Here is a suggestion on how to win the 2020 Presidential race, and throw the Republican nominee ( be it Trump or anyone else if he is in the slammer at that point) into chaos. It would also be a perfect way to counter the multiple bombardment of lies and untruths at whoever is at the top of the Dem ticket.
As soon as the Dems choose their nominee, during the run up to the election, the nominee needs to start naming their Cabinet before the election. This allows for 1. Back up to whatever issue is presented to the nominee “ my choice for so and so will give you all the details you need on ...” so the Pres nominee won’t have to get bogged down in say Green New Deal.. let the Secretary take the incoming with facts to fire back with while the nominee moves onto his agenda easier 2. It will make the Republican nominee name THEIR counterpart, (which could be quite entertaining). 3. It gets each base group excited if they are more one issue focused voters….Lead an army of intelligent cabinet members to help in all aspects of the campaign…from Sunday morning shows where they can sell their idea of jobs, environment, education as part of the “ team” . 4. Name a new cabinet position.. Secretary of the Environment and Climate Change. ..( Perhaps Al Gore or Jerry Brown or someone to motivate the Green crowd to swamp the polls in Nov).
By running as a Team with the nominee as the head of the Team, you are now basically presenting an alternative government with functioning heads to the public as an alternative to the circus that will be presented on the daily news shows up to the election from the current administration 4th string of nobodies.
“ This is my team, this is how we will solve these issues, here are their credentials in advance, you will hear our vision over the next months in detail….Our team looks forward to debating the issues that are important to the American people with Trump’s team.
If Trump is still in office and running, this will prevent him from constantly dodging issues by changing subjects and throwing the ball in another direction… his Secretary will have to debate the Dem choice.
Trump is ruthless and will throw everything at the Dem nominee. Be ready with an army of skilled and qualified soldiers to counter attack by surprise and in force… make him chose his new team in chaos and on the spot as the press hounds him “ who would be in your new Cabinet”. Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh still haven’t been given officials positions. Ann Coulter is off the happy list now. It would be quite a moment if he were forced to announce his whole new cabinet in a surprise Dem announcement. The Media would be forced to get both Secretaries of whatever on TV to discuss policies on the Sunday shows. Drag his ideas into the talk shows for deep dissection with a counter view right there. Make the media do it’s job instead of running after his balls. He doesn’t need a dog. The press runs wherever he throws them a days treat. Throw a new surprise treat into a cage and trap him and the press …...a fully announced Cabinet. ready to discuss important issues with the Trump Team’s counters.
