Uma ungumbusi wezwe, uyinto enkulu, ebalulekile.
Izifiso zakho zingathatha amandla omthetho. Ukushaywa kwethini ipeni vula noma vala izikoleukusiza noma ukulimaza izimboni ezinkulu futhi, ezimeni ezibandakanya ukujeziswa kwenkunzi, inqume ukuthi umuntu uphila noma uyafa.
Umbusi owina ukhetho esifundeni esikhulu, njengokuthi, eCalifornia, eTexas noma eFlorida, unamandla kakhulu futhi angase aqiniseke nakakhulu ngobuhlakani babo namandla abo kwezombusazwe. (Ubani ozobasebenzisa?)
Ngokungangabazeki, iWashington iyakucelanjengoba kwenzeka kumbusi waseFlorida osanda kukhethwa kabusha, uRon DeSantis, owathi ngokusemthethweni, wangena ngokunganaki umncintiswano kamongameli weRiphabhulikhi ngoLwesithathu ngesimemezelo esingesihle ekusakazweni bukhoma kwe-Twitter.
Njengokungathi kwakusohlelweni, uDeSantis wafunda isifundo ezinye izicukuthwane ezasheshe zasiqonda: Naphezu kokuzihlonipha okukhulu, akukho nhlobo njengokungenela umongameli.
Futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, yonke inkazimulo abaye bayiveza ekhaya ayithembisi impumelelo uma sebenqamule imingcele beyofuna i-White House.
“Kuyisipiliyoni esiphakeme kakhulu esingafani nezinye kwezombusazwe,” kusho uDon Sipple, owayesebenza emkhankasweni wokhetho kabusha kaHulumeni waseCalifornia ngaleso sikhathi uPete Wilson owawina ngo-1994 futhi. wahlulwa ngo-1996 kumongameli. “Ukubhekisiswa, ukukhuliswa kwamaphutha. Isivivinyo sokuhlushwa.”
UDave Carney wavuma. Wasiza ukuqondisa umsebenzi ka-Rick Perry njengombusi osenesikhathi eside kunabo bonke emlandweni waseTexas futhi wahlupheka ngenxa yokwehluleka kwakhe. Ibhidi ye-White House yango-2012.
“Akuqhubeki kanzima,” kusho uCarney. “Akukhona nje ukuthatha ibalazwe uliphindaphinde kabili noma ukuliphinda kathathu noma ukuliphinda kane. Kuyi-tempo ehlukile. Futhi yisethi ehlukile yezinkinga” esimweni nesifunda.
Akukho kulokhu okuzophakamisa ukuthi uDeSantis akakwazi noma ngeke aqokwe yiRiphabhulikhi ngo-2024, noma aqhubeke nokuba ngumongameli wezwe wama-47.
Ukhubekile ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, ekhombisa eyakhe ukungabi nolwazi ngenqubomgomo yangaphandle futhi encika ngobudlova nakakhulu ekunyanyeni kwakhe thola i-Disneyomunye wabaqashi abakhulu nababalulekile baseFlorida.
Ukuziphatha kabi kukaDeSantis kususe okuningi okucwebezelayo ngoNovemba Ukunqoba kwamaphoyinti angu-19 kabusha futhi yakhuthaza amanye amaRiphabhulikhi ukuthi ajoyine umjaho we-GOP futhi angenele ohamba phambili, owayengumongameli uTrump.
Okubaluleke nakakhulu, ukuhlasela kukaDeSantis ezifundazweni zokuvota kusenesikhathi e-Iowa naseNew Hampshire – kanye nokulindela ukungibona, ukuzwa-mina, ukungithinta-thinta kwabavoti lapho – kwembule umuntu ongenele ukhetho onamakhono omphakathi we-hermit kanye ne-charisma ibhokisi elimanzi lekhadibhodi.
Sekushiwo lokho, wonke amathemba kamongameli adlula okungenani isiqeshana esisodwa esinzima emkhankasweni wakhe. Labo abaphumelelayo bafunda kokuhlangenwe nakho, balungise futhi bathuthuke – futhi bangenzi iphutha impumelelo yabo yangaphambili ngokungaphezu kokufanele.
Ngisho nezwe elinjengeCalifornia, ikhaya laso cishe abantu abayizigidi ezingu-40 futhi umnotho wezwe wesihlanu (noma wesine, kuye ngokuthi ubani omkholelwayo), awukho esimweni esingesihle esizweni sisonke. Eqinisweni, njengoba uWilson afakazela, isethi yekhono edingekayo ukuze uwine ihhovisi lezwe lonke lapha kanye namanye ama-behemoth afana neFlorida – ikakhulukazi amandla okuphakamisa ithani lemali ukukhokhela ukukhangisa kwe-TV odongeni kuya odongeni – akuyona insizakalo enhle ngokuzenzakalelayo kwenye indawo.
Lokhu kunjalo ikakhulukazi ezifundazweni ezinabantu abambalwa kakhulu ezibekwe ngaphambili ekhalendeni lezepolitiki.
“Imali ibaluleke kakhulu,” kusho uCarney, osebenza ngaphandle kweNew Hampshire, “nezikhangiso ezinhle ze-TV. Umlayezo omuhle, ukusebenza okuhle kwedijithali. ”
Kodwa, waqhubeka wathi, “awukwazi nje ukwenza umcimbi owodwa esifundazweni futhi uhambe,” ngendlela umuntu ozongenela ukhetho lokuphatha angase angene edolobheni isikhathi eside ngokwanele ukuze akhiphe isamba semali futhi enze izindaba zehora lesi-6 ezimpondweni. . “Kufanele utshale isikhathi esiseqophelweni eliphezulu nabantu.”
Cabanga ngokugijimela umongameli njengohlobo lokujaha izintaba, indlela yakhona egcwele zonke izinhlobo zezithiyo.
Imithetho ehlukene esifundeni ngasinye eqoqa izithunywa. Imithetho ehlukene yokungena evotini. Abantu abehlukene bezepolitiki abadinga ukunakekelwa nokunakwa. Futhi, okungenani, ukukhathazeka kwasendaweni kanye nezici zamasiko ezingakhubeka kalula labo abafika bengakaziwa.
“Kunemibono ehlukene ekhona emqhudelwaneni kamongameli ongayitholi emqhudelwaneni wombuso,” kusho uSipple.
E-Missouri, ngokwesibonelo, lapho asebenze khona imikhankaso eminingi, ukuphinyiselwa kwendawo kubaluleke kakhulu kubantu abathile.
“Labo abasezindaweni zasemaphandleni ezingaphandle bakholelwa ukuthi kufanele kube yi-‘Missou-rah,’” kuchaza uSipple. Kwezinye izindawo, izakhamuzi “zikholelwa ukuthi kufanele kube ‘uMissour-ee.’ Futhi bazokwehlisela isaphulelo uma wenza iphutha.”
Futhi maye kumakhandidethi avakashela i-Nevada, esinye sezifunda ezibalulekile zokuvota kusenesikhathi, futhi atshele izethameli ukuthi zikujabulele kangakanani ukuba se-Ne-VAH-duh.
Impumelelo yomunye umbusi waseTexas iyafundisa.
UGeorge W. Bush wayengeyena nje umuntu othanda ukudla umkhankaso womuntu oyedwa, wachitha iminyaka eminingi – esebenza isikhathi eside futhi ekhuthele kakhulu kunoPerry, uWilson noma uDeSantis – ehlakulela abalingani ezweni lonke futhi ebeka isisekelo sokugijima kwakhe komongameli we-2000 ekugcineni. (Uzalo lwakhe lwezombangazwe nesibongo sakhe esidumile asizange silimaze.)
Sipple, owasiza uBush ukuthi anqobe ithemu yakhe yokuqala njengo Umbusi waseTexas ngo-1994yathi okuwukuphela kwento eyenziwa impumelelo esizweni esikhulu “ikuvumela ukuba uqhudelane ngezinga eliphakeme ongakaze ulenze ngaphambili.”
Noma ukukubeka ngendlela uDeSantis, isihlabani se-baseball yasekolishi e-Yale, angase asijabulele: Ukuwina i-landslide eFlorida kufana nokuba yinto esezingeni lika-triple-A kumaligi amancane e-baseball. Kuyamangaza. Kodwa awukakhombisi ukuthi ungashaya iligi enkulu.
Leso isivivinyo esibhekene neDeSantis emasontweni nasezinyangeni ezizayo.
