The Daily 202: Trump may benefit from emphasis on terrorism in tonight’s CNN debate
The Washington Compost ^ | 12/15/2015 | James Hohmann

— Terrorism has emerged as the top concern among Republican primary voters, and Donald Trump is seen as the candidate best equipped to combat it. This is the main reason Trump has popped in the polls since his call last week for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration into the United States.

A fresh Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that 38 percent of Republicans name terrorism as the single most important issue, compared with 29 percent who name the economy and just 6 percent who highlight immigration. “Asked to choose which candidate among the top five they would trust most to deal with threats of terrorism, half of Republicans cite Trump,” Dan Balz and Scott Clement write this morning.

Our poll finds Trump getting 38 percent among Republicans nationally, his highest mark yet. Ted Cruz of Texas has surged into second with 15 percent, effectively doubling his support since our poll last month. Marco Rubio and Ben Carson are tied for third, with 12 percent each.

Yes, he did go to a military school in High School, and always felt like he’d served.

After the Candy Crowley debacle, I don’t think that CNN should EVER be allowed to “host” another debate. Ever. They probably should not hold a license to broadcast, either.

First question from the liberal vermin moderators on CNN tonite:

“Candidates, please tell us why you believe the Earth is only 6000 years old, and what you base this belief on?”
