Was it:
A) Endorsing the idea of requiring American Muslims to register into a database;
B) Insisting that thousands of American Muslims in New Jersey were holding a "tailgate party" to celebrate the 9-11 attacks, and then when countered with the facts, insisting it still happened because he "saw it somewhere on TV" and that "my Twitter followers say it happened";
C) Visibly mocking a disabled reporter who countered him, and then demanding that he apologize to him for it ( ); or
D) Just the general realization that Donald Trump is an enormous douchebag bullshit artist who's full of hot air and completely at a lack of ideas.
To be honest, I just can't say if any of those were the factor. He seemed to have plateaued and stagnated, and then got a boost after the Paris attacks, perhaps because some people saw him as the "strongman" type. But when a strongman appears to be afraid of reporters to the point of mocking their disabilities, how strong can that strongman really be?

Sorry Donald Drumpf but bashing minorities while repeating "Make America Great Again" ad-nauseam gets old, even for right wing racists.
