moreover, if Morgenthau is on the throne, he can also get the support and acquiescence of the Morgen family, and the difficulty will become very low.

So tonight, he didn't deliberately send Peggy back.

Talking to the Robert brothers was also one of his important purposes.

Of course, Morgenthau knew what he was thinking, so even though it was a little late at night, the three old men were still in good spirits and talked to him in the living room where there were no outsiders.

As a judicial family in New York and the East Coast, if you can produce a big . Law. Official. Even if they are all old and can only live for another 10 years, it is completely guaranteed that Morgenthau will continue to be brilliant for the next 20 years after they are all gone.

As soon as the topic of interests got up, Peggy suddenly said goodbye and left, saying that she wanted to go back to the room to clean up.

Obviously, her elders were a little surprised by her reaction. The two uncles were even more dissatisfied.

But Abel is here, and Peggy looks indifferent and indifferent again.

Of course, they didn't object.

This became three old men, and began to communicate and negotiate with Abel's interests.
