When it comes to GOP failings,
Tucker Carlson names a name

never did like that little twerp with the bad..............rug!!!!!!!!!!!!

Principles are not generated by focus groups. Consultants. Political science C students at overpriced colleges.

Pretty sad day when you don't who or what to trust. It's getting to the point that we can't believe anything or anybody. I never did believe polls. I figured that the poll results were biased based on who paid for the poll and who would benefit by the results even if a poll was really taken. I yearn for the "good old days" when honesty was a virtue !!

Tucker saw what we saw years ago. When Luntz comes on I flip the channel...he reminds me of Chris Wallace ...do they use the same hair salon?

McCarthy has never been trustworthy and according to Elaine nor spongeworthy.

Must watch Penn and Teller clip if you can handle the language. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If9EWDB_zK4 Apparently Luntz the putz takes credit for the 1994 contract with America

Putting Luntz's allegiances and paymasters aside for a moment...he's always been a huckster and a fraud. His little knob-twiddling device was like a cheap Star Trek prop. Twist right for good words, left for bad. He held the resulting graph paper up like it was the Ten Commandments. 'Compassionate' - oh I like that. 'Hard choices' - oh I don't like that etc. It reduced politics and policy to buzzword bingo. It oversimplified to the point of incoherence. The maddening repetition of catchphrases aka talking points on both sides can be blame in large part on Luntz who encourage pols to issue word salads not actual speeches.

#2, to be honest, I got a "C" in political science in college but not because I was dumb. I got a "C" because I argued with the leftist (communist sympathizer) "professor" who used his position to indoctrinate and manipulate his students. I actually knew a LOT MORE about the subject and about history than he could ever hope to know (thanks to growing up with an extremely intelligent and highly educated mother {God rest her beautiful soul} who always had the news and talk radio on all my childhood and discussed all subjects with me every day. I was so lucky to have her in my life! Anyway, I would be more concerned about the "A" students of Poli-Sci considering how most of these profs on the subject are hardcore lefties.

Read "Tucker Carlson Takes On Frank Luntz" at Conservative Treehouse. Sundance remains "suspicious": "Everything Carlson notes is accurate; the expose’ is absolutely correct; but I cannot stop wondering why now? …And why Tucker Carlson? Carlson was always a member of the approved DeceptiCon establishment. This reversal doesn’t seem real."

Tucker Carlson is also a "corporate servant"... Don't be fooled by Tucker, he showed his true colors between Nov 6th and Nov 10th. He says what he is ALLOWED to say. FOX and their talking puppies can all go to hell.

Luntz is a symptom of the problem not the root. The root is a leadership that does not know its base or more importantly does not care to know what we think. McCarthy and McConnell are nothing but political animals whose reason for existence is whatever benefits them. McCarthy will say the right things sometimes but does he believe what he is saying or is it done for expediency’s sake? McConnell believes he can just hover above it all because he is too important to get down and dirty on behalf of the people he represents. Both men are and have been opportunists unwilling to take the fight to the destructive democrats. They are neither leaders or fighters but preservationists whose sole purpose is to walk the fine line of loyalty to conservatism without actually being willing to to solidly put their feet down on the side of conservative principles. McCarthy’s protection of Liz Chaney is a perfect example. He should have sidelined her when she trashed President Trump. Instead, she was up at the podium taking a turn at speaking. What message did that send? It certainly was not one of unity. McConnell’s announcement of his support for impeachment of the President after the 2020 election when the democrats were floating that idea was appalling. I was incensed by these two examples not because they were specifically aimed at President Trump but because they created a breach in the party. There is little unity in the Republican Party because they are so busy jockeying for position and air time that they lose sight of their job which is to represent we the people. It’s pretty clear where the people stand on the issues of the day. It doesn’t take an Einstein to point them out. Clearly, these two don’t care to know. They are too busy trying to pretend to be in tune with the base, McCarthy more than McConnell who really doesn’t care what we think or want. The fact that Luntz is still influential in the party to such an extent that he is able to speak at their meeting is a disgrace. This is just another example of the fools in DC playing the same games they always have played and getting the same darn results. Our party is dire need of good solid conservative leadership and if that had been the case when we held the House and Senate, we would not be in the shape we are now. Cowardly and self-serving leadership could not stand that an outsider had the courage to actually work for the good of the American people first. We lost a huge opportunity during that time. Just imagine where we would be if the party had been solidly behind President Trump from day one.

I never liked him..., there was just something about him that was creepy..,

A thousand likes for post #11. As usual, poster is spot on. Thank you.

Sometimes I miss Tucker but I will not contribute to Fox ratings for anybody. That "fair and balanced" thing died last year. Luntz has always been a putz and an amateur so if they still listen to his fabricated numbers, they are at the same level. The arrogance of the republican party is what killed them.

#11, it is not just the cowardly and self-serving leadership that is ruining the GOP. I would argue it is the vast majority of GOP politicians, not just the leadership. McCarthy and McConnell could not be in their leadership roles without the votes of the rest of the Republican members. I did not vote them in as leaders, the spineless members of the Republican Congress voted them in. Republicans are not Conservatives friends, period.

Roaring outrage here. What are we going to do about it?

I remember the reason I was impressed and attracted to Andrew Breitbart was when he said something like “ don’t just distrust Democrats and liberals, we cannot trust those who say they are speaking for us”. Appealed to my Deep State aversion.

Keep all of this in mind the next time you see Fox "News" putting Luntz on the air. Not if, but when!

The political angle isn't nearly as shocking as Luntz's reverence for Oxycontin. What does surprise is that Luntz has known Biden such a long, long time considering the age difference. Politically, however, there isn't much difference. No wonder Luntz has a replica of the Oval Office in his home. Is that akin that to a ''family altar'' a lot of Christians have in their homes? So it would appear. Another edition of the garden variety guttersnipe than usually gets elected. If you aren't a crook, why are you in politics?

Watched Network and Tomorrow Never Dies last week. Both movies have media power as a central theme. Very apropos to what we see today. One of the scenes in Network has Howard Beale on his show telling the audience that everything they "know" about life has come through the Tube. So true. So scary.

This overweight lump of lard Luntz is indeed a manifestation of today's misguided pubbie party. Agree with other commenters that he alone is not the reason why the party aligns with the corporatists. Party leadership can only blame itself. This is why wholesale housecleaning within the party is so urgently needed. In time, Lumpy Luntz will be replaced.

Luntz merely plays with facts, data, and truth and makes money by twisting the same and forcing an opinion on voters. He sells those opinions to our moral-compass free elected leaders. He's simply helping the GOP be even more feckless and making LOTS of money doing it. He basically obscures voters so that they never see the "it's too late" point before they vote, and also helps voters forget those past "it's too late" occasions which is why Mitch, et al keep being re-elected. Rinse, repeat. Remember how so very many of you loved Barr and Durham and would defend them to the death when so very few of us were warning that the two were "a cook book?" Yeah, that's the kind of stuff Luntz makes you fall for. He's the living and actual Penn and Teller clear cups and balls trick of politics and he knows most people fall for it every. single. time.

The oval office with a bedroom on the side. He has topped Bill Clinton. And his aides don't even have to be interns?

All I know is that Luntz blew whatever credibility he had on Election Night 2016 and has never got it back, and any GOP official who is still listening to Luntz deserves a good smack upside their heads. As for Carlson, while I'll give him props for being at the forefront of battling the Rats' march toward socialism and tyranny, but his past isn't clean either. There were times where he flirted with never-Trumpism, so he should be eyed with due caution.

When it comes to GOP failings, more than one name comes to mind. I think the Republican party has just as many tendencies with arrogance. They could not accept that people voted for Donald Trump and have set out to undermine him. People want a person that will truly represent them. People want someone who is sincere. The other night Tim Scott spoke for the Republican party and he had very valid points. I liked his Bible references at the end of his speech. Where I have concern about him is with the subject of racism. In his speech, he commented that black people were pulled over for no reason. So are white people. I can point to several incidents if he cares to listen. If he is going to quote Bible references, he better make certain he is not bearing false witness. I am quite concerned when he starts talking about police officers. Does he know for certain that he was being pulled over because he is black? The certainty comes if the police officer said those exact words or is Tim Scott second guessing a situation that he might be bearing false witness? So concerning the GOP? I think there are a lot of names not just Frank Luntz. I think the Democrat party is way out of touch with people and the GOP isn't too far behind them. After all, Republican voters should have had the support of the party the day after the election and they did nothing for the voters. We are still wondering. . .

There is no UNIPARTY....There is no UNIPARTY....There is no UNIPARTY....There is no UNIPARTY.... Keep repeating that and it becomes true.

This is why Tucker is the best show on FOX News and cable. Thank you Tucker for finally exposing this creep. It was always obvious to me that Luntz was not a conservative or a Republican. He comes across like an empty suit opportunist. Frankly, I was always surprised why Hannity and others at FOX would give him time on their show. He's the quintessential nothing burger. Adios Frank.

Tucker is great. Here he exposes Luntz, McCarthy, the RNC, and leadership of the Republican Party. IT ALSO EXPOSES THAT DUFFUS HANNITY WHO CONTINUES TO HAVE PEOPLE LIKE McCarthy, Luntz, Graham and other Rinos appear nightly on his redundant, worthlesss, juvenile, time wasting show. Tucker’s next expose should be on the jerk who follows his show!!

I think we know. 90% of them. It's not exactly brain surgery.

Luntz always seemed like a creep. About the third time I heard his schtick, I decided to stop paying any attention to him.

Could that be true... you bet your uncle's farm on it....lutz is all about answering to the DC swamp folk and tells them what they want to hear...he's part of the polling cabal in DC that make their money by telling the lefties what they want to hear... nuff said!!

Its easier to read the news rather than watch some talking head on television. Its easier to parse our the news from the rhetoric, propaganda, and opinion. I will make up my own mind, thank you. I don't want anyone telling me what to think, much less what I am actually seeing, and that what talking heads do. That way I don't have to listen to people like Luntz (or Tucker Carlson for that matter). They all have agendas, and I'm not interested in them.

The GOP doesn’t need Luntz. They only need to read Lucianne.com. If they read/listened to this one forum, all their problems would be solved and America would be a much better place.

#26 - - I used to be somewhat skeptical about the Uniparty - - I couldn't quite fully believe it existed. Sometimes it seemed true - - sometimes it didn't.. But nowadays - - there is no doubt. Only a fool or a chump wouldn't believe that there is a Uniparty. They've put it brazenly on display - - shoved it in our faces. We must fight it with everything we have - - or perish.

Frank Luntz is very creepy!

Is there anyone out there for "We the People?" Oh, yeah. President Trump. That's why we love him so. No selfish agenda. He loves this country and wants to help, bless and prosper this country. There are a couple of others too. Governor Ron DeSantos and Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Not too many and these and others (women like Congresswoman Greene) are constant targets of the demonic left. And of course, Congressman Matt Gaetz. Look at who is being attacked and you will see who is on the side of the people and on the side of the law, (Rudy Guilani)

Dear Mr. kreeger (Reply #6 ) Thank you so much for that link, priceless! One may not like Penn and Teller's politics, but I have seen a few videos where they call out and nail polititians on things like the Second Amenedment. As seen here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4zE0K22zH8

Luntz lies like that rug on his head.
