Trump may be 'impossible to take down,' top Republican pollster says

LEXANDRIA, Va. — A new focus group commissioned by GOP pollster Frank Luntz shows Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is virtually invulnerable to attack by rival 2016 candidates and the media, leading Luntz to say that it is now "totally conceivable" that Trump will become the Republican Party's nominee for president.

"The Republican leadership needs to wake up and see that the grass roots has abandoned them," said Luntz, the head of Luntz Global, a top GOP polling and messaging consultancy.

"This is a different cat," Luntz added. "It's not like Ross Perot in 1992, where people were simply unhappy with the two major parties; they're choosing Trump affirmatively. Honestly, my legs are shaking looking at these numbers. All those people who think he's going to implode are wrong. He's not going away."

If their going to vote like a democrap, talk like a democrap, and cry like a democrap, then FAG UP AND BE A DEMOCRAP.

Heard that same nonsense crap thousands of times, every time a tough talking, hard hitting, tell it like it is candidate comes along.
OH MY; LETS ALL GET THE VAPORS, we might upset the so called Independents in DEPENDS.
An Independent is nothing more than an incompetent pussy who can’t make up their own mind about right and wrong.
OH MY; we might upset most of the Blacks, screw’em, most of them only vote for more welfare and free stuff any way.
OH MY; we might upset the Hispanics (what the hell is a hispanic any way), they can go to hell, most of them don’t even bother to vote.
Who else are we going to manage to piss off.
The Republicrats, the ones who always vote a straight ticked because they are to stupid and brain washed to do otherwise?
Republicrats are just as bad as Democans, so to hell with them as well.
About time all political Parties were outlawed, and people started voting for AMERICANS and the CONSTITUTION AGAIN.
And just as a matter of interest; I am going for CRUZ, but if he doesn’t get the nomination I WILL go TRUMP.

Nope. I have been wrong before and I could be wrong here. My crystal ball has lied to me on more than one occasion. That said, this is what I see coming down the road. And for the record, there is no circumstance that I can reasonably foresee that would induce me to vote for Trump. So maybe Clinton should send a thank you to me as well. Then again I live in California, so my vote in the presidential election is pretty much meaningless.

You have a serious illegal invasion problem in CA. You might reconsider.

California is a solidly Democratic state. There is zero doubt as to which way this state is going in the general election. My vote is as meaningful here as a Democrat’s in South Carolina.

Oh blow it out your ass.
You go ahead and follow your GOPe buddies down the road to Perdition if you want, I have heard this same crap for almost 30 years.
Oh my, oh my, the ski will fall if you don’t vote for our Repulicrat Liar, Loser, Thief. He, She, It is so much better than the Democan Liar, Loser, Thief.
You have pegged my BULLSHITOMETER out to the top of the red, enough already.
I have swallowed my pride and self respect for the last time; being forced through fixed primaries, to vote for the Republicrat LIAR, LOSER, THIEF, flavor of the month.
So why don’t you just put it where the sun don’t shine.
By the way, is that you KARL ROVE?

“They’re ‘mad as hell and not going to take it anymore,’” Luntz said. ”And (Trump) personifies it: Each sees in him what they want for the country. They want him to fix what makes them mad, and they believe he will.”
