Fox’s Luntz blasted Trump at Koch Seminar (Luntz F-Bombs on Trump)
Politico ^ | 3-18-2015 | Hadas Gold and Kenneth P. Vogel

Donald Trump’s feud with GOP pollster Frank Luntz escalated Monday – with Trump calling on Fox News to fire Luntz from overseeing its post-debate focus groups, and Luntz launching a profanity-laden tirade to describe the real estate showman turned renegade presidential candidate.

In an interview with POLITICO, Luntz said Trump — and Democratic presidential insurgent Bernie Sanders — are “delivering a big ‘f—- you’ to the elites in America.

“And that resonates on both sides,” Luntz said. “But ‘f—- you’ doesn’t solve anything. ‘F—- you’ doesn’t make life any better. ‘F—- you’ makes you feel good, but it doesn’t get you where you need to go. ‘F—- you’ doesn’t make America strong. ‘F—- you’ doesn’t solve anything.”

Trump responded by accusing Luntz of harboring a long-held vendetta because Trump refused to do business with Luntz’s polling firm.

“I caught him cold,” Trump told POLITICO. “And frankly, if I was [Fox News President] Roger Ailes, I’d fire that guy so fast for what he did that his head would spin.”

Luntz makes his living getting paid by the pols, and Trump didn't hire him, so he is trying to DESTROY him.

The Luntz "focus Group" now appears to have been a setup from the beginning.

ANOTHER REASON TO QUIT FOX

Trump’s response:

“Luntz is a clown. He’s got absolutely no talent whatsoever. He came to my office looking for money. He wanted to represent me in a corporate capacity which I had no interest in whatsover. The last thing I need is focus groups from Frank Luntz who can’t get himself arrested,” Trump said.

“When I had no interest in hiring him, he went on to do some negative focus groups on television and frankly, he shouldn’t be working for Fox because he’s a total conflict of interest.”

Well I still haven’t tuned into Fox, Fox Business or any articles from the network who are clearly playing favorites.

I am open to an alternative to Fox, and Fox Business.

They had me as a long-time loyal viewer for years. But not now. Even watching CNN.

Luntz just makes this worse. Fox you are completely mishandling this.

Big time.

The way Trump turns lead into gold, Frank Luntz probably just gave him a couple more percentage points.

Luntz is a fraud.

How could you call this warm, sensitive, handsome man a fraud?

Fat slob, maybe, but fraud?

I’m still in the Cruz camp, but it is so very satisfying to watch a politician to raise such hell. To let if fly without worrying about future earnings as a career politician.

Okay. That could by why both are soaring in the polls.

Too many saw through Luntz's last focus group. It was a bit too prompted/staged, it seems.
