It's a very Trump Christmas
The Hill ^ | December 24, 2015 | Lisa Hagen

Donald Trump may be getting the best gift of all this holiday season, as he enters 2016 firmly on top in the Republican race for the White House.

The GOP presidential hopeful has proved the doubters wrong, solidifying a double-digit lead in national polls while running one of the most unorthodox campaigns in history.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) - who has seen his support plunge amid Trump's rise - predicted at a private Dallas fundraiser in mid-November that Trump would falter by the next GOP debate.

"Come December 15, Trump will be in decline," Bush reportedly said.

But on the eve of Christmas, Trump still tops the Republican field by 17 points, even as Bush lags behind in the single digits.

"He's obviously been able to defy political gravity for much of this campaign," GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak said, noting Trump's advantages of being a celebrity and attracting heavy media coverage.

The latest national polls confirm that Trump's momentum isn't slowing down. Within the past week, Trump:

Topped the field in a post-debate survey from Public Policy Polling, increasing his lead by 8 points

Bested the second-place finisher by 4 points in a Quinnipiac University poll

And opened up a 21-point lead in a CNN/ORC International poll

What is stopping other candidates from holding multiple rallies and townhall meetings where they fire up the crowds with straight from the heart speeches, thus attracting media and free publicity?

Over twenty years ago, Rush Limbaugh said the first presidential candidate to take the fight to the Drive-By Media, call them out, and get in their face would be unstoppable.

Rush was right. It says something that Trump has been the first person intelligent enough to actually try that strategy.
