USen. UMarco Rubio. (Ifoto: Getty Images) Phaya emva kwiinkungu zembali, kwakude kudala nkqu nangamaxesha agutyungelwe yimvelaphi ye-Great Bush-Clinton Dynastic Wars, kwakukho imeme yakudala eyayibizwa ngokuba yimizimba emibini yokumkani. Njengoko i-meme yayinayo, abalawuli abanamandla abafani nabanye, abafumana umzimba omnye kuphela. Kumkani zimbini zazo: a umzimba wendalo , ikwayingxowa efanayo yenyama umntu ngamnye anayo, kunye a umzimba wezopolitiko , emele amandla okulawula, kwaye ngokusisiseko ayifi -ngomzuzu wokufa kwenkosi endala, iba lilungu lomzimba wenkosi entsha.
Malunga neminyaka engama-500 eyadlulayo, igqwetha layichaza ngolu hlobo: umzimba wezopolitiko… ongabonakaliyo okanye ongaphathwanga… [wenzelwe ukuqondisa abantu. La mabhunga mabini abandakanyiwe emntwini omnye. ] Umzimba wendalo. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba le mizimba mibini ibotshiwe, inyama negazi lokumkani zikhethekile. Impilo yayo yimpilo yommandla. Ukuba ayiguli, okanye ayifakwanga kakuhle, okanye ayinakho ukuvelisa uhlobo olululo lwendlalifa, ziindaba ezimbi kuye wonke umntu-oko kuthetha ukuba ukubonisa umzimba wakhe esidlangalaleni, ukuqinisekisa abanye bethu ukuba ayizizo ezo zinto, yinxalenye yokumkani ingcaciso yomsebenzi.
Ngaba nje inkolelo yexesha eliphakathi, kunene?
Ewe nohayi. Ngokuqinisekileyo ziinkolelo, kodwa ayisiyiyo yamaxesha aphakathi-kuba amaMelika asacinga ngale ndlela malunga neenkokheli zethu. Siye sasila isigama sexesha elidala, kodwa sisaxhalabele imizimba yoomongameli kwaye sinokuba ngoomongameli ngaphezulu kakhulu kunokwenza naluphi na uhlobo lwengqiqo. Bukela iveki yokugubungela unyulo kwaye uzibuze: yimalini malunga nomgaqo-nkqubo, kwaye ingakanani, ngokucacileyo okanye ngokucacileyo, malunga nemizimba?
Kwangoko kule veki, uDonald Trump wagqiba kwelokuba, kubo bonke abagqatswa beRiphabhlikhi, uMarco Rubio ngoyena ubila kakhulu. URubio unokuba ngoyena mncinci, kodwa andikaze ndibone ukubila komntu ngoluhlobo. Eli yayingeloxesha lokuqala uTrump ezixakekisa ngokubila kukaSenator waseFlorida. Ngu Ubalo lwePolitico , UTrump uphawule ngesihloko ubuncinci izihlandlo ezisibhozo kwiiveki ezisixhenxe ezidlulileyo. Yintoni ebonakala ngathi kuthi sonke kukuphazamiseka okunomdla, kuDonald Trump, umba obaluleke kakhulu kwiriphabliki:
[H] yingxaki noRubio: xa ubila kakhulu… ngoku cinga ngayo. Unaye uPutin - uhleli ngapha. Kwaye ulinde ukubulala abantu baseMelika abaziziyatha kuba ebesitshabalalisa nje kabuhlungu. Uyafika ke, kungene umfo, kwaye ubemanzi ebila. ‘Molo, molo, ndicela amanzi?’
Nantsi iTrump kwakhona kwi ukumisa iphulo e Iowa:
Cinga ngoPutin. Icookie entle, akunjalo? Ndicinga [ngo] Rubio kwaye ndiyatsho, kufuneka upholile. Kuya kufuneka upholile ngokwenene. Kwaye uRubio uza kumhlangabeza kwaye angene, kwaye uyabila-ukubila kuyaphuma. Kwaye u-Putin uzakumjonga athi, 'Yintoni le ingalunganga kule ndoda?'
USen Marco Rubio uthetha ngelixa uDonald Trump ejonge ngexesha leNgxoxo kaMongameli we-CNBC ngo-Okthobha 28, 2015 eBoulder, eColorado. (UJustin Sullivan / imifanekiso kaFetty) Kuyalingwa ukubhala oku njengomnye umzekelo kaDonald Trump onguDonald Trump. Kodwa olu hlobo lokuthetha komzimba aluqhelekanga kuye, kwaye alunto yodwa kwiqela leRiphabhlikhi. Kwaye kubalulekile kuthi, kubavoti, nokuba asikulungelanga ukukuvuma oko.
Kubalulekile, umzekelo, ukuba uBarack Obama asazise sonke ngo-2008 ukuba ujongeka kanjani engenasiphelo . Ibalulekile into yokuba uBill Clinton, ngo-1992, ajonge ubu-pudgy kunye no-mongameli (okanye mhlawumbi abuye nje?) Kuburhulumente bakhe iibhutsi ezimfutshane zokubaleka . Kubalulekile ukuba uMichael Dukakis aye ngokuzimela kwaye ayalele kwi-1988 ye-photo-op kwi-a Itanki yeAbrams -Kwaye yagqibela ngokufika isikwere ngaphandle kwefeckless kwaye ibuthathaka.

Ngendlela efanayo, kubalulekile ukuba uRick Perry, esandula ukuphuma kwingxoxo-mpikiswano yango-2012, wamkela esona siqatha, nerdiest iiglasi kwimarike; ukuba u-Gov. Jeb Bush uvumile Ukutya kwePaleo ; kwaye oko le yenye yeefoto ekwabelwana ngazo ngokubanzi kuRhulumente uChris Christie.
Ibalulekile kuba sikholelwa ekubeni ibalulekile: kuba thina, uluntu oluvotayo, sisagcinwe nzulu kwimbono yokuba ubunkokheli kunye nokuziphatha komzimba kuyahambelana. Bambalwa kuthi abathetha ngayo ngokucacileyo, kodwa iimfuno zethu kwiindaba nakumajelo asekuhlaleni bayazinika. Kwinxalenye enkulu, siphatha ubunkokeli njengomgangatho womzimba. Ewe, sifuna umongameli osempilweni; ukuba konke kunokuphetshwa, asifuni ukuya kulwaphulo lukazwelonke lokutshintsha umphathi-ntloko ozibamba ngenxa yesifo sentliziyo. Kodwa umdla wethu kwimibutho kamongameli uhamba ngaphaya kombuzo wezempilo; impilo iyodwa ayinakucacisa ukuba kutheni sijonga nje imizimba yeenkokheli zethu ngendlela esenza ngayo. Endaweni yoko, kufanele ukuba sijonge kwindawo apho ezopolitiko zidibana khona neenkolelo, kwaye apho intetho yethu malunga nedemokhrasi ingqubana nokukrokra okungenasidemokhrasi ukuba umzimba kamongameli ngokomgangatho awufani nomzimba oqhelekileyo, kwaye iimfuno zethu zixhomekeke kwimeko yawo. ngendlela efihlakeleyo nengathandekiyo.
Oomongameli abanobuqili banesakhono sokusebenzisa olu hlobo lokucinga-kwaye ukuba ufuna obunye ubungqina bokuba bukhona, qaphela nje ukuba lingakanani ixesha kunye nomzamo abezopolitiko kunye nabaphetheyo abawubekayo ekulawuleni umfanekiso wemizimba yabo. UGeorge W. Bush wondla amajelo eendaba ukutya okuthe rhoqo kweevidiyo zokucoca ibrashi, kwaye waqinisekisa ukuba sonke siyazi ukuba angahambisana noLance Armstrong ngebhayisekile. I-ofisi yeendaba kaRonald Reagan yakha yabiza i-CBS News ukubabulela ngengxelo egxeka kakhulu umongameli-kuba imifanekiso ehamba kunye nengxelo ibonakalisa uReagan esenza izinto njengokuphakamisa iintsimbi nokwamkela itotshi yeOlimpiki kwimbaleki. UJohn F. Kennedy wayehlala ubukhulu becala kubongameli bakhe kwiintlungu ezikhubazekileyo, kodwa wagcina irejimeni yakhe yeentlungu zangaphantsi esongelwe ngokuqinileyo ukukhusela umfanekiso wakhe wobutsha. UFranklin D. Roosevelt wayesazi ukuba ubomi bakhe bezopolitiko buza kuphela ukuba abantu abaninzi baseMelika bambona ehamba ngesitulo esinamavili. (Kwaye ukuba ucinga ukuba sikhanyiselwe ngakumbi kwezi ntsuku, liphi ixesha lokugqibela ukuba umntu wezopolitiko okhubazekileyo aqwalaselwe nzulu ngumongameli?) UTeddy Roosevelt waphakama waduma njenge cowboy, umzingeli, igqala lomlo kwaye wenza umlo wamanqindi kwaye ubugcisa bemfazwe ngaphakathi kweNdlu yeWhite House.
Kuyo yonke le minyaka yokulungiswa komzimba kamongameli, uluntu lwaseMelika kunye nemithombo yeendaba ziye zavela ngolwimi olunzulu apho iinkokeli zisixelela khona ngezopolitiko zazo ngokusinika umbono wemizimba yazo. Igalufa ayiyongozi eyoyikisayo-indlela yezopolitiko efana no-Obama, ohlala ehlaselwa ngabagxeki bakhe njengomntu wangaphandle ongayiqondiyo iMelika, ukuzibonakalisa njengomnye wethu. Ukubaleka, ukuzilolonga okuthandayo kukaClinton, kukuzihlaziya ngokuziphucula ngendlela uninzi lwabantu baseMelika abanokuqonda ngayo. Ukuba ucoca ibrashi, setha iiposti zocingo, okanye ukuma ngehashe, usekhaya kuluhlu-kwaye, ngokugweba ukusuka eBush naseReagan, uthambekele kwintetho yesitayile seenkomo malunga nokuzithemba kunye nenkululeko.

Kwaye xa sisiba nolwazi ngolu lwimi, ukufikelela kwalo, ukuxhaphaka, kunye namandla okucenga, sinokwenza enye yezinto ezimbini. Okokuqala, singayithatha njengesihloko sokunika ingxelo esinzulu kunye nohlalutyo-hayi kuba unxibelelwano phakathi kwemibutho kamongameli kunye nomzimba wezopolitiko luyinyani ngokukodwa, kodwa ngenxa yedemokhrasi, ezo ngcinga uluntu luthatha njengezokwenyani zithatha uhlobo lwazo lobomi . Kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba unike ingxelo ngezopolitiko zomzimba ngendlela enobukrelekrele nengabalulekanga engazinikeli kwimifanekiso yokukhanya kweefoto zeenkomo. Umzekelo, ngaba ibar ephezulu yabagqatswa abatyebe kakhulu (jonga uChristie, uChris) yindlela yokuvuza abapolitiki abasebenza ngokuzikhathalela, kwaye ekugqibeleni inyathelo elilungileyo kwimpilo yoluntu-okanye kukuhanahanisa kwilizwe elisekulo inkokeli yehlabathi ekutyebeni kakhulu? Abapolitiki ngombala bahamba njani ngolwimi lomzimba olwaluphuhliswe ikakhulu ngabapolitiki abamhlophe-kwaye indlela abathandwa ngayo abantu abamnyama aboyikisayo inyanzela amandla ka-Obama okuveza umsindo esidlangalaleni, ukuya kwinqanaba lokuba uMguquleli Womsindo ka-Obama aphindaphinde Isitshixo kunye ne-Peele bit ? Ngaba linyathelo eliya ekulinganeni ukuba umfazi onje ngoHillary Clinton ngoku uyinxalenye yale ncoko malunga nokuba umzimba kamongameli ujongeka kanjani- okanye ngaba uHillary sele eza kufakwa kwinqanaba elifanayo lokuphononongwa okungaphaya okujolise kwimizimba yabasetyhini kumaqweqwe ezinto ezininzi veki nganye?
Ukubuza ezo ntlobo zemibuzo yenye yeendlela zokuzibandakanya kunye nezopolitiko zomzimba ngaphandle kokubanika inyani enkulu. Kodwa kukho indlela yesibini: ukukhomba, kunye nokutyhala yonke imithombo yeendaba ukubonisa, ukuba asinyuli imizimba kwaphela. Oku kuya kuthetha ukunyanzelisa ukuba umntu kamongameli ngokwenene yincam yesigqeba esikhulu sokulawula i-iceberg, kwaye nokuba, nokuba zithini na iimpawu zaloo mntu, umongameli yinxalenye encinci nje yento esiyivotelayo. Xa sivotela umongameli, sikhetha inethiwekhi yabanikeli, yezibabalo ezifanele ukuhlawulwa kwaye ngenxa, yabangaphakathi kwiqela, labacebisi bexesha elide kunye nabahlobo abathembekileyo, iitanki zokucinga ozithandayo kunye nemibono yomgaqo-nkqubo wezilwanyana, iingcali zobungcali kunye nolawulo oludala abafuna iiofisi ezinkulu nezincinci, kwaye nabo bonke abahlali bexesha elizayo kulawulo oluphezulu apho amandla kamongameli engagqibelelanga. Kwaye xa silungisa kwiimpawu zemibutho kamongameli, siyazikhumbula zonke iindlela apho eyona nto siyivotelayo ingenakubonwa kwaye ingenamzimba, kwaye ingenakuthathwa kumfanekiso konke konke.
