Chapter 63 George Wallace
"Dad, do you think he will succeed?"

Mr. Chris shook his head: "The possibility of success is very small. There are not many people in the party who support him. If there is no accident, the next governor should be Mr. John Patterson. He has already received the support of most people. .”

"Then, why are you mentioning Wallace?" Peyton was a little confused.

Can you see the future as well as I can?
Want to bet early?

Even if you place your bet in advance, you don't have to wait so early. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to wait for the election to fail?
Sending charcoal in the snow is the truth!

Mr. Chris was silent for a while, and said: "Wallace's candidacy reminded me that I should try to run for governor."

"Running for governor?"

Peyton's voice instantly increased by several decibels.

He was really surprised.

Is my father improving too fast?
How many years has it been?
He just entered the state government a few years ago and served as a congressman and chief of police. Now he is about to run for governor?

Could it be that his father was also a political genius like Nixon?

Mr. Chris nodded firmly: "Yes, running for governor, by next year's election year, I have served two terms as a state legislator and have served as the real power manager of the police department for a long time. My chances of running for office will never be better than Wallace small?"

This is true, Wallace can run for office, and Mr. Chris is fully qualified to run for office, but the success is hard to say.

"But, didn't you say that the party supports Mr. John Patterson this time?" Paton asked suspiciously.

Mr. Chris shook his head: "Oh, you are too young, the support in the party has never been fixed, once I can show more political prospects than John Patterson, more support from the public, and resources in the party would be like me leaning."

"Also, do you know why Wallace still decided to run for the election knowing that there is a high probability that he will run with him?"

Peyton shook his head, which involved some blind spots in his knowledge.

He can give pointers to the federal presidential election. After all, the inside story and development results are traceable and recorded in history.

He is like looking at the answer to do the question.

But he has absolutely no understanding of the politics of the state government than Mr. Chris.

Hmm... If Mr. Chris is a man of action, Peyton is the king of talking.

Looking at Peyton, Mr. Chris explained: "Because of attitude and impression!"

"Even if the election is unsuccessful, you have to express your attitude and leave an impression on the party and the public. At least the party must know that Wallace is eager for progress. At that time, once he has a chance to succeed in the election, he can quickly win the election in the party. support."

"And the opinions within the party are never unanimous, there are various factions, and every MP may have a different point of view."

"John Patterson is the object of support of most people, but not the object of support of all people. No matter how many friends he has, he also has enemies."

"What Wallace needs to do is to get the support of these minorities and then expand."

"His situation is similar to mine. To be precise, it is worse than mine. I have at least one influential son, but he is only from a peasant background. He has no strong supporters behind him. It is not easy to get to where he is today."

"At this point, he has entered a bottleneck. If he wants to go further, he must firmly express his attitude, gain the support of more people, and find strong supporters..."

Hearing this, Peyton gradually realized in his heart.

He knew the governor in his last life. After all, the governor is quite famous!
As long as you understand the black civil rights movement, the name must be unavoidable.

Just like Martin Luther King!
Now through the narration of Mr. Chris, the image of this person in my heart is more concrete.

Ambitious, dare to fight!
This person was elected as a representative of the Conservative Party with a firm view of apartheid.

At the starting point of the black civil rights movement, Alabama led by Martin Luther King, this person fully demonstrated his iron fist and promoted a series of bills, including not supporting blacks to have electoral votes in Alabama...

In the 60s, he led the South to uphold the racial segregation policy and fight against the federal government's civil rights movement. He became the idol of countless white people and the leader of the Conservative Party. With this, he became the most famous politician of that era.

He has great influence and is more famous than the president. He has served as the governor of Anabama three times, and his prestige spreads all over the conservative groups in the south. He can be called the uncrowned king.

The bill he promoted catered to countless whites and offended countless blacks.

His political career has suffered many assassinations, and he is more dangerous than the federal president.

Also because of his existence, Alabama is obviously the origin of the black civil rights movement, but it is the place where civil rights are the least.

It can be called Martin Luther King's lifelong enemy, and Martin Luther King will cry for it.

In 2013, Alabama even revived the bill again - black people do not have the right to vote, which is the only one in the entire federal state.

Of course, because of his high reputation, Wallace also participated in the presidential election four times, all of which failed.

After all, the black civil rights movement in other places is very lively, and countless black people are boycotting him.

Whenever he proposes to run for president, the black people will unite and carry out the Pinduoduo movement, either to slash Wallace by force, preferably to death, or to slash him on the ballot.

You stab me with a knife, hacking Wallace to death, anyway, you can't let this guy succeed.

All black people can't imagine that such a bad guy from the Conservative Party will launch a crazy plan if he becomes president. For example, no blacks in the entire federation will have votes?

It's like going back to the era of slavery, no votes, what's the difference with black slaves?
Although this possibility is only one in ten thousand, or even completely impossible, the ignorant black people don't think so much at all.

They only know that Martin Luther King is long live, and Wallace must die!

This person's ambitions are huge. After two election defeats, the presidential election did not receive support from the Democratic Party.

He announced his withdrawal from the Democratic Party, joined the third independent party, ran strongly for the election, um...failed!
But the spirit is commendable!

Jumping out of the two parties and leading the third party to run for election requires immense courage.
I take one step, one step... one step at a time to the top - that's Wallace at his best.

Except for not being elected president, his life was brilliant enough.

This person definitely displayed an incomparably stalwart and uncompromising image. From a farmer's son to a governor, he was simply a contemporary Zhao Gao, whose influence in the south surpassed that of the president.

Of course, Wallace in his later years was discouraged, and the situation was inevitable.

He abandoned segregation, got the black vote, became governor again.
