Subtitle of this chapter: There is a problem with posture

"250 votes?! Do you think it's possible?"

"This... seems to be a little bit possible. Don't forget the election in 1912!"

In fact, the 250-vote electoral vote gap is not unprecedented in previous presidential elections before 1920.

For example, Washington, the God-Slaying Axe, had no opponents, and was undisputedly awarded all electoral votes to become the first commander of the United States.

For example, in 1920, "Wilson, who everyone hates", received 435 of 531 electoral votes in the presidential election in 1912, while his opponent, Roosevelt, of the Progressive Party, received only 88 electoral votes.

The Democratic Party won the big victory that time because its opponent Republican Party split. In fact, the Republican Party split around 1910 is really related to anarchists.

In 1901, William McKinley, the 25th president of the United States and the Republican Party, was shot and injured by anarchist radicals and died. He became the third president to be assassinated in American history, and made Vice President Theodore Roosevelt the youngest president in American history at the age of 42.

Roosevelt did a good job in both terms, so many people in the party supported him to break the convention since Washington and become the president of the United States for the third time. However, he not only refused the nomination, but instead supported his good friend William Howard Taft to become the 27th president.

However, Taft, a politician who is more like a justice, lacks a little personal charm and decisive ability, and even with the respect of the president, he can't deal with the professional politicians in the party. He put the Republican Party in great chaos. (Author's note: Taft later really became the Supreme Court justice.)

At this time, Old Roosevelt felt that he should come out to clean up the chaos without hesitation, so he not only criticized his old friend many times in public, but also organized the Third Party, the Progressive Party to participate in the 1912 presidential election. In this way, the division of the Republican Party allowed the Democrats to take advantage of the situation.

"No, no, no, that time is different from now."

"What's the difference? Last time it was a Republican split, this time it was a Democratic split. Isn't it a perfect reversal?"

"You are right about the Democratic Party split, but you forget one thing. I'll ask you, do you know who Mr. Warren-gamaliel-harding is?"

"Warren Harding? Of course I know, it's not the Republican candidate this time."

"I mean you know who he was before?"

"This... I remembered it. The newspaper said that he was the current federal senator. He had failed to run for Ohio Governor, and before... I couldn't remember it."

"Yes, if Harding doesn't come out to run for president, who knows which one it is? Even those who have not heard of his name in the Republican Party have been there. There is really no one to push the Republican Party this time, so he moved it out."

"Well, compared to the Republican candidate Mr. Hughes in 1916, and former President Roosevelt, he seems to be...well, he is indeed far behind in fame."

"And you haven't read the introduction in the newspaper? During the six years in the Senate, Harding's work was dull and had no excellence. He neither promoted any important proposals nor achieved any results worth reviewing. No one knew what he had done. Is he a coward?"

"That's right. And what's the 'porch campaign' he's been doing? He's never left his hometown of Marion, Ohio. How many people in the United States have seen this guy?"

"And his opponent, Mr. James Cox, is different. Don't forget that he defeated Mr. Harding and became the governor of Ohio. If you don't say you win this time, can you lose as many as 250 votes?"

"So you mean..."

"What I mean is that Chinese is making a fool!"

"Well, after you say this, he really looks like a nerd."

Well, is this reaction the right one? It is to make you think of me as a fool or a big fool!

The fool in everyone's eyes was silent on his face... Well, in fact, under the form of a nerd, his expression was just dumb and stupid, looking like he was confused about the world.

At this time, the Chinese nerd standing on a high place saw a few beautiful...or unbeautiful figures also walked towards here. I thought I heard the news and saw a lively female student from the Arts and Sciences Academy. One of them was naturally Miss Helen Brown.

Alas, now it is a turbulent time, so I won’t attract bees and butterflies.

Hi, but even if I don’t attract bees and butterflies, I’m going to pretend.

Before everyone could react, he said to Mr. McCall very honestly, "As for the bet..."

"I can't agree to your conditions, so I won't continue to interact with Miss Helen Brown!"

Master Yuan, who looked like he didn't understand "what love is in the world", shouted: "First of all, as an honest chinese gentleman, I dare to swear that I have never had any thoughts about Miss Helen Brown that transcend friendship."

"Secondly, as a modern person who believes in liberalism, I want to say that Mr. McCall, your way of pursuing love is too reactionary! It's too backward!! It's too male-chauvinism!!!"

I really miss Qiong Yao's body!

"As a friend of yours, what I want to say is..." Yuan Yan suddenly slowed down her tone and said softly: "John, if you really love her, you wouldn't have made such a bet..."

"Because I love her, let go.do-you-understand?!"

In Chinese, you only need to understand one word, but in English, you have to do-you-understand.

When Miss Helen Brown and her classmates came over, they just heard Master Yuan’s words. The expressions on these young intellectual women were a little wrong.

You know, "Because you love her, let go." This kind of thing is too lethal for literary young women who have never drunk spiritual chicken soup.

Of course, our Master Yuan has no intention or time to flirt with girls now. He raised his right hand, opened his five fingers, and said proudly: "So, my bet is also 5,000 US dollars!"

The whole place was silent, and even John was stunned...

“Pickup.”

"Master Ball, what are you doing? Didn't you tell me..."

"Host, this system is not talking about this, but about your posture..."

"Position?! My posture is very profound. The Big Bang of Uchichi and the Cambrian outbreak of Uchichi. Even Edo Forty-eight Hands know it. And don't you have the searcher?"

"No, no, no, this system is talking about your current p-o-s-e!"

My pose?! I just opened my right hand and my left hand naturally behind my back, standing majestic on the high ground of the university campus...

Oh, why does this pose look so familiar?

"Master Ball, I have to say that you reminded me this time, I was negligent!"

Yuan Yanshu felt that his pose was very disharmonious now, so he immediately put away the other four fingers on his right hand, leaving only his index finger, and changed from "Red Dynasty Taizu'er" to "Uncle Sam'er" and pointed directly, shouting: "Mr. John McCall, i-want-your-answer..." (Note 1)

"Do you bet?"
