The campaign for the most powerful position in the free world isn't simply between a doddering old senile and a blow hard convicted felon. It's also, as it has been historically, between their factotums and deputies. Oddly, the principal candidates are never required by the media or anyone else to designate who the members of their regime would be. Announcements of appointments aren't made until after the election.

On the basis of the personnel employed we have some idea of those that will have important roles in government should the current regime be retained. However, there's been no word from their opponents on who is in line for these spots should they take over. It's wrong for a political party that will fill significant posts after an election to omit mention of the most likely appointees. It's even more wrong for the media to fail to demand the names and background of these candidates for publication.
