Never-Trumper Frank Luntz just dashed Democrats’ dreams with a single sentence he hated to admit

Before he became a polling analyst for Fox News, CNN, and CBS Frank Luntz worked to help craft Republican candidates’ messaging in elections dating all the way back to 1992.

But that changed when Donald Trump turned over his ruling class RINO pals’ apple cart.

Now Never-Trump Frank Luntz just dashed Democrat dreams with a single sentence that he hated to admit. 

What happened to Frank Luntz? 

In the lead up to the 2020 election, with former President Donald Trump’s re-election hopes hanging in the balance, pollster Frank Luntz was asked a very direct question in an interview with Politico.

“What does it mean to be a Republican?” a Politico’s reporter asked.

Seems like an easy answer for a man who worked for the likes of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich – not to mention his decades of studying voter behaviors. 

“You know, I don’t have a history of dodging questions,” Luntz began. “But I don’t know how to answer that. There is no consistent philosophy. You can’t say it’s about making America great again at a time of Covid and economic distress and social unrest. It’s just not credible.”

Much like Democrat politicians, their allies in the media, and the woke left-wing outrage mob on social media, Luntz blamed the COVID pandemic on Trump. 

Just like that he gave up on being a Republican. 

“I think it’s about promoting—But I can’t, I don’t—That’s the best I can do,” Luntz continued. “I’ve tried to give you an answer and I can’t do it. You can ask it any different way. But I don’t know the answer. For the first time in my life, I don’t know the answer.”

The answer actually is pretty easy. 

Since 2016, if not a little earlier, the grassroots of the GOP have been about putting America First. 

That means no entanglements in foreign conflicts that don’t benefit American citizens, a strong border and merit-based immigration system, fair trade agreements with other nations, law and order, economic policies that advantage working class Americans, and common-sense social policies that emphasize family values, tradition, and truth. 

But apparently that’s not an agenda Luntz can get behind. 

So you can just imagine how it pained him to have to admit that Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t doing as well as Democrats and their media allies have portrayed.

Kamala’s honeymoon phase could be over already 

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign of “joy” and “vibes” while ducking tough questions and allowing Democrats’ media allies to carry her water may have hit its stride. 

It worked at first as Democrats rejoiced about President Joe Biden ending his re-election campaign and many low-information voters giving the replacement candidate a first look. 

Biden’s Border Czar instantly turned what was beginning to look like a foregone conclusion of an election into a serious race. 

Kamala even pulled ahead in many national and battleground state polls.

But the Democrat Vice President failed to receive the bounce that is typical following a nominating convention. 

Instead of introducing voters to Kamala, her vision for America and explaining why it would be any different than the past nearly four-years of the Biden-Harris Administration, the Democrat National Convention was like a rap concert, focusing on good feelings and bashing Donald Trump. 

Frank Luntz is wishing it was more. 

Luntz compares Kamala to Hillary 

Polymarket has the former President retaking the lead against the Vice President, 50-48. 

Additionally, according to Polymarket, Trump has a better chance of winning than Kamala does in five of the top-seven battleground states. 

Swing State Odds (% Chance of Winning):

Georgia – 🔴 Trump 61-39%
North Carolina – 🔴 Trump 61-39%
Arizona – 🔴 Trump 55-45%
Nevada – 🔴 Trump 53-47%
Pennsylvania – 🔴 Trump 51-49%
Wisconsin – 🔵 Harris 57-43%
Michigan – 🔵 Harris 61-39%

Luntz believes the novelty is already wearing off of the Kamala campaign. 

He told Townhall that Kamala’s honeymoon phase “looks like it has reached its peak.”

“[Trump] actually stopped falling,” Luntz said. “Even though they had a pretty strong convention last week, it looks like the Harris boomlet has reached its peak — with her having roughly a three-point advantage.” 

The “three-point advantage” data seems old at this point, but even at that, the number reminded Luntz of another election Trump was supposedly “sure to lose.”

“I remind you that that was the advantage that Hillary Clinton had over Donald Trump on Election Day 2016,” Luntz warned. “And he still beat her in the electoral college. This election is way too close to call.”
