Trump path to the top is simple but only works because he has the courage follow it
Coach is Right ^ | 1/20/16 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

A recent issue of Bottom Line.com included an article by Robert L. Dilenschneider titled: 10 Ways to Get Noticed. It is a simple plan to get to the top of whatever contest you are in. It is the plan Donald Trump is following.

These are Dilenschneider’s suggested steps.

1. Make your message as clear as possible—even if that means sacrificing detail. It’s tempting to elaborate on everything you can do each time you run an ad or meet someone who seems interested. Don’t. People are more likely to remember what you say if you hone it down to a concise message.

2. Provide examples that support your message. Examples don’t just help make your point…they also help your audience remember it. People tend to recall stories long after they have forgotten facts and figures.

3. Consider your audience. As you hone your message, remember that your goal isn’t to come up with something that will resonate with everyone…… Otherwise your message mark might miss the.

4. Repeat your message—constantly. By tomorrow most people will have forgotten what you told them today. Say it again—in a fresh way, if possible.

5. Establish yourself as an expert on something. Choose a specific topic within your sector that you know very well, then spread the word that you are the person to trust on this topic…

6. Keep control of your message. There might come a time when someone attempts to wrest control of your message away from you. A company competing with yours might spread negative rumors about you…

“Spread your message in writing, rather than verbally, as much as possible. Send an e-mail. Circulate a memo. Write an article for a local paper. Words in print are more difficult for opponents to distort.

I've been on the fence so far. I sent money to Cruz when he ran for senate and have respected him for moving into beltway society and sticking to his pledge. Trump impressed me with forcing the media to talk about the topics they prefer to hide, but I just can't get comfortable with the idea of him possibly making two, or even three Supreme Court nominations.

His pledge to support and even increase ethanol subsidies is troubling too.

Am I reading too much into campaign rhetoric?

Trump is constantly in the news. I visit other websites and Trump is all over them. Other candidates would kill for that kind of exposure. You would have to live deep in a coal mine to not know who Trump is.

FYI, Kevin, I would include more of your blog posts in my daily Make America Great Again ping to 200+ freepers if you would take the time to clean up the typography before posting. This one had a compelling headline, so it's in on the strength of that today.
