Pollster Frank Luntz Melts Down After Former Client Rubio Drops Out
Breitbart ^ | March 17, 2016 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 03/17/2016 12:53:33 PM PDT by monkapotamus

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..”

Frank must be related to Boehner.

Luntz is a fraud. A very dishonest little man.

We have a lot of traitors, backstabbers, agents provocateur, opportunists, political whores, globalists, etc. who make a lot of cash selling out their fellow Americans.

As long as it makes them piles of cash, they are A.O.K. with just about anything.

I hate linking to Breitbart!

Killed all my open windows.

Luntz is a fraud, but we suspected THAT much all along.

Now, we have confirmation!

This is his 2nd publicized melt down, he went underground after Obama won and Romney lost, because all his polls said that Romney would win by a large margin. LOL shame on him and his pre-designed polls.

Also, Dick Morris predicted that Romney would win big. I have forgotten what the other polls said about Obama vs Romney.

his genuine focus groups are stacked

Ya think? I still remember 4 years ago when the same large yellow-haired liberal black woman appeared in 3 different groups. A note to Frank: when you're trying to conceal the fact that your groups are stacked, it's not a good idea to reuse really weird looking people.

What happened? Did he give Rubio focus groups dials that go up to 11?

You mean his genuine focus groups are stacked?

Howie Carr kept implying that Luntz focused groups were stacked and coached to say things like "Marco Rubio is very aspirational" -- a word you don't hear every day from ordinary people.

FWIW: Frank Luntz and Kellyanne Fitzpatrick (Conroy) used to have a late night TV show or something years ago. They both got old. I guess we all did since then. Frank got really fat too.

Frank is one of those people Donald doesn’t use, and has no need of.

This makes frank sad.
