Donald Trump wants Fox News star 'fired'
World Net Daily ^ | 8/18/2015 | Cheryl Chumley

Posted on 08/18/2015 3:52:09 PM PDT by stars & stripes forever

Donald Trump has a message he’d like to give Fox News political pollster Frank Luntz: You’re fired.

Fresh off his confrontation with Fox News superstar Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump is now lashing out at Luntz and calling on Fox News to fire him from overseeing its post-debate focus groups.

The participants in Luntz’s focus group bashed the real-estate mogul’s performance during the Fox News Republican presidential debate on Aug. 6, calling Trump “mean” and “bombastic.” Trump was quick to criticize the focus group, calling Luntz a “clown” and a “low class slob” on Twitter.

It has now come to light that prior to the debate, Luntz allegedly told attendees at a South Carolina fundraiser that Trump is “addicted” to attention and could hurt the Republican Party, according to Politico.

Any body with 2 brain cells to rub together knows that one debate does not turn a supporter into an absolute non-supporter.
The Luntz the Dunce panel was a set up even before the so called debate.

I guess I would take exception to the fact that Cluntz is considered a “star” on FOX. Cluntz use to be a main stay at MSNBC when ever they wanted to slam a Rep...he’s just now doing it for FOX instead

Kelly is on vacation. Are you saying lund or Luntz is a prostitute. Really a prostitute? Come now least be real is Luntz selling himself for sex. Okay maybe the focus groups are over the top but to go again after Kelly. Gee Obama is on vacation too, why not go after him too. it is not like he has not had a vacation in 3 months or even 3 days The guy goes on more vacations than he works!

Saying that he’d fire Luntz if he were Roger is not the same thing as saying he wants him fired.

Bad, unfair and sensationalistic headline by WND.

If you read the story all it says is that if Trump were Roger Ailes he would fire him.

The TDS is rampant again on FR.

They pulled that same routine with Newt Gingrich in 2012. Any time you see Megyn Kelly or Luntz with a group of people asking their opinions, that is the hit job which is supposed to fool the viewers.

Using the term 'prostitute' in a political narrative goes back at least to the 1920's and probably even earlier. I would call you and the rest of your little sock tag team prostitutes, but...that goes without saying.

Get your handler to help you with the big words.

Trump towers.

Frank Luntz is a liberal troll and Fox News is again showing how anti-conservative it has become. Yea for the Donald to expose this s___t. I’m so fricken tired of this.

“Now anyone that disagrees with Trump or questions him is attacked as being a loser or is called stupid and then the trumpeters go after them viciously.”

No, you have that backwards. Trump counter punches. Luntz drew first blood, and he did not do that with a mere question or disagreement. He has been trying to shaft Trump for a long time.

“The Donald is being exposed by FOX News”

So far the exposure has helped Trump.

Trump isn’t my guy, but he comes way ahead of the serial apologizers.

He wasn't my guy either. Cruz is my guy. He's the only one I send money to. But Trump knows how to find competent people and how to delegate. He seems to be picking all the right people as advisers. He could be a really good, conservative president if he picks the right people and lets them do their jobs.

I'm not looking at him with a jaundiced eye anymore.

No. Not petty at all. If it exposes a biased poll by Fox, it is extremely relevant to the Fox News Corporation and news in general.

The same thing for me as well. Newsmax and a little CNN now and then since the debate.

The Democrats are childish and petty. That’s how they always get their way. They always make the Republicrats compromise.

Compromise means you don’t get what you want. Time to get childish and petty and get what we want.

It’s not wasted time. When any organization or person stacks the deck in election matters, the situation needs to be exposed. If Luntz is doing this, and judging by his post-debate focus group he is, it’s wrong. It gives the appearance of fair input from citizens when it isn’t. Why should the watcher be bamboozled? I resent it.

For the same reason that consumers and PC groups can cause the removal or firing of ppl in business. Here, the individual wields one helluva lot of power and exposure. It matters!! Don’t be naïve.

It’s a strategy by Trump to try and prevent others networks for attempting to do the same. Maybe now the MSM will be more honest with these so-called “focus groups.”

The same with Trump supposedly firing Stone. I believe it was a strategy for Stone to be a regular commentator/adviser for Trump on the outside.
