...mean it to be a positive commentary on the Republican front-runner, or was it just a coincidence? If it was the latter, let's hope it's the last.

George Bush shocked Ronald Reagan with a 2-point win in 1980. That prompted Bush to proclaim he had "the Big Mo," and prompted an NBC analyst to suggest that "Ronald Reagan is politically dead."
