We should be at the top of the pack

This is a nice congruent conflation of “top of the heap” and “leader of the pack”, both meaning to be the best in a group. I am looking forward to a treasure trove of malaphors for the next four years. A big thanks to Frank King for spotting this one and sending it in!
