Trump rises in wake of Paris attacks

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.”

I believe he will keep rising!

Go Trump!

We've had a Muslim loving president for 7 years, now, we want an American loving president.

Go Trump!

[Guenevere]

GO TRUMP!

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

I get so tired of this standard BS lying political MEME that he is supposedly light on specifics.

I guess none of his released position papers — heavy on detail — are enough to satisfy these career morons and committed mental defectives.

“I guess none of his released position papers — heavy on detail — are enough to satisfy these career morons and committed mental defectives.”

Obama’s specifics during the 2008 campaign were, “Hope and Change”. Seemed to work for him. The press, the Democrats, and the American people didn’t need specifics.

If it’s getting confounded that often maybe it isn’t wisdom.

Still amazing that after 911, America elected (twice) a guy with Hussein as a middle name.

LOL

[stanne]

They will do this for eight years. He doesn’t let it bother him

W for all his ‘we’re taking the high road’ reacted to them. That weakness made it worse

Forget it. The liberals will hate him for eight years. That includes fox news

[Vision Thing]

It’s a conspiracy! Trump was supposed to be finished after he ‘compared’ Carson to a child molester.

The TDSers are probably thinking Trump had something to do with the Paris attacks because clearly they helped him politically.

Wrong. Many of his position papers say 'increase funding,' 'cut waste,' etc....

It's great that he wants to reform taxes, spending, veteran care, immigration, defense.....

However, it needs to be clearly explained where the money comes from and what will inevitably need to be cut or outright eliminated. Those are the specifics most want to hear. As a businessman, he can clearly identify where he needs to cut and expand to finish a project. It's not asking too much to expect the same from him in this case.

We had an interesting trip to Costco yesterday. This young Mideastern type guy caught our eye and we watched him all the way through the store. It would take awhile to explain the whole thing but it looked like a probe to me and as we were standing in the checkout line I was practically ready to run out of the store. We carry everywhere now even Costco, Walmart, the mall we don’t give a rats bazoo what the policy is.

Watch yourself at the big box places.

Those who predict that the gathering chaos in the world will help those politically, who have stupidly embraced fantasies that have led to that chaos, are worse than merely naive. They are so deeply into delusional thinking that they imagine that the only real threat is reality itself.

Because Trump is willing to face reality--even when discussing it offends the delusional self-styled "pundits," self-proclaimed "adults in the room," and pseudo-intellectual nerds, he will continue to gain ground whenever the harsh realities of life make fools out of those desperately trying to deny those realities.

“Donald Trump has gained political strength since the Paris terrorist attacks”.......

What’s the bet odumbo blames Trump for the Paris attacks within a week?......5,.......4,......3,.........2,..........1.........

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well he’s blaming the reporters and the Republicans already. Why not throw Trump into it? Trump will revel in it.

[billyboy15]

“Trump’s gains show him once again confounding Beltway wisdom...”

How can these beltway morons not see it was the INSIDERS who got us where we are to begin with? The so called “experienced” politicians are the problem and most Americans now are seeing this.
