VIDEOWas there a major theft recently in Washington, D.C.? Namely did Congressman Shri Thanedar who recently introduced a resolution to \ impeach Trump steal the raccoon that sits atop the head of Frank Luntz? The problem with both is that no matter what they say you just can't get your mind away from the absurd raccoon on top of their heads. Anyone wearing such a raccoon cannot be taken seriously. In fact, the congressional co-sponsors of Thanedar's impeachment resolution, including Jerry Nadler, asked to have their names REMOVED as co-sponsors. Meanwhile Frank Luntz has DEMANDED an APB on his raccoon.Exit...

Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz was so impressed by the record-breaking speech by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) this week that he thinks the Democratic Party may have a new leader in its midst. “I want to emphasize what Cory Booker did over the last 24 hours may have changed the course of political history,” he told NewsNation’s Leland Vittert. Booker spoke for a record 25 hours and 4 minutes as he railed against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, generating viral moments on social media. “What I saw over the last 25 hours absolutely blew me away,” Luntz admitted, then...

Susie Wiles, Donald Trump’s newly appointed chief of staff, has cemented her authority within the administration by barring Elon Musk’s attempt to secure a permanent base in the White House's West Wing. During Trump's campaign, the Former president labelled Wiles as the “ice maiden” because of her cool composure and successful work approach. However, she quickly made it clear that not everyone would be welcomed into Trump’s inner circle—especially those “who want to work solo or be a star.” Musk's increasing influence has sparked tension. Online chatter even referred to Musk as the “power behind President Trump” and jokingly dubbed...

As part of his new administration, President-elect Donald Trump has said he wants to revive Schedule F — an ultimately unsuccessful effort from the end of his first term that sought to remove civil service job protections for potentially tens of thousands of career federal employees. But based on survey data, one famous GOP pollster argued that the public would not support such a policy. Frank Luntz told attendees at a National Academy of Public Administration conference on Nov. 14 that 61% of respondents — including majorities of Democrats, Independents and Republicans — would prefer a “non-partisan, nonpoliticized civil service...

LuNTZ: THERE ABSOLUTELY IS MORE. AND THIS IS SIGNIFICANT. BECAUSE IN THE END THEY'RE TRYING UNDERCUT TRUMP'S VICTORY, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT. IT WASN'T A MANDATE, BECAUSE IT STILL ONLY 3 OR 4% VICTORY, BUT IT WAS SIGNIFICANT. IT WAS MEANINGFUL AND MEASURABLE. LuNTZ: FIRST, SHE COULD HAVE TAUGHT PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTED TOOT IN THE FIRST HOUR, THE FIRST DAY, THE FIRST WEEK, THE FIRST MONTH...

During a CNN interview Wednesday, Luntz, also known as 'The Nostradamus of pollsters,' said the Democratic nominee was doing well in the polls until she 'froze' after focusing her attention on Donald Trump. 'She had the best 60 days of any presidential candidate in modern history,' Luntz said. And then the moment she turned anti-Trump and focused on him and said 'don't vote for me, vote against him.' That's when everything froze.' Luntz added that Trump is 'defined' as he is 'not gaining' and 'not losing' in the election, while his opponent is 'less well defined.' And if she continues...

I joined BBC Newsnight to talk about Kamala Harris picking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, and what Donald Trump needs to do in order to pull out a victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

We are not fans of Kevin McCarthy’s buddy, Frank Luntz. He is not a good pollster and he’s a horrible person. But when he’s right he’s right and in this case his assessment is accurate. It highlights an important idea that must be hammered home in the minds of Republicans.

12 of the 14 undecided voters in @FrankLuntz focus group swung to President Trump after the debate. This speaks to how masterfully President Trump performed and to just how abysmal Joe Biden's performance was, with regular Americans.

Who can you put next to President Joe Biden that will make him look good? We know it’s not the G7, as Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni had to wrangle the US commander-in-chief when he threatened to drift away from the group of world leaders during a parachuting demonstration. And Saturday confirmed that former president Barack Obama isn’t the answer either, after grabbing his former VP by the wrist and guiding him by his shoulders off the stage at a Los Angeles event as Biden appeared to freeze for about five seconds. Biden’s handlers have already equipped him with special...

Top Republican pollster Frank Luntz and Ron DeSantis warned that the low GOP turnout in the Iowa caucuses is a red flag for the party and that if Donald Trump doesn't get 'new voters' then he will lose in the November election. 'Trump is going to have to show that he can get people who didn't vote for him in 2020, he's got to get new voters or he loses,' Luntz told DailyMail.com 'It's a warning sign for the party in November because the turnout was so abysmally low,' the Florida governor said on Friday. 'There's terrible enthusiasm right now.'...

Hardly a fan of former President Donald Trump, Luntz was all but forced on Friday to predict that Trump will win the 2024 presidential election. Bummer, Frank. Luntz was asked: “If you had to bet $150,000 on who's gonna win in November, who would you bet on?” To his credit, Luntz bit the bullet and answered — but oh, the grimace and body language: Luntz: I never dreamed that I would say this, but I would bet on Trump. I never, I thought it was done. I thought it was over. You don't come back from an impeachment. You don't...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that removing Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as House Speaker would be a “disaster” for his party. Graham said, “We had to keep the government open. We got 45 days to fix both problems. I listened to Kevin closely. There will come out of the Senate soon a bill that will have three legs to it: disaster funding. we need more, not less, ROBUST FUNDING FOR UKRAINE to get them through the next fighting season, not $24 billion and a major effort to secure our border. I believe there’s bipartisan support...

As Kevin McCarthy and key House committees supposedly ramp up their investigations, it's to the American people to make sure a real investigation is conducted, not one for show, demanding transparency and accountability from the Biden administration.

With all of that going on I was almost surprised to read that former GOP pollster superstar (now shunned by most of the GOP base) Frank Luntz, is worried about this country being torn asunder. Of course, not by any of the Biden or Democrat scandals, just by the possibility of Donald Trump becoming the 47th President of the United States.He vented right here about it, and I almost had trouble taking a nap after reading his concerns.Almost.“I now have to acknowledge that it is a distinct possibility that Donald Trump could be elected president – I did not believe...

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...

Frank Luntz kicked in the teeth by realization he’s been WRONG on Trump: The impossible ‘is actually happening’ June 13, 2023 | Kevin Haggerty | Print Article ShareTweetTruthGettrTelegram Reality socked pollster Frank Luntz square in the teeth and forced him to admit “Everything that I would have…said to you was impossible is actually happening,” just as new data came out about former President Donald Trump’s position in the 2024 primary. Tuesday, The Sydney Morning Herald published an interview conducted with Luntz who was in London speaking at the Centre for Policy Studies’ Margaret Thatcher conference. During the discussion, the pollster...

There's been a lot of talk among Republicans about the effect a big primary field might have on the 2024 presidential nomination race. The short version is that a big field is thought to benefit former President Donald Trump, who, as in 2016, would not have to win a majority of votes to win — a plurality, and not even a big one, would be enough. On the other hand, a small field, especially a one-on-one matchup with another candidate, say Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), might allow the challenger to defeat Trump. But now, a new poll suggests some of...

Paul Ryan's top 3 picks for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination:1. Ron DeSantis 2. Glenn Youngkin 3. Tim Scott

DeSilence is golden. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his team have ignored Donald Trump’s ongoing rhetorical offensive because they believe the former president is only damaging his own brand, an insider told “There is no upside to rolling around in the mud with Trump at this point,” the DeSantis source said. “Only downside.” DeSantis’ famously pugnacious press team has been mute about Trump’s broadsides, and offered no comment on the escalating feud on Friday. The governor himself was spotted in Daytona Beach, surveying damage caused by Tropical Storm Nicole. Fresh off pummeling Democratic challenger Charlie Crist at the polls this...
