Chapter 1065 Rutman's death Chapter 1066 Dark clouds overwhelm the city!(2/3)
Yes, what should I do next if something happens?
In the presidential election, one of the candidates "death unexpectedly", how to deal with this matter!? To be precise, it was Rutman's death. How can we ensure that there will be no huge disaster caused by this? This is a very testic question.
Coolidge sighed and said, "Routman's victory is certain. His public opinion approval rating is far higher than Roosevelt, but if this happens, it's hard to say."
"Calvin, is there any way to make this presidential election invalid and then re-election?" I asked.
My words made some people nod, and Jack Morgan agreed.
Everyone looked at Coolidge and waited for his reply.
In this situation, the best result for us is that this presidential election can be re-elected. If the Republican presidential candidate dies, then we will elect another candidate to participate in the election. In this case, although we face a huge disadvantage, we are indeed unable to do so.
"I'm afraid it's very difficult." Coolidge shook his head: "This kind of thing has never happened. The presidential candidate died when the election was about to come out. It really has never happened. Andre said it is very correct. If it can really abolish and re-election, it is obviously the most ideal for us. But the problem is that the presidential election is strictly based on the agenda. If it is re-election, it will have to be busy for another year, and the country cannot have a day without a president for a year."
"Isn't there a vice president now? He can be represented during this period," I suggested. "This is a solution, but what I worry about is that the Democratic Party cannot agree.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ If we make such a request, they will definitely protest to Congress, claiming that it is unfair to them, and in the end, there will be only one result."
Speaking of this, Coolidge raised his head.
"What's the result!?" I asked.
I don't understand these political things at all.
"The final presidential vote will still take place." Coolidge's words made me very puzzled.
"Rutman is dead, and he's still bullshit!" I shouted.
"Routman is dead. But Roosevelt is not dead!" Coolidge clenched his fists and shouted: "The president's final vote will continue. If most people voted for Rutman, then in this way, only the election will be held again as Andre said. During this period, the president will be represented by the vice president. This is the most ideal for us, but there is a second possibility."
"Can Roosevelt win?" I smiled bitterly.
"Andre, anything can happen politically." Coolidge's words became cold.
The room suddenly became as quiet as death.
"When Rutman was alive, we operated it. Especially Rutman's own efforts have made most people in the United States support him, but now that he is dead, those who originally supported him must consider their choices. If the election is held again, the Republican Party will not be able to gain any advantage in Roosevelt. First of all, Roosevelt's reputation is rapidly increasing. If he has been entrusted for a year, his reputation will be much greater than that now. Even Rutman**** will probably have difficulties in winning him. On the other hand, our Republican Party will re-launch a new presidential campaigner. But under such circumstances, there is no one in our party who can compete with Roosevelt! The old land is too old. The young have not yet taken over to work, and we are now in a state of disagreement!"
Coolidge said, slapped the chair hard: "So even if there is a re-election, the balance of victory may be biased towards the Democratic Party. You know some things. The most important thing in the election is the support of the consortium. For them, it doesn't matter who is president. The key is whether the president can safeguard their interests. For example, the Lockettke Consortium, the Morgan Consortium and the Democratic Consortium are not in harmony with Roosevelt, but they are more volatile consortiums. They do not consider this aspect, so they will definitely re-choose, including those who previously supported us. Do you understand?"
Coolidge's words made my heart cold.
Rutman's death was like a cold current that violently attacked the Republican Party and our hearts. The situation was originally very good, and as the rivers faded, no one expected such an ending.
A group of people gathered together to analyze, but there was such a result; either the presidential election was postponed for one year, and in this case, the Republican Party would inevitably face a major crisis, or Roosevelt won the final victory in the presidential election, which is something we don't want to see.
But in comparison, we only work hard to promote the implementation of the former because we have no other choice.
Everyone was silent, especially Coolidge's words, as if they were hit hard on our hearts.
"Can there be a third ending?" Jack Morgan leaned against the sofa and turned his mouth.
"What's the ending?" Everyone was temporarily in a little spirited.
Jack Morgan said: "Roosevelt was disgraced, and both the Republican and the Democratic parties were looking for new candidates to run for election."
His words made everyone's eyes lit up, but soon after, everyone's eyes dimmed at the same time.
Everyone understands Jack Morgan's meaning. Although there are no clues of conspiracy left in Rutman's traffic accident, almost all of us believe that this matter has a fundamental relationship with Roosevelt and the Democratic Party. Because Rutman's death was the most direct beneficiaries, but what about the evidence?
"This is the best possibility, but for us, it is the most unlikely result, because we cannot find direct evidence at all. Even Edgar Hoover said that if we want to find evidence to defeat Roosevelt, we will undoubtedly find a needle in a haystack, so we should not rely on it, and make the worst plan." Coolidge's words made Jack Morgan sigh.
"Calvin, everyone is here. If you are familiar with this, just tell us what we will do next." Jack Morgan's face showed a tired look.
Coolidge nodded and said, "We can now divide our troops into three groups, with Andrei being responsible for one. Mobilize the power of the media and public opinion to put huge pressure on the government in this regard, so that the government can finally decide to postpone the general election, so that at least we can breathe a sigh of relief."
"I can do this. We can even use the media to make the public feel that Rootman's death is closely related to Roosevelt and the Democratic Party, so that their lives will not be easy." I nodded.
I can still do this in the media and public opinion.
Coolidge nodded and continued, "Second. It's my side. I will look at the government on a political level with the top Republicans on this matter, to see if we can postpone the presidential election through political channels."
"Third, and more importantly, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble Mr. Morgan." Coolidge looked at Jack Morgan with a slightly stagnant face.
"Tell me, everyone is on the same boat, I will do my best." Jack Morgan said sincerely.
Coolidge said: "Political competition. After all, it is a competition of economic strength. Mr. Morgan, you must try to ensure that the consortiums that originally supported us cannot rebel and join the Democratic Party."
"I will do this without you saying it." Jack Morgan smiled bitterly.
"And about Brian's death, we must do our best to investigate the truth of the matter. In this regard, a special investigation team can be set up." Coolidge's proposal won the recognition of everyone.
"Everyone, now can be said to be the most critical moment in the history of the Republican Party. We must work together, otherwise if we are not careful, the Republican Party's rule that has lasted for more than a hundred years will probably be lost. If Roosevelt becomes president, our lives will not be better." Coolidge glanced at these people and said solemnly.
After talking about the matter, they all divided their labours, and everyone dispersed, but Coolidge and I were not sleeping.
We sat in the living room, one smoking by the other, and the two of us were in a very heavy mood.
"Andre, I'm really worried." Coolidge looked at me and shook his head.
We have known each other for so long, but we have never seen him so decadent.
"Leave it to fate." I stood up and looked out the window. It was already sunny outside. January 5th. The day before the presidential election. The weather was very good on this day, and it was rare to be sunny.
But for all Americans, it is a storm coming.
Brian Rutman died in a car accident! This news was published on the front page of all media, radio and television, and related reports were overwhelming!
In recent years, Rutman has received more and more support and respect from the people, especially in the past year, the people's love for him is almost as good as those of Herbert Hoover. Not long ago, the people were confident that Rutman would definitely be re-election. Many people even made the decision to watch President Rutman's inauguration ceremony, but now, they suddenly say that Rutman died in a car accident. Who can accept this!
The people were in agitation, the whole country was in agitation, and various news emerged from the media.
"Mr. Rutman's car accident can be said to be the biggest tragedy in the United States since the 20th century. During his tenure as US president, he was responsible and had an advantage in this presidential election. He had a great hope of re-election, but he did not expect such a tragedy to happen. It is really a pity."
"In addition to mourning Mr. Rutman, we should also take over his will and build the United States better. As we all know, the United States is still in a bad situation. We must wipe away our tears, regroup, elect a new country, and continue to move forward under his leadership. This is also the only thing that can make Mr. Rutman sleep under the ground."
In the article in the New York Times, the attitude towards this matter is basically divided into two aspects. On the one hand, they expressed heavy condolences for Rutman's death, and they also gave extremely high praise to Rutman. Doing so is nothing more than following the trend.
On the other hand, and the most important thing is that they are obviously building momentum for the Democratic Party and Roosevelt, allowing the people to elect a new country. Although they did not explain it clearly, after reading their articles, everyone would think that this new country ******* was Roosevelt.
The New York Times argument is obviously something that the Washington Post cannot tolerate. As the mouthpiece of the Republican Party, the Washington Post made a special issue to express its opinions on this matter.
"President Rutman's death is a tragedy, a real political tragedy. One or two days before the final result of the election is about to come out, at the most critical moment, when he is basically sure that he has a car accident when he is re-election. No one can accept this fact!"
"This is a disaster for the Americans, this is a disaster for the United States. What we have to do now, besides mourning, is to investigate clearly what happened to President Rutman's death, because in our opinion, this car accident does not seem so simple.^^^^"
"Before this, the presidential election should be postponed and re-started. Only by doing so can fairness be ensured and the real cause of President Rutman's death can be found!"
The Washington Post comment was very direct, and it almost didn't take any turns. Instead, it went straight to the point, pointed out the unusual aspects of this matter to the people of the United States, and began to call for a new election.
On January 5th, the busiest people in the United States were media people. They were all about to be busy. Apart from such a big thing, they were the only way for the people to understand the truth, and they had to shoulder this mission.
On the other hand, for media that are divided into the Democratic and Republican camps, their tasks are even heavier. Because tomorrow is the last hurdle of the presidential election, it can be said that this day is a day that determines the fate of both parties. They must let public opinion develop in a direction that is beneficial to them.
As a result, radio and television were constantly moving around, and even daily newspapers published on weekdays were released one after another, and media from both camps even began to make a fuss.
The Republican media began to go crazy with the Democratic Party, accusing Rutman of having close ties with them and demanding a re-election. However, the Democratic media refused to give in and pointed out that the Republican Party was falsely accusing. If they caused Rutman's death, then come up with evidence!
Both sides were verbally quarreled, and the whole of the United States was completely anxious.
And I was also very busy because I was holding an ace in my hand: Lockettke TV.
Compared with other media, Lockettke TV's influence is incomparable.
So under my mobilization, Lockettke TV started a 24-hour uninterrupted program broadcast.
Countless journalists were sent out by us, including the federal government, Congress, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the people, and close people related to Rutman... We almost weaved a big net and reported on this matter from all aspects.
And all these reports have one theme, that is, Rutman's death is abnormal.
We did not go straight forward like Republican media such as the Washington Post, saying directly in the newspaper that the Democratic Party killed Rutman. In our reports, we did not say anything like this directly.
We speak with facts.
We interviewed people from all walks of life and analyzed Rutman's death.
Among them, almost all political research experts analyzed that the biggest beneficiaries of Rutman's death were Roosevelt and the Democratic Party. At the last juncture of the election, a car accident was about to succeed. It was normal and could not be convinced.
In addition to using facts to clarify our views, Lockettke TV also launched a powerful emotional offensive, and on the screen, people's nostalgia for Rutman accounts for a considerable part of the report.
All over the country, the people spontaneously mourn Rutman. Many details are very touching, and they are also intercepted by us to play on TV. In addition, the most touching scene is undoubtedly the sad scene of Rutman's family. When people see Rutman's two sons and see them hugging each other and crying, I think no one will cry for it.
Under the offensive of Lockettke TV, the propaganda of those paper media became very dry, and social public opinion gradually moved towards a direction that was beneficial to the Republican Party.
This is a good thing, but for us, the biggest disadvantage is that there is too little time.
The final presidential vote will be held on January 6th. We only have one day to promote it, and one day. Even if the publicity moves are large, the people will not be able to have an effective impact.
In addition, the Republican and Democrats also fought in Congress.
Rutman's death led to a major special meeting of the federal government. At this meeting, discussions were held on Rutman's death, especially the subsequent presidential election.
The meeting was held from 10 a.m. until after 4 p.m., and was still fiercely arguing.
The Republican Party, led by Coolidge, made an angry demand.
"Although the death of Brian Rutman is still under investigation, we believe that it is definitely not an accidental traffic accident! I think everyone here can think about the two tricks! What I want to say is that electing a president is crucial to the United States, especially since the United States is in such a bad situation, and it also needs a presidential candidate who can really lead us forward!"
"Rutman's death is abnormal. This also shows a problem, that is, some people who lack morality are not qualified to serve as the ******* for our country! Therefore, the Republican Party believes that the federal government must terminate this presidential election and postpone it until the next year. During this period, the vice president will preside over the daily work of the country. This is fair to Ruutman, the Republican Party, and even the people of the United States!"
Coolidge made a righteous statement and gained support from many people, but the Democratic Party immediately refuted it afterwards.
Roosevelt took action himself. He made a statement to Congress.
"I admire Mr. Rutman as my most competitor. In fact, I admire him very much. I am very sad about this kind of thing, and within the Democratic Party! For various reasons, many people link President Rutman's death to our Democratic Party. I think it is extremely unfair! Although the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have been in a state of exchange of fire in recent years, it is absolutely impossible for us Democratic Party to do such an unethical thing, let alone in the public eye!"
