America's Road to Wealth

The banquet process is halfway through.

The Zippertons left Abel and Peggy with smiles.

As soon as they left, many people surrounded them, all of them were important members of the donkey party zipper forces who appeared with them tonight.

Inside the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party, there are actually many factions. Because these two are big parties, there are a lot of honest guests and members, and the relationship of interests and political philosophy between them is very complicated.

For example, within the Donkey Party, there are four major factions, namely Progressives, Liberals, Moderates, and Conservatives.

For example, the Progressive faction, this faction has some shadows of Master Luo in it. So for a long time, this faction has basically been unable to produce big names, and its influence can only be limited to the localities and the donkey party...

Besides the conservative faction, this faction is in the donkey party, so it can be said that it is the elephant in the donkey party!

For a long period of time before and after the war, this special faction once controlled the two houses for a long time, because they could indeed influence both the donkey party and the elephant party to a certain extent.

So that period of time was also the most harmonious time for the donkey and the elephant, and all kinds of struggles should be done at one point.

It's just that in the 1990s, after the sudden fall of the Red Bear.

The rulers of the world's dominant country no longer have to worry about the fact that internal fighting will affect their external combat effectiveness, so disputes began, and this faction went into decline.

It also completely announced the end of the donkey and elephant honeymoon period.

The remaining two are moderates and liberals. At the same time, these two factions have many similarities and are often combined together.

The early Zipperton was regarded by the moderates as a representative of young people. After he got a firm seat on the stage, he gradually became the leader of the liberal faction, and now he is the leader of both factions, and he can be said to be the leader of the liberal faction.

But, in the United States, asses and elephants are mixed, factions and political theories are mostly irrelevant in the eyes of these people.

As long as they can get them to the top, don't talk about faction positions.

Even if they were asked to jump suddenly from elephant to donkey, or from donkey to elephant, no one would refuse.

Because in the eyes of these people, factions and ideas are nothing more than their tools, and what they want to show voters.

This thing is mutable, and voters give them whatever they want to see.

For them, the only constant is eternal interests.

"His mouth is very tight, and it is difficult to detect his intentions from his mouth."

In small circles.

Zipper looked at the internal members who surrounded him, shook his head directly, and said softly.

After he spoke, the two middle-aged women in the small circle, Elena Cagan and Sonia Sotomayor, showed disappointed expressions on their faces.

The two of them are the most promising and qualified to be the substitutes for the judge in the circle of Zidden.

Especially Sonia Sotomayor.

First of all, she is a Hispanic, and this identity gives her an advantage, because so far no Hispanic has ever become a judge.

In America, where ZZZQ is increasingly important, this is one of her greatest strengths.

Secondly, it was in Zipperton's hands that she successfully became a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City.

This is an important springboard to the Supreme Court.

"...But I think." At this time, Sirani joined in in a low voice: "Apart from the Xiangdang, your biggest competitor this time is probably Morgenthau."

Many others in the inner circle, including Zipperton, couldn't help but nod their heads.

For indeed it was evident that Abe's companion to this dinner tonight was Peggy Morgenthau.

Her retired grandfather, Robert Morgenthau, and two great uncles were there tonight, chatting and laughing with Abel.

The point is that besides Robert Morgenthau, the other two old Morgenthaus are fully qualified to be important substitutes for the judge.

Even in terms of seniority, they have an advantage over Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Cagan.

Besides, Robert Morgenthau, an important member of the Hydra Gang, just stepped down from the position of Manhattan District Attorney.

It's not like I'm going to retire and stop working.

With his qualifications and reputation, he is also fully qualified to participate in this competition.

Combined with the good relationship between the Morgenthau family and Abel, Abel is indeed likely to push the Morgenthau people to the top.

Because sometimes, which state you were born in does not mean that this person is the representative of the power of that state.

Like Sandra Day O'Connor, one of the current nine justices, she is the first female justice in the history of the United States, and she is also a Texan.

But since she started college, she has not been in Texas, but has gone to school and worked in the Boston area, and her position was even supported by the Boston consortium.

Can you say she is from Texas?

cannot.

So even if the Morgenthau family is from New York, as long as they are willing to be puppets of the Texans, the Texans are willing to support them.

Then Morgenthau hoped to become the representative of the Texas consortium in the Supreme Court.

After all, only benefits are eternal.

"Think about it, is there anything we can do to impress him?" Zipperton suddenly said softly.

No need for him to explain in detail, everyone knows what he means.

In fact, it has gradually disappeared in this circle, and Albert Gore, who rarely attended, suddenly said softly: "Maybe we can consider starting with Neil Shrub? Anyway, he should also consider more for the donkey party now. "

"That's a way." Sirani agreed.

"What else?" Zipperton looked at everyone again.

"I... I have two judge assistants by my side. They are very young, very sensible, and..." Sonia Sotomayor looked at the crowd with an expression that you understand, "And they are very charm."

Her proposal immediately received good comments from many people in the small circle.

Who is the wind commentator in this area, it is really very that, similar to their leader Zipperton.

But at this moment, Zipperton looked at Abel, who was talking softly with Peggy, with a smile on his face.

The former president shook his head. He didn't think that the two judge assistants of Sonia Sotomayor could arouse Abel Smith's interest.

Yes, they are indeed young and beautiful, and their conversation and academic qualifications are impeccable. One is from Yale University Law School, and the other is an outstanding graduate of Stanford University Law School.

But they have all graduated for several years, and they have been in their circle for several years.

Over the past few years, they have lost a lot. These lost things, Zipperton thought, were just some of Abe Smith's favorite things.

Zipperton, who has always felt similar to Abel in a certain way, thinks that they are not attractive to Abel at all.

"Yes, they are excellent. But look at the one next to him now. The youngest graduate in the history of Yale Law School, the youngest doctor..."

Mr. Datong said softly.

Sonia Sotomayor was no fool, and knew the subtext of Ziztenden right away.

She chooses to keep her mouth shut.

Indeed, compared with Peggy Morgenthau, she also knew that her two assistants were a bit bad.

In her current circle, there is almost no one who has not played with her two assistants, both men and women.

Sonia Sotomayor had also heard about the guy who liked to play, but never played with others, and reportedly hated it.

Otherwise, he would probably have a good chat with Zipperton.

Sonia Sotomayor thought so.

"Maybe there are other people? Besides Sonia's two assistants." Elena Cagan, another person in the Zipperton collective justice system, couldn't help but whispered.

Everyone thinks about it, it is not difficult for them to find young and beautiful people.

Several people tried to think hard.

But after thinking about it, everyone present almost gave up finding a role in their own small circle to attract Abel Smith.

Because... this is indeed a difficult problem for their circle.

Those who can be trusted by their circle and used to attract Abe Smith are almost the same as the two assistants of Sonia Sotomayor.

The better ones, the ones that could be used to entice Abe Smith with potential success, were not recognized by their circle.

Who told them that this circle played too outrageously in a certain way.

It really fits their faction, their position and name in the donkey party - liberals.

And it’s more serious neoliberalism. Seed oil, of course, is omnipotent.

"Ahem..."

Zipperton also realized this, and he coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention.

"In this regard, we can indeed continue to think about it. After all, we can find someone."

"However, we can take a multi-pronged approach and think of multiple ways together. First of all, since Morgenthau is very promising, then we can completely establish a good relationship with them first, and guarantee that even if we can't get it, we can get it as much as possible." Keep some leverage."

"Secondly, many people in the elephant party probably have ideas. So you can also consider contacting them."

"In the end, our focus is actually on the future. By the way, I found a very good new guy recently. He is now the state senator from Illinois. I think he can be developed. Well, he is black, and I Very optimistic about his future."

With Zizhang's words, they in the small circle also began to change the topic to other aspects.

As time went by, tonight's American Arts and Charity Ball came to an end.

From the perspective of Anna Wintour, the real host and organizer, there is no doubt that tonight was very successful, too successful.

From Abel's point of view, tonight was passable.

A soft conversation with Peggy Morgenthau put him in a good mood for some reason.

There is a sense of relief after discussing difficult problems with the beautiful female school bully in school when I was young and studying before rebirth.

After the banquet, he even drove her home. Well, in fact, the whole convoy delivered it together, and he hadn't touched the steering wheel for almost two years.

When they arrived at the stone castle of the Morgenthau family, the three Mogenthau brothers who returned one step ahead of the two were naturally waiting at the door.

As Zipperton and his coterie thought.

Abel did consider letting the Morgenthau family represent his interests in the Supreme Court.

Because after thinking about it, he found that the people in the judiciary that he really trusted seemed to be New Yorker Morgenthau.

Moreover, if Morgenthau takes the position, he can also get the support and acquiescence from the Morgan family, and the difficulty will become very low.

So tonight, he didn't send Peggy back on purpose.

The conversation with the three Robert brothers is also one of his important purposes.

Of course, Mogenthau also knew what he was thinking, so even though the night was a bit late, the three old men still talked with him in the living room where there were no outsiders.

As a judicial family in New York and the East Coast, if only there could be a judge. Even if they are all old and can only live another 10 years, it can be guaranteed that Morgenthau will continue to be brilliant for a period of time in the next 20 years after they all pass away.

Just when the topic of interests came up, Peggy suddenly said goodbye and left, saying that she would go back to her room to tidy up.

Obviously, her elders were a little surprised by her reaction. The two uncles looked a little dissatisfied.

But Abel was here, and Peggy looked indifferent and indifferent again.

Of course they didn't object.

This turned into three old men who started communicating and negotiating with Abel's interests.
