According to pollster Frank Luntz and his famous “undecided focus group” extravaganzas he holds after every debate, American voters aren’t nearly as worked up about Donald Trump’s tax returns as the media and Clinton campaign appear to be. In fact, according to Luntz’ appearance on CBS Wednesday, voters might be interested in getting tax tips from the GOP nominee:
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
“Nobody wants to pay taxes. As long as you don’t break the law, as long as you didn’t do anything unethical, tax payers are fed up with the tax code and they actually did not hold him responsible for that. What they don’t like is how his employees were treated. The goal for the average American is to find some way to reduce their taxes.”
Luntz also noted that the undecided voters “are more upset over Hillary Clinton’s emails than they are about Trump’s tax returns,” and he added “that email issue is going to continue, I think, into the next two debates.”
This cuts against what the media and the debate moderators have een focusing on. Lester Holt made absolutely no reference during last weeks debate to Hillary Clinton’s use of an unauthorized, non-secure, non-government email server to conduct her official business while Secretary of State. He did initiate a laborious exchange over Trump’s tax returns, though.
If the media and debate moderators really want to get these candidates to talk about issues the American voter cares about, they’d start probing deeper into the email issue.
Don’t hold your breath.
One was squeaky-clean legal, the other was outrageously illegal and the coverup was worse. You can’t really equate the two.
Luntz the Dunce will have a MELTDOWN!!
Only liberals think there’s something wrong with paying lower taxes.
Liberals truly thought they had a winning issue with “Trump didn’t pay taxes (just ignore the fact that he took a loss as allowed by the tax code)!!”
They forget that most people who work, really work, for a living don’t see sending in tax dollars that are not legally required as either fun, productive or sane. In other words, they don’t realize that not everyone is as mentally twisted as they are!
I must have missed something. How has Trump allegedly mistreated employees?
yep, as they claim the home owners deduction for themselves!
Liberals consist of people on Welfare and BILLIONAIRES and MILIONAIRES! Go freaking figure.
There spruced it up a little for you.
What, providing them jobs?
Oh, and how was that, Frank? I've heard the vast majority LOVE working for him.
I'm sure anyone could dig up some entitled ass who is still butt hurt for not doing his/her job, but the norm? NO.
Trying to make an issue of Trump not paying taxes he didn’t owe is a sign of desperation one the part of Crooked Hillary and her media minions. Even low info voters can see through that.
How would they know? It's nothing they've ever done before...
I think even a lot of dumb people who pay taxes are smart enough to know that avoiding taxes is not really something they’d WANT to do if they had to report a $900 million loss in order to qualify.
I’ve never seen or heard anything negative about how Trump treats his employees.
In fact quite the opposite!
Someone needs to explain that statement.
And even more corruption in DC:

In Nevada there are tv commercials saying he mistreated them.
