Chapter 470 Crisis(1/2)

After a while, Mr. Chris returned home, took off his heavy police department fur coat, and walked towards Payton, who was reading the newspaper.

“How is school feeling?”

"It's not bad. There are many novel things in the school, and the content of the teacher's lectures is also very interesting."

Mr. Chris smiled softly: "That's good!"

As he said that, he glanced at the newspaper that Payton was reading, with a big title to the next president, who do you support?

The federal election will change every four years. According to the time, the next president will officially take office on January 20, 1953.

This is a hot topic for the Federation. It is obvious that there is more than a year left before the change of leadership, but the topic of discussion about the change of leadership has been ignited in the Federation.

Almost all the people paid attention to the fight.

Mr. Chris was interested: "Little Peyton, who do you think the next president will be?"

Payton pondered for a moment and said: "According to Article 23 of the Constitutional Amendment approved and came into force in February 1951, the president's power is about to be put in a cage, and no one wants another strong Roosevelt."

"As the president of the Democratic Party and Roosevelt's successor, Truman is likely to be re-elected, and the current environment does not support his re-election."

"good."

Mr. Chris nodded, which was recognized by all members of the Federation as Roosevelt's successor, Truman's status was far away.

The Democratic Party has been in power for 20 years and the Republican Party, which has been silent for 20 years, attacked it by any means. They secretly continued to promote the prevalence of McCarthyism in the federal government, and the contradictions directly pointed to Truman.

McCarthy's slogan was "invading artillery fire into the State Council", and the Truman government was also labeled as "involving the Soviet Union" and "betraying Chiang Kai-shek's group".

He directly pointed out that the 20 years of the Democratic Party's leadership were "20 years of treason".

At the same time, the problems on the Korean battlefield, coupled with the dismissal of MacArthur and the recent steel workers' strike, seriously affected Truman's re-election...

There are also undercurrents within the Democratic Party, and the veteran Senate within the party is not optimistic about Truman's re-election.

Therefore, during this period, they have successively launched new Democratic stars, hoping to be the next successor to Truman.

The federal election of the election was almost jointly promoted by both parties.

The enemy's attack, the backstab of allies, and the next president, it is absolutely impossible for Truman!

"Who do you think of? Congressman Lyndon Johnson, General Eisenhower, Congressman Robert Taft, Congressman Thomas Dewey, Governor Stevenson? Or Congressman Nixon, a super political star?"

Mr. Chris said slowly, and famous names in politics were spoken out of his mouth.

These are the people of the next president who are being discussed in the newspaper.

His eyes were staring at Payton.

He was looking forward to Payton's answer, he had three sons and one daughter.

The eldest daughter is fine, she is considered well-behaved, but her gender is the biggest limitation.

Although feminism is emerging, there is still a long way to go before women really stand up in politics.

The two older sons were obviously useless and only inherited his strong physical fitness, without his vision and wisdom at all.

In the future, it will be an ordinary middle class.

It seems that only this young son can show his talent to inherit his political ambitions

Mr. Chris has always been looking forward to Payton.

The big number is useless, practice number again!

This is what he expects.

At the beginning, Mrs. Chris questioned why Peyton was caused.

Mr Chris said he didn't know, but he knew that it was because the condom was accidentally pierced by him "unintentionally"...

Payton organized his language in his heart and said slowly: "The Democratic Party has been in power for 20 years, too long!"

"Either the people or the federal capital need some freshness. Too many contradictions have been accumulated over twenty years. Now, all contradictions need to be reconciled."

"Contradiction, reconciliation?" Mr. Chris muttered two words, and found it very interesting.

Payton continued: "Emerging capital is pushing, they want some changes in the federal government, and they want someone on the stage who is following their position, and they don't want the next president or the Democratic Party."

"The next president, I tend to be Republican, and Congressman Lyndon Johnson and Governor Stevenson are both jewels of the Democratic Party, recognized as the next heir of the Democratic Party. Perhaps one of them will be the Democratic Party candidate, but it will definitely not be the president, well...at least it will not be the president of this term."

"As for the Republican Party, Dewey has failed twice, and his claims have not been recognized by many people. Even within the Republican Party, his reputation is much worse than before."

(Note: Thomas Dewey, governor of New York, is a famous mafia nemesis. He lost to Roosevelt and Truman twice as a Communist candidate!)

"Taft is Mr. Republican, the leader of the Republican Party, but he is so cold that he is not like a flesh-and-blood leader, but more like a political machine. And he will endure the Democratic Party's final counterattack, and the possibility of him becoming president is extremely small."

"Nixon is a political star in the Republican Party and has a very popular foundation, but he is too young and has too short his experience in politics. Perhaps he can become the next vice president launched by the Republican Party and the future president."

"As for General Eisenhower, as a five-star general of the federal military and the principal of Colombia, his reputation among the people has become increasingly high. As a combat hero and has not yet participated in any party, both parties are currently trying to win him over, and the probability of becoming president is extremely high!"

After hearing Payton's words, Mr. Chris was extremely satisfied.

Of course, he did not agree with Payton's opinion!

As a Democrat, Mr. Chris does not support Payton's optimism about the Communist Party.

However, the results of the campaign are unknown before they come out.

Now Payton can clearly analyze the pros and cons of each political star, and get a seemingly reasonable result, which is very satisfying to him.

My son will surely become an excellent politician in the future, Mr. Chris thought in his heart.

"It's very good. Although I don't support your point of view, I defend your right to speak. Your point of view is very sufficient. But you ignore the power of the Democratic Party. We have a great president like Roosevelt and a qualified heir like Truman. 20 years of rule are far from being shaken by the Republican Party..." Mr. Chris said confidently.

He lived in the Democratic era and experienced the great President Roosevelt era, and he did not think that the Republican Party could influence their rule.

All difficulties are only temporary.

Republican? What guys are that?

How can a group of insects rule?

"And how could a non-partisan person become president?"

"Maybe General Eisenhower will join the Republican Party, maybe?" Payton smiled.

"How is it possible? Even if you join the party, you will only join the Democratic Party and have been in power for 20 years. This is our foundation!"

Mr. Chris said firmly.

After hearing Mr. Chris's firm words, Payton did not refute and argue.

Because, it has no meaning, he doesn't like to make meaningless arguments.

Time will tell!

What he said was basically the conclusions obtained by later generations. Since his father did not believe it, then forget it.

In a sense, he understood his father very well.

Chris first lived in Roosevelt's time and the Democratic world.

The Qing Dynasty had old and young people, so how many followers were not allowed to Roosevelt?

The peak witnesses false support, and the dusk witnesses loyal believers!

Franklin Roosevelt is a belief in itself.

Following the Democratic leader, Mr. Chris experienced World War II and witnessed the rise of the Federation.

In addition, he is a staunch Democratic Party member and a believer of Roosevelt, and he has a blind trust in the Democratic Party.

But he forgot that the essence of politics is compromise. In twenty years, the contradictions accumulated by society need to be resolved and everything needs to be reconciled.

There are naturally reasons why both parties are in power.

If you want to resolve these contradictions and reconcile social order, this presidential change is the best opportunity.

No matter who the president is, he must be a Republican.

Payton believes that at the top of the two parties, there is already a tacit understanding.

Shaking his head, Payton didn't think much about it. Anyway, this incident had little impact on the father and son.

Although Mr. Chris is a Democrat, he is just a low-level city councillor. Such a high-level game is still far from him.

It's even further away from Payton.

...

In a blink of an eye, another year passed, and it was October 1952.

Time seems to be verifying Payton's point of view little by little. Months ago, Truman announced that he would not run for election.

General Eisenhower announced that he would become a Republican candidate, and Senator Nixon became his partner. The two began speeches one after another, fighting for votes, running for president and vice president respectively.

A storm broke out not long ago, and the media attacked Nixon for improper behavior.

Then, a vigorous counterattack began!

Richard Millhouse Nixon, remember a name!

A true political genius!
