Chapter 107: Sleepless Nights
Tonight was a sleepless night for many people in the 18th District or for Miami as a whole.
As soon as the debate ended, whether it was a Republican candidate or a Democratic candidate, in short, as long as there was a candidate who had the money to form a professional campaign team, their employees immediately got the performance data of each candidate in tonight's Democratic primary.
The news of the primary election was also broadcast on various local Miami television stations, and the name mentioned most by the TV host was Jeff Rush, a Democrat.
In the entire primary, three 900-second free discussion time, Jeff Rush, who was the best performer all night, grabbed 420 seconds, 540 seconds, and 420 seconds respectively, and always put the title of the most spoken candidate tonight on his head.
You know, free discussion is actually a mutual criticism and revelation between candidates, Jeff Rush can get such an exaggerated speaking time, because he has almost no pause, every time he can catch a certain word when the other candidates speak, quickly counterattack, let the other party stop at the same time, grab the other party's speaking time into his own hands, and also let the audience's attention focus on himself.
In addition to Jeff LaVine, the second most widely recognized performer tonight was former Miami Deputy Mayor Rosario Kennedy, who received 120 seconds of personal speech time for the first stage of free discussion, although not as exaggerated as Jeff LaVine's 420 seconds, but compared to the other five equal 360 seconds, each of them only averaged 72 seconds of personal speech, which is already a very good result.
At this time, the late-night news program on the TV, the host was discussing Rosario's performance with the commentators, and the guests gave Rosario a high evaluation, starting from her being a colored person and a woman's vulnerability, to her various efforts in politics over the years, including the state of her performance in this primary, from the initial overwhelmed by Jeff LaVine's controversial speech, to the second stage of adjusting her mentality, steady and steady, no longer hesitating, but confronting Jeff Rush head-on many times, winning 180 seconds of personal speech, Finally, in the third stage, she took advantage of the victory, increasing the number of personal speaking hours to 240 seconds, which proved that this woman is very resilient, not knocked down by difficulties, but stronger and stronger, and never backs down.
Martin stood in the lobby of his company, looking at the news commentary on the TV that praised Rosario, and finally couldn't help it, turned off the TV directly, and looked at Tommy, who was drinking lemon honey water to relieve his throat discomfort: "This is outright fake news, that woman can get the performance second only to Jeff because our signal interference let her go, otherwise she should be like everyone else tonight, in the second stage, the third stage completely reduced to a dumb person who doesn't know how to speak." β
The reason why Martin dares to say that the news commentary on the TV station at the moment is fake news, naturally because he knows the truth tonight, whether the other candidates have thought of interfering with Jeff's communicator, Martin does not know, but the boss Tommy thoughtfully arranged manpower and took the initiative to interfere with and destroy the receiver signals of other candidates.
By interfering with their receivers and making sure that the candidates couldn't hear the team members in the first place, and that they couldn't hear the moments, Jeff was able to seize the opportunity to talk and make it look like they were being questioned by Jeff and speechless.
And Rosario's performance is getting better and better, it is Tommy who released water to her in the second and third stages, which gave her a chance to get some impression points, and as a result, when the debate is over, this kind of Tommy's kindness has actually become a hypocritical statement in the mouth of the news commentator on the TV that she is not afraid of difficulties, and difficulties will only make her stronger and stronger.
"You don't watch it as news, it's a normal advertising and PR behavior, and the guest commentator is undoubtedly Lorna's person." Tommy lazily leaned back in a chair: "Speaking of which, tomorrow there should be a curious person to talk to you and ask what brand of receiver you have for Jeff, this is the power of technology, technology can make everyone on stage a speaker, and it can also make all of them dumb." β
Paige walked in from outside and said to Tommy, "I'm going to make sure again, it's arranged." β
"What's arranged? Cuban stowaways looking for trouble with Jeff? Throwing rotten eggs? Deliberately stopping his car? Hurt Jessica unexpectedly? Martin asked in confusion as he looked at Tommy, then at Paige, who walked in.
He knew all the arrangements that came out of his mouth, Tommy didn't hide it from him, yes, tomorrow Jeff's family would encounter hostility from the Cubans in his district, and he would understand the consequences of offending the largest group of voters in this district.
Jessica was injured when a Cuban maliciously stopped her while she was driving, causing her to accidentally crash into a roadside building, and in the next election event, she can sit in a wheelchair and enjoy the treatment of Jeff pushing her around.
But those Cuban illegal immigrants who will start to trouble Jeff's family tomorrow are all arranged and planned by him Martin, and the traffic accident will not really hurt Jessica, it is nothing more than to continue to increase Jeff's activity, so that everyone can continue to pay attention to Jeff's experience and campaign process, and by the way, disgust Cubans in the area.
Hearing Martin's question, Tommy took a sip of lemonade: "Tomorrow is the Republican Party primary, they are not as chaotic as the Democratic Party, there are seven candidates in the primary, and there are only four people in their primary, but the last three are just trying to verify their appeal in the district, and they have no intention of really running at all, Iliana Letty got as many as 83% of the votes in the previous mock party vote, and the remaining three together are only 17%, and those three guys are just running together." β
"Did you make arrangements for that Republican Cuban-American woman?" Martin frowned: "Looking for trouble with her? β
"Some little trick that is not worth mentioning." Tommy closed his eyes, lemonade in his hand, and seemed to have his thoughts drifting somewhere else, and his voice sounded a little absent-minded:
"Jeff rose to prominence tonight with the Democratic Party's primary, and it wasn't Rosario who couldn't sleep tonight, but the Republican female candidate of Cuban descent, Iliana Letty."
"With 83 percent of the vote, I don't think there's anything that makes her uncomfortable." Martin thought for a while as Tommy usually thinks, and couldn't figure out why Cuban women in the Republican Party would be tossing and turning, because under normal circumstances, if Rosario loses the primary, Cuban voters in the district will have only one choice, and they don't have to worry about Rosario fighting her in the ring and splitting the votes of Cuban voters.
"She should now realize that the old Jewish couple I gave her was going to make her very uncomfortable." Tommy took a sip of lemonade for a while, and after swallowing it, he said slowly:
"She should have seen the performance of Jeff and the other Democratic candidates, and as long as it wasn't a serious problem with her eyesight, she should have understood that the Jeff who foolishly handed over the Parkers to her before was probably her real opponent, but unfortunately it was too late, and now what was in front of her seemed like a choice question."
"That is, if she wants to work with Rosario, a Cuban-American woman from the Democratic Party, to ensure that she can get the support of all Cuban voters, and if she chooses to cooperate with Rosario because she is worried that her votes are not high enough, Rosario must agree on the condition that Iliana Leti or her husband will suppress the old Jewish couple to trouble her, and what do you think the old Jewish couple will react to if they find out?"
"What if she didn't work with Rosario? Wouldn't she have avoided this problem if she continued to administer justice for the Parkers? Martin asked.
Tommy said affirmatively: "If she continues to uphold justice, then Jeff will thank her for her righteousness and non-partiality in every public rally that she does not favor fellow Cubans, and Jeff will continue to scold Cuban smugglers at the rallies while praising her as a respectable opponent and a true American." β
"Give the Cuban voters who support Rosario the opportunity to go to her trouble and divide her votes, the advantage of this is that as long as she wants to retract her previous attitude a little bit due to the pressure of the Cuban voters, we will bite her and slowly expand her wounds, and don't forget, she is also the owner of a private school, and she finds a group of parents of children who hate Cubans from her school, and asks them to bring their children to her various assemblies, and let the children ask her racial questions in a naΓ―ve tone to stimulate her, Until she was worried that her own Cuban vote pool would not be enough to win Jeff, she would naturally consider some interests that she did not want to consider before. β
