BREAKING: Trump Just Got HUGE News

In the wake of the Paris attacks, Donald Trump's poll numbers are surging. You don't get the real hugeness of that from this article. I have seen polls ranging from 36% to 51%. He is literally overwhelming the field here. No one comes close. The Beltway Boys keep thinking he's peaked and that people will grow up and choose a real leader like RINO extraordinaire Jeb Bush. That's not going to happen. Now they are saying he got a brief bump from the French massacre, but that it will hurt him in the long run. Au contraire, as Ann Coulter pointed out, the attack may have just ensured him the presidency. If more happen (and they will) and/or they happen in America (and they will), Trump could very well just march off with the nomination. He has already said he wants Ted Cruz as his VP. That ticket would win in a monumental landslide and usher back in the Reagan coalition.

Trump Paris

From The Hill:

Donald Trump has gained political strength since the Paris terrorist attacks last Friday, according to most of the polls released in the aftermath.

Trump's gains show him once again confounding Beltway wisdom, where the widespread view was that such a grave event would lead voters to look toward White House candidates who are purportedly more mature and sophisticated than the erstwhile star of “The Apprentice.”

Instead, it seems that Republican voters have found themselves drawn to Trump's emphatic rhetoric.

“You have voters who are saying loudly and clearly that they want a strong leader to run our country, and that leader is Mr. Trump,” the business mogul's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, told The Hill. “Some of the other candidates didn't have that vision. ... They have not had the foresight to predict these problems.”

Trump's approach, which tends to be vigorous in tone but light on specifics, draws plenty of criticism even within the GOP.

“Trump makes up for his shortcomings with his force of personality,” said one Republican strategist in New Hampshire who did not want to be identified but is not working for any of Trump's presidential rivals. “I don't think that, on the global stage, you beat [Russian President Vladimir] Putin by offering up your own Putin, in terms of macho charisma. It's far more involved than that.”

But many Republican voters seem to welcome Trump's bravado after last week's assault on French civilians that left 129 people dead. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the massacre.

In a WBUR poll of Republican voters in New Hampshire conducted just after the attacks, Trump's support had risen 4 points from a similar poll released at the start of this month, and he was ahead of his closet rival, retired surgeon Ben Carson, by a 2-1 margin.

A poll conducted by Florida Atlantic University also found Trump way ahead of his Republican competitors in the Sunshine State. He scored 36 percent support, exactly twice the level of backing secured by second-placed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

And Trump's strength isn't just showing up in state-level “horse race” polls.

A Reuters poll on Tuesday asked voters which of the candidates was best-suited to deal with the threat of terrorism. Among Republican voters, 36 percent opted for Trump. The next most popular response was “none,” at 17 percent. Rubio was again in second place in the survey among actual candidates, but he lagged Trump by 20 percentage points.

Voters' views may yet shift as they absorb the implications of the Paris atrocity. But for now, Trump's rhetoric seems to be striking a chord.

In an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News Channel on Tuesday evening, the real estate mogul insisted that U.S. mosques would have to be closed in response to the threat of terrorism.

“You're going to have to do something,” he said. “Some bad things are happening and a lot of them are happening in the mosque and you're going to have to do something.”

In radio ads released Wednesday in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina — which hold the first three contests in the presidential nomination process — Trump insists, “We must address Islamic terrorism and protect our country first. I will lead by example, as I always have, by vowing to defeat ISIS, stop illegal immigration and the Syrian refugee program, secure our border and bring real change to Washington.”

At a rally Monday night in Knoxville, Tenn., he earned big cheers when he insisted, regarding ISIS that, “I'm going to bomb the s— out of them.”

Even Trump skeptics acknowledge that this style has populist appeal at moments of public anxiety.

“It's true that his supporters see him as strong and they are not paying a lot of attention to the specifics of what he is saying,” said GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak. “I think people are fearful. They don't know what to believe but they certainly want a stronger response than [President] Obama has offered.”

But Mackowiak, who writes for The Hill's Contributors blog, also argued that Trump and Carson would slide as the Paris attack, and possible dangers to the United States, remain in the headlines.

“My sense is that it disadvantages Trump and Carson over the medium-to-long term. Trump — you see it at the debates — he's not even an inch deep” on foreign policy,” Mackowiak said.

The next Republican debate is almost a month away — scheduled for Dec. 15 in Nevada — and beyond that, there is only one more clash set to take place before the Iowa caucuses at the start of February.

That means Trump's rivals may need to find other ways to knock him off his perch. On Wednesday, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush delivered a defense-focused speech at The Citadel in South Carolina.

Bush did not name Trump, but the reality TV star was clearly in his sights when he said that the Paris attacks “remind us ... that we are living in serious times that require serious leadership.”

But such claims will need to resonate more powerfully than they have thus far if Bush is to have any chance. In the WBUR New Hampshire poll, the former governor was mired at 7 percent support, less than one-third of Trump's 22 percent.

Little wonder, then, that Trump aides evince such confidence.

“If you look at the public polling as to who is strongest when it comes to defeating ISIS, Mr. Trump is the clear winner,” said Lewandowski. “These are not my assertions. These are what the polls say time and time again. People want a person who is strong leader.”

Americans love a bad boy... they love a successful businessman...... they love a strong leader... they love a patriot... and they love to be entertained. Trump has all of that and more. As to his foreign policy, these pundits keep saying he has a shallow policy. Not true. Trump has provided more concrete plans than any other candidate and he and Ted Cruz see eye to eye on just about everything. He knows exactly what he would do in the Middle East and beyond. Trump has surrounded himself with the best and brightest military minds out there. He's done that in every field, you just don't hear about it. So keep on wishing Trump away. He's not going anywhere and at this rate, he will win the nomination. It's worth it just to see the politicos come unglued. No other candidate is speaking so forcefully to what Americans are concerned with. Bush is apathetic and not a leader. Rubio is Bush lite. Carson is a nice guy, but not as president. Ted Cruz is perfect, but may wind up on a ticket with Trump. On the Left's side, you've got an old, corrupt Marxist and don't even get me started on commie Sanders. Huge news for Donald Trump is huge news for America.

Deceiving yourself and others rather than simply admitting your advanced TDS is no way to go through life. Your post here and elsewhere throughout the FR forum is pure drivel - not an iota of truth to it anywhere - none.

E.g - first sentence - they do not call him the Maverick. That was Mclame.
- second sentence - The media doesn’t give Trump 75% of the coverage - he takes it. Each and every night of the week THOUSANDS go to stand in line for hours to hear him speak - arwe the media supposed to have coffee with Jim friggin’ Gilmore? . -second sentence - “unoriginal and mentally unstable” - you’re making that up out of thin air. He’s proven to me and millions of others that its quite the opposite calling out Obama for being exactly that “original and unstable”.
-third sentence - “long history of idiocy” - you’ve proven that you don’t even understand the meaning of the words you choose. Idiocy - noun - “extremely stupid behavior” - Trump is an Ivy League grad, an international brand of great reknown, a 4 handicap, his wife and children would make any of us proud and a billionaire several times over. nuff said.
- fourth sentence- “saving it” - the facts on the record indicate that no one has saved saying anything about Trump on TV on the debates on the editorial pages on the talking heads shows. Each day is a race to say how bad he is by as many as possible.
- fifth sentence - “There is nothing conservative” - Trump has a second amendment policy straight from George Washington, an immigration policy the same as IKE, a trade policy the same as Abe Lincoln.
-last sentence- “he has said nothing original” - it was Trump that brought the world to the notion that the 14th amendment doesn’t say that anchor babies are US citizens. Pretty damn effing original.

YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND. Get. Help.

I know. It's sad rally. I recognize Trump for exactly what he is, but there is a hell of a lot of good in that man.

Folks have settled on discontent with him, and they hold it as a badge of honor. It truly isn't.

Our college kids today are taught not to listen to Conservative logic. If the logic isn't their own, it can only be propaganda.

Isn't that exactly what some of our folks are doing. Trump is making a heck of a lot of sense, and our guys are, "La la la la la la la la!" They refuse to let their mind reason this out.

It's a darn shame.

After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.

Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

Take a look at this article!!!!
I’m pretty sure Reagan wouldn’t have hired Trump for anything let alone president of the United States!!

From this article....don’t just read the excerpt, read the entire article.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/records-show-scant-reagan-trump-ties-1442359829
“But a peek inside the archives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, host of Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate, tells a different story. Aides in the Reagan White House, peppered with invitations to Trump events, mostly kept the real-estate mogul at arm’s length, except when they were trying to stop his donations to Democrats or soothe his “large ego,” as one memo put it”

They knew exactly where he was coming from and what he planned to do.

No argument; hopefully, that is a given.

However, even with that we should not be surprised to find the file filled with her activities from her college days forward and her and Bill's "known associates and contacts" (including his apparent visit to Russia), was substantially more extensive than the file they had on him.

Ergo, IMO best case for the R's, if not the only acceptable explanation for ignoring the eligibility issue, is that they coldly calculated she was a greater threat to the nation.

This dude Trump is a genius in planning his primary campaign. He is hitting all the early states, one by one, repeatedly, and attracting huge crowds at every one. I bet other candidates are dying with jealousy, that they do not have their own Boeing 777 jet.

If the GOP establishment candidates remain to the end, it is not likely Trump will reach the number of delegates needed.

Graham, Kasich, Christie, Rubio may carry their delegates to attempt to give Bush a chance to secure the nomination.

Trumps fleet:

Boeing 757, a Cessna Citation X and three Sikorsky helicopters

He purchased the Boeing 757 from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen for around $100 million.

I think Jeb is corrupt I would not have him in any function in government

[hinckley buzzard]

She said that she does not believe any of the other candidates are up to the terrorism threat except Donald Trump.

Your wife's reaction illustrates response to the fundamental attribute of charisma--the display of unconflicted, unambiguous confidence in oneself and one's beliefs. Reagan had it, Obama flashes it at times, Trump has it, Hillary does not. Trump will be hard to beat by any of the word-woozing politicians up against him.
