Chapter Fourteen

…Zhouxing said that the US election was controlled by the Leeds Group, "squalid" then the election in the Year is a struggle made by American citizens to defend the political system of freedom and democracy.

For any American citizen, a good year's election has extraordinary significance.

After the election, Xu mentioned in commenting on the election results that for the Democratic League, this is a great battle of "defeating even if it is defeated", and for American voters, it is a great struggle to defend a political system of freedom and democracy.

Although the results were not ideal, the DPP learned a lot from this election.

More importantly, after this election, no one thinks that the Democratic League is an optional small political party.

In fact, under the leadership of several outstanding politicians, the DPP is one step away from victory. In other words, the DPP made only one mistake during the entire campaign, and it was a very inconspicuous mistake. That is, it arranged a wrong campaign combination.

Strictly speaking, this is not a mistake.

According to the relevant content mentioned by Petraeus in his memoir, when he invited Mrs. Lobring to "join." The basic condition offered by the Democratic League was to elect Mrs. Lobring as a presidential candidate.

Although Petraeus did not say it in more detail in his memoirs, judging by the circumstances at that time, if the DPP wanted to win over Mrs. Lobrin, she had to elect her as presidential candidate. The reason was very simple. Mrs. Lobrin resigned from the position of Secretary of State because the Republican Party did not intend to elect her as presidential candidate.

As mentioned earlier, as early as in my childhood, those interest groups that supported the Republican Party or secretly controlled the Republican Party believed that anyone could represent the Republican Party to win the 8-year election, so there was no need to support a politician like Mrs. Lobring. In this way, at the beginning of the year, when the Republican Party began to prepare for the election, Mrs. Lobring was excluded. Although in order to stabilize the political situation, it was avoided.

At that time, some Republican members still elected Mrs. Lobring and publicly announced their support for Mrs. Lobring's running for president. However, no one considered Mrs. Lobring in the internal decision-making of the Republican Party. Although these tricks could not deceive Mrs. Lobring, as one of the veterans of the Republican Party, no matter what, Mrs. Lobring refused to give up hope. It was not until the end of the year A, as the campaign curtain opened and the Republican primary election began, Mrs. Lobring was completely desperate.

Given the situation at that time, Mrs. Lobring had probably not thought about joining the DPP, but wanted to retire.

In fact, Mrs. Lobring, who was over 2 years old, wanted to retire. No matter what, as a woman, even Mrs. Lobring is a well-known politician, it is impossible for Mrs. Lobring to devote her whole life to politics like a man, and there will always be times of weakness. After working in the State Council for 7 years, and with her previous political career, Mrs. Lobring had long been exhausted and thought that it was normal for her to retire.

The problem is that as a politician, Mrs. Lobring Fengding would not be willing to accept failure.

From retreat to comeback, the difference is that anyone can reignite Mrs. Lobring's fighting spirit. The new address of this site has been changed to: One match... Otter please log in to read!

Obviously, this person cannot come from the Republican Party, nor is he definitely not a member of the Democratic Party. In the Democratic Party, there is such a politician who can cheer up Mrs. Lobring. In other words, there is such a politician who can gain Mrs. Lobring's trust.

This person is Duchewei.

After Mrs. Lobring returned to the manor in North Carolina, Ducheway rushed over and said only that after Xiao Zhou, who was supported by his family, announced that he would join the Democratic New Committee.

It was at this time that Mrs. Lobring received Duchway's promise.

You should know that before that, the DPP did not decide who would participate in the presidential election. In the situation at that time, Petraeus had a high prestige within the party, but was influenced by the election storm. It was difficult to get enough support from voters. Compared with Petraeus, Duchwie did not lack the support and recognition of voters. However, as a politician, his influence in the DPP was far inferior to that of Petraeus. In this way, if Petraeus did not intend to make any concessions, Duchwie could only compete for the vice president as a partner at most.

The problem is here.

Petraeus and Duchway are partnering with thugs. The biggest problem is that both of them come from the army. They are both very famous generals. Although Duchway held important positions in the Brandino government and also performed during Westwood's administration, Petraeus did not hold important positions in the government, and even did not have much administrative experience. In this way, the biggest problem for the two to form a partner is that they cannot convince voters that they can manage the United States well. Obviously, no American voter wants to manage the country like the military.

In other words, the DPP lacks a political policy that can be accepted by voters and has nothing to do with the army.

This is the fundamental reason why Duchway invited Mrs. Lobring in a high-profile manner.

In fact, Duqiwei made great sacrifices in this matter. Because he was Petraeus' assistant. So after inviting Mrs. Lobring to join the DPP, he had to withdraw from the campaign team. Although with Duqiwei's influence and his previous administrative experience, as long as the DPP won the general election, he would be the number one candidate for Yuzhouba. Even if he became Secretary of State, Hang would become the Minister of Defense, in four words, Duqiwei would not be idle. However, the biggest problem brought by Duqiwei after withdrawal was not this, but who is the main and who is the second in the combination of Mrs. Lobring and Petraeus?

If he was just a running mate, he would definitely not be able to impress Mrs. Lobring.

You should know that in the American political system, the vice president is a "backup". As long as the president is normal, the vice president can only go around and attract attention at most. It is impossible to play a role in major decisions of the federal government. When some major affairs that threaten the security of the United States occur, they must even take the initiative to avoid the president and the vice president at the same time. In other words, the power of the vice president is not even comparable to the Secretary of State.

More importantly, Petraeus does not have much appeal.

Duqiwei voluntarily withdrew from his running mate. In addition to providing conditions for Mrs. Lobring to join the DPP, he was also putting pressure on Petraeus in disguise. To put it bluntly. In order to win a greater chance of winning for the DPP, Duqiwei made concessions with great attitude, and Petraeus, the number one figure in the DPP, should also make some statements. If he ignores the interests of the party for personal gain, he will not be qualified to be the leader of the DPP.

In this way, Petraeus had no choice but to give in.

That's why, after two years of disposal, Mrs. Lobring was the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, and was the governor of Maine for the past year of the Republican election, and the former California senator elected by the Democratic Party. The address of this site has been changed to: The old match... Please log in to read the fourth reading!

This arrangement is more or less problematic.

Although no one can deny Mrs. Lobring's political talent, and her appeal among Republican supporters, nor can anyone deny her campaign mate, that is, Petraeus' appeal in the Democratic support, the biggest problem after the two formed a campaign combination is the impact on supporters on both sides. To put it simply, Republican supporters who are optimistic about Mrs. Lobring must consider Petraeus' influence before casting the vote. Similarly, Democratic supporters must also consider Mrs. Lobring's influence before voting.

The campaign combination also brings a more acute problem, that is, the ruling program.

Although Petraeus is a typical hawkish politician, Mrs. Lobring is a relatively rare dove politician in the Republican Party. In other words, the two-part campaign combination cannot have a unified ruling program. It is impossible to put forward slogans that can make voters excited when participating in the election.

The reality is the same. During the election campaign, the slogan of the DPP's competition was very empty.

The result is conceivable, many voters did not vote for the Democratic League.

That's exactly that. Mrs. Lobring eventually lost to Clezeman by an extremely narrow gap, and the Republicans won the election for the third time in a row. You know, this has tied the continuous rule record set by Reagan and Bush Sr. to the thugs of Zhaonian. It is the first time that the Republicans have won the election in a row in a row in the century.

One issue is involved here, that is, the US electoral system.

Unlike other Western countries, when three political parties run for elections. Moreover, no candidate from any political party wins more than half of the electoral votes, the second round of elections is not directly held, but the Supreme Court decides. If the candidate who gets the most electoral votes leads the nephew at least the other candidates, he will be directly elected. Only when the gap is less, the two candidates who get the most votes can compete in the second round.

Mrs. Lobring only had fewer candidate votes than Clezeman, which means she just surpassed the blessing.

Although he lost the election, from another perspective, the DPP is the real winner of this election.

First of all, for the ruling Clezerman, because the House election and Senate election were held at the same time as the presidential election, and the Republicans did not win a majority in both elections, so even if they moved to the White House, Clezerman could not successfully implement his country's governance policy. Secondly, the impact of this election on American voters, that is, from this time on American voters must adapt to the political pattern of tripartite competition. Although in the eyes of many people, at most, the weakest of the three parties will be eliminated. Returning to the state of rotation between the two parties, which party is eliminated. And how much impact the United States will be affected, I am afraid no one can say.

Finally, the status of the Democratic Party has been recognized. At least all Americans know that there is another party outside the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, and it is an influential and capable party to compete for the presidential throne. When commenting on this election, Bi mentioned that although the Democratic Party lost the election at a slight disadvantage, who can guarantee that the Democratic Party will not make a comeback after the New Year? In fact, after the Supreme Court ruled that the Republican candidate Clazeman won the election, many news media predicted that after the provocation, the Democratic Party will not only make a comeback, but will also defeat all competitors in the election.

Actually, you don't need to wait until 4 years later.

After the election, Petraeus announced his withdrawal from the Democratic New Party, with Duchwit as the leader. The first thing Duchwit did after taking office was to award Petraeus the title of "lifelong honorary party leader," and put Petraeus on the altar as the founder of the Democratic New Party.

This change has already made the Democrats and Republicans feel threatened.

If Petraeus is a more idealistic politician, then Duchwie is a politician with a strong realistic genius. Of course, no one denies that Duchwie is a politician with goals, ideals, and great ambitions.

In a sense, the DPP lost the election because it did not recommend Du Qiwei.

Imagine that if Ducheway partnered with Mrs. Lobring, and was mainly Ducheway. The Democratic New Committee had a chance to win the election at a young age, Ducheway would become the third president elected as a retired general since Grant and Eisenhower. More importantly, Ducheway is likely to become a national leader like Theodore Roosevelt, who combines military and political talents and has strong appeal.

The problem is that in the general election of the year, Duchway could not replace Petraeus and Mrs. Lobrin.

In any case, Petraeus' retreat was absolutely a good thing for the NDP. You should know that this general who once commanded the US military to invade Baghdad within three weeks, overthrew the Sada Tho regime, and was appointed to Afghanistan in the face of danger to command coalition forces in Afghanistan. When he ran for election, he was the oldest presidential candidate in American history. It can be said that the Democratic Party lost the election in the rough year. The Democratic Party lost the election in Mom Year. It is closely related to the age of this energetic and healthy retired general.

Compared with Petraeus, Duchwie's biggest advantage is his youth.

Although Duqiwei is old by the standards of a soldier, Duqiwei, who is just over 20 years old, is in the golden age of a politician. If we consider his stature in the army, his age is even less of a problem.

More importantly, Duchwit is like Petraeus. He has no illusions of politicians.

In the minds of most Americans, Duchewei is still the general who commanded the US military to fight bravely on the Korean Peninsula, gave advice to allies during the conflict in the Cambridge Islands, and was in danger in the Middle East War. An unyielding and selfless soldier.

That's exactly that. After Duchewei became the leader of the Democratic New Party, his approval rating rose by nearly a percentage point, surpassing the Republican Party and becoming the party with the highest public opinion and drug rating.

Of course, this has to be counted as Mrs. Lobring's credit.

Duchway's ability to become the leader of the Democratic New Party has a lot to do with Mrs. Lobring's retreat. At that time, although after Petraeus retired, Mrs. Lobring could not have been able to compete for the leader, if she couldn't think about it, she would definitely leave the Democratic New Party and would go home to retire. In any case, Mrs. Lobring had influence, especially among the traditional support of the Republican Party. Mrs. Lobring's appeal exceeded other members of the Democratic New Party, and if the Democratic New Party wanted to make a comeback in four years, she had to use Mrs. Lobring's appeal. It was precisely this that Petraeus did not give up the position of the leader to Nevid or Copperfield, and they had extraordinary relationships with Petraeus. Instead, they let Duchway take over the position of Mrs. Lobring. The reason is very simple. Only Duchway can retain Mrs. Lobring.

It can be seen from this that Du Qiwei became the beneficiary of Mom Nian’s husband’s choice.

Because several "big names in the Democratic League made the wisest choice and did not have much negative impact on the party's reputation, Duchewei only needs to do one thing to do quietly, that is, to make up for the mistakes made in the general election of the Year of the Roots, and to formulate a detailed and conspiring campaign program for the election, that is, how to govern the US ruling program.

This is a systematic and complex project.

Fortunately, Duchewei did not have to respond hastily before the election like Petraeus and Mrs. Lobrin. He had time to prepare for a long time. More importantly, when he became the leader of the Democratic League, Duchewei had accumulated enough political and administrative experience and had a high prestige. For him, as long as he could shout a slogan that could impress voters, he could win the election in 2019.

In fact, even Pei Chengyi regarded Du Qiwei as the number one threat.

You should know that on the battlefield, Du Qiwei has proved that he is a soldier who loves his motherland. If Du Qiwei wins the general election in 2019, it will definitely pose a serious threat to the Republic. That is exactly that. In June of that year, Du Qiwei announced his separation from the Democratic Party and joined the Democratic Party, Pei Chengyi found Liu Xiaobin and asked him to pay close attention to this American politician who took off his military uniform. The new address of this website has changed his power: Yiyang... Please log in to the old envoy!

The problem is that when Duchee-witted the DPP was preparing for another attack on the White House, the Republic also faced the same problem. The Military Intelligence Bureau could not focus on foreign countries, and even Pei Chengyi did not have enough energy to continue to pay attention to the every move of his opponents across the ocean.

For the Republic, the election of the first year is equally important and complex.

More importantly, this election will not only determine who the national leader will be in the next three years, but also determine whether the political reform of the Republic can enter the second stage and whether a truly democratic political system can be established.

For Yan Jingyu, who Pei Chengyi supports, this is an election that cannot be afforded.

For Pei Chengyi, this is also a battle that must be won!
