GOP pollster Luntz blasts Trump campaign as worst he's ever seen

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/521868-gop-pollster-luntz-blasts-trump-campaign-as-worst-hes-ever-seen

Prominent Republican pollster Frank Luntz blasted President Trump and his campaign on Tuesday for focusing on Hunter Biden in the stretch run to Election Day, calling Trump’s campaign the worst he’s ever seen and saying the president’s advisers should be “brought up on charges of political malpractice.”

Speaking at a briefing for the British strategic advising company Global Counsel, Luntz said Trump’s advisers have “their heads up their asses” if they think Hunter Biden will be a winning issue for them.

“I’ve never seen a campaign more mis-calibrated than the Trump campaign. Frankly, his staff ought to be brought up on charges of political malpractice,” Luntz said.

“It is the worst campaign I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching them since 1980. They’re on the wrong issues. They’re on the wrong message. They’ve got their heads up their assess…Your damn job is to get your candidate to talk about things that are relevant to the people you need to reach. And if you can’t do your damn job then get out.”

The Trump campaign has been running ads and holding daily briefings to draw attention to allegations that Hunter Biden sought to profit off his father’s political connections.

7. Yes. Luntz helped create the modern Republican Party that led inexorably to Trump.

9. Maybe Trump is not messaging voters, but massaging jurors...

He knows he's going to lose the election, bigly, and that he'll be prosecuted. He's communicating to the jury pool that he's no different than anyone else and shouldn't be convicted: Just look at the corruption with the Bidens. He's positioning for jury nullification. Good luck with that.

Trump thinks he's a stable genius, and he's not going to heed any advisors going against his will anyway.

Basically a hot mess that somehow gets by with his rapidly decreasing celebrity credibility
