Trump Rises Post-Paris Attacks
The Donald is rising in the polls following the Paris attacks.
“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…
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.

This is scarey…he says he will build a Beautiful safe zone in war torn Syria and the idiots cheer. Trump knows 2 things, building and selling, he believes building a beautiful place in Syria is viable but he sells it to the rwnj’s as reality.

You know I am almost sick enough to wish that he would win the the whole kit and caboodle, let these idiots live in the destruction that will come from rumpster “leading” and show them how ignorant their ideas are and learn first hand how terrible the choices they made are, but I said almost because I am not sick enough.
