Some days I think Barack Obama is trying to get Donald Trump elected.
My theory on Trump's rise focuses on the surge Trump's polling at the same time President Obama has visibly failed to keep Americans safe from ISIS.
Fourteen dead in San Bernardino, the Los Angeles schools closed after a credible bomb threat to multiple schools, and the President looking dazed and lost in rhetoric repeated so often he knows it by heart.
Trump now has two respected polls, Monmouth and ABC/WashPost that show him essentially cracking 40% support. This breakthrough has the political professionals leaping to all kinds of explanations, but it's clear that Trump's statements are sounding like a ringing alarm bell to most Americans. Trump seems to be prophetic, even in his most outrageous statements.
But I think it's really all about Barack Obama. His flailing half-baked ISIS policy, his shrug at Paris and San Bernardino terrorism, his insistence we have a gun problem not a terror problem, similar insistence that we we have a robust and virtually foolproof vetting system for the Muslim refugees and immigrants he wants us to take in.
Americans instinctively suspect it's all crap. Then proof comes along, and we see those Americans rushing to Trump as fast as their feet will carry them.
For instance, the often repeated claim from everybody in the White House and the State Department that immigrants are thoroughly vetted. Turns out it's a lie. ABC's Brian Ross reports that the Department of Homeland Security has a purposeful, willful policy to NOT check an immigrant's social media history.

He really gives me the creeps.
Hussein Obama doesn't care what you or any other American thinks or likes. Hussein has been very successful in laying the groundwork for world domination by Islam.
Hussein releases terrorists from GITMO to kill more Americans
Hussein has given American weapons and aid to rebels in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Afghan....
WHO are the rebels? Muslim terrorists such as the Muslim brotherhood and Al Qaeda. Hussein was put in the White House to destroy America. He's done a very, very good job.
Hence, the justifiable creeps..
They both have their own helicopters and airplanes.
Does Trump have a butler?
He creeped me out, when he ran for State Senator; he just gives off the stench of EVIL.
Yes!
Somebody I knew in MO, before he became famous, sent me a link to his speech, saying “This is the one who will heal the nation”.
I shut down the video in less than 15 seconds.
Told her what I thought of him and that was the last I ever heard from her.
YIKES !
So true. Its not just Obama. Its the Republican party selling out the voting base 24/7. We are finally sick of it and we are going to put an adult in charge.
Sometimes I wonder what she thinks of him, now.
She was a fairly hardcore conservative, too.
Crewz Helmut is in charge!
Nope, that’s ME on the right. /lol
Well played, Fledermaus.
Well played.
;)
Wide is the path that leadeth to destruction and many there be that go in there at.
What day is the national primary?
OK. That’s two. Who will be third to ask this inane question? As an anti-Trump person, you do not understand that the purpose of the national poll is to follow trends. States do count most but the national poll is for understanding trends. Waiting for the next person to ask this question.
It will all change as soon as the voting starts. When Cruz wins Iowa, Trump wins NH and SC (because Democrats will be voting in those states), Cruz takes second in those, Cruz wins Nevada, and Cruz wins Texas on Super Tuesday, then momentum will dictate the rest. Today’s national poll will look nothing like the final delegate count.
The time has come to TRY to turn things around and be proud to be an American, something that has always come naturally to Americans.
He has been the ONLY candidate that invigorates the race and exhibits a “can do (Yankee) mentality.
Even though he is a pompous showman, he is, above all us, a salesman with a vengeance and if he can channel that vengeance to re bolster America and cause her enemies to not know our next move (so well implemeted by President Ovomit) then he should be elected and prove his stuff.
[America is fed-up with 25 years of Crony Capitalism.]
Yes we are. When trips to Congress in the 1990’s or so included appearances by Hollywood-types, etc. I knew we had turned a corner. It became People magazine at that point.
I’m not sure when it began to be most “in fashion” - it seemed to be happening a lot more at one point, to me.
