Pro-Trump Focus Group Make Frank Luntz’s Legs Wobble
Breitbart ^ | August 25, 2015 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/25/2015 6:01:08 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

After overseeing a focus group of 29 fervent Donald Trump supporters, Republican pollster and consultant Frank Luntz told a group of reporters that, “My legs are shaking.”

Although the Middle East is in chaos, our Southern border is in chaos, and our inner-cities are in chaos; although we are entering our seventh year of economic malaise as the national debt tops $18 trillion, the so-called Smart People in politics and media still can’t quite figure out why a wildly successful businessman promising change and to stick it to these same Smart People, is so danged popular.

Os' numbers are cooked. You have to look for numbers pre 2009 to get real deportation figures. O counts people turned around at the border as deported. Totally bogus.

Deportations could be increased by hiring more immigration judges. X amount of judges can handle y amount of cases in a year. Doubling the number of judges doubles the cases handle per year.

So I am a traitor and a moron. You people destroy the possibility of a true discourse of ideas. You act like the Hitler brown shirters. You prove my description of you as low information voters.

One person said that Trump’s Amnesty plan is just a ruse and that he will never follow through. So, he is lying to the voters to get elected. Isn’t that what the complaint is about the present establishment?

By letting the people back in immediately Trump is proposing amnesty. He is letting people back in ahead of people that have been waiting in line and following the law. That is amnesty. But, if trump proposes it you love it. That, in my opinion is intellectual dishonesty.

Luntz is a PAID manipulator of the facts and people should pay LITTLE or NO ATTENTION to anything he is associated with.

Trump is a work in progress. He is evolving. He will harden his amnesty position.

Dude, did you not post this?

"Again on display we have the low information voters fawning over Trump..."

Apparently when you type, it is not name calling, yeah, that's the ticket.

You made my point. If you go back to 2009 the number is just under 400,000. Double the number of judges and it still takes 15 years.

I could have worded that statement better, but it is not close to moron or traitor or worse yet liberal. .

When you poke the bear, it does not limit itself to the stick when poking back.

Regards your argument, it is rather liberalesque. It is what they use for talking points to counter deportation.

If you don't want to be mistaken for, or called one, try a different approach or line of reasoning in your presentation.

It is not legal by law. A judge ruled it illegal. The ruling is on hold while ICE attempts to work it out with the courts.

The longest journey starts with the first step. Many, I think, underestimate how powerful a tool encouraging self deportation (no tax payer paid for benefits) can be. Illegal immigration is a problem that threatens the existence of a sovereign USA. It’s a problem that can no longer be ignored. Either we “solve” the problem or we join the ash heap of history.

Wearing road kill on your head is no way to go through life, son.


Trump should walk in on one of his “ focus groups” and challenge him to a “real hair” contest, ruffling that rug right off his head......

the coming election will be a massive rejection of words and sentiments and ideology over actually accomplishing something.


Nice post and excellent closing line

And indeed, I am well known as the Free Republic bear.

You know, when Mark went on his rant about litmus tests for conservatives and how this or that person wasn’t “pro life” enough and we can’t get a single congressional bill OUT to shut down PP, well, yeah. What you said.

I am accusing you of betraying your felllow citizens by discounting the idea of getting rid of illegal aliens.

Self deportation works. I am not defending Trump’s inconsistancies which you, by the way, exaggerate. Trump said let some of them back in, not all. I disagree with that also. We do not have perfect candidates.

You un-intellectual rant about LIV is laughable.

Obama started including those apprehended at the border and turned back. Previously only those caught well inside the interior were counted as “deported”.

Regardless, some real numbers.
Operation Wetback lasted short of a year and resulted in 2.1M Illegals being repatriated. More than half that number self-deported.

So using your 11 M, we’d have this mopped up during President Trumps first year of his second term.
