Trump has a steady lead that is not losing steam. The race is his to lose.

If he actually puts in a few days with some experts from different fields, like foreign affairs, he will end up being the nominee, i think.

President Trump’s Cabinet

Jefferson Sessions as Vice President

Department of State, (return INS.) – Donald Rumsfeld
Department of Justice – Rep. Steve King
Department of Treasury, (includes former Homeland Security - Customs) – Carl Icahn (Offered and Accepted)
Department of War, (change the name back.) – Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes legitimate functions only of former Transportation, Homeland Security - Border Patrol, and Energy Departments) – Gov. Palin
Department of Health and Human Services (include the VA function.) – Dr. Ben Carson

Department of Labor and Commerce – ELIMINATE
Department of Homeland Security – ELIMINATE
Department of Education – ELIMINATE as proposed by The Donald, 9/23/25 at a Columbia, SC Town Hall with Sen. Tim Scott.
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.

In Congress lets have Trey Gowdy as Speaker of the House,
and Ted Cruz as Senate Majority Leader.

If he (Jeb) falls below 3% he won't qualify for the next debate

FWIW, they don't use just one poll. They take an average of polls over an interval of time. Another point is look what happened when Fiorina wasn't eliblbe for the varsity stage for that second debate. No problem....the puppetmasters changed the rules.

We can be confident that the puppetmasters would change the rules for Jeb. It's become really insulting that we "little folk" don't agree with Jeb and don't even like Jeb, yet they're still trying to find a scheme to get him nominated.

The survey questioned 421 Republicans in telephone calls from Sept. 22-27 and has a margin of error of 5.5 percent.

Not even ‘voters or likely voters’?

Looking back to 2011 and the numbers were moving to Romney...similar numbers but far fewer players.

Trump has this if he can bring up his unfavorables. His opponents know his soft spots and will goad him...he usually falls for it but maybe he has learned.
