Chapter 435 The Warming Election Campaign

In fact it was the Democrats who imposed the steel seal of thought and waved the moral stick around, endorsing the domino theory that once the Soviet Union was not confronted on all fronts, it would result in the dominoes collapsing.

This is exactly what the Truman Doctrine advocates, in contrast to the Republican Party which is among the more pragmatic parties.

This is the opposite of what the Republican and Democratic parties advocate in the twenty-first century.

But McCarthy did attack the Democrats’ foreign policy on the basis of being soft on the Soviet Union with the support of the Republican Party. This has to do with the fact that the Republican Party has been in a situation where there is an isolationist atmosphere.

And this phase of the Republican Party heel favored encouraging conservatism. In addition to abandoning America’s obligations to the world, they believed in a realist approach to relations with the East, and believed that once external pressures disappeared, the Soviet camp would be dragged down by internal contradictions.

At the same time, because of the shadow of nuclear war, the Republican Party preferred to make peace with the Soviet camp and reduce the intensity of the Cold War confrontation.

Eisenhower’s eight years of conservatism was a manifestation of this idea. So much so that he was later criticized for throwing away more in eight years than he gained in World War II. The Republican Party was actually on the realist side at this time.

There was a fundamental swap between the Republicans and Democrats in the 1960s, naturally set up by a series of events. Allen Wilson felt that the defeat of Dewey, who had been favored by a slice of the current year, at the hands of Truman was a major factor that caused the Republican Party to begin to shift.

Even after Eisenhower came to power, the Republican Party began to return to realism, but the seeds had been planted, and after the Eisenhower period, the Republican Party was completely transformed into the twenty-first century in the eyes of the people.

The two big names in the current Republican establishment, one is Dewey who is about to start a debate with his opponent, he represents the eastern establishment and is also the candidate that Boston supports. And the other is Robert Taft, who just dropped out of the presidential race.

Robert Taft was a representative of the conservative wing of the Republican Party, the eldest son of former President and Supreme Judge William Howard Taft, and had been a leading opponent of Roosevelt’s New Deal. After President Roosevelt’s death, he rallied conservative forces to successfully resist the power of labor unions. In foreign policy, on the other hand, he was one of the strongest advocates of non-interventionism.

Naturally, he was also opposed to the Marshall Plan, and Dewey could have had an impact on the Marshall Plan if he had come to power, but that was still unknown, and Taft would have definitely moved against the Marshall Plan if he had come to power.

Dewey’s disadvantage was his poor popularity within the Republican Party and his cold, stereotypical, calculating image.

But after Taft successfully sniped Dewey’s opponent Stassen after a debate with him, it didn’t shake the bipedal power of Stassen and Dewey, but it did help Dewey on the side.

Now that Taft has dropped out of the race, the conservative Republican supporters it represents are beginning to turn to the Dewey campaign.

Time is still not too late, as early as possible, Dewey and Stassen’s debate, will be the first time through the radio into the thousands of households, Allen Wilson happened to be in the day of May 17th, in the Boston consulate heard through the radio, the two Republican candidates debate.

The radio broadcast of the debate between the two Republican candidates, from economic policy, foreign policy, to the direction of the United States, seems to allow people to enter the two candidates in the seat of tension.

“The current proliferation of Soviet ideas in the United States of America is rooted in the state’s failure to provide better guidance, and I’d like to say that the Communist Party of the United States of America should be outlawed immediately ……” Stassen’s voice echoed through the radio, echoing through the Boston Consulate, and, I believe, to countless American citizens. also appeared in the homes of countless American citizens.

“Uh?” Allen Wilson looked over at Wicker and asked with a puzzled look on his face, “I remember you saying that he was the Libertarian candidate? Is that not the case?”

“Consul, this is indeed surprising.” Wick, also with a questioning look on his face, explained in a surprised tone, “Senator Statham has always had a tolerant image.”

“Probably to divide Taft’s conservative supporters behind Dewey.” Alan Wilson snorted, “We all know these politicians only have the memory of a fish and will overturn their previous statements at any time. Since Taft dropped out of the race, supporters have leaned more toward Dewey, and now Stassen is forcing Dewey to take a tolerant stance by taking out even more extreme statements than Dewey, dividing Dewey’s support.”

This is not to be wondered at, British politicians are in the same boat, the whole House of Commons is similar to a zoo, one by one they are all chameleons.

Just as Alan Wilson was making unbridled mockery of the politicians, Dewey’s voice came over the radio, “You can’t shoot down an idea with a gun, can you? We have to show tangible results to prove that the Soviets are wrong, not with a simple and crude ban.”

“Banning is the tactic of dictatorships, we democracies have never made a final decision not to publish after a democratic resolution.” Alan Wilson, on his side, listening to Dewey’s cool words, explained to Wick, who was standing on the side.

“Consul, it shouldn’t be said like that, right?” Wick listened to Allen Wilson’s unbridled scoffing, “You know that politicians are elected through the public ……”

“Isn’t that more proof of the stupidity of the masses?” Alan Wilson cocked his head and said with a smile on his face, “Actually, our people understand in whose hands this country should be more appropriately placed.”

“And the role of the politicians is?” Wick looked at his top boss, still hesitant to ask the doubt in his mind.

“Their role is to promote the propagandists of our achievements.” Allen Wilson stood up with a flourish, the result of this debate was already obvious, Dewey would unsurprisingly receive the nomination of the Republican Party’s presidential candidate, which of course had to be formally announced after the Republican Party convention was held.

Both parties have taken out their candidates, and this election is beginning to move step by step in the direction of white heat.

From the current situation, the Democratic Party side of the incumbent President Truman’s election is low, it is no wonder that public opinion that the Republican Party, once the convention is held to elect a candidate, will be able to defeat Truman.

According to the news coming out of Washington, the Democratic convention and the Republican convention are both scheduled to be held in Philadelphia.

Judging from the news now, the Democrats are facing a very difficult situation indeed this time, except for the Republican Party’s implication that the war is over and making a comeback in terms of sound and fury, and most of all, the Democratic Party is split.

To make matters worse, a number of liberal Democrats had left to join Henry Wallace’s Progressive Party, and Democratic leaders feared that this would split the Truman vote considerably, thereby ceding the Northeast and Midwestern states to the Republicans.

Not to mention the fact that the white southerners, who had supported the Democrats since the Civil War, and the northern workers’ forces that Roosevelt had fought for, were not exactly aligned in their interests, and it was no wonder that many did not think highly of Truman.

“Consul, from the looks of things, the Republican comeback is a foregone conclusion, is it time to build up a friendship with the Republicans?” Still dutifully advising his top man, Wicker suggested reaching out, Taft, Dewey and others.

“Those are establishment bigwigs, we’re looking for a more grassroots figure this time.” Alan Wilson shook his head as he sniffed, “Taft is the leader of the conservative faction, his father was the president before becoming the supreme judge, and Dewey is the leader of the establishment faction elected by the eastern business and industry, it’s too sleepy to reach out, we need to look for a more grassroots figure to make a gesture of goodwill. And don’t say the Democrats are defeated until the results are in, three years ago Congressman Churchill thought the same thing at first, but we all know that the great Prime Minister Adderley currently leads the British Empire ……”

By reaching out to Dewey now, isn’t Alan Wilson instantly replacing the role of the Permanent Duke? This is absolutely not possible, as things stand now, it is not impossible to show favor to the Republican Party.

But also to consider Truman’s feelings, in case Allen Wilson instead of Chang Gong is remembered, that for him now is absolutely devastating blow.

Compared to bigwigs like Dewey and Taft, McCarthy was less partisan in his leanings. Compared to the first two, right now McCarthy is the grassroots of grassroots, with poor publicity and purely a muckraking senator.

Perfect for developing a true friendship, and Allen Wilson won’t let the other guy get away with it, and if the other guy is a friend, there might be a chance that he’ll coach the other guy to avoid the gutter.

All in all, this was the right time to start reaching out to McCarthy in a slot where the Republican Party was about to roll out a candidate.

The motivation for taking the initiative to come to the door was too obvious, but now since the Republican Party was preparing for the general election, McCarthy, as a Republican senator, would definitely help the Republican Party in the election, which was his obligation as a senator.

Just need to feel through McCarthy’s recent public trip on the line, the Northeast New England region and the Great Lakes, is the traditional support range of the Republican Party, including McCarthy, Republican senators, will certainly be in this period of time to travel around.

Allen Wilson currently need to do is wait for the rabbit, wait until McCarthy announced the electioneering trip, and then in these two places in the city waiting for McCarthy on the line.

Taking advantage of this time, Allen Wilson dealt with some diplomatic work at the consulate, in fact, it is also to participate in attending receptions, taking Pamela Mountbatten together, singing the praises of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

From this time on, Allen Wilson has begun to contact some Republicans, who let Boston would have been the traditional support of the Republican Party area.

I have to say that bringing Pamela Mountbatten is still very effective, now is not before the First World War, only a noble identity is useless, but if there is money and noble identity, that is another problem.

“My dear, I’m beginning to think that it must be easier for you to be a consul than it is for me.” Alan Wilson sighed heartily.

“Oh, would it?” Pamela Mountbatten spoke with a feigned reserve, “I’d have no room for you to play when I’ve done everything, and as a director’s woman, I can’t do that.”
