Chapter 548, President

Winston muttered for a moment before whispering

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

"What do you mean?" Brooklyn asked.

Instead of answering, Winston asked Brooklyn, "Why are you interested in the election?"

"I'm a judge, and of course I'm interested in the election." Brooklyn rolled her eyes and got up to the window, "New York State has 27 votes, isn't it natural for me to care?"

Not all citizens have the right to vote in federal elections, but they are distributed according to the seats each state occupies in Congress. For example, New York State has 27 seats and 27 votes.

The federal election totaled 535 votes, divided into more than 50 states and territories, and New York accounted for 27 of them, which is already a large proportion.

"I'm a Republican!" Winston screamed, "You still want New York to vote for the Democrats?"

"Aren't you Republicans making a lot of trouble right now, are you the faction that supports the president or the faction that opposes the president?" Brooklyn asked.

According to the unspoken rules of the two parties, the president should take turns, this term is a donkey, the next term is an elephant, and the next term is a donkey, alternately. It's an unspoken rule.

But since the incumbent president, the competition between the two parties has been fierce, and the unspoken rules have been gradually broken, and the two sides have also faintly not followed the rules, and the victory or defeat depends on their ability.

This is one of the reasons for the chaos in Washington.

Some members of the "old-school" parties want to follow tradition and continue to rotate, while others want to get the other, each according to their ability.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Why can't you take a good look at him?"

There is a saying in Brooklyn's mind: the icing on the cake is better than the charcoal in the snow.

Winston is a classic "burn-in-the-stove" behavior.

Since it is impossible to distinguish who of the other candidates will win in the end, and they must participate in it, it is better to simply choose an underdog to support, in case the bet wins, it will be a huge profit!

Mr. President was a rich man when he was young, and he was not short of money, and he lacked support more than money.

Mr. President has a huge advantage over other presidents – he doesn't get stuck with money.

It is said that only when you have money will you be free.

Mr. President is rich enough, but not free.

He can not be at the mercy of capital, so don't blame capital for not welcoming him.

"It's a dangerous choice." Brooklyn commented.

Choosing sides in an election is not without loss – where in the world is there a risk-free trade that is all about gains?

If he gets the wrong choice, it would be a serious blow to Winston's political career.

Throughout the new president's tenure, he will not want to climb up, let alone enter Washington. If he can keep his current power, he is already the new president's generosity!

Brooklyn thought for a moment and recounted Michael's plan.

"Maybe you can support Mr. President in a different way." Brooklyn said, "How about we secretly support him?"

It is not surprising that there are a large number of public supporters, and naturally there will also be a large number of secret supporters who are not public.

Publicly supported people will naturally have greater support, higher investment, deeper binding to candidates, and more generous returns.

Non-public secret support can give limited support, the investment is relatively small, the binding is not deep, the return is low, and the implication is very small.

For federal capital and politicians, the general election is actually similar to betting on B, with ALLIN, gradual raising, and even separate betting.

Originally, Brooklyn was not willing to participate in this gamble, but after seeing Michael's plan, he kind of wanted to get involved.

After talking about the plan, Brooklyn added, "The most worrying thing for me now is whether Mr. President is reliable. I need an accurate answer to see if it's going to work."

Winston thought for a moment, and instead of answering Brooklyn's question, he talked about Mr. President's situation.

"Mr. President, unlike the other candidates." Winston paused, as if to be patient, and finally couldn't help but say, "At least not like Mr. Vice President, like an idiot."

Mr. Vice President, a Democrat named Joe Biden, is 77 years old this year.

Joe Biden, who ran for the presidency twice, lost both times, and when his son died of illness in 2015, Joe Biden announced that he would not run in the 2016 election, and since then, it has been tacitly assumed that Joe Biden will not run in the presidential election.

After all, he was 74 years old at the time.

As a result, Joe Biden suddenly announced his candidacy for next year's general election in April this year.

This is not the first time that news of Joe Biden's candidacy has been reported, as the "unconfirmed" news was published in The Hill back in February. At the time, it was thought that this was fake news and that Joe Biden could not be in the election.

As a result, in April, he himself announced his candidacy for the general election.

Unlike the current president, who only gives 1 million to entrepreneurs, Joe Biden was born into a middle-class family. Joe Biden can have today's status, and it really depends on his own hard work.

Joe Biden and the current President are opposed to each other in terms of party affiliation and position, perception and class.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Winston complains about JoeBiden, he complains about JoeBiden's age.

Joe Biden is 77 years old this year and will join next year

And the general election is 78 years old.

The general election is not a joke, it needs to run around, carry out speeches and other activities everywhere, which is more tiring than celebrities running announcements.

The celebrities ran to the announcement and ran over to push a few, but the candidates didn't dare to push, they could only grit their teeth and insist.

At the age of 78, he has to go on a federal tour in a very short time, which has to make people worry about his health.

And more importantly, if Joe Biden is elected president of the Federation, he will take office in 2021, when he will be 79 years old, the president will be for four years, and four years later, he will be 83.

An 83-year-old president!

Even with the development of modern technology and the continuous improvement of medical standards, the 83-year-old president is amazing enough.

In fact, even now, 83 years old is still considered an advanced age, and it is a length of life that many people cannot reach.

An age that would be good for many to be alive requires Joe Biden not only to live, but also to take on the role of president, making decisions on a range of national policies. Isn't that hard for a strong man!

His body was constantly aging, and his spirit was simply not enough to support him in such an intense occupation.

"I'm really afraid he'll be there at the press conference."

Winston is still complaining about the vice president.

Due to Joe Biden's age, there is a tacit consensus that Joe Biden's candidacy is just a puppet, and someone else really controls him.

But no one cared. The president of the Federation has been like this since the first term, everyone is in control, but this mysterious person behind the scenes has chosen an elderly puppet to make everyone feel funny.

After complaining for a while, Winston brought the conversation back to the point, and he continued

"Mr. President could have paid for the huge campaign expenses out of his own pocket. Even without political donations, his campaign will not be affected in the slightest."

"This gives Mr. President a slight difference from other presidents, which is that he is freer."

"But our Mr. President wants more. Freedom alone is not enough for him, he wants to become the real president of the Federation."

Righteous Federal President!

This is not to say that the current president and the presidents who have been there are fake, but in terms of the constraints on power and conduct.

Relatively speaking, the incumbent president is less constrained, and the conventional methods of clamping and manipulating him are ineffective for him, and it takes some effort to get him to compromise.

And Mr. President is also ambitious, he wants to actually take control of power.

"Narcissistic personality." Brooklyn couldn't help but start complaining, "Paranoia. I suggest that Mr. President get a psychiatrist for a proper examination."

Ray's attempt to completely overthrow the Federation by force, sweep all the decay and ghosts into the garbage heap of history, and create a new order is called the ideal. Because this ideal is theoretically feasible and has the possibility of success.

Mr. President, it can only be delusional to change G based on the existing system of the Federation, to sweep away the ills of the Federation, and to make the Federation consistent with what is written and expressed. Jesus couldn't help him when he came.

Mr. President's behavior is no different from stepping on his left foot and stepping on his right foot to the sky. In addition to being seen in the world, reality can only be delusional.

It has neither a theoretical basis nor a programmatic backing. It can only be a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, spinning around like a headless fly.

No wonder Mr. President looks nervous!

"At the last party meeting, the opponents of the party really brought a psychiatrist."

Winston said faintly.

Brooklyn:......

"But Mr. President is generally reliable." Winston nodded, then changed the subject, "You can try to get in touch with him."

With the great "ideal" of "changing G" in front of him, Brooklyn did not believe that Mr. President could be a madman.

Even if he is really a madman, with the carrot of "change G" hanging, he has to obediently suppress his madness,

Be a normal person.

After listening to Winston's analysis, Brooklyn was relieved.

He is not afraid of the other party's clever methods, but he is afraid that the other party is really a madman and a psychopath.

No matter how clever the means are, they are all clear-headed and logical, as long as they are logical and can understand people's words, everything can be discussed, and they are afraid of real mental illness.

There is also logic in the world of the mentally ill, but their logic is different from the logic of the normal world, and the two are as desperate as reproductive isolation.

Now that he was sure that Mr. President was a person to whom he could communicate, Brooklyn naturally wanted to maximize his interests, and he immediately asked Winston if he could help him meet Mr. President.

Although Brooklyn is the judge who was promoted by the incumbent president, Brooklyn has actually only seen the president once...... He highly suspected that Mr. President had chosen him just by scribbling among the many names, and that he had not paid any attention to who he was.

"Are you sure?" Instead of immediately agreeing, Winston confirmed with Brooklyn.

"Don't think about it again?" Winston asked, "Working with him requires a lot of mental stress. And always be wary that he'll leak your secrets – he probably didn't mean to, like accidentally leaking something on a TV show."

"Performative personality with a thirst for attention." Brooklyn used his little knowledge of psychology to make a hasty diagnosis for Mr. President: "I watched his TV show, and he likes to talk big, so it doesn't matter, people all over the world know that our Mr. President likes to talk big."

"The media also knew that he was unreliable."

"So, even if he says something on the TV show, it's just a big talk at best. Probably no one but himself could tell what he was saying was true and what was false."

It's easy for someone with a mouth full of trains to talk without being taken seriously, even if it's true.

Mr. President is in this state right now.

Because of his many contradictory opinions, his repeated regressions, and his astonishing remarks, people have become a bit accustomed to automatically ignoring his statements.
