Frank Luntz: ‘I Was Wrong, ‘Strong’ Trump Can Win 2024.’
The National Pulse ^ | 06/14/2023 | JAKE WELCH

Posted on 06/14/2023 7:09:18 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Frank Luntz – a long-time ‘RINO’ Republican pollster and roommate to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy – has admitted the falsehoods of his prior political prognostications about Donald Trump, and is now warning his globalist cronies that the former President could win the White House in 2024.

In 2021, Luntz argued, “Trump is the most popular Republican by far, but he can’t win a general election because in the end politics is about persona as much as it is about policy, and his persona is unacceptable to too many people.”

Adding, “[i]f Trump runs again he will be nominated by the Republicans, “but he will never be elected president because there are too many people who hate him.”

However, following the political persecution of the former President, he now claims, “I now have to acknowledge that it is a distinct possibility that Donald Trump could be elected president – I did not believe that one year ago.”

“I did not believe that the search of Mar-a-Lago would be handled so badly, I did not believe that the indictment of him in New York would be handled so badly,” Luntz continued.

“So he’s actually stronger today under two indictments, being found guilty of sexual assault, he’s actually politically stronger today than he was one year ago,” he added.

Trump was not, in fact, found guilty of sexual assault but rather “liable” for “sexual abuse” in the E Jean Carroll case. He was found not liable for the main claim, an accusation of rape.

I’d love to believe that but the powers to be won’t allow it. The republicans willingly looked the other way for years while the democrats/Soros built a rigged system. The republicans Texas impeachment Ken Paxton who was the first to spot who Soros was using his people to destroy the voting system. Eric Holder just said the electoral college will decide the 2024 race. That’s really all you need to know.

If you voted for the Messiah you could not possibly be racist like the rest of those Whites.

“I sometimes wondered how many of the votes (for Obama) were from those who wanted to virtue signal their non racism.”

My MIL was one of them. “Why don’t we just give that nice young black man a chance?” I didn’t speak to her for a year.

That was the message, sent out by controllers, and swallowed whole by the weak minded.

“A year? You are forgiving!”

Well, she got pitiful and ill and, as a Christian, I needed to help Hubby get through it, emotionally and with her care. She died a couple years later. (But I’m still pissed — in a Christian way, of course. LOL!)

His opponent was the most hated in the country. He had the easies competitor. Even democrats didn’t vote for her in many cases.

"being found guilty of sexual assault"

As much as I dislike Trump, this statement is false.

“Or else they are going to Total War because they are under existential threat.”


That’s the answer. War solves their problems (not ours, mind you, or those of billions worldwide, but theirs). They can/will, under the umbrella of national security and new wartime regulations, completely finish covering up their crimes (including ongoing kickbacks in the billions for “aid” to Ukraine); they will use these laws and regulations to shut their opponents up (some permanently and with extreme prejudice), and they will whip up nationalism (which is only good if “we” use it, not those evil conservatives) to such an extent that any complaints about their corruption and other law-breaking will be memory-holed in very short order. Oh, and their cut of what we’ll spend on the military during WW3 (assuming that we still have a functional society after it ends) will make their corruption during Iraq/Afghanistan, and Ukraine since then, pale into insignificance.

We’re going to war, count on it. IMHO, the beginning of WW3 will be dated to the Russian invasion of Ukraine - IOW, we’re in it’s early stages right now. But the arrogance of our “leaders” is so astounding that we may very well lose - not just battles, but EVERYTHING. If we get EMP’d, our society is over, period. 60% - 90% dead within a year, per the EMP Commission, 18 years ago (and we’ve done diddly since then to avoid or ameliorate those effects). Alternatively, China and Russia could nuke our missile silos, sub pens and major naval bases and airbases, and then say, “Americans, we have 2,000 nuclear weapons left, and unless you surrender to us, we will nuke every city of yours with 50,000 or more people. We’ll have a couple of subs left at sea, and pretty much nothing else. Our choice will be between accepting 10 million dead and 250 million dead.

We have had $hit leadership (except for Trump) since Reagan left office, and it keeps getting worse as they get more corrupt and out-of-touch.

“hasn’t this guy been wrong about pretty much everything?”

Was thinking the same. Worry, folks. Luntz is a contrarian indicator.

NOPE... because if that was true, Joe would still be a lifeguard and we all know where Kamala would be

“So he’s actually stronger today..."

And Biden gets weaker every day both cognitively and due to disastrous policies.

If Trump can't win in the general election, why are Democrats so desperate to take him out of the race?

Real journalist would be asking Luntz that question.

They have the fake news and the courts, so even if all their cheating fails, they will just call it for the Democrat anyway.

ABCNNBCBS will report that the Democrat won, we will challenge it, and the courts will throw it out for lack of standing.

We will be left standing there with our jaws dropped saying WTF, just like last time.

They don’t need machines or fake ballots - they just need to be able to lie and get away with it - and the fake news and the fake DOJ allows them to do that.

It is worth noting that the 1992 election was skewed by having the Commission on Presidential Debates allow Ross Perot to stand on the debate stage as a third party candidate.

The schemers knew that Perot would draw votes from the Bush Sr. base and allow Clinton to win with less than a majority of the national vote.

This kind of tinkering has been continuous and ongoing. It’s also important to understand that most of America’s urban centers have been controlled by Democrats for decades and voting manipulations have been an expected reality. It almost certainly helped JFK defeat Nixon in 1960.
