Breitbart News recently published a story that quoted The Tampa Bay Times confirming our reporting that Luntz has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to help shape Rubio’s political career.

The scandal raised serious questions about Luntz’s impartiality in conducting his Fox News post-debate focus groups, especially in light of a ridiculously pro-Rubio focus group that he conducted right before the Iowa caucus. National Journal picked up the story in a feature entitled “Luntz Plays Favorites With Marco Rubio..”

You’re a pollster and you didn’t catch the fact that Little Marco hit the self-destruct button on his career when he joined the Gang of Eight? Really??

What a nasty guy.

And a slob too. The guy needs to take control of his physical appearance.

It wasn’t that long ago Lumpy Luntz was worrying about paying his mortgage on his mansion and lo and behold Fox Network hired him and saved his fat a$$.

NOW we know why, it was to promote and corrupt polls to support THEIR candidate.

I think someone wired his little control boxes to a Van De Graff generator....and tuned the juice on.

Luntz at the time said, “I saw the destruction of a presidential campaign,” referring to Trump following the first debate.

Did he declare his business with Fox News?
He should never be involved with reporting polling ever again.
That, and obviously his burgeoning consulting business has failed spectacularly.
Is he the one who advise Rubio to go rogue?

Surprise surprise. Lantz is running a PR firm masquerading as a focus group.

He always had that sweaty look. Maybe he was on the Rubio water too.

I remember when a couple years ago, a FR member suggested The Klutz was stacking the deck and that Fox News was complicit.
I kind of poo-poo’d it but its clear now that Fox and Klutz were working with Cheap Labor Express to manipulate public opinion.

Looks like the doctor may have used too much force on the forceps. Head is pinched in above the ears and the head appears to be elongated.

Rush-—in between his defenses of Cruz in the past few days-—has done a pretty good job of explaining what a tremendous threat Trump poses to the livelihood of all these idiots.
