Donald Trump wants Fox News star 'fired'
World Net Daily ^ | 8/18/2015 | Cheryl Chumley

Posted on 08/18/2015 3:52:09 PM PDT by stars & stripes forever

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.

Can't wait till Trump goes off on the limp-wrists over at CNN, where the next debate is, Jake Tapper is Moderating.

No, Hugh Hewitt isn't moderating, but he will be commenting afterwards.

Trump needs to stop wasting time with this stuff, it makes him look petty and childish

There is another way to look at it. Like a smart aleck kid, if you let it ride, it will never stop but grow. This is why we are in the mess we are in. Too many cowards like Luntz believe they are the end to end all and so slick they can get away with molding public opinion to achieve their objectives. He has the television public believing his forum participants are not coached. He is a snide little weasel. Who knows how long he has been doing this.

You don’t get it. After 14 seasons of the Apprentice hosted by Trump, the words, “You’re fired!” have been household words. Why wouldn’t Trump have a pretty good reason for Luntz to be fired?

Luntz is marching to the establishment drummer that put us where we are — in the center of a disappearing nation.

There is even an element on FR hat if you go against Trump - you are not a true conservative or you are stupid and naive. Trump is a problem in that he is no different than Obama. It is plain as day as the inflated ego of both Donald and Obama. Look at Obama and trump they both go after Fox News. Tell me would trump be any different, actual Trump would be worse as a President because anyone whom he viewed as an enemy he would have arrested!

Trump does not turn the other cheek. When someone is unfair to him, he does not whimper and forget. He punches back twice as hard. It is a great way to warn future attackers what is waiting for them.

In my book, people who turn the other cheeks are eunuchs.

Absolutely; time for some body, even if only semi-conservative to KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES.
CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT! Mr. Trump can be vice pres.

Elementary, Dr Watson! Because Trump is a ratings juggernaut.

The first GOP debate in 2012 had 3.2 million viewers. With Trump in debates, Fox had 24 million viewers in the first debate.

Why do you think CEO of Fox called a truce with Trump?

Luntz not a star, he is an embarrassment.
Panels and knobs and lines is stupid, always subject to suspicions.

Trump isn’t my guy, but he comes way ahead of the serial apologizers.

The only thing the RINOs are capable of defending is the status quo and liberal conventional wisdom. I am sick of politicians acting like they should get a CMH for pleasing the media.
