Chapter 662 Talking to Each Other

After all, he was the mayor of New York, even for one term, and even if he lost the ruling power of the largest city in the United States to the Elephant Party under the public's complaints about public security issues, his political life is tantamount to over, but Ding Jin How to say it is still an African-American leader and a former donkey party leader, whose influence in politics and the black community cannot be underestimated.

"I am very inspired by what you said..."

Song Ya scratched his forehead sincerely. The other party might be afraid that he would not understand, so he said it very straightforwardly and honestly, "But I'm not in the mood to think so far now!" It's a good time to ask the other party for some political resources to deal with the FBI's investigation that may affect itself.

Now on my side...the FBI hasn’t moved yet. After Vic committed suicide and was sent to the hospital, Peter also started to act in Chicago. Opportunity to deal with the old man in front of me, forget it, let's not talk about it for the time being.

He smiled wryly: "I've never thought about these things before, you know, at my age, I generally don't think about these things..."

"With great power comes great responsibility," Dinkins said.

The more money, the greater the responsibility, right? Song Ya complained in her heart.

"APLUS, Mr. Dinkins."

At this time Jesse Jackson appeared. He and Dingkins are both African-American leaders of the Donkey Party. They have differences and cooperation. Dingkins has been a professional politician for a long time. If those words are really expressed publicly, they need a gorgeous mosaic multicultural packaging, and Jesse Jackson’s demands are much more straightforward. World peace, environmental protection, equal rights, women’s rights, etc. are not counted, and the others are black groups. Lower student loans, better employment opportunities, employee rights and education, housing, seats, and judicial fair treatment, etc., are justified and unreasonable.

On the issue of the interests of the black community, one is moderate and obscure, the other is aggressive, and the party-like Colin is more conservative. Of course, the three political black lights are not considered the most radical on the left and right sides of the political spectrum. , otherwise it will not be recognized by the mainstream crowd.

"Jesse, are you really going to run for the general election next year?" Dinkins asked him.

"It's... not sure yet." Jesse Jackson shook his head, "You know, the situation is more complicated now."

If you take the entertainment industry as an example, Dingkins is already dead, and Jesse Jackson is still popular, but he has passed his "peak period". "I heard that Oprah is also interested in running for the election." Jesse Jackson said.

"It is indeed possible." Dingkins nodded.

The two chatted about politics, elections, and social activities. Song Ya was still completely unable to intervene for the time being, and felt that the two of them couldn't let go of the chat because they were beside him, so they found an excuse to leave.

"Do you know them both?"

He asked Eli, his crisis publicist who was also Peter's campaign manager.

"After Dingkins was elected mayor of New York, the outside world was very optimistic about him running for the general election in the future, and Jesse Jackson participated in the previous two general elections..."

Eli thought for a while and said: "Their conflicts were most intense in the early 1990s. Although Dingkins was older, he came from behind compared to Jesse Jackson in terms of political status. They are all of African descent, so it is inevitable that there will be some attacks on each other..."

"So the two of them used to be enemies?" Song Ya became interested.

"It's okay, but overall it's not too tearful, and the time is very short. Dingkins didn't do a good job as the mayor of New York, and he will soon no longer be a threat to Jesse Jackson."

Eli replied.

"So who is the biggest threat to Jesse Jackson now? Colin?" Song Ya asked: "I heard that the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is very vocal in the Elephant Party. They said that if Colin is elected, he will definitely win in sight."

"hehe……"

Eli laughed, "On the contrary, Colin's presence is a good thing for Jesse Jackson,

The current commander-in-chief has done a good job. The Elephant Party used the old routine to win the election in 1996. The introduction of Colin, a standard professional soldier who has made great achievements in the Middle East, may indeed divide the votes of black people who are used to supporting the Donkey Party. , Then think about it, how will the donkey party deal with it? They will inevitably push a black politician to secure votes during the primary election within the Donkey Party, and the candidate is likely to be Jesse Jackson. In this way, his political weight within the Donkey Party will greatly increase. "

"I understand. No wonder he mentioned Oprah to Dingkins just now. He is not afraid of Colin now, but afraid that Oprah, a dark horse, will come out and take his position, right?" Song Ya asked.

"That's right, Oprah is also a donkey. She is a black man, a woman, and a celebrity. She has a better public image than Jesse Jackson, and she doesn't have so many flaws in personal morality. In 1993, she also advocated and promoted children's The Conservation Act was passed by Congress."

Eli said: "Oprah is really a good choice against Colin."

"Will Oprah run?"

Song Ya never liked that woman very much, especially after the interview with MJ in 1993.

"It depends on the Elephant Party. Colin has not yet decided. After all, even if he runs for the election, he may not necessarily be able to win the current commander-in-chief. Moreover, it is still difficult to elect an African-American commander-in-chief."

Eli thought for a while, "It's even more impossible for the donkey party to win the incumbent commander in the primary election, so how to maximize the benefits of this political capital... In short, it depends on Colin, Colin's election, Then Jesse Jackson and Oprah can gain a lot of political benefits by running for the election. If Colin is not elected, they will feel that the current commander-in-chief is looking for trouble. The choice...how should I put it? It's very subtle. Political choices are always very delicate. And once you participate in the election, you will become the target of everyone. Many old negative behaviors will be dug up and attacked by the media or by your opponents. Now Colin and Oprah Ra is almost morally perfect in the public eye, but what if they run? Will they still be? I doubt it."

"Um."

Song Ya nodded. I didn't pay much attention to these African-American politicians before, but now I can't. After all, the FBI is under pressure. It is very important for me to be able to mobilize the support of the black base like Simpson, although it should be The last choice, but you have to prepare early, "So if Colin and Oprah both run, Jesse Jackson will be very bad, right?"

"It's not good, but it's not so bad. He is a well-known pastor, a leader of equal rights, has great social influence, and has run for the Grand Commander twice, although there may be more who will be poached." The scandal caused by the election will definitely not win the election, but he still has the ability to cause trouble for others. He actually knows that if the donkey party opponent does not want to be divided by him, he will definitely offer some benefits to buy him. Politically, In terms of economics, I guess he is mainly thinking about this now."

Eli said: "For example, recently he began to attack Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the two largest non-bank housing mortgage companies in the United States), trying to force them to provide low-interest special loans to African Americans. Being troubled by the African-American group or showing favor to other affected politicians, it is very likely to compromise with him, and maybe he will donate a sum of money to his foundation or equal rights organization, you see, fame and profits , isn't it?"

"As you said, political choices are subtle. A politician who always maintains the ability to disrupt the situation, even after repeated battles and defeats, can still reap a lot of benefits from it, isn't that right?" Song Ya felt that he understood a little bit.

"Yes, but you can't lose too ugly like Dinkins." Eli blinked.

"Haha..." Song Ya laughed.

He was talking about Dinkins and Jesse Jackson, and they were talking about him over there.

"APLUS has great potential. Although it is young, it is basically on the right path politically."

Jesse Jackson is full of praise for Dingkins: "He has long supported the desegregation of South Africa, supported equal rights, women's rights, charity and is willing to donate money. He is not as divorced from the African-American group as MJ, Simpson and Jordan, nor is he A scum like Tyson."

"Did he donate money to your Rainbow Alliance?" Dingkins knew each other too well, and the old man complained coldly.

"He supported our cause."

Jesse Jackson still has a chance in politics, and the wording is more careful than him, "so we need to give him sincere guidance at this age when he has not yet found his place in the political spectrum."

"I feel that in the past two years, he has not been as enthusiastic about politics as when he first debuted. He seems to be lost in the huge wealth. Look here..."

Dingkins pointed to the row of lanterns and fountains arranged by Mariah Carey for the perfect wedding not far away, "This couple is constantly consuming, consuming, and consuming, buying a mansion in Malibu, an island in the Bahamas, IT in Silicon Valley The professional liar easily took five million from him, and instead of worrying about him becoming MJ, Simpson and Tyson, you might as well worry about him becoming the second MC."

"I hear you're interested in getting him into the Inner City Broadcasting Company?"

Jesse Jackson smiled. "It's not a profitable business."

"I don't care. The Sutton family is a bit overwhelmed now. I'm just doing my duty as an old friend to help."

Dinkins shot back: "I was just warning him that I would never change the political orientation of an inner city broadcasting company for a young billionaire's money."

"You don't have to worry about that, right? Isn't American Music Magazine his? Over the years, nothing has changed. I heard that the editor-in-chief of American Music, Shirley Fleming, is Percy Sutton's old friend, right? She It’s politically part of the Manhattan Gang, right?”

If Song Ya heard their conversation, he would be surprised that the two knew him much better than he knew them. Jesse Jackson said: "You might as well worry about whether Giuliani will touch the Apollo Theater." , He seems to have been wanting to take back the right to operate that theater? How much would the Inner City Broadcasting Company be worth without the legendary theater that hosted the debuts of MJ and other superstars and the legendary theater in the eyes of African-American artists? Woolen cloth?"

"If my successor does this, it will be a political hunt." Dinkins replied.

"Of course, he will definitely not do anything during his first term, but not necessarily after his second term."

Jesse Jackson is a very good orator, and quickly gained the upper hand in the confrontation between the two, "You should understand the subtle differences here better than I do. But don't worry, I won't spoil you and the Sutton family in APLUS thing."

"ha!"

Dingkins finally couldn't hold it back, and sneered very unhappily, "You might as well look after your lower body first, that kid from APLUS has more self-control than you."
