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

Trump has class.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
We are, together, going to
Make America Great Again!
I Love You All,
Donald J. Trump
Btw fold it back and that is the front.
Thats it. Like I said, fold it back and it is perfect.
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.
That’s the image that he posted on his Facebook page:

I think it’s the fourth post down.
I want to see polling of Trump vs Hillary in New York.
I have it on my FP mantle along with the host of others.
I agree on all!
Thanks for the D Trump tweet.
LOL. I got my official Trump Christmas Card today.
Will Obama leave his little grass shack in Kealakakakuahakahumuhumunukunukukuapuaa, Hawaii to go to church tonight or tomorrow morning...and will he be totin' a huge Bible a la that other phony "religious" president, Bubba Clintoon?

Small sampling, but who are these Carson supporters? Really.
Thanks! :)
That’s great!
Good for him! Midnight mass is so special.
It was packed right with Trump on the front as the wreath with bow on back of card is correct, plus the Paid by ——at bottom is facing up.
Trump is to politics what Rush is to media.
