Donald Trump has a message he’d like to give Fox News political pollster Frank Luntz: You’re fired.
Fresh off his confrontation with Fox News superstar Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump is now lashing out at Luntz and calling on Fox News to fire him from overseeing its post-debate focus groups.
The participants in Luntz’s focus group bashed the real-estate mogul’s performance during the Fox News Republican presidential debate on Aug. 6, calling Trump “mean” and “bombastic.” Trump was quick to criticize the focus group, calling Luntz a “clown” and a “low class slob” on Twitter.
It has now come to light that prior to the debate, Luntz allegedly told attendees at a South Carolina fundraiser that Trump is “addicted” to attention and could hurt the Republican Party, according to Politico.

Making them leave, fill out forms, pay a fine and then come back “legally”
that sounds like a very familiar plan that all FReepers pretty universally rejected
Sounds like the same plan with added hyperbole.
Yea, right. Nixon had his enemies list, Clinton had the vast right wing conspiracy, Obama sent the IRS and numerous government agencies after the Tea Party. Now anyone that disagrees with Trump or questions him is attacked as being a loser or is called stupid and then the trumpeters go after them viciously. I see no difference between the four.
frank luntz has been manipulating the public for years on fox with his after action focus groups.....I myself fell for the manipulation. when Fox first started to use him in this manner.
Trump needs to stop wasting time with this stuff, it makes him look petty and childish
Good point, because you’re so interested and supportive when he addresses significant issues.
I have been complaining about Luntz since he came to Fox. His focus groups are always slanted to Dems, but in the case of this all Republican focus group that was on Hannity 2 nights in a row, Hannity asked him, what`s the makeup of this group, Luntz said 2-1 against Trump
The second night Hanitty never asked, was the same group but if someone did not catch the 30 second acknowledgement from the first night would never know
Shawn only asks him on occasion Luntz does not often or ever give out the makeup unless asked.
Every time Shaun has asked him its always been way more dems
Luntz is a loser, I complained about Luntz here at FR after the debate before Trump did
Sam, let’s just hope one of Trump’s daughters doesn’t sing!!!!
I watched that focus group and they looked very suspicious and set up to me . He had all the pre debate Trump supporters, who because of Trumps performance, changed theirs minds. Luntz was out to destroy Trump, so excited he was almost orgasmic. .
LOL!
Megyn America Great Again!
I think the Donald is missing his true calling. He should buy a news network— “Trump News”— he should anchor the nightly report—— imagine a network dedicated to anti- pc real world news.
You called that one, right on, brother!
The article is stating 2 week old news .
BTW, I thought what Luntz said about Trump was a compliment.
Luntz has been stacking the deck for GOP-e candidates election after election.
It’s time for him to go.
That may well be true. But if Trump keeps up with this type activity he’ll become
known in a way that will do much damage to his election chances. JMO.
Yeah it was obvious, EVERY person but one said they came in as a Trump supporter and then saw Trump as a loathsome evil creature. Highly unlikely.
But Luntz is a loser and I have been calling him out for years , ever since he joined Fox
So you are good with a focus group on Fox 2-1 against the candidate you support...good for you..roll eyes
And anytime he has dems and Rep in a focus group it`s never 50/50 Shaun told him it should be 50?50, this is the first time Luntz ever admitted to having 2-1 against anybody
Luntz spent most of his career on MSNBC and Morning Joe, he is a loser and it has zero to do with Trump
Luntz has been trying to derail the Trump campaign. His questions at the voters summit in Iowa should prove that.
Luntz, “Do you ask for forgiveness?” That was a bizarre question. There were others. You could tell from his questions that he was trying to derail his campaign.
Dana PeRino hasn’t let up why should Trump?
Give ‘em hell, Donald!
I think I have a pretty good BS meter. Donald Trump has always seemed genuine to me. By contrast, I can’t listen to three seconds of obozo who has liar dripping from every pore. Trump is admittedly not the most ‘conservative’ candidate, he’s a nationalist/populist who is decidedly right of center. And you know what? I’ll take it.
I agree with Trump here. Luntz is a complete bore. If you’ve seen one of his stupid ‘focus groups’ you’ve seen them all.
