Frank Luntz: ‘I Was Wrong, ‘Strong’ Trump Can Win 2024.’
The National Pulse ^ | 06/14/2023 | JAKE WELCH

Posted on 06/14/2023 7:09:18 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Frank Luntz – a long-time ‘RINO’ Republican pollster and roommate to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy – has admitted the falsehoods of his prior political prognostications about Donald Trump, and is now warning his globalist cronies that the former President could win the White House in 2024.

In 2021, Luntz argued, “Trump is the most popular Republican by far, but he can’t win a general election because in the end politics is about persona as much as it is about policy, and his persona is unacceptable to too many people.”

Adding, “[i]f Trump runs again he will be nominated by the Republicans, “but he will never be elected president because there are too many people who hate him.”

However, following the political persecution of the former President, he now claims, “I now have to acknowledge that it is a distinct possibility that Donald Trump could be elected president – I did not believe that one year ago.”

“I did not believe that the search of Mar-a-Lago would be handled so badly, I did not believe that the indictment of him in New York would be handled so badly,” Luntz continued.

“So he’s actually stronger today under two indictments, being found guilty of sexual assault, he’s actually politically stronger today than he was one year ago,” he added.

Trump was not, in fact, found guilty of sexual assault but rather “liable” for “sexual abuse” in the E Jean Carroll case. He was found not liable for the main claim, an accusation of rape.

“but he will never be elected president because there are too many people who hate him.”

The actual wording in 2016 was....Too many people have to be wrong for him to be right.

If Luntz was wrong, Deep State wouldn’t need to steal elections, would it?

“So he’s actually stronger today under two indictments, being found guilty of sexual assault, he’s actually politically stronger today than he was one year ago,”

Of course Luntz is right. If they had just impeached Trump once and left it at that, or indicted him once, then it might be a different story. But two failed impeachments, the failed Jan. 6 “hearings”, the failed Russiagate “investigation”, a ludicrous civil suit, and now 2 indictments with a 3rd probably in the way is just overkill. It makes it apparent to anyone who isn’t completely brainwashed that Trump is the target of political persecution.

So the left just went and changed Trump from a guy with a bit of a damaged brand that people were growing tired of into an underdog. And Americans love an underdog.

OBAMA got voted in to make people happy about ‘first black President”.

THAT didn’t work very well in the long run.

Who stands with Trump, and who is against him?

I sometimes wondered how many of the votes were from those who wanted to virtue signal their non racism.

I wonder if Reagan’s two wins were our last honest elections until Trump.

I think the only reason Trump won the first time is that Deep State miscalculated the landslide.

The solved that problem the next time around.

If we don’t ditch the high tech voting equipment we are screwed.

High tech is the ONLY way to steal a landslide.

A whole lot of us hope he is right.

The religious talking heads remind me that the chicoms hate Trump. I wonder just how many people are in their pockets?

In the summer of 2016, I knew that Trump would win. Since 1900, no Democrat was elected president to replace another democrat president, who didn’t run for re-election.

The Deep State is doubling down on their corruption as if they have no fear of the 2024 election.

Or else they are going to Total War because they are under existential threat.

Dont get caught underestimating the left.

Their imagination regards vote cheating knows no bounds.

They have had 50 plus years perfecting every way possible techniques to squeeze out another dishonest vote.

Going to take some serious, organized pushback, across the entire spectrum, to stop the corruption.

“’I did not believe that the search of Mar-a-Lago would be handled so badly, I did not believe that the indictment of him in New York would be handled so badly’, Luntz continued.”

In other words, he thinks the FBI and NY prosecutors had not worked hard enough to get rid of Trump. He’s upset that if they had done better setting up Trump, Trump would be history.

Fat f**k asshole.
