The Paris attacks have only made Donald Trump stronger
The Washington Post ^ | 11/22/2015 | Philip Bump

Not to unduly stress out Reince Priebus and the other members of the Republican establishment, but there are only 71 days until the Iowa caucuses, and only eight more days after that until New Hampshire. That's of now, Sunday, Nov. 22, a day on which a slew of new polls show that Donald Trump has improved his leads in both of those states and nationally.

Seventy-one days ago, the national Republican front-runner was ... Donald Trump, who led by 13.8 points in the Real Clear Politics polling average. Seventy-one days before that, though, the front-runner was Jeb Bush. If you add Bush's national polling average to that of the second-place candidate, Ben Carson, Trump would still be winning by two points.

This is something of a reversal. Here's the long-term trend of Trump's lead in both states and nationally.

There was very little polling being done and very few announced candidates back when the media had Jeb. in the lead.

When real polling began with real Americans instead of newsroom polls, Jeb. began and has continued to drop.

Even if he was a rock solid conservative, who in the Hell got it in their heads that another Bush would stand a chance?

I have no problem with people posting positive articles about their proposed candidate. I do have problems with people who propose endless negative articles about the candidate they hate.

I’ll make one exception: those who drove some of us crazy with those homoerotic photos of their beloved Rick Perry back in ‘12. Perry it tight jeans and chaps strewing hay; Perry in tight jeans and chaps looking longingly at his horse. Phew!

You seem to have Perryitis.

You might need a big hit of Gardasil.
