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 new Dick Morris, another putz.
I hope Trump squashes him. Luntz is an ugly little bug. I’m sick of his fake focus groups.
What you have to love about Trump is he brings everyone out in the open and forces them to take a stand.
Luntz is like all these other so called “experts” that spout their uniformed opinions. They have no real world experience to which to draw. They are academia shills.
“Luntz makes his living getting paid by the pols, and Trump didn’t hire him, so he is trying to DESTROY him. “
This alone proves that Trump did the right thing by not hiring Luntz. By the way, Luntz, you picked the wrong guy to trash. Your business requires you to stay on good terms with people like Trump.....people who can rip your arm off and make you swallow it : )
How does that happen?
They confirm each other. Fox News “trust worthy”, Luntz “the expert, and whoever the pre-sellected RINO is that we are suppose to vote for.
The family man who has a family to raise, who works 50-70 hours a week, has limited time in the day to figure out who he should vote for, tunes in to his “trust worthy” new network and hears the “expert” on he “trust worthy” tell him that the pre-sellected RINO is the best choice.
I take it you don’t like Luntz either : )
I don't think that Will and Krouthammer are liars...they 're just clueless. They've lived in the bubble for so long that they just don't know the country anymore.
“The Donald is going to completely ruin this guy and his polls...”
My thinking too.
Whoraldo etc etc
I don’t think they even believe what they say. They say it because they’re paid to say it on FOX news. They say the GOPe line for a living.
I also will not be subject to uncontrolled verbal abuse in my own frontroom, so any Fox show with those two violent crazies, Juan Williams and Whorealdo Rivera, is immediately turned off. Even BOR went into an almost hysterical fit on his show last night.
One by one (probably due to the lefty Murdoch brothers who have now assumed the day-to-day operation of the network) a good number of the Fox regular pundits and contributors are veering to the left....and the network has now become an acceptable platform for a continual parade of activist radical, socialist and marxist guests to spread their deadly propaganda just like they do on CNN. TV cable news appears to be becoming more and more extreme and unhinged almost every day.
I find I'm now depending upon FR, Breitbart and a few other sites for my news and views....and my central nervous system is all the better for it, LOL.

It will be instructive to keep an eye on how Luntz fares with Ailes now that Trump has painted a target on him.
I think its even easier than that ..... there does not have to be any kind of agreement to take down Trump
Once you leave the smoke filled rooms of FR you will encounter a great number of people who think Trump has a screw or two loose.
Some of those people were in Lunt’s focus group but many of them went in thinking Trump was ok...
They did not agree with FR that Megyn Kelly was a mean moderator out to get Trump (in fact if any of them were aware of Megyn Kelly they knew she was just being Megyn Kelly...she built her name on doing that very thing)
The people in the group reacted negatively to Mr Trump (it happens....and it will continue to happen the more Trump goes to war with every one who doesn’t agree with him.)
I remember when Newt and the boys took over, man they were the good guys, Armey, Boehner, Lott, and all his singing Senators, Even Orin Hatch, and Lutz was the guru that foretold their victory.
Boy was I a naive putz.
They all have let us down, turned into K-Street toadies, or have become gelded weasels.
I don't know why I still care and look at politics other than I try to be a vanguard to stop some of this so my progeny can potentially know America's greatness.
DC and all it's players stink so bad my nose is so immune to the stench I should get a job with Rotor Rotor cleaning Septic Systems because it would be a step up, and at least I'd get paid..
I tried the Fox Debate app.
Got board with it, and quit about 15 minutes in. There was no way to register your opinion of the “moderators”.
