Billionaire businessman Donald Trump extended his lead in the first prominent post-debate poll released by NBC News Sunday.

Post debate NBC poll: Trump 29% Carson 14% Carly 11% Jeb 8% Cruz 7% Rubio 7% Rand 3% Christie 3% Walker 3% Kasich 2% http://t.co/PywxlCgGfk

Trump was also viewed as “most presidential” among the GOP candidates. NBC News reported:

More than a third of Republican voters say that Carly Fiorina performed best in the Wednesday night debate on CNN. But debate performances don’t translate into vote preference overnight, and Donald Trump maintains his position at the top of the Republican pack, according to the latest NBC News online survey conducted by SurveyMonkey from Wednesday through Friday.

When the candidates’ negative performance percentages are subtracted from their positive percentages, Fiorina emerges the clear winner, with a positive 34, whereas Trump nets a positive 2 among Republican voters who watched or followed the debate coverage. Marco Rubio and Ben Carson also received positive reviews from Republican voters who followed the debate, with net scores of 8 and 5. Rand Paul fared poorly, scoring a negative 13.

She’s clearly the flavor of the week. I don’t think her record will hold up to scrutiny, but we’ll see. I already can’t stand to watch her dour puss.

President Trump’s Cabinet

Jefferson Sessions as Vice President

Department of State, (return INS.) – Donald Rumsfeld
Department of Justice - Trey Gowdy (Suggested by The Donald)
Department of Treasury, (includes former Homeland Security, (Customs) – Carl Icahn (Offered and Accepted)
Department of War, (change the name back, include VA function.) – Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes legitimate functions only of former Transportation, Homeland Security (Border Patrol,) and Energy Departments) – Gov. Palin

Department of Labor and Commerce – ELIMINATE
Department of Health and Human Services - ELIMINATE
Department of Homeland Security – ELIMINATE
Department of Education - ELIMINATE
Department of Energy – ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development – ELIMINATE
Department of Veterans Affairs - ELIMINATE
Department of Agriculture – ELIMINATE
Department of Transportation - ELIMINATE

This proposed model has the President directly managing six subordinates which is optimal.

In non-cabinet level jobs

Sheriff Clarke should be FBI Director
Michelle Bachman as IRS Commissioner under Secretary Carl Icahn in Treasury
Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons as Undersecretary of War - Navy Branch.
LTC Allen West as Undersecretary of War – Army Branch.
Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson would be great as President Trumps Co-Press Secretaries.

“you never want to tip your hand to the opposition”

He could easily relate it to a business deal that you don’t want others to steal.

I love the way he uses business terms - calling the Iran bill a contract, and calling everything deals.

“Foreign Policy is all about agenda and general strategy. It is NOT about memorizing names of terrorist leaders.”

He made a good point in the debate about how we have a lot of people in congress who know all the names, and look at the mess they made of it!

“I’d like to see Trump hire John Bolton!”

Bolton would be a great pick!

Trump, Cruz and Carson combined are at 50 percent. If you add Fiorina, who is a GOPe plant, but is pretending to be an outsider, that’s 61 percent of Republicans who want a non-GOPe nominee. Could possibly add Walker supporters to that mix.

Ben Ferguson in Memphis is just as bad. He lied throughout Friday’s show.

I loved GW on election day, but the Rats started beating him down, and he NEVER fought back. The Donald won’t hold still for any Rat crap. Anyone who attacks him had better have a nice basket handy, because they’ll have their butt handed to them pretty quickly.

There’s always a learning curve, even among the Rats and media types, but I repeat myself; Trump should only have to do it a few times before the libs wise up and straighten up. Or maybe they never will learn.

To quote that great scholar and philosopher Forrest Gump, “My Mama sez, Stupid is as stupid does.”
