When they out Luntz as a secret liberal the shark has been well and truly jumped...

Don't tread on it, friends; it's doing a fine job of that itself.

Let me find it somewhere else

I haven’t seen him for many years now, but I doubt his overall attitude has changed on anything.

Frank is the ultimate mercenary. He was already making (in private) noises 15 years ago about how dismayed he was about the toxic state of American politics. But he never let his personal views get in the way of his business.

He recognized long ago that he possessed certain very marketable skills, and sold them to the highest bidder. The Republicans always had more money than we did, and so he works for them. He is the epitome of the man that cries all the way to the bank. His point of view, except in moments of rare candor, when the microphones and cameras are off, is that of whoever is paying for his services. Republican extremists can yell and scream all they want. They don’t pay Frank’s bills, and they therefore have no influence on his public statements or stances. If the DNC suddenly had fifty billion dollars to spend, and they were willing to spend a couple billion with Frank, you’d be amazed at how quickly the Biden agenda found its newest, and most skillful spokesman. The right would yell and scream because Frank had become a traitor, but that would be outright wrong. He worked them because they paid more. He’d work for us if we paid more, although at this point, he has worked for them for so long, I doubt many on our side would believe a sudden “seeing-the-light” on his part. Show him the light, show him the darkness, he doesn’t care. Show him the money. THAT is what he cares about.

Have you ever talked to him when there is no one recording the conversation? He has no ideology other than getting incredibly well paid for what he does. Unless you have talked to him more recently than I have, he is no more conservative than you or I. He cares nothing about political ideology except as a tool of his trade. He is no more concerned about conservative politics than a surgeon is concerned about his scalpel. Without it, he can’t do the job he is paid to do. He has no emotional attachment to it.

it's all an act

The guy must have an IQ approaching 200. He can be anything he wants to be.

Scary enough to wish he wasn't working for the other side.

And yes, I say so. I've been around the guy enough to know whether or not he's a mere snake oil salesman or a smart strategist whose intelligence goes WAY beyond street smarts. You don't have to take my word for it, but my impressions come from having the guy sit right in front of me when there are no TV cameras on or any microphones recording his words. You get your opinions from wherever you get them, and I'll get mine from where I get them. If they differ, then they differ.

Maybe last weekend, that focused on his recent activities and he said that he had a stroke or something in the past few years and has had a bit of a self realization. But that said, he will never be able to lose the stench of his past dealings.

I’m quite sure that he is content to live with that. He made his choice long ago.

"I saw the warning signs but ignored them and chose to believe what I wanted to believe: the party wasn't just a white grievance party, there was still a big tent; the other guys were worse. Mostly though, I just didn't think about it. I loved to win and I won a lot. I loved the feeling that I had a big lever and could move if not the world, then a big enough hunk of it to make a difference."

From "It Was All a Lie"

He has had a clear vision of who he was working for the whole time. As a total mercenary, he knew perfectly well who was paying the bills. He just did what he was paid to do. It would take an evil of truly monstrous proportions to get him to even start to feel that maybe his lack of emotion had let him go too far.

There is fealty only to Trump. Republican royalty like Luntz and Liz Cheney Are now enemies to them, just because they don't worship trump.

That's great for the rest of us. Frank luntz with Newt Gingrich did enormous damage not just to the government of our nation but also to our language by coming up with buzz words that excited the twisted libidos Of their sick GOPer hordes.

They hated that his "focus groups" would DARE to include anyone that WASNT a republican.

I don't know who you people are making excuses for the guy but he was just reciting a poll he had conducted. Just like most polls that conservatives are reading. What with demographics, the pandemic, and the spectacle of George Floyd's murder right in front of us, the country is changing. He's just one of the many monsters on the right who now say oh look at what I've done, without saying the last part out loud and taking responsibility for their part in it

having a hissy fit because Luntz was supposed to be on his show and cancelled. Tucker was being nothing but a spoiled brat who didn't get what he wanted and had a temper tantrum, waa, waa, waa went the crybaby!
