Results of the Cabinet Matching Game

A couple weeks ago, I published a simple game for political nerds. Assuming the next president must build a cabinet from current candidates for the Republican nomination for president, how would you assign candidates to cabinet positions.

This was meant to be a fun exercise for people who spend too much time thinking about politics. Like the leaders-eat-last poll, this required hide, often dissatisfying choices. As a result, only six people completed the exercise which took up to a half hour.

Here’s the cabinet you put together, using only the top position for candidate:

** Carly Fiorina: Secretary of Commerce ** Ben Carson: Secretary of Health and Human Services ** Jeb Bush: (4-way tie) Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of State, Secretary of Interior, Secretary of Energy ** Ted Cruz: Attorney General ** Rand Paul: Secretary of Treasury ** Marco Rubio: Secretary of Energy ** Scott Walker: Secretary of Labor ** Chris Christie: Secretary of Veterans Affairs ** Mike Huckabee: Secretary of Agriculture ** Donald Trump: Secretary of Treasury ** John Kasich: Secretary of Interior ** George Pataki: Secretary of Trasnportation ** Jim Gilmore: Secretary of Housing and Urban Development ** Bobby Jindal: Secretary of Education ** Lindsey Graham: Secretary of Defense ** Rick Perry: Secretary of Homeland Security

Both Levin and Ingraham are familiar with United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) which established, thoroughly, that citizenship by birth has been the law of the land since before the Declaration of Independence and was codified by the 14th Amendment.

Fascinating Results from Leaders Eat Last Poll

August 22, 2015

This is the story of hard choices and how people resist making them. Last week’s poll asked you to watch a video by Simon Sinek before answering two, simple, two-part questions: which Republican candidate for President and Missouri Governor is most likely and least likely to eat last? I intended the poll to be hard. Not complicated, not long, but emotionally challenging. Why the Poll Was Emotionally Challenging For several weeks, I have built a case for the importance of leadership.

Who's Really Left in the GOP Field?

August 18, 2015

If you lack a unique, differentiating value, your only play is price. In business, you command the price play by being very, very big and very, very efficient. In presidential politics, you’re unique or you close up shop and go home. Commodities don’t win executive offices. Usually. Even though it’s early, only four Republican candidates for president have differentiating value propositions: ** Ben Carson ** Donald Trump ** Carly Fiorina ** Ted Cruz
