tough sale

In this novel Senator Ryan Wicklow uses a week on Martha’s Vineyard to learn from friends and advisors about the challenges of a campaign for the presidency. Discussions about the Deep State, Media, Big Tech, Unions, Universities and a new Socialist Media Party (SMP) help Ryan make a decision. In a dramatic scene, the senator informs the editors of the New York Times, the liberal publication of the Democratic Party, about his decision to run and requests unbiased reporting. As predicted, the Senator Wicklow and his running mate, Senator Nancy DeYoung from Iowa, win in a landslide as the voters hope to end the Recession or micro-Depression in major cities caused by the Socialist government. In the process, the senator highlights China’s attempt to control the nation prior to a takeover. The new administration is very successful after only six months. One initiative in particular, the Civilian Closure Corps (CCC), is a new organization chartered to close Federal Government departments because they are unnecessary, staffed by disguised unemployment or perform a state’s function. In the end New York Times issues an apology for its liberal bias for almost two centuries. The editors realize that Wicklow’s conservative Great Reset is really working and is best for America. With tears of joy in his eyes, the new president realizes that he has accomplished the toughest sales on Earth.
