Most political junkies tend that way. Issues, details, seventeen and a half point plans.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">The media wants a Super Pol, slick , can dance on both sides of an issue and can lie with deftness. Those they praise to the heavens.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">Voters? They want someone either someone who cares about them, someone who might stop things or do a few things or someone who is better than the alternative. They choose on non verbal communication from the candidate. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So Trump went after the slice everyone had written off or ignored in a classic MEET THE LARGEST UNMET NEED marketing 101 analysis.\u00a0 The numbers were there, but it required a different approach than consultant honey pot tv ad buys and run to the idiot mushy middle with intense pandering to minorities against the Professional Panderers Inc.<\/p>\n<p>He did rallies. He went so old school the other side had no defense.<\/p>\n<p>He did twitter and insult comedy. He went so new school the other side had no defense.<\/p>\n<p>He won.<\/p>\n<p>Now he has a start up getting funded and off the ground.\u00a0 He has a DNC-Media onslaught underway.<\/p>\n<p>A possible strategy he could do is to take not a presidential model , but a corporate one for his role in the Presidency.<\/p>\n<p>I believe he will do a Lee Iacocca when he turned Chrysler around. He was goal setter and\u00a0Salesman in Chief.<\/p>\n<p>He was the face of the new Chrysler. He did commercials, he was the cheerleader, he testified to congress. He was Chrysler.<\/p>\n<p>I expect Trump will turn the goals over to Pence, Ryan , McConnell, Giuliani and others, let Bannon keep the results on track and Priebus\u00a0keep the people on track and Trump will handle the Image war with an offensive instead of defense.<\/p>\n<p>Rallies. You Tube speeches. Wall Building contests, factory openings.\u00a0Oil wells gushing. America coming back.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be Huge, folks.<\/p>\n<p>If he gets trapped on the media defensive, we have seen that show before.<\/p>\n<p><em>I am now convinced he intends to be the Lee Iacocca for America on the turnaround. He sets the goals, gets the people and then maintains shareholder (voter)\u00a0 enthusiasm.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let me know if you see it this way or differently.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1910 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cannonball-run-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"cannonball-run-720x405\" width=\"665\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cannonball-run-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cannonball-run-720x405-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cannonball-run-720x405-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cannonball-run-720x405-250x141.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-1\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-login.php\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"1908\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"user\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-thumbs-up\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"pld-dislike-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-login.php\" class=\"pld-dislike-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"1908\" data-trigger-type=\"dislike\" data-restriction=\"user\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-thumbs-down\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-dislike-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\"><\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>On 11\/16\/2016 I posted a Ricochet piece on how Trump might run his Administration.
