You’re right: Frank Luntz is an eGOP putz.
Luntz was gleefully prediciting Trump was finished on Thurs. Have not heard a peep out of him since. What a tool.
Luntz' "focus groups" are the WWE of "polling". The GOPe tells him what to perform to suit their aims. This week, it's "PUSH FIORINA". Remember in Iowa when Trump criticized McCain calling border security conservatives "crazies", Luntz started yelling "but he's a war hero...but he's a war hero" six times until a pissed off Trump said his now famous words. Luntz is a RINO douche.
Ping
Luntz’s instant polls of his focus group were accurate. These polls are totally divergent from polls taken after the debate by various organizations that are not friends of Trump.
There is only one explanation for this. Luntz picked his focus group selectively to be anti Trump. It is really that simple and glaring obvious that the focus group did not reflect the general Republican base.
ps
I am not a Trumpster, Ted Cruz is the man.

As for the post-debate focus group, it is rather strange that all of those interviewed on camera were of the same pattern: I was for Trump, but not anymore.
Drudge poll and Internet polls at several non-conservative media (newspapers, etc.) taken right after the debate showed Trump miles ahead of the nearest competitor. That challenges the validity of Luntz's focus group.

Polls and focus groups -- you get what you pay for. If you want X as a desired result, the polster can word the questions in a manner to elicit that desired result. Ever notice on slow news days that the media 'commissioned a poll' and thus, the poll became news?
I think that those that don’t like the “cheer leading section for Trump” should stop ragging on them as being “idiots” or “juvenile”.
For some reason those people don’t know how to shut up and focus on there own horse to try to tap into their enthusiasm.
for years we were to assume that FR wanted candidates that fought and didn’t take the crap from the press machine. But now? Oh NOW it’s too much to stomach???
Trump taking that Luntz guy down a peg, whose stupid focus groups have been used as nothing more than propaganda against us, has been a breath of fresh air, and I cant think of one guy (not even my candidate Cruz) ever coming right out and telling this guy to shove his little act up his margin of error.
Luntz?
top?
is the author kidding?
Luntz is not mentioned outside of his hand picked focus push groups.
we should put out George Will’s anti Reagan quotes.
Everyone should watch that video!
Frank Luntz - CFR Pollster Exposed by Penn &Teller (PROFANITY)

Very nicely said.
I’ve hung out with Penn and Teller. They are both extremely intelligent. I was not surprised to see Penn kick Luntz in the nuts. I say Trump should put Penn in charge of handling Iran. He could make Iran disappear.
Luntz the dunce is a fraud.
Jane someday you might want somebody to vote for your candidate...who is going to do that after you dump on of anyone that disagrees with you?
You will have less voters than Trump has hair
I disagree with you ....If that was a lynching what happens when things really get tough?
“...but he doesn’t cower.”
That’s one of the benefits of being a billionaire.
I agree. I've heard them quoted several times (Levin and others). I Googled a little, but haven't found them yet. We do need to find and post them, maybe make a thread of it.
Do you have a link for them?
Trump is a known quantity and at least he is not jBush, Fiorina, Kasich etc who are trying to use magic words to sucker voters.
People want a border wall, not a BS “enforcement” answer as just one example.
I do not trust jBush to follow through in DC other than to follow through and screw the voters.
I do not trust Fiorina who was voted “worst CEO” and apparently was actually fired.
Ability to recognize the enemy is key to true leadership.
Lets see if he can avoid the “McCain Adviser” trap.
Totally agree, and especially the Cruz supporters who are acting the exact opposite of how Ted has treated Trump and his supporters. Ted wouldn't be pleased with some of his smartassed supporters here on FR.
