Chapter 242 If You Really Like Martin

"We're not going to tell them what the goddamn earth is like, Jeff! We're going to get these old guys to support you, donate their pensions, pensions, and donate them to your campaign, you know? There's so much money you need to spend, and now we can't even cover the basic costs of setting up an election PAC!" Tommy interrupted Jeff.

Jeff was puzzled: "Aside from campaign advertisements and printed leaflets, what else do you need to spend money on? Last year, when Zach ran for the election, he placed a 30-second advertisement on the TV station and distributed campaign leaflets. It probably cost less than 500 yuan." .”

"Do you think commercials are about buying a 30-second commercial on a TV station, letting your family sit in the living room and entertain yourself, bragging about being on TV? No, unless you can't even win the party's primary election and just announce your resignation." Election, otherwise as long as you are still in the election, your TV campaign advertisements and local talk shows will not stop. The cost is not calculated by the second or the time slot, but by the month. At least one month can make the voters who watch TV pay attention to you. It takes at least two months before they are willing to listen to what you want to say, and it takes at least three months before they can consider whether you are the one they need." Tommy pointed vigorously with his fingers. Jeff's Chest:
"Then, all the big billboards in this area, and all the major newspapers and magazines will have your picture. At the same time, you need a professional stylist to help you design and make it easier for them to generate votes when you are fighting for votes from different groups. Intimacy hairstyles, more suitable clothes, you need an etiquette assistant to remind you what to do when you gather with voters, so as not to make them feel impolite, or be caught by your opponents and slander you as a Arrogant bastard, you need an assistant to remind you what to do today, even your four children plus your wife to accompany you to various occasions, social etiquette, etc., etc., these expenses need donations Come support."

Jeff, who was obviously taller than Tommy for a long time, was forced by Tommy to retreat step by step: "So, these bills have to be paid by veterans for me? Even the money spent by my wife and children?"

"Those veterans can't afford that much money, but at least the amount should allow you to set up political action and campaign action committees. Only with your political action committee can we go for more donations." Tommy from Jeff's He took out the cigarette case from his coat pocket, shook out one, bit it in his mouth and said.

Jeff asked inexplicably, "Why was this committee established?"

"Because the United States "Federal Election Law" stipulates that individuals and organizations can not contribute more than 1000 yuan to each candidate, but if you have your political action committee, the upper limit will become 5000 yuan. This law is convenient. Those big benefactors rarely find some heads to send money for them. For example, if he wants to donate [-] yuan, he only needs to donate to your committee in the name of [-] reliable relatives, instead of risking more money. Find a hundred employees who may leak the secrets at any time to donate to you." Tommy lit the cigarette and returned the cigarette case and lighter to Jeff.

"Wait a minute, why is the veteran willing to donate the money to me?" Jeff put away his cigarettes and thought of another question.

Tommy puffed out a puff of smoke: "Because of this special election, the main contestants played the race card. Cuban immigrants in District No. 18 have accounted for 45% of the total population. Do you know what this concept is? It means that if Cubans support a certain One candidate, that candidate can almost be said to win, but veterans will not like this kind of person. In the 70s and [-]s, Cubans often hijacked American airliners. Every rescue operation was carried out by soldiers. Will veterans who have seen Cuban terrorists kill their comrades feel good about Cuban immigrants? Will they donate to a politician who supports those hijackers and forgets about the military exploits? Of course not, and the top three chances of being elected are all For women, the army believes in the supremacy of the strong, and for women, in the army, there is no fucking experience of being strong, only the experience of being raped."

"But you are different. Your father was a soldier, and you were a soldier. As long as you pack up your image and let those rude old bastards who are willing to treat you as their own give some money to support you, it shouldn't be a problem."

Jeff looked at Tommy with a embarrassed face, and said in a low voice: "...I...I don't want to cheat everyone's money, and I can't...I mean, I have never helped those veterans, and I have never helped those veterans before. I thought about telling them the truth about the world.”

"You can tell them what you can do for them after you are successfully elected, or you can ask what they need you to do. For example, some of their veterans who live in nursing homes will say to you, Jeff, I hope the elderly There are more young and beautiful female nurses in the hospital, and there are also alcoholic veterans who say to you, Jeff, I hope the bar will give us a discounted price for those who have shed blood for the country. All you have to do is tell them to take money to support You, when you get elected, send all the beautiful Cuban girls to nursing homes for them to pick, and you're going to be in Congress trying to get the country to open veterans bars for veterans, that's not cheating, Jamie, it's a deal, like you're giving customers It’s like fixing the pipes, they pay you and you fix the pipes for them, that’s fair.” Tommy smiled and changed his tone to Jeff in a softer tone:
"You are a kind man, Jeff. After you are elected, you can help countless people discover the truth. Before you get in front of countless people, the rules of the game are like this. You have to accept donations from people to go further. If you feel Sorry, just tell yourself that after you are elected, you can work hard to give back to those who have helped you."

Jeff looked at the two friends on the sofa in the living room in the distance, Zach and Alan. He obviously heard the conversation between him and Tommy just now. He asked the two friends, "What do you think I should do?"

"I think what Tommy said makes sense. I didn't donate any money last year, so...failed, and I didn't even remember my name." Zach, who signed up for the election last year, said.

Allen thought for a while, and cleverly gave an idea: "If you feel guilty, you can repair the pipes for free after the election is over. Repairing pipes is very expensive, right?"

"That's right! For everyone who donates, I can repair their pipes for free." Hearing what his friend said, Jeff's eyes lit up and he said happily.

Tommy sighed, put his arms around Jeff's shoulders, and lowered his voice: "That's a question to be considered after being elected. You can let it go for now. What do you think of Martin?"

"The kids love hearing him tell jokes, I mean, he's pretty good." Jeff turned to look at the dining room, where Martin was telling jokes at the table, making the four children laugh out loud.

Tommy also looked at Martin, looking at the warm scene and said softly: "Very well, if you really like him, you must remember what I said next, so that Martin can continue to be your campaign manager , but if you misremember some key questions, I guess he will blame you for being queued up at the police station to have his ass fucked, how to choose, choose yourself."
