According to pollster Frank Luntz and his famous “undecided focus group” extravaganzas he holds after every debate, American voters aren’t nearly as worked up about Donald Trump’s tax returns as the media and Clinton campaign appear to be. In fact, according to Luntz’ appearance on CBS Wednesday, voters might be interested in getting tax tips from the GOP nominee:

“Nobody wants to pay taxes. As long as you don’t break the law, as long as you didn’t do anything unethical, tax payers are fed up with the tax code and they actually did not hold him responsible for that. What they don’t like is how his employees were treated. The goal for the average American is to find some way to reduce their taxes.”
Luntz also noted that the undecided voters “are more upset over Hillary Clinton’s emails than they are about Trump’s tax returns,” and he added “that email issue is going to continue, I think, into the next two debates.”
This cuts against what the media and the debate moderators have een focusing on. Lester Holt made absolutely no reference during last weeks debate to Hillary Clinton’s use of an unauthorized, non-secure, non-government email server to conduct her official business while Secretary of State. He did initiate a laborious exchange over Trump’s tax returns, though.
If the media and debate moderators really want to get these candidates to talk about issues the American voter cares about, they’d start probing deeper into the email issue.
Don’t hold your breath.
They also can't cite a single example of Trump "dissing" blacks.
But that hasn't stopped them from convincing a lot of Blacks that he wants to re-institue slavery.
IIRC, there has been ONE employee complaining about Trump recently. I wonder how many people Trump actually employs.......ONE GUY COMPLAINING!
Probably talking about the contractors who claim they weren’t paid that Hillary brought up in the debate.
none of the liberals who are upset about Trump “paying no taxes” are the least bit concerned about 52% of income earners paying NO income taxes at all.
[Only liberals think there’s something wrong with, someone other than them, paying lower taxes. ]
Right you are. The most dangerous place on the face of the Earth is between a liberal and their money.
Saw him talking about this yesterday. He showed that meter that the focus group controls while listening to the VP debate. I was amazed seeing the meter go up, even amongst those identified as HRC-leaning when Pence brought up the emails. Luntz but it bluntly and said that all Trump has to do to completely neutralize her tax lines is follow them up with requesting her emails. He wins that exchange by 2:1.
no reference during last weeks debate to Hillary Clinton’s use of anunauthorizedclandestine, non-secure, non-government email server to conduct her official business while Secretary of State to evade enforcement of the Freedom of Information Act.
The only people that want other people to pay more taxes are public employees and welfare recipients.
thanks for posting.
Exactly - I guess they equate his refusal to fully pay contractors who did not perform as contracted to perform as "abusing employees"...
