Chapter 59 Are You So Confident?
Did Nixon completely outsmart Kennedy in terms of brainpower?

It may only be possible after Kennedy opens his mind.

Lin Ran thought, so you are so confident?
From the perspective of later generations, he naturally knew that it was this televised debate that completely crushed Nixon and caused the originally balanced scale to tilt towards Kennedy.

With his staff so confident, it is no wonder that Nixon made such a decision.

Lin Ran observed the white men present. They were all listening to Finch's speech very seriously. When he mentioned that Nixon's brain overwhelmed Kennedy, many of them started laughing, but it was not a sarcastic laugh, but a laugh of approval.

As a yellow person, I would naturally feel uncomfortable in such situations. Lin Ran thought, you will cry when the results come out.

But no matter what Lin Ran thought, Finch and the Elephant Party supporters present believed it without a doubt. Finch continued:
"Now, about the campaign. As we all know, running a presidential campaign is no small feat. It requires significant resources to get our message out to Americans. We need to fund ads, organize rallies, and travel the country to visit voters.

Your donation tonight will directly support these efforts and help us spread Nixon's message of experience, stability, and prosperity.

I assure you that every dollar donated will be used efficiently and effectively.

Our campaign was a group of professionals dedicated to getting Dick Nixon elected.

We have a detailed plan, and with your help we can ensure its successful execution.

I want to emphasize that this election will be incredibly close. The latest polls show Nixon and Kennedy tied. In a race this tight, every vote and every dollar counts. Your donation tonight could be the deciding factor, tipping the balance in our favor.

In closing, let me leave you with this thought: The future of our nation hangs at stake. The decisions we make over the next four years will shape future generations. With Richard Nixon as president, I am confident we can meet any challenge and emerge stronger than before. Thank you for your time, attention, and most importantly, your support. Together, we can make Richard Nixon the next President of the United States.

After the speeches, everyone came forward with checks and dropped them into the transparent donation box in the center. Lin Ran and John Morgan prepared the same check, which was the threshold price, which was $5000.

Lin Ran observed carefully and found that most people donated between US$1 and US$5, and very few donated US$.

"It seems like $100,000 is the upper limit," Lin Ran thought. "That guy Fred also gave $5,000. It's really the T family's style. If they can donate even a penny, they'll never donate even two cents."

After the last white man put the check into the donation box, the staff came forward to take the donation box away. Robert Finch clapped his hands, and all the tables began to be removed, and the sofas were moved to both sides of the hall.

A soft jazz accompaniment began to play.

The white men around were full of anticipation.

Lin Ran asked in a low voice: "What link is so mysterious?"

John Morgan was also a little nervous: "I don't know, I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it.

Four years ago, during the presidential election, I was still preparing for the Olympics. How could I possibly relax at an event like this?

"Pa~Pa~" As Robert clapped his hands, all the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out, leaving only a few weak wall lamps casting dim light and shadows.

There was a strange sense of tension in the air, and whispers gradually replaced the previous laughter.

The curtain in the center of the hall slowly opened, revealing thirty dancers in gorgeous costumes.

Wearing sequined tops and fringed skirts, they moved with a light and rhythmic air, while the background music shifted from jazz to a more energetic rock beat.

The dancers' figures swayed in the dim light, and the tassels moved with their dance steps, reflecting flickering spots of light, as if turning the previous banquet hall into a temporary stage.

"There are rooms on the second floor. I hope you all have fun." Although the lights were dim, Lin Ran could still feel the blonde hair, blue eyes and big breasts of these dancers, like the sweet and greasy desserts popular in America.

The women wore less and less clothes until they were left with only a few thin pieces of cloth.

Some guests were invited to join in the dancing, the men took off their coats, the women kicked off their high heels, and the atmosphere became relaxed and lively, with laughter and applause.

Seeing John Morgan about to charge forward, Lin Ran quickly stopped him and asked, "Is there going to be any problem?"

John Morgan looked puzzled: "What's the problem?"

Lin Ran asked, "Like if I get pregnant and ask you to pay child support?"

John Morgan was speechless and said, "Brother, each of the thirty people here paid at least $5,000. Do you know what $5,000 means? These dancers are all girls who just turned 18, okay?

If something goes wrong, would the Elephant Party still dare to hold such a fundraising dinner? In all the years of the Elephant Party, I have never heard of such a thing happening."

Lin Ran thought about it and realized that it was true. It was 1960 now. Where would there be so many Mi Tu? It was also unimaginable in that era to deliberately get a celebrity pregnant and then cut the man with a knife.

On the one hand, the status of women has not been improved. On the other hand, it was not until 1975 that America established the Child Support Enforcement Program, which strengthened the enforcement of unmarried fathers' support obligations. In addition, the popularization of DNA testing has improved the accuracy of determining parent-child relationships, making it easier for women to prove the paternity of celebrities in court and thus claim support.

Therefore, Lin Ran's worries are completely unnecessary in this era.

"No, you haven't been here before, right? How do you know?"

"My friend told me."

The whole performance undoubtedly added a lot of wildness and freedom to the dinner.

Lin Ran doesn't even need to go out and look for dancers himself, these dancers will automatically come and look for guests.

Because there happened to be one dancer paired with one guest.

Compared to being chosen, Lin Ran still prefers to choose by himself. At least he can choose something that better suits his aesthetic taste.

So when he woke up in his room on the second floor of the United Alliance Club the next day, Lin Ran sighed that sex and violence were indeed the best ways to relieve stress.

After I got the door, my tense nerves finally relaxed and I felt like relaxing.

"So Randolph, are we going to switch to Kennedy?"

asked John Morgan in his Rolls-Royce after breakfast.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Lin Ran felt that the other party's attitude towards him was much more friendly. Although they were friends before, it was more like a partnership. Now it was developing in the direction of good friends.

Lin Ran shook his head:

"I can't make a judgment, I really don't understand your American politics.

But were Kennedy's campaign fundraisers this wild?"
