Pollster Frank Luntz is the GOP darling when it comes to his focus groups for conservatives, but not even Luntz can polish the steaming pile Trump has handed him.
“He was my first choice. But just along the way, he has — I guess you can say he’s lost me,” one focus grouper told Luntz in a video that aired on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday. “I’m not saying there’s no chance of turning but he’s become outrageous. I mean, we all have thoughts, but I think he speaks without thinking.”
The collection of respondents come from Pennsylvania voters where recent polling numbers show a lead for Clinton in the swing state.
“When he initially began to run, he gave voice to a lot of the frustrations that I was feeling about how government is working or more to the point not working,” focus group member Michael said. “But since then, he’s been running as a 12-year-old and changes his positions every news cycle, so you don’t even know where he stands on the issues.”
I think that "running as a 12 year old" comment is spot on.
Despite what it might say in the Russia media THIS is the reality of what is happening with Donald Trump's popularity in this election cycle.
However I am less than impressed that many of these idiots suggest that if Donald Trump suppresses his personality and stays off Twitter that they might still consider voting for him.
It is almost like they WANT to be tricked into voting for the worst possible candidate.

Bill Maher interviews GOP pollster and "public relations guru" Frank Luntz on last night's Real Time. You might as well start grinding your teeth now.
I usually like to share the New Rules segment with all of you the day after Real Time is on, but last night I found myself fixated on his interview, which came right after the monologue, and thinking about it for the remainder of the show.
Now let me just warn you that this is rage inducing if you are even remotely liberal.
However it is also quite informative as it relates to what is happening within the Republican party regarding the damage control they are utilizing in the wake of Trump's nomination.
Notice that essentially right out of the box Luntz starts pandering to the Sanders supporters and pretending to commiserate with them over the fact that the "better" candidate did not win the nomination.
He then suggests that Sanders should have run as a third party candidate knowing full well that would have helped his Republican party candidate in the general election.
He then dramatically exaggerates the FBI's e-mail server investigation and virtually accuses FBI Director Comey of letting Hillary off because that's what the President wanted him to do.
When Bill sticks a pin in his arguments, Luntz changes the narrative and starts throwing out one straw man argument after the other, essentially trying to bury Maher in mounds of bullshit Republican talking points.
My favorite part (And by that I mean the part that I found the most irritating.) is when he attempts to paint Maher as an elitist and actually tries to smear him in the eyes of his own camera crew and employees on the show.
Luntz is a poorly bewigged, corpulent, toad-like POS (Think of Dakota Meyer in about fifteen years.) but he is very good at what he does, and watching him do it should serve as an abject lesson for those of us calling out the Republicans are their bullshit.
Because I can tell you right now that this is the guy who gives master classes in the dissemination of that bullshit.

More evidence that the Republicans are purposefully destroying the economy for political gain.
On January 20, 2009 Republican Leaders in Congress literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President Obama's Inauguration.
In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.
The Guest List:
Frank Luntz - GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX),
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX),
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA),
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R),
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R),
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R),
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R)
and Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R).
Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich
During the four hour meeting:
The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
These Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party's political platform for four long hours. No, these Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were elected to do 'the People's work' were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.
I am going to keep bringing this story up until EVERYBODY knows about it!
The Republicans are allowing Americans to go to bed hungry, fighting to keep the economy from recovering, and destroying the future of millions of their fellow citizens, for no other reason than because they hate and fear President Barack Obama, and are focused on nothing more than making sure he is a one term President.
THIS is the most important story happening right now and we need to spread it far and wide.
Please help me to do that. It really is a question of life and death for many of our fellow Americans around this nation.

So what do we think folks? New Gingrich tearing up, real or bullshit?
I have a pretty strong feeling about this, but I will keep it to myself until I hear from all of you first.

To Sean Hannity's embarrassment Iowans tell what they REALLY think of Sarah Palin jumping into the race.
The most telling part is AFTER Hannity gets schooled about Palin's true appeal and Frank Luntz steps in to demonstrate how Fate how Fox News manipulates reality to support the myth of Palin' popularity.
This is a VERY revealing piece of footage.
