Celebrating Around The Trump Tree
Donald Trump will be getting a great gift on Christmas tomorrow, as he enters 2016 firmly on top in the Republican race for the White House. As The Blower predicted, the GOP presidential hopeful has proved the doubters wrong, solidifying a double-digit lead in national polls while running the most unorthodox campaign in history.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush— 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. Ohio Governor John Kasich is still in ninth place, where he belongs.
The Hill’s Lisa Hagen reports poll numbers highlight how Trump has displaced Obama as the central player on the political stage, with all parties reacting daily to his insults, tweets, and attack lines. Trump’s dominance is something few political observers other than The Blower would have predicted back on June 15, when he entered the presidential race with a rambling launch speech that some people were allegedly paid to attend. But Trump quickly gained momentum during the summer, with tens of thousands of people flocking to his rallies to hear how he planned to “make America great again” by deporting illegal immigrants and taking on China. And even as he’s fired up crowds, the businessman and former reality television star has courted controversy at every turn, creating a steady stream of conflict that has kept his name in the headlines.
Once again, Conventional Wisdom was wrong when it held that those political storms generated by Trump — most recently from his Trump’s use of the word “Schlong” Monday night, when Trump referred to Hillary’s defeat to Obama in the 2008 primaries, saying, “She was going to beat Obama. … She was favored to win — and she got schlonged. She lost.” — would be fatal to his candidacy.
And once again, The Blower was right.
