Luntz and the GOP establishment are in no position to complain, they created people like Trump, the Koch brothers etc. Conservative Republicans got the Citizens United lawsuit to the USSC, which granted them a victory, which  wasn't, because it took control of the party from the party regulars to anyone with a big enough bank account. The old adage be careful what you wish for couldn't be more apt...lol

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A new focus group commissioned by GOP pollster Frank Luntz shows Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is virtually invulnerable to attack by rival 2016 candidates and the media, leading Luntz to say that it is now "totally conceivable" that Trump will become the Republican Party's nominee for president.

"The Republican leadership needs to wake up and see that the grass roots has abandoned them," said Luntz, the head of Luntz Global, a top GOP polling and messaging consultancy.

"This is a different cat," Luntz added. "It's not like Ross Perot in 1992, where people were simply unhappy with the two major parties; they're choosing Trump affirmatively. Honestly, my legs are shaking looking at these numbers. All those people who think he's going to implode are wrong. He's not going away."

Most notably, the intensity of the group's support for Trump was matched only by their dislike of establishment GOP candidates and politics as usual. At one point, a woman named Rhiannon explained her support of Trump by lamenting that "it appears that there's only one party." A whopping 25 of 29 participants in the focus group immediately and heartily agreed with her.

"Nobody is listening to us," echoed another supporter identified only as 'Suzanne.' "(But) he's listening to us, he knows what we think and he's successful just like we want to be."

...20 years.  The glue must have seeped into his brain.  He's also jealous of Trump's hair.

After the first debate, Luntz had a supposed cross-section focus group.  What he didn't tell us that the focus group was salted with professional Republicans - prominently featured in the front row was Gianno Caldwell, a Republican consultant.  The whole thing was designed to take down Trump.

But it didn't work; Trump's popularity grew and now Luntz is flummoxed:

...as the great unwashed.

Sam Clovis, an Iowa bigwig, has joined Trump after deserting Rick Perry's sinking ship.  He was recruited to Team Trump by Chuck Laudner who worked for Santorum in 2012.
