Political pollster Frank Luntz, a “Never Trump” critic who appears frequently on major news media, had strong pushback to the Democrats’ election interference campaign against former President Donald Trump: It will backfire.
“Alright, Frank. The politics of this folks in the Biden campaign are already starting to refer to Donald Trump as broke down, which is interesting,” CNN host John Berman said. “And then there is the possibility that the New York Attorney General Letitia James would have to start or would start seizing assets, maybe even buildings. How do you think that would play?”
“I want you to remember this moment,” Luntz said. “And don’t forget it. If the New York Attorney General starts to take his homes away, starts to seize his assets, it’s all going to be on camera. Pundits are going to sit there and scream about this. ‘This man cannot be elected!’ You’re going to create the greatest victimhood of 2024 and you’re going to elect Donald Trump if they take his stuff.”
“He’s going to say that ‘this is proof that the federal government and the establishment and the swamp in Washington and all the politicians across the country and the attorneys generals and all of this, that this is a conspiracy to deny him the presidency’,” he continued. “He’s going to go up in the polls just like he went up every single time they indicted him. The indictment, let’s not talk about whether it’s justified or not, but it will prove the things that he’s saying on the campaign trail.”
“And he will go up and it may just elect him. President, do not forget that,” he added. “And I say this to the Attorney General right now, if you play politics on this, this is what the Secretary of State did in Colorado and what they did in I believe was Maine. His numbers went up in both states. I don’t understand.”
“I’m almost speechless in how pathetic the opposition to Trump has been and how completely misguided, and this is a perfect example of it,” he went on.
After the CNN panel debated some inconsequential points, Luntz chimed back in with the relevant question.
“How is Donald Trump beating Joe Biden?” he asked. “He’s got 85 indictments that still exist. Felonies. How is he beating Joe Biden with the economy getting better and things cleaning up? Okay, you’ve still got a bit of inflation. You still have got immigration.”
“Trump is leading, and in the seven swing states, Trump is up by the margin of error in five out of seven. Why is that happening? Because his critics are stupid and they’re running a horrible campaign. And for those people who do not want Donald Trump back, they should be thankful that the people who are orchestrating his loss are as pathetic and they don’t understand the American people,” he added.
Donald Trump is beating Joe Biden soundly in a number of presidential election polls.
As reported at The Politics Brief earlier, “Biden has been receiving dismal poll numbers for months among crucial voting blocs that were key to his 2020 election, and he largely continues to lag behind Trump in national and swing-state surveys.”
“Recent polls from Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina show that Biden’s margins with independents, young individuals, black voters and Hispanics are either smaller than they were last cycle, or Trump is now leading among some groups,” the report went on, citing the DCNF analysis.
