【纸牌屋】S01E11(02)寻找替补州长

hints:

Aaron Burr

Calhoun

Frank

Russo

There's no historical precedent.
Aaron Burr ran for Governor, Calhoun for the Senate.
200 years ago. One shot a man in a duel, the other believed in slavery. Is that really the sort of company we wanna share, Frank?
Mr. President, we stand losing control of an important swing state, our majority in the house and quite possibly your second term in office. Preventing all of that may require unconventional measures.
It would look like I'm pushing him out. Or worse... that he's abandoning the administration.
You make a joint statement. You say he won't resign unless he wins.
If he loses, he stays on as Vice President.
No one could accuse either of you of disloyalty to the other.
Did Jim come to you with this?
No. It's entirely my idea.
I wouldn't dream of speaking to the Vice President without passing it by you first. I think he'd take it as an affront, like I'm trying to get rid of him.
Honestly, sir, I think he might be more interested than you imagine.
Why is that?
Well, I hesitate to bring this up,but when he was campaigning for Russo, he spoke quite freely about you, sir.
Tell me.

历史上没有先例。
阿伦·伯尔就曾竞选过州长，卡尔霍恩也曾竞选过参议员。
那都是两百年前的事了。一个曾在决斗中杀人，另一个支持奴隶制。我们真要跟这种人相比吗，弗兰克？
总统先生 我们可能要失去一个重要的摇摆州和议会多数党席位甚至是您的连任，要扭转局势就得采取非常手段。
别人会以为是我容不下他，或者更糟以为他是抛弃了我们。
你们可以发布一份联合声明，就说除非竞选获胜，否则他不会辞职。而如果他输掉选举，就继续任副总统。这样就没人会指责你们背叛彼此了。
这是吉姆的主意吗？
不，这完全是我的想法。
在得到您的首肯之前，我绝不会向副总统提及此事。
我想他会很受冒犯好像我想摆脱他似的。老实说，先生，我倒觉得他对这事会比您想的感兴趣得多。
为什么？
我本来不想提的，但在帮罗素宣传期间，他曾对您颇有微词，先生。
说说看。
