White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles says she has a plan for keeping Congress in Republican hands in next year’s midterm elections. In an interview with the online show “The Mom View,” Wiles said she hasn’t informed the president about her plan, but said it involves putting him on the road to sell to voters what he believes to be his and the Republican Congress’s policy successes.

The big question is whether more than the most dedicated Trump supporters will buy it.

One of those who claim Trump has not done as good a job as he promised is the retiring (but far from shy) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). She told Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes” that Trump has failed to keep domestic policy as his top priority. In her resignation video, Greene said the president has forsaken the MAGA base, specifically pointing to his support of the crypto and pharmaceutical industries. She also doesn’t like his saber rattling with Venezuela and what she regards as his failure to put “America first.”

As one who is also an experienced public speaker, I offer these suggestions which, based on past performance he is unlikely to accept, but which in my judgment would help achieve his goal of a continued GOP congressional majority.

There’s my “top 10” (plus one) list. You can thank me later, if you ever read it, or use any of these suggestions.
