Trump in the polls

| No Comments

People seem baffled by Donald Trump's popularity - Frank Luntz is a major Republican pollster/consultant.

From The Blaze:

Pollster Absolutely Astonished By Focus Group Results on Donald Trump: ‘My Legs Are Shaking’
Pollster Frank Luntz was left in absolute astonishment Monday night by the results of a focus group who espoused support for Republican presidential contender Donald Trump, despite watching a series of video clips which some might use to undermine his campaign.

Luntz played for the 29-person focus group a series of videos which showed apparent flip-flops, derogatory comments toward women and his brash manner when laying out policy, Time reported. The group was made up of 23 white people, three black people and three Hispanics — mostly college educated and financially comfortable.

But, despite this, most were still committed to the real estate tycoon — some even more than when they entered the room.

And the reason why is a simple one: 

“I want to put the Republican leadership behind this mirror and let them see. They need to wake up. They don’t realize how the grassroots have abandoned them,” Luntz continued, according to Time. “Donald Trump is punishment to a Republican elite that wasn’t listening to their grassroots.”

The Republicans in Congress were put there because the promised to repeal Obamacare and get this Nation's spending under control. They have failed to do so and they are trying to push the same kind of candidate that has failed for the last couple election cycles.

Time to start listening to We The People...
