GOP pollster says Trump voters ‘tired’ of being accused of racism

Dumbest Thing I've Ever Heard: 8/8/2023
Fifth Place: Frank Luntz
"This is not the party that I that I joined 40 years ago," said Republican pollster Frank Luntz on the topic of Donald Trump, specifically in reference to his strong support of Russia. Of course, Luntz seems to want us to forget that he got his start in politics working for the campaign of the nationalist and self-described neo-isolationist Pat Buchanan back in 1992, who has also been a stern defended of Putin throughout his life.
Fourth Place: Ron DeSantis
Ron DeSantis is not going to be President, I am certain of that--and I knew it from day one. The people who want somebody with his policies want Donald Trump and the people who want somebody who isn't Donald Trump don't like how similar he is to Trump, it's the same issue Warren had back in 2020 (anybody to her left went to Sanders and anybody to her right went to Biden).
This was confirmed once again today through a Mediaite article which documents that DeSantis has now fallen behind Vivek Ramaswamy in terms of betting odds! Ramaswamy, of course, also has no shot at the Republican nomination, let alone the Presidency as the polls have constantly made it clear that the only person who can win the primary is Donald Trump. Still, this is yet another piece of bad news for DeSantis, and nothing about his campaign has shown he has any chance at getting the nomination short of Donald Trump dropping out--and even then, that wouldn't be guaranteed.
Third Place: Tommy Tuberville
Did you know that a sitting United States Senator isn't a politician? Because that's what Tommy Tuberville said on Laura Ingraham's show last night! I don't even have a joke for this one, it's just really dumb.
Second Place: Matt Walsh
Media Matters caught this line from Matt's show today where he proves he is, quite literally, panphobic:
This is just creepy. I gotta say. It's made up, obviously. That's the main thing. Pansexual is not a thing. It's not real. It's also creepy. I'm able to be attracted to anyone, he says. Ew. Like, calm down. That -- I can walk into a room and just be attracted -- just the way he phrases it, to me, makes it creepier. I am able to be attracted to anyone. Like, this is some sort of superpower that he has. I can walk into a room and be attracted to anyone or anything. Okay? Just watch me. You don't think I can? Not something to be proud of, man. That's -- the fact that you're in a constant state of arousal is not something you want to brag about in the news. It's not open minded. It's just weird.
Matt goes on like this for awhile, not getting that being attracted to people regardless of their gender identity--which is what pansexuality actually is--is not the same as literally being attracted to all human beings everywhere. Matt, it seems, does not understand that if a pansexual says they're "attracted to anybody" they're speaking metaphorically.
First Place: Jack Goldsmith
Another New York Times opinion piece, this time by a member of the George W. Bush Administration who is warning against prosecuting Donald Trump, most likely because that means they might also go after the Republican Administration he worked for.
You see, according to the article, if Donald Trump is convicted of a crime--that means Republicans won't trust the same justice system they stopped trusting when it refused to allow Donald Trump to remain President despite losing the 2020 Presidential Election.
Jack Goldsmith, you've said the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
'Clearly by that Trump is the preferred candidate'
Jennifer from Michigan said Trump "has knowledge and a skill set to actually bring us ahead. I think that prior to COVID ... the first three years of his presidency, he was doing great. And then COVID happened, and our economy has obviously gone into the tanker ... and if there's somebody who's going to get us out, I believe it's going to be him."
Elizabeth from Georgia said that before the coronavirus pandemic, the economy was "better than it has been before. Our 401Ks have grown like crazy, and even in this pandemic look at the stock market — it's crazy. Everybody had jobs ... and here in Georgia, everybody can still have a job. Everywhere I go there's 'help wanted' signs, everywhere."
Tasha from Ohio said that navigating the economy "will take a special skill set" and that Trump "has shown us that he can recover in many different areas."
A tweet from Luntz offered some words from focus group members to describe Trump and Biden based on their debate performance:
Oh, and I didn’t link to the tweet because now it’s gone 🙃
Yesterday, Jesse Kelly — a common conservative talk show host — shared a tweet about the idiotic “OperationGridlock" protest in Michigan. He declared that a “storm was coming" and he'd tried to warn us in our "NYC/DC bubble" but we wouldn't shut up about the virus that was killing people in that bubble. Now real Americans are fed up with the shutdowns that dragged on longer than Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. It's time to reopen America, damnit. People wearing plaid demand it.
Pollster Frank Luntz responded to Kelly's tweet with data, which is like kryptonite to a conservative.

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski was dumbfounded by comments made in a focus group of undecided voters.
Republican pollster Frank Luntz moderated a discussion with the focus group of Generation Z voters who still had not made up their minds about voting for Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, and the "Morning Joe" co-host sighed deeply at the conclusion of their discussion.
"In my opinion, the more I look back, the more I watch the debate, the more I look into her campaign, I cannot trust her," said one of the panelists. "I'm never going to vote for Trump, but the more I think about it, the more I don't think I can vote for Harris. I do not trust her. I'm more inclined to write in someone who would best represent my vote."

Frank Luntz went on the record to predict that Kamala Harris will clinch the White House in November following Trump’s ‘pretty negative performance’ on the debate stage on Tuesday night
Longtime GOP pollster Frank Luntz has predicted that Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign is now over after he gave “very close” to the worst debate performance ever seen on Tuesday night.
“It was a pretty negative performance – pretty pessimistic, cynical, contemptuous,” Luntz said on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday. “And I think that this will cost him.”

Former President George W. Bush chief strategist Matthew Dowd issued an Americans a warning against any election 2024 data presented by longtime GOP pollster Frank Luntz after the ex-Fox News contributor predicted that Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Jr. can help win the White House for Donald Trump.
Dowd on Saturday night wrote in a post published to X: "Please, please ignore anything Frank Luntz says... no matter if it is good or bad. he is a grifter who makes up most of his data. and has been wrong in nearly every election."
