Donald Trumps feud with GOP pollster Frank Luntz escalated Monday with Trump calling on Fox News to fire Luntz from overseeing its post-debate focus groups, and Luntz launching a profanity-laden tirade to describe the real estate showman turned renegade presidential candidate.
In an interview with POLITICO, Luntz said Trump and Democratic presidential insurgent Bernie Sanders are delivering a big f- you to the elites in America.
And that resonates on both sides, Luntz said. But f- you doesnt solve anything. F- you doesnt make life any better. F- you makes you feel good, but it doesnt get you where you need to go. F- you doesnt make America strong. F- you doesnt solve anything.
Trump responded by accusing Luntz of harboring a long-held vendetta because Trump refused to do business with Luntzs polling firm.
I caught him cold, Trump told POLITICO. And frankly, if I was [Fox News President] Roger Ailes, Id fire that guy so fast for what he did that his head would spin.

The Luntz "focus Group" now appears to have been a setup from the beginning.
But f-— you to the GOPe is a great start.
Luntz is a fraud.
Luntz should be fired. No doubt.
ANOTHER REASON TO QUIT FOX
Trump’s response:
Luntz is a clown. Hes got absolutely no talent whatsoever. He came to my office looking for money. He wanted to represent me in a corporate capacity which I had no interest in whatsover. The last thing I need is focus groups from Frank Luntz who cant get himself arrested, Trump said.
When I had no interest in hiring him, he went on to do some negative focus groups on television and frankly, he shouldnt be working for Fox because hes a total conflict of interest.
Luntz shake down artist?
Time for little Frankie to get a new hair piece and job. Neither are working.
Trumps knows how to get under their skin like no one else.
FUFL
Well I still haven’t tuned into Fox, Fox Business or any articles from the network who are clearly playing favorites.
I am open to an alternative to Fox, and Fox Business.
They had me as a long-time loyal viewer for years. But not now. Even watching CNN.
Luntz just makes this worse. Fox you are completely mishandling this.
Big time.
This Frank Luntz boy can’t be to bright. Taking on The Donald.
And being f---ed over by the DC crowd does?
The way Trump turns lead into gold, Frank Luntz probably just gave him a couple more percentage points.
apparently, Trump has moved inside Frank Luntz’s brain and is living there rent free
How could you call this warm, sensitive, handsome man a fraud?
Fat slob, maybe, but fraud?
I’m still in the Cruz camp, but it is so very satisfying to watch a politician to raise such hell. To let if fly without worrying about future earnings as a career politician.
I know it, but I’m just a cold blooded something of a something...
I have also turned off FOX for good and haven’t missed it as all.
