That's what I mean. He talked about Islamic terrorism, and everyone tried to separate himself from him. But muslims are muslims, and the odds that they would have a terrorist attack before the primaries were over was probably 100%.

Events with immigrants and muslims just kept proving his statements correct.

I'd like to see a chart of his popularity with the terrorist attacks and the murders by immigrants labeled on the chart.
