When the Duncan family was "going to war" with the current federal government, Mr. Truman's personal campaign office was quietly established.

In fact, in every presidential general election, each party will not only nominate a certain person to participate in the election, they may nominate two or three, or four or five.

Except for the core candidates, everyone else is running with them.

Does it have to be useless to run with you?

No, this idea is wrong.

Accompanying runners is still very useful, because accompanying runners can provide voters with more choices.

For example, some voters do not like the core candidates of the Progressive Party and the core candidates of the Conservative Party. If there are no other more roles, he may abstain from voting, or fill in randomly.

After all, some companies still have some small rewards for employees who successfully deliver ballots to encourage people to vote.

Of course, these are not how kind the companies are, but that they need to provide more "ammunition" to the forces they support.

Some people don't like the two core candidates, so what if there is an extra candidate at this time?

Maybe there will be ones he likes, maybe there won't be.

If it's the former, the ticket has a clear political stance...

For example, the Committee of the Progressive Party decided to accompany the runners this year with three people, including actors, lawyers, and teachers.

When people vote for other people because they don't like them, their votes are considered "valid partisan votes."

To put it simply, voters voted for candidates with the same political affiliation. When these accompanying candidates gradually fell behind and were eliminated in the competition unit, they would vote out of feelings or other reasons. To other candidates who don't like themselves, but also belong to the same political camp.

These accompanying runners will also say the same. If they lose the "race" in the staged competition, they will publicly express that they hope that everyone can continue to support a certain candidate belonging to the same party, saying that this is a kind of spiritual inheritance. .

This is why even though many people are very clear that the accompanying runners will not be able to run to the end, the party still selects these people to participate in the election during the general election.

They need a wider range of power in their hands to cater to the preferences of the people, and finally transfer all power to those who need it, and win in one fell swoop.

Of course, these accompanying runners will not actually get too many resource tilts. After all, their tasks are staged, and they will not be dissatisfied if they lose.

In particular, some people who do not belong to the core political circle are proud to be accompanying runners, and some people are willing to participate in accompanying running relatively at their own expense, such as big stars.

This can effectively expand their influence, and at the same time gain the friendship of a party, which is a very cost-effective thing.

In the eyes of many, Mr. Truman may also be an accompanying runner, although it was not he himself or his campaign office that announced the news, but the Progressive Party committee.

There are still many people who are not very optimistic about Mr. Truman. He has too many shadows of the current president. When the president announces his resignation or announces that he will not continue to seek re-election, it will also affect Mr. Truman's campaign.

There are also some friends of his in the Progressive party who think he can keep the campaign for eight years

Because Mr. President has not been re-elected, once the Progressive Party candidate wins the election, he will definitely seek re-election to the maximum extent.

Even if the president does not perform well, the Progressive Party will ensure that he can be re-elected, which is related to the development of the party.

But Mr Truman ultimately decided, on Lynch's advice, to run straight into the election.

The campaign office is in the administrative center not too far from the presidential palace, and people divide Bu Paine into three districts.

Administrative center, financial center and commercial center are not official definitions, but people's spontaneous behavior, and three most representative streets are selected to represent the three centers.

At this time in the brand new office, Mr. Truman's emotions are very delicate.

At least in his own cognition, he shouldn't be so quick, or he never thought that he would have such an opportunity to run for that position.

So this feeling is amazing!

He patted the chairs in the living room, which were arranged by Lynch, including furniture and decoration.

It doesn't look very luxurious here, but the white walls are very conspicuous. Mr. Truman walked over, touched the wall, and showed some surprised expressions, "This is... paper?"

He turned to look at Lynch. He thought it was paint or white cement, or lime, or something else, but he didn't expect that the wall was actually paper.

He had never heard of white wallpaper, and Lynch patted the wall with a smile, "There are ten floors in total. Sometimes we need to record something casually. Inspiration always comes so fast, but it takes a long time." Also very fast."

"We shouldn't waste the inspiration that God gave us, so...", he smiled, "These are all things that can be written and drawn, and then we will organize them in a unified way."

"And there are no other people here, so the decoration style doesn't matter."

Mr. Truman nodded. "That's very good. What's that word?"

As the two continued to tour the campaign office, Lynch said the word pragmatism Mr. Truman wanted.

A new trend of thought is being born in society, and this trend of thought is still very weak and has just sprouted.

After experiencing the Great Depression and alternating between the two parties, people began to reflect.

The result of reflection is the bursting out of various ideas. Among the many ideas, one is growing quietly, which is pragmatism!

▽ This is not the case.

What is pragmatism?

In fact, to put it simply and popularly, it is when we do something, what benefits can it bring us.

If it brings enough benefits, then we will do it.

If it doesn't bring much benefit, or no benefit at all, we won't do it.

Of course, there are still many different ideas in pragmatism, and there are blind optimists, which reflect the spiritual symbol of the Federation!

These people think that as long as they do it themselves, the future ending will definitely be good. Even if it is not good enough now, when they finish doing it, the ending may turn out to be better.

Some people point out that this is not an offshoot of pragmatism, but it is, and while this Pollyanna looks stupid as hell, the core of it remains the same, which is "what would it do me if I did" .

There is also a kind of rationalism, they will take out some data or other relatively rational things to analyze before doing things, so as to make sure that their ultimate interests will not change.

Some people also regard this kind of intellectual pragmatism as "selfish attention", because in the development process of these people looking at a matter, all reference factors are "whether it is beneficial to themselves".

This is typical selfishness, but it is also an offshoot of pragmatism.

In addition, there are many factions, and they are constantly growing. Of course, some people think that the so-called pragmatism is not much different from capitalism, because they are all after interests in the end!

It’s not quite right to say that. Although both are highly utilitarian, there are enough differences.

People's cognition of pragmatism may be a little bit biased, but this is not important. What is important is that it already exists and is developing rapidly.

Next is the meeting room, several small meeting rooms, a large toilet and some relatively private rooms.

According to the research of some scholars and experts, sometimes being in a toilet or a small environment can help people's thinking ability.

There is also a not-so-small kitchen and corresponding kitchen utensils. Sometimes people work overtime, and people don’t want to miss lunch or dinner. The most successful careers in Bupain are not those who are active in the financial center, but cook!

Maybe you don't need a stockbroker, but you can definitely get in touch with a cook.

After visiting the entire office, Mr. Truman was very satisfied. He didn't like the overly exaggerated medieval style, and it was very good as it is now.

"Where are you going to find office members?" He looked at Lynch and asked.

Lynch was a little puzzled, "You should do this by yourself, you are the core of this team, not me."

Mr. Truman shook his head slightly, "I'm sure I have a lot of things to do recently, so you have to help me share some, for example..." He looked around, turned his eyes around the house, and finally returned to the forest. Qi's body, "...running for the head of the office!"

This is a very important position. It can be said that Mr. Truman's trust in Lynch at this time is complete without the slightest reservation.

The head of the campaign office... This position is often reserved for the core of certain campaign teams, and these people are either former senators, former presidents, etc., or core members of certain powerful political families.

Lynch had nothing to do with it, he refused the job again without hesitation~lightnovelpub.net~ but mentioned some well-known campaign teams in the federation.

In order to succeed in the federal election, in addition to having enough money to operate, the most important thing is to have a strong enough campaign team.

There is a federal team that helped seven presidents win the election, and Lynch's target is them.

Of course, the cost of these people is not low.

Almost all former senators in this team have their networks and influence in federal politics beyond doubt.

Please move them, let alone the cost of more than 4 million, and give them the greatest power, and all of this is worth it.

After listening to Lynch's introduction, Mr. Truman hesitated, "Will there be a lot of financial pressure?"

He felt that the expenses of the campaign team took up so much money, and once it was fully rolled out, the expenses might be horribly high.

After all, he is still a "novice"!
