THE REPUBLICAN DREAM TEAM OF 2016 introduces an audacious concept to transform an overcrowded field of candidates into a powerhouse team to win the general election, while also offering an insightful and easy-to-use Voter's Guide. The Republican Dream Team of 2016 provides critical information about the background, experience, and viewpoints of Republican candidates on the issues that matter most to voters. It identifies what is really important to the electorate as conservatives and moderates prepare to vote in the 2016 primaries.
The Republican Dream Team of 2016 promotes and validates with research the concept of all Republican candidates running together as a comprehensive ticket to win the general election. After Republican voters select their presidential candidate through the primary process, which of the remaining candidates should be placed in the position of vice president and the fifteen cabinet posts? Can you create the unbeatable Dream Team to win the general election?
This book focuses on how candidates can build a consensus platform for reform-instead of beating each other up. By combining their efforts, the Dream Team will develop a compelling plan to attack political gridlock in Washington DC-ensuring that the much-needed transformation of the federal government can begin on January 21, 2017.

The 2016 Republican field is ever narrowing from an initial 17 to (at the time of writing) 5. The race to become the GOP nominee is becoming ever more embittered; the resultant discourse between the candidates becoming is increasingly personal and electorally damaging, the voters' responsibility of determining the best candidate to put forward for the General Election is becoming harder with each passing day. Surely, there is another way?
In answer to this question, the Author seeks to put forward an alternative to the current process for nominating the next GOP candidate: that of the "Dream Team".
The Dream Team comprises of a unified slate of candidates, working together as a pre-assembled government in waiting, drawing and assigning key governmental posts on the strengths and attributes of each candidate. In essence, why subject the voter and candidates to a damaging; repetitive and drawn out series of one-on-one battles which invariably result in viable GOP candidates being left financially drained and electorally compromised before they even get the chance to face a Democrat. 2012 being a case in point.
The Author advances their position by way of a focus group and a detailed break down of the individual candidates policy positions. The focus group is then asked to consider which candidate would be best suited to each individual governmental role. The nominations vary, and the splits within the focus group become evident, the presupposition that the candidates would be amenable to the idea also seems to be on incredibly shaky ground.
Herein lies the problem! It is difficult to imagine any of the 2016 field willing to accept any other than the title of Commander in Chief, it is also difficult to envisage the 2016 slate, or any future slate, transcending party divisions simply for the aim of beating the Democrat nominee.
The narrative was light and easy to follow, and the motivation of the Author to create the Dream Team concept is laudable, it just seems, at present, to be unworkable.
