Pollster On Trump: "This Is Real"

Frank Luntz

A focus group of Donald Trump supporters left Republican pollster Frank Luntz stunned. "This is real," said Luntz after the group of 29 people was undeterred by a series of unflattering clips of Trump.

"I'm having trouble processing it. Like, my legs are shaking."

Time reports the videos Luntz showed the group were supposed to damage their view of him, packed with clips of his apparent flip-flops, "sexism," and narcissism. Instead of diminishing the supporters' opinion on the Republican frontrunner, however, a strong majority of them said they only liked him more after the smear attempt.

Quote from Focus Group Participant

 This 29-person focus group, conducted by Luntz and observed by a group of national press reporters from behind a pane of one-way glass, had gathered to explain the phenomenon of Trump. Why is a billionaire real estate mogul, TV celebrity and oft-accused demagogue who has never held office leading the Republican field with some 22% support in the polls?

One Word Descriptions of Republican Party

"You guys understand how significant this is?" Luntz exlaimed to the press after his exchange with the Trump supporters. "This is real. I'm having trouble processing it. Like, my legs are shaking."

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

One Word Descriptions of Donald Trump

The group of 29 pro-Trump voters consisted of 23 Caucasions, 3 African Americans and 3 Hispanics. Perhaps the most revealing moment was when Luntz asked the group to give one-word descriptions of the Republican party and Donald Trump.
