Welcome to the Election From Hell
Time ^ | 5/26/16 | Frank Luntz

Posted on 05/26/2016 12:37:46 PM PDT by Angels27

Voters demand that politicians speak as angrily and as disrespectfully as the voters feel.

As a professional focus group moderator, I’m about to make an admission that could cost me clients and even a career: I’ve lost control.

Northeastern moms are mad. California Tree Huggers are ticked off. Born Again Iowans are irate. I’ve led three dozen focus groups in more than a dozen states this year, and trying to moderate and mediate a sensible discussion about politics has become like feeding time at the crocodile enclosure. The moment a contentious topic is introduced, a cacophony of voices spew forward in rapid crescendo, each one louder and more breathless than the last. Within minutes, everyone is yelling, no one is listening and nothing is resolved. The public may despise most members of Congress, but we’ve sure gotten good at emulating them.

What's the point in even having a "focus group" if you're just going to herd them along like sheep?

IOW, you’re a Fat Putz.

Personally I’m lov’n this election! Uniparty unmasked! A Strong Reagan like voice defending “US”. Illary getting slowly roasted and feeling the Burn. Bill the Rapist being exposed to a new generation of safe zone inhabitants and learning his wife was Pro-Bill and anti-woman! Pocahontas the real estate speculator! Beck snorting Cheetos and now calling for a political assignation! People learning the truth about is-SCAM!

Hell I ran out of popcorn weeks ago!-)

Maybe it is time we dissolved the Republic so that different groups can go their separate ways?

We’re sick of being “massaged” into giving up our country without a fight by people like you, Frank.

Does Frank Luntz honestly think the portion of the electorate which has been the most dumped upon, paid the lion’s share of the taxes and told to sit down and shut up because they are racist and “we won” for the last eight years to behave any other way?

Clearly Luntz the Dunce has no clue. Put him out in the ash bin of history.

This guy continues to make death threats on Trump, and nothing is done. Why, you ask? Black privilege.

Gee Frankie maybe you and the rest of the DC clown posse should of stopped “managing” and started LISTENING a decade ago. You might of heard what the voters were saying then and they would not be so pissed off at you all now
