In the days since Friday's horrific attacks in Paris—the most deadly act of terrorism on European soil in more than a decade—something approaching a consensus has emerged among politicos, pundits, and the political press corps in Washington: The fear-inducing violence in France could bring order to what has been a chaotic Republican presidential campaign here at home.
The New York Times reports that the attacks have "thrust national security to the heart of the presidential race, forcing candidates to scramble and possibly prompting voters to reconsider their flirtations with unconventional candidates." Bloomberg Politics calls it "an important gut-check moment for Republican voters who rank outsiders Donald Trump and Ben Carson as their top choices." And Politico declares that it has shifted the race, at least for now, "from a campaign for the presidency to a test for commander in chief."

obama has been insulting Americans for 7 years! Go TRUMP!
Bump. Pray people wake up to the folly of thinking a patriotic celebrity billionaire TV showman as president, with a history being left-leaning moderate in politics, would be anything but regrettable.
Obama insults us for seven years and you support his self-described “biggest fan”.
Wake up, please. Before it’s too late.
Oh, poor thing, somebody disagreed with you so he must be a troll!! Waaaaaaahhh!!!
My guess is, negative. But Col. Flagg and Trump have one thing in common, I believe -- both love their country and are sincere well-meaning patriots.
Unlike Col. Flagg, however, Trump's past indicates a decided political MODERATE at best, and ZIP actual political record except for that out of 21 of the past 26 years, he donated as much (more actually) to Democrat politicians than to Republican politicians, as a cost of doing business, of course!!! Got to satisfy the shareholders and pursue financial gain even if the cause of liberty suffers, after all, Trump is a businessman!
I also bet that Colonel Flagg didn't watch a lot of TV including a hit reality show hosted by the real estate mogul Donald Trump for seven years that touted "The Donald" as one of the world's most brilliant businessmen and made him a pop celebrity. (If not for The Apprentice, Despot, most people would never have heard of Trump.) Trump's got you convinced -- but those of us who never watched the show were never sold his bill of goods.
Say, Despot -- did you hit yourself over the head with the TV remote control?
I guess Coulter missed it when back on Sept. 24, Ted Cruz was actively urging Homeland Security and Congress to stop taking in Syrian refugees before being thoroughly vetted.
Coulter must also have missed Cruz's Nov. 13 post on his own website within hours after the massacre in Paris, that "Even as chaos rages in Paris, we need to take immediate, commonsense steps to preserve our own safety. .... We need to immediately declare a halt to any plans to bring refugees that may have been infiltrated by ISIS to the United States."
Cruz somehow didn't win in a landslide with that -- he's not a pop star patriot celebrity billionaire showman. So it doesn't mean nearly as much coming from him, right?
Trump: ‘Clown’ Obama ‘the biggest liar I know’
‘We have a man in the White House who doesn’t have a clue’

What are you talking about?
No, but your obtuseness damn sure hit me on the head.
Trump's up insulting people on Twitter at 3:00 in the morning. And this clown wants the nuclear football?Like all bullies, he's terribly insecure and thin-skinned. He can't let any slights pass unmentioned, no matter how insignificant.
Not. A. Chance.
