Chapter 317 Smith can say no

"You shouldn't have said those words to him like that."

Neil Bush glanced at Davis Brown, who was leaving with a blank expression. Abel's father-in-law wanted to chase him.

But Abel suddenly called him: "Neil."

"Huh?" Neil Bush stopped and looked at Davis Brown who was walking towards another group of people.

"Next year my father will run for the House of Representatives. How about you running for Texas governor?"

After hearing his words, Neil Shrub slowly took back his steps.

George's younger brother gradually shifted his gaze from Davis Brown in the distance to Abel.

"What are you talking about? Did I hear you correctly?" Neil Bush turned around and looked at Abel.

It's a matter of one's own self-interest. At this moment, little Laura's father didn't say he was going to follow Davis Brown.

"What I'm saying is, how about you come and run for Texas gubernatorial election next year?" Abel smiled.

The current governor of Texas is Rick Perry.

Rick Perry was originally George's deputy.

The other governors, county chiefs, and mayors in the United States are all the same as the generals.

When the commander-in-chief dies during his term of office or is unable to perform his duties due to other factors, his deputy will take over directly.

Former Texas Governor George resigned as governor of Texas in December last year due to his successful election as governor.

Rick Perry, his deputy, naturally became the new governor of Texas.

However, Rick Perry can only serve for two years, and the new governor will be decided in the midterm elections at the end of next year.

Looking at Abel, Neil Bush whispered:

"George, and my father. They all think highly of Rick Perry, and they all think I'm a bit young."

"How are you young? Rick Perry is only four years older than you." Abel said softly:

"As for Herbert and George, I think if you can stand up, they will change their minds."

Neil Bush fell silent.

The third bushman's mind was spinning rapidly at the moment, thinking about the possibility of his ascending to the throne.

As for why Davis Brown cares about him, Herbert and Abel have to worry about it.

There is no doubt that Rick Perry is a formidable opponent.

This is a native Texas farmer's son.

Except there is no dad with a wide circle of friends like Alex.

Many of Rick Perry's previous experiences were very similar to Alexander's.

The difference is that Alexander has always stayed on the farm.

Perry was elected to the Texas House of Representatives fifteen years ago. When he ran for director of the Texas Farm Bureau in 1991, he defeated Hightower, a member of the Donkey Party, and served until 1998.

In 1999, he successfully ran for lieutenant governor and became George's deputy. After George resigned, he successfully became the real governor.

Except for the fact that he changed his family once and changed from a donkey party to an elephant party, he was criticized by his hometown people.

It can be said that Rick Perry has had a smooth journey.

In Texas, the base camp of the Elephant Party.

Rick Perry has a deep foundation and a very strong foundation within the party and among voters.

Basically, it can be said that if the shrubs don't come out, let him choose.

There's a good chance Rick Perry will win next year because the bush is supporting him.

I thought about it for a long time, maybe a few minutes.

Neil Bush smiled bitterly: "I don't think this is good. My father and George may support me, but that will force Rick Perry to stay away from us."

Regardless of whether it is an elephant or a donkey, the interior is always lined with hills.

Only occasionally does unity emerge when faced with an enemy in an election.

But when it comes to internal competition for interests, there is no room for mercy.

Rick Perry relied on the support of Bush to rise to the top in the past, and it is true that he is now Bush's No. 1 horse in Texas.

But he already has his own basic camp.

If Bush came out to steal his crown now, Rick Perry would definitely join other factions within the Elephant Party.

Although Shrub is now very powerful in the Xiang Party, it has never been a dominant force.

If Neil Bush really comes out to rob, even if Herbert and George support him.

That would also directly deprive the Shrub family of a general and create a new enemy within the party.

And even if this is the case, Neil Bush may not be able to win over Rick Perry.

Before that, the four brothers of the Shrub family had a clear position.

The older eldest brother and the second child work in business, while the younger ones, the third child and the fourth child, do business.

Seeing Neil Bush's performance, Abel laughed.

Abel actually knew about the situation of the Elephant Party in Texas.

When he suddenly said this to Neil Bush tonight, it was not out of pure grudge.

He had other considerations.

Now that he saw that Neil Shrub was self-aware, Abel said softly: "Then, how about changing to another place?"

"Um?"

"It doesn't have to be in Texas. There are 50 states in the United States, and 36 states will re-elect governors next year. Excluding Texas, there are 35 other states."

Neil Bush whispered: "You mean to run in other states?"

"Of course." Abel looked at his father-in-law, "Jeb and George can be the governors of Florida and Texas at the same time. Then why can't you and Jeb be the governor of the United States together?"

Neil Bush was finally interested, and he no longer cared about Davis Brown.

He walked up to Abel and looked at Abel with bright eyes.

"you mean?"

"California or New York." Abel said softly, "Especially California. What do you think?"

"California," Neil Bush thought.

Abel was smiling next to him, and little Laura snuggled up to him sweetly.

Her future husband and father are now discussing this important matter closely.

For little Laura, who comes from a family like the bush, nothing makes her feel happier than this.

When this scene fell into the eyes of Alexander next to him, the old father felt very emotional.

I lament that my young son is now trying to influence the governor's election whether he talks or not.

The key is that when he says something like this, a person from a family like Neil Shrub can think hard about it.

This means that at least Neil Shrub thinks that what Abel said is possible.

Otherwise, if it were just what an ordinary young man or rich man said, Neil Bush would never be like this.

"California would not be as conservative as other states."

Neil Bush thought for a while, shook his head slightly and said, "California is too blue."

There are red states and blue states in the United States. Red states support the Elephant Party, and blue states support the Donkey Party.

In the past, California has actually always been dark red.

Because in the past, California, which had excellent geographical and climatic conditions, was very similar to Texas.

Mainly based on the large farmer economy, some industries did not appear until the 1920s and 1930s.

It gradually developed later, and the situation began to change dramatically in the 1970s and 1980s.

At that time, California's Silicon Valley, which was dominated by Internet technology and semiconductor technology, began to rise.

After that, California became the place attracting the most foreign immigrants in the United States.

As the number of immigrants increased, gradually starting in the early 1990s, red states began to turn blue.

By now, California is a solid blue state.

Although the Xiang Party is not without its supporters, it is not as strong as it is in red states.

The Shrub Family has no foundation there. To go there, they have to deal with the local Xiang Party, make peace, and negotiate with each other.

The time was so tight that Neil Bush felt it was impossible to complete it.
