Top Republican pollster Frank Luntz and Ron DeSantis warned that the low GOP turnout in the Iowa caucuses is a red flag for the party and that if Donald Trump doesn't get 'new voters' then he will lose in the November election.
'Trump is going to have to show that he can get people who didn't vote for him in 2020, he's got to get new voters or he loses,' Luntz told DailyMail.com
'It's a warning sign for the party in November because the turnout was so abysmally low,' the Florida governor said on Friday. 'There's terrible enthusiasm right now.'
Trump's rallies and events are consistently standing room only.

FR desantis supporters have been constantly saying Trump needs to change to appeal to independents....
Trump has the support he has, because Trump supporters are tired of trying to appease the 'independents' that turn out to be easily triggered leftist or GOPe party people, who want to Trump to become a rino.
BTW... This appears to be desanctimonious' event crowd, now days
Luntz is an idiot
What a spaz.
Wasn’t there an snow-storm and a blizzard?
Luntz is a moron. Low turnout was because Trump was so far ahead that many people didn’t brave the weather to vote.
If i recall there was a weather related problem. Also Luntz isn’t a serious person
Yes. There was snow and a blizzard and brutally cold conditions.
“Trump needs to get new weather, or he doesn’t have a chance.” Something like that.
And it was a caucas. The general election would be different.
Luntz Is a moron. It was colder than a well-diggers ass in Iowa. Most folks stayed warm at home.
Hardly. Try Richard Baris. He's been calling everything before it happens. Luntz and co have been advising DeSantis and the advice obviously sucks because the old establishment Repubs are clueless.
Well then where were the Desantis voters?? Duh
Luntz is a dunce.
Temperatures below 0 and the wind chills -30. I was impressed by the turnout.
And, if DeSantis could not even come close to Trump with a supposed low turnout, then following his logic, he and Birdbrain should quit immediately since they would do worse than Trump.
Bongino was the only pundit that mentioned the turnout, ignoring the inconceivably low temperature. Bongino just could not let it go by, since he loves DeSantis.
In reality, it was an heroic turnout, considering the freezing cold.
More reason to eliminate the Iowa/NH first in the nation crap. Both states are small. 95% white. Play the race card and and don’t wait for the democrats to bring it like we always do.
Four Regional primaries. One in January one in Feb... You know. Rotate them Every 4 years. Cut the crap. We play the game and lose every time. They throw rocks and we duck.
Legitimate. But it will only be proven in Election Day.
Frank Duntz is still mad Trump threw him out of his office.
Iowa is a caucus— not a primary. Turnout is only marginally important. Turnout for DeSantis was non-existent, and only slightly higher for Haley— they both lost big league (bigly) to Trump.
This entire press push piece is a creation of Luntz the former roommate of McCarthy, who in 2016 election was shadow working for hitlery and in 2020 actually proven PAID by Biden clowns. Luntz is in fact a FRAUD.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times:
The only thing the people hate worse than Democrats - is Republicans.
I disagree that its a lie.
he’s got to get new voters or he loses,’
That is plainly obvious that he must exceed his 2020 performance to win in spite of the fraud etc. He is fortunate that FJB has been every bit the unmitigated disaster everyone who could think thought he would be.
Those who are honest with themselves should turn to DJT.
BUT...I keep seeing dumblecrat strength in special elections, some state races and among people who should know better, like in FL.
I want every dumblecrat defeated so badly they are in a electoral hell they never get out of. But we are fooling ourselves over and over when we start to think it just HAS to be a slam dunk because look at how dumb and fumbling the opposition is.
All that may be true but they turned 2022 into a pink trickle because the dumb and fumbling turned out and voted for them.
