Trump really should incorporate much of what Jr. talked about....there will be 10-15 million or so available votes watching tomorrow night. I fully expect Pense do do very well tonight...JR, Pense, Ivanka then Trump. Nice way to line it up for the kill shot speech. Looks like Trump knows how to run a convention after all.
People should never forget that Trump made this happen and if it were not for him there would be nothing today.
At the end he asked if they changed their minds and they all said no. All but six have already decoy deed and half hate Trump. Typical Duntz group.
I think Frank Luntz is very good at what he does.
I dont think he ever had a focus groupt that did that- in fact the only ones I remember were all favorable to Trummp
I totally agree Trump Jr is super impressive. I watched a YouTube video of him many months ago and I was immediately won over. I showed it to all my friends and family.
But I don’t agree with the focus group commentor’s lament “if only the father could be more like the son, etc.
Let’s not forget that DT Jr, as articulate, genuine, charismatic and spot on as he is, hasn’t yet come anywhere close to matching his father’s success - either in business or in politics. Maybe he will, who knows, but for now let’s not be too quick to ‘wish away’ Trump Sr’s more controversial features - they may be the very ones that allowed for his tremendous success.
For example, the instinct to hit back twice as hard, the ability to negatively brand one’s opponent so effectively that they are unable to escape the negative association, and are therefore defeated. Brutal honesty and I do mean brutal. The ability to win unapologetically. The tenacious way he sticks to his guns, political correctness be damned. Many people find these characteristics distasteful or unsportsmanlike, or worse. I think because of that, many people are willing to accept defeat rather than risk being unfairly called a racist or other name.
Trump chooses victory. We really, really need a winner right about now. Trump is a winner. Big league. Who among us can claim to know how he does it? So, let’s not mess with success.
None of this is to take anything away from his son - Jr really is awesome. I’m just saying the “the father should be more like the son” comment is bs
Let Donald be Donald. PLEASE don’t change a thing!
Not true. 7 undecideds said they are leaning Trump. 5 said Hillary. The rest said no change.
Not that I care about Luntz’s dunces, but facts matter.
Donald Trump Jr. is absolutely the best representative for his father.
I saw him earlier in the campaign in NV and he was really good in the Q & A.
Last night’s speech was the best of the night.
The reality is all these hand wringing that Trump is crazy is nonsense.. he’s crazy like a fox.
He’s nearly 70, been successful in business for decades, and throughout it all he’s never ever been accused of being racist, or being unstable... yet he runs for President and now suddenly he’s a kook?
Its nonsense... the america people by and large aren’t going to buy the left’s fear mongering.
Running an America First campaign will pull in voters all across the electorate... Hillary and dems are going to be pasted.
Go to You Tube and look up Frank Luntz focus groups and Trump...
Donald J. Trump, Jr. did such a wonderful job with his
speech. (The “enemedia” tried to accuse him of
“plagiarism”. Turns out that the one phrase he used was
written by the conservative SPEECHWRITER who had written
the book they were citing.
Hey after 10 sets of Trump train tracks criscrossing Luntz’ face, you don’t have to tell him again.

As I keep saying by October it will look like Trump is running unopposed.

Nice metaphor! Funny too!
Several members said they wish that Trump Sr. was more coolheaded and less controversial like Trump Jr.
I live in the wrong century.
I have said it as well, by October, the Dems will be just in desperation mode trying to hold onto states none of the pundits can imagine will be in play.
Originally I thought Best Case for Hillary was 15 states and about 180 EC votes.... with a more realistic outcome of around 10 states and 100-120ish EC votes.... now I think 10 states and 120ish EC votes is probably the absolute best case for her... with it daily looking more and more like the more likely scenario is a 1980 jimmy carter type drubbing.
Obama is toxic, no matter what the press tells you, he’s no less toxic to the electorate that Clinton was in 2000 and Bush was in 2008. The only difference? He and those around him are so self absorbed they don’t recognize it. The political press and pundits on both sides of the aisle for the most part have their head so far up their collective arses that they just can’t see the obvious... or if they do, cannot bring themselves to admit it.
I ask all those, who think this is going to be close, just ask yourself this simple question.... at some point Trump and Hillary will be behind a podium, no filters, no spin.... Now sure the networks will try to manipulate the visuals, offer loaded and biased questions and all the other typical crap... but when its all said and done, do you remotely think Hillary will come out the winner in any such situation?
Do you really think when Alpha Male is up against Pander Female, that she has a shot at all of winning???? We’ve had 8 years of Beta Male, Hillary’s record which she wants to try to use as her selling point, is horrible, and places her right in the middle of all the corruption and selling out that everyone is sick of....
I know the press has to make you think its close to keep you tuning in, but this thing is going to be a route, and a route that hasn’t happened in a long long time.
Luntz is an anti-Trump jackass who stacks his focus groups with anti-Trump people. I’m sorry my software wound up in his hands.
I think for the first Trump Hillary debate the country will take the day off. Everyone will be watching. I bet 50 million +.
I found it hilarious how he broke them out. The group that voted for Obama once were considered the "Independents" the group that voted for Obama twice were considered the democrats and the group that did not vote for Obama was considered the republicans. Luntz beams that he had a balanced group.
The problem is that the people voted for Obama even once should be considered democrats and the ones who voted for him twice should be considered hopelessly insane.
Not voting for Obama does not make one a republican.
So he starts with a stacked deck and expects me to take any conclusion from his little group seriously?
