Ever since I requested tickets for a Trump rally months ago, I’ve received several surveys from the Trump campaign and the RNC.
My feedback to Trump has been that he is being way to cautious and wishy-washy. I have urged him to just be himself and ignore the consultants who want him to tone it down. I reminded him that Bill Clinton has been implicated in at least 40 murders in several well-documented books (Vince Foster was just the tip of the iceberg — you can ask Sean Hannity). Why does Trump never mention these crimes? And why won’t Trump speak out about the scourges of abortion and homosexuality? Again, ignore the timid consultants, Donald and swing for the fences!
A day or two ago, one of the surveys included the question as to whether or not Trump should announce his cabinet selections before election day. It piqued my interest because, 1) its not an unheard of tactic to motivate one’s voter base and, 2) it could be an effective way to divert the current news narrative from Donald’s uninvited fondling of women’s genitals. (When Tic Tac USA, manufacturer of Tic Tacs, publicly disavowed any connection to Trump, this may have been a clue to the Trump campaign wizards that a course correction might be in order.)
Well, lo and behold, this morning I received a survey from Trump Tower requesting suggestions for the Trump cabinet. Positions to be filled are:
- Secretary of State
- Attorney General
- Secretary of Veterans Affairs
- Secretary of Homeland Security
- Secretary of Defense
- Secretary of Treasury
- Secretary of Labor
- Secretary of Energy
- Secretary of Health and Human Services
- Chief of Staff

Of course, this being Trump World, a few clarifications are in order. For starters, Chief of Staff is not a Cabinet position, but is considered a cabinet level position, e.g., attends cabinet meetings. Second, the Cabinet secretaries for the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Interior, Housing and Urban Development, and Transportation were not included.
Maybe Donald intends to eliminate those departments, or he just doesn’t think they have any relevance in the presidential election. His entire education agenda is to eliminate Common Core, and then everything will be fine, so who needs a department? In addition, can you think of any important states who give a flip about silly things like agriculture? Me neither.
Putting those nit picky quibbles aside, Donald is making an incredibly deft move by sending out this survey to his rally attendees. If one has to fill critically important positions, what could be better than consulting the the snarling hyenas who chant “lock her up,” make dark assassination innuendos, and physically threaten reporters at the candidate’s Sieg Heil rallies? Much better than asking some elitist, know-it-all for advice.
When I fill these things out, I use a zip code from a toss up state like OH, FL, AZ, NC. I’ll just Google, say, “Ohio zip codes” and pick one.
Enjoy.
