“You are describing every single media outlet in the country...”
You are correct. However, I don’t watch any other media outlet so can’t cite specifics.
Newsmax is my new go-to TV news channel. It’s fledgling now, but has potential to be mainstream as time passes.
By all means stay home if Trump is the candidate. President Sanders will look good on you.
So Trump can’t have an opinion but you can?
Lets get past who called out Luntz. The truth is that the Luntz focus groups are SHAMS. The “groups”. Who are they really? Nobody knows except what Luntz claims them to be.
FOX has been using this clown Luntz to manipulate opinion for a long time. Luntz always pretends to be “above board” but has admitted he has ways to get the results he wants.
Those dials. Who believes that crap?

Caution. some language
Get your mama to teach you how to treat others. What an idiot hey administrator what about personal attacks Compamy Man is a real asshole!
THAT is what is wrong with the world, too many people without the maturity to speak up.
You obviously don't know to whom you speak. My mother would roll over in her grave if I were to become a wimpy consumer. I am bold to the point of sometimes embarrassing my friends. I am PLENTY adult enough to speak up when wronged. Your assumptions make you look foolish.
The difference between Trump and me in this matter is that he is a FOX News contributor. (Aside: I'm not sure why he was in the first place, but I really didn't expect him to continue his regular call-in segment on F&F after he announced. Something not kosher about that.) As a contributor AND as a person who has explained to us how he likes to throw his weight around for leverage and such, he doesn't have the right to do that. I dare say you would not like it if FNC contributor Karl Rove made it clear that he wanted (enter name of most conservative FNC contributor here) to be fired. Neither Trump nor Trump have the right. But Trumpites seem to think that Trump has the right to trample over whomever and whatever he doesn't like. He's a bully. Too bad so many FReepers seem to like bullies. Unless, of course, they're liberal bullies. Or GOPe bullies. Just their own bullies are acceptable. This is just the flip side of the same coin with libs on one side and conservatives on the other.
Is refusing to appear on Fox (which he hasn’t said he’d do) because of Luntz being a sissy?
If all he wants to do is whine about it and he's not trying to throw his weight around (read "engage in leveraging"), I don't have a problem with it. Just knowing his history of needing to control everything around him or he'll take his toys and go home to another party causes me to be suspicious.
I'm glad he came out with his immigration plan. Now maybe he'll take some time to gather some military advisors so he won't have to depend on keeping up with all the TV pundit programs for his foreign/military policies.
Explained here (Post 127).
Roger Ailes is scared will start a rival network.
You are justifying silencing Trump because you do not like him. You not only talk out of both side of your mouth but your tongue is in a knot trying to keep up.
I'm going to type this very slowly in hopes you can grasp the meaning. Donald Trump has a business relationship with FNC. I do not. Until he severs those business ties with the network, he is out of line publicly recommending that they fire another individual who has business ties with that network.
I have no ties with or allegiance to FNC. Therefore, I can give them what for both publicly and privately.
I have made this reply as simple as possible. I even took the time to format the operative words for your convenience. If you still feel that poor little Donny boy looks manly and presidential when he whines and insults based on how he's handled in the press, then maybe he truly is your kind of candidate.
Over and out.
Obviously, you are anti-trump, and are persistent. And I think that is fine. But we all are in the same situation—we will only know the truth about a candidate after they are elected. So the best we can do is to look back on history to try divine what they will do on the future. As conservatives, we are nearly at the end of our rope. The true conservatives are low in the polls and I wonder if they will ever garner sufficient support (thinking Cruz).
The point has been made many times here that only a miniscule number (maybe one?) of the Pubes have dared to touch the topics like Trump, and they are Cruz, and... can’t recall anyone else. So we are left with Trump blowing this discussion wide open, as Cruz should be, yet is restrained to a lesser extent than the remaining political hacks of the RNC. Trump is speaking OUR minds, like no one has ever before. To cast him out would result in total failure again, this next election. I do not believe he will do a complete 180 on all the opinions he has espoused.
