What Trump did, and he did it very well, was to raise the stakes of the election and define it in his own terms. Law and order, crime in the streets, and terror. He managed to make the argument, compellingly, that these challenges were the central ones America faced and that given the failures of President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, his way of change was the only way to go.

You announce your Cabinet picks 1 or 2 a day:-)
That should suffice!
The train idea is good—a 20th Century Limited steam engine using clean coal. Painted with Trump’s name in gold painted on its side. He needs to keep his name in the news. Tweet something on every Democrat speech. More evidence of Clinton’s crimes. Do stage an event in one of the big states. Now is not the time to rest.
Trump should start to name his cabinet picks this week—pick good Republican/Tea Party people. Include women—Blacks etc... A suggested list to consider:
Attorney General—Chris Christie or Trey Gordy
Defense-— General Flynn
State-—Newt G.
Surgeon General-— Dr. Carson
Press Sec,——Laura Ingal or Sean Hanity
Homeland-— Christie or Palin
Energy——?
A name a day for the next week would keep Trump in the News.
Energy=Hamm
