Luntz retweeted Trump's tweet, thanking Luntz for naming Trump the winner of last night's debate ;-)

Looks like Trump was the overall favorite, last night...

Frank Luntz is a joke. I can’t even stand to watch him.

I’m sure Trump will now plummet in the polls. LOL!

Fox is anti-Trump. Cruz is their next guy to pump.

Luntz retweeted Trump’s tweet, thanking Luntz for calling Trump the winner. That kind of counters what this article is saying.

May be just a strangely (and grammatically poor!) written headline. Here’s how headline is written, at link....

MANY IN FRANK LUNTZ’S FOCUS GROUP CHANGES THEIR VOTE TO TED CRUZ!

(RightScoop is pro-Cruz...btw)

Good (Iowa) news for Ted Cruz, not so good for Donald Trump, since most Christian Evangelicals will probably swing hard for Ted Cruz in Iowa ...

Trump can afford to lose Iowa. Cruz can't.

Frank Luntz said... ...does not really mean anything, anymore.

Got Credibility Frank? This is what happens when you are exposed as a big, fat, sweaty, mealy mouth liar on national T.V.

P.S if this is a perl catalyst site stop double encoding things its annoying.

Check your [% WRAPPER content | html-double-encoding-filter-fix-me %] filters most likely thats what your doing.

Jane. A few things I’ve noticed with the online debate polls. In some regards they mirror the polls. Trump for the most part in the high 40’s and Cruz in second in the mid 20’s. Both are a little higher than they score in polls but may reflect actual vote totals when we get there. Carson underperforms online and Rubio underperforms slightly. Paul does well in these online polling forums. I think because his support comes from younger millennials who are tech savvy. Yeb, Kasich, Christie and Fiorino are non-factors in both forums. But the basic choice parameters are there.

Of other note is that Trump is dominating in the online polls at the liberal sites. Time, U.S. News, Slate, etc. this suggests to me that Trump will have significant crossover appeal with the libs. Imagine Hillary or Sanders getting any appreciable vote totals on Drudge or other conservative sites. In our ever growing tech world, while these polls are not scientific they are a broad indicator of candidate support. I would imagine in another election cycle or two, traditional polling will be gone and replaced by online polling.

"Just because you don't like what you hear doesn't change the fact that crossovers ARE flocking to Cruz.

Lord, the trumpeters are hilarious. They absolutely cannot ever (!!!) debate anything about their guy that they don’t like. All it ever is, is shooting the messenger. Just go back and re-read this thread. You can instantly tell who the known Trump supporters are...it really is hilarious.

Yep. I’m a Trump supporter. No need to guess or insinuate.

The line where the Luntz folks should have went away from Cruz.

or CRUZ TRUMP 2016!

I don't think there is any way Trump would be interested in the VP spot.

I watched that last night and was pleasantly surprised so many switched to Cruz. They had been going to vote for Trump, Rubio, Carson, Fiorina. When the scales were shown of Cruz's remarks, the line would go to the top.

Its like the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
She’s a witch! Burn her!

There will be no dissention in the ranks tolerated! You must all become Trump supporters. And any who say anything bad about Trump must be shouted down with zomblie like chants of “heretic!”

The last time a Luntz group had a similar reaction, Trump surged in the polls.

This is the second focus group where Luntz has worked desperately to 1) change the people’s vote and 2) get the line of attack for establishment candidates on Trump.

Thanks for the link. I thought Ted won, too. Just a very solid performance.

I don't hear the word extremist used about him anymore.

And once Cruz wins Iowa, the he-can t-win argument goes by the boards, too.
