Flabbergasted: Frank Luntz Shocked As Alabamians Back Roy Moore in Vice News Focus Group
Breitbart ^ | Dec 9, 20017 | Matthew Boyle

MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Frank Luntz, a GOP establishment messaging consultant, was visibly flabbergasted as every single one of his focus group participants in a Birmingham area Vice News-produced panel backed Judge Roy Moore for U.S. Senate.

Titled “Why These Alabama Voters Are Sticking By Roy Moore,” Luntz’s Vice News focus group aired on Vice News Tonight on Dec. 8 on HBO.

“Are you all Christians here?” Luntz opens the seven-and-a-half-minute long segment. “Yes,” all of the focus group participants, who joined Luntz in a Birmingham area restaurant, replied.

“Is Roy Moore a good Christian?” he followed up.

“Yes,” one woman replied. “Absolutely,” another said.

“Absolutely?” Luntz followed up in disbelief. “Yes,” the woman shot back. “Without any doubt whatsoever?” Luntz asked again.

After some more back and forth, a man in the focus group spoke up. Scottie Porter, a real estate developer, said:

He’s not my choice, I’m not voting for him because I like him. I’m voting for him because I don’t want Doug Jones. But Roy Moore is entitled to the presumption of innocence in the law and in the Bible just like anybody else should be. There are only accusations. There have been no charges filed. All you have is a group of women who have come forward.

“How many? How many?” Luntz pressed Porter.

When you are driven by morals, faith, manners, and principles, focus groups and poll pushers like him become worthless. When you have a focused electorate you don’t need analytics to explain.

Fat frank is always working for the liberal side, regardless of how he tries to cover it over.

I love these people who only ever bring up Christianity when they think they can bash somebody over the head with it.

Luntz is NOT stunned. He is a ComDem shill and a liar.

Luntz needed to be challenged for his bias by the focus group on the air.

This is such a hackneyed cliche, “where there is smoke, there is fire”.

It’s not a fire... it’s a smoke-screen used to cover an attack.

Where we these accusers when Moore ran for elected office to the Alabama supreme court twice?

Their victimhood was not so great that they would see him elevated to such high office then?

They are ALL liars.

I read the article but did not watch the video. This was a terrific panel; well-reasoned and informed on point after point. Frank was in total disbelief.

Priceless.

One huge difference between Clinton and Moore. Moore’s alleged behavior was 40 years ago without reoccurrence but Clinton’s was ongoing. You can’t even compare the two. Lunt’s logic is week.

People dont give a sh*t about Trump’s or Moore’s flaws because when your house is burning you don’t care who the firemen are.
