Lu Qing spread his hands:

"So, do you want the people to feel that the president's economic policies are correct, and that they are getting worse because they don't work hard?"

"This ......"

The staff member who questioned Lu Qing opened his mouth and was completely speechless.

Indeed, if the economic policies implemented are correct, then who can explain why the US economy has deteriorated and the standard of living has deteriorated over the past four years?

"And I didn't mean to get Mr. President to admit that his economic policies for the past four years were wrong."

Lu Qing looked at Lao Buji and explained: "When I say admitting mistakes, I want His Excellency the President to admit that in the past four years, because of the focus on solving external worries and consolidating the position of the United States as the world hegemon, the domestic economy has been slightly neglected. ”

Hearing Lu Qing say this, the expressions of Lao Buji and the others looked much better.

Seeing that Lao Buji and the others listened to it, Lu Qing continued:

"But now, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the great achievements of the Gulf War, no other country can threaten the hegemony of the United States for the foreseeable future, so we can now free up our hands and feet to completely concentrate on solving domestic economic problems."

The expressions of the old Buji and the others were completely soothed.

The meaning of Lu Qing's remarks is very simple, that is, to tell the people that during the four years of my previous term, it was not that I did not want to solve domestic economic problems, but because of the great worries abroad, I must first solve the external hidden dangers, and then I can free up my hands and feet to deal with the domestic situation.

Under this kind of rhetoric, it can undoubtedly greatly alleviate the public's impression of Lao Buji's 'economic incompetence', and even strengthen his image of being responsible for the country, after all, as Lu Qing said, looking at the whole earth, the United States does have no external worries!

Naturally, these are the merits of Comrade Lao Buji, the heir to the Star-Spangled Banner, for four years of hard work.

Old Bu Tsuji's eyes were already full of approval when he looked at Lu Qing.

If nothing else, Lu Qing's words are already ten times better than the various political clichés prepared by his staff before!

"Okay, Chen, to be honest, I'm starting to get interested in what you call the analog TV debate."

Old Bu Tsuji sat up straight, looked at Lu Qing expectantly, and said with a smile: "Comeon, tell me quickly, how are you going to simulate?" ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, but before that, can I take a look at the rehearsal of the topic you prepared?"

Lu Qing asked.

Because the topic of each televised debate is different, the staff will prepare a variety of different questions to prepare.

"Absolutely."

Old Bu Tsuji signaled, and a staff member handed over the questions and answers he had prepared before to Lu Qing.

It's not a secret, because the questions are hypothetical, and when it comes to televised debates, it's mostly up to the president to act.

Lu Qing scanned these documents and found that as in history, in the face of these hypothetical questions, the answers and suggestions given by the staff to Lao Buji were all political clichés, and there were few answers as close to the people as Collinton.

He didn't point this out right away, but moved on to another topic:

"Mr. President, I don't know if you know, but in our country, there is a variety show planned by me that focuses on civilian talent shows, called "South Korean Idol", and since it was broadcast, the ratings have not dropped below 50%...... Oh, and by the way, NBC TV recently talked to us about the rights transfer of this show. ”

Although he didn't know why Lu Qing suddenly changed the topic, Lao Buji still clapped his hands in cooperation:

"Oh, congratulations, that sounds great."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Lu Qing smiled, and then pulled the topic back: "In the process of filming this show, I found an interesting problem, that is, the more ordinary the contestants selected in the show, the more tattered they are, even if their professional level is slightly worse, the support rate is not low... However, if someone is well-dressed and decent, even if he is more professional, his approval rating will not be too high......"

To be the president of a country, Lao Buji's reaction was naturally rapid, and he immediately realized that Lu Qing said that he was talking about the draft, but in fact he was saying that the answers prepared by the staff for themselves were too political and lacked proximity to the people.

"But doesn't that make me look more professional?"

Old Butji shook the document in his hand and asked suspiciously.

He is an old-school politician who thinks that the more he answers, the more he appears to be a calm and trustworthy leader of the people.

"Of course, I don't deny that, but many people will feel admiration for you because of your professional answers, and think that you are a good American leader."

Lu Qing first agreed with his point of view, and then his voice changed: "But, with all due respect, what is the proportion of these people in the group watching the presidential debate?" ”

Seeing that Lao Buji was deep in thought, Lu Qing answered directly:

"I think you also know that this ratio is definitely not too large, and more people are watching TV, and for them, the more professional you say, the more disgusted they will be with you, after all, the economy of the past four years has really not been very good, and they will think, 'Oh, you are talking so professional, then why can't you do a good job in the economy, you must be selling your talents' and so on......"

Old Buji nodded subconsciously: "Then what is your suggestion?" ”

"Minimize the use of professional vocabulary and replace it with civilian words to shorten the distance with the people."

Lu Qing replied without hesitation.

Historically, part of the reason why Bulji Sr. lost to Clinton was because of the distance between him and the people because of his high-minded answers, and the fact that the economy was not good in the past four years, so the public's impression of him deteriorated dramatically.

Hearing this, before the old Buji could answer, one of his staff couldn't help but ask: "I'm sorry, Chen, let me interrupt, you said that you want the president to give up those professional words, but doesn't this mean that the president has lost the support of those professionals?" ”

Although the number of professionals may not be large, it is also a large ticket warehouse.

Old Bu Tsuji also looked at Lu Qing to see how he answered.

"No, not really."

Lu Qing shook his head and smiled: "If it were in previous years, you might have this concern, but this year's competitor is Clinton, and it is impossible for those professionals to let you, a veteran politician who led the United States to the position of world hegemon, not choose, and support a young man." ”

Old Butji suddenly laughed: "Yes, the people who support me will definitely continue to support me, because I am completely different from the image of the kid who can't control the trouser chain!" ”

Obviously, Lu Qing's words made Lao Bu Tsuji Mao pause, and he actually started to joke.

In fact, what Lu Qing didn't know was that before he came, Lao Buji and others had already realized the biggest dilemma they faced in this campaign-

Economy.

Just as Collinton's running mate dared to hang a banner on the wall that said 'Stupid, the problem is economics' to mock Bruji Sr., Bruji Sr. and others were unable to cope with Colinton's economic encirclement.

Because the economic poor of the past four years is an objective fact, he has no way to deny it.

But now with Lu Qing's 'admitting mistakes' rhetoric and his suggestion to change his image to win over civilian votes, the predicament faced by Lao Buji in this election campaign has been alleviated by half.

"Come on, Chen, it's almost noon, how about a meal at the White House?"

Old Butji looked at the time, got up and sent out an invitation: "It's not me to brag, our mousse cake here is definitely the best in the world." ”

"yes, then I'm going to have a taste."

Lu Qing smiled and agreed.

Naturally, he will not refuse this opportunity to get closer to Lao Buji, after all, this is the biggest killer weapon to prepare to return to South Korea.

……

In this way, for the next two days, Lu Qing stayed in the White House and concentrated on being Lao Buji's staff.

During this period, he put forward a number of suggestions to the old Buji, such as the etiquette issue that was most criticized by the American people in his previous life-

When one of the voters on the show raised his financial concerns, the elder Bushi chose to sit on his chair with his legs crossed and answer, occasionally lifting his belt and peeking at his watch, but Clinton came to the voter like a friend, holding her hand affectionately and answering.

The two are judged by superiority.

One high up,

A kind and kind.

Ordinary people don't think that your answer is more professional and choose you, they just think that you are too cold, too ruthless, and too indifferent to our feelings.

At Lu Qing's suggestion, Lao Buji also began to try to play a kind old man next door.

Yes, play.

After all, Lao Buji is still an elite politician in his bones, how could his personality suddenly change in just a few days?

……

That's it

The time quickly came to the first of the presidential televised debates.

Lu Qing, as a staff member, also rushed to the recording site of the show with Lao Buji and others.

Along the way, there is a Chevrolet SUV of the Secret Service in front of the road, accompanied by guards on motorcycles on both sides, and vehicles following to protect them, all of which are full of professional special forces with loaded guns and live ammunition......

"I've experienced a Merica's president-level security, right?"

Looking at the bodyguard dressed in black and with a cold face outside the car, Lu Qing smiled to himself.

Soon, the group came to the scene of the election debate program.

After being carefully trained by Lu Qing, the old Bu Tsuji stepped onto the stage with a confident face.
