Editor’s Note: We are not fans of Kevin McCarthy’s buddy, Frank Luntz. He is not a good pollster and he’s a horrible person. But when he’s right he’s right and in this case his assessment is accurate. It highlights an important idea that must be hammered home in the minds of Republicans.
Kamala Harris is an absolute failure with issues, policies, and actions. She is on the unpopular side of the table on nearly everything from the border crisis to men in women’s sports to the economy. It’s truly unfortunate that attacks against her lately have centered on her racial flip-flopping. It’s not an effective strategy to wonder whether she’s Indian or Black because, as nearly every American knows, she can be both. It doesn’t move the needle to highlight how she picks one or the other depending on the circumstance. It WILL move the needle to tell people how abysmal she has been as a politician and how huge of a mistake it would be to make her president. With that said, here’s the report from Daily Caller…
(DCNF)—Pollster Frank Luntz said that former President Donald Trump could inflict major political damage on Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign with one short question.
Trump can defeat Harris at the ballot box if he asks voters “can you name one thing she accomplished as Vice President?,” Luntz told FOX 11 Los Angeles’ Elex Michaelson during an appearance on “The Issue Is Show,” which aired Friday. Focusing on Harris’ record, rather than launching personal attacks, will be an effective strategy for beating her in November, he said.

“People don’t like it when politicians attack each other. Accountability? Yes,” Luntz said. “Attacks? No.”
Michaelson then asked what “word choice” Trump should use when talking about Harris.
Maximize savings. Support great patriot Mike Lindell. Use promo code “JDR” at MyPillow and take advantage of the $25 EXTRAVAGANZA happening right now.
“Can you name one thing she did as vice president? And leave it at that,” Luntz responded. “Can you name one thing she accomplished as vice president? Ten words. He’s incapable, and all these people are gonna watch this, all these Trump voters are gonna say, ‘You’re so mean, and you’re so partisan and you don’t like him so you’re criticizing him.’ Just once, can he answer a question in ten words? Or answer with ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ Just once, can he answer anything without delivering an attack?”
Harris promoted several signature administration initiatives during her time as vice president, including costly green school bus and broadband programs that have struggled to gain much traction to date.
“And it’s legitimate criticism. She was number two in this country, she was given the responsibility for immigration,” Luntz continued. “Now, I’m going to upset the other side. How’s our immigration working out?”
Biden tasked Harris with addressing the root causes of immigration to the U.S., which she once said included a “lack of climate adaptation.” The Biden-Harris administration presided over at least 6.7 million illegal migrant encounters at America’s southern border alone, according to the House Committees on Homeland Security and Oversight and Accountability.
“Well, her folks would say she was put in charge of investigating the root causes of immigration,” Michaelson responded.
“And what did she do there?” Luntz asked. “What did she do there? How successful has she been? What else did Joe Biden task her to do? In our lifetime, we’ve seen Dick Cheney, who was arguably as powerful as the president. A vice president, and Joe Biden when he was vice president, had specific responsibilities under the Obama administration. She did nothing.”
Polling has tightened significantly after President Joe Biden quit the race and threw his support behind Harris in July. Harris, who has yet to partake in an unscripted long-form interview since becoming the de facto Democratic nominee, trails Trump by about 1% in the RealClearPolitics polling average, compared to the three point average lead Trump had over Biden before the latter stepped aside.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.

Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.

Luntz is a back stabbing lefty with his own agenda. The fact he try’s to portray a Trump – Harris race as close is just more carrying water for the left. I don’t think Harris will even be on the ticket after the convention. I think Obama and company have a few more tricks up their sleeve.
I smell the stench of Hillary Clinton stinking up the 2024 election.
Oh I don’t know….reminding everybody the Cacklin’ Hen is a useless, adulterous whore is still “facts.”
I can proudly say I don’t know a Democrat voter and I’ve never seen a Biden bumper sticker. Trump flags and signs are everywhere.
No, this line won’t help. Nobody who would vote for Harris in the first place gives a tinkers dam about whether or not she accomplished anything good for America, only that she maintains their freedom to continue their debauchery and bleed public funds. Harris voters will be criminals, illegals, drug cartels, baby murders, child mutilators, sex traffickers, big pharma, pedophiles, alphabet perverts, Hamas supporters, anti-semites, dirty politicians, academic fools, media morons, foreigners and traitors, corrupt judges and DAs, fake preachers, alphabet perverts, ghetto welfare rats, the low mental functioning, the fully gaslit, Soros-bought, global elites, etc. GOOD POLICIES FOR ALL AMERiCANS ARE EXACTLY WHAT THESE BOTTOM FEEDERS DO NOT WANT!!!
Can Shapiro or any of the contenders define DEI? That’s a laugh now, but there won’t be a laugh track when he has to answer that question in a debate or news conference.
Because if the Democrats can’t provide a definition of DEI, than Trump and Vance will define DEI as Kamala Harris.
It gets less funny by the day.
Democrats can’t define “woman”. They have re-titled wife and mother. Now, the 5th Circuit has rewritten Title IX, to allow men to participate in women’s athletics. Democrats clearly believe smart people know what a woman is. And, they don’t have to be told why DEI is important. Hence, no definition is required.
“Alex, I’ll try a three-letter social acronyms, for $100.”
“This 3 letter acronym can define anything, anywhere or anyone.”
“Uuuhhh, mmm…”
Ding.
“What is DEI?”
“Uuh, Alex, what is DEI?”
“I just told you, it’s a 3 letter acronym that can define anything, anywhere or anyone.”
How the F does this Dunce Luntz still get talked about.. He’s the most out of touch “pollster” Ever..
the only way Trump loses is if the commies cheat and they will cheat..
Yes
“In our lifetime, we’ve seen Dick Cheney, who was arguably as powerful as the president.”
Actually, he WAS the de facto president. Had that election gone the other way, it would have been Lieberman. Both parties picked their most radical neocons for the VP slot, standing by to take over following the major terrorist attack the government knew was coming.
Meanwhile, Trump should simply ask the same 11-word question that Reagan asked in 1980: “Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?”
I can’t remember a Republican ever attacking ANTI-DEMOCRATIC PARTY leftist filth in a meaningful way, not like democrats attack republicans.
Just some finger wagging and sternly worded letters. Never any perp walks or jail time.
They deserve gallows.
This is a “who do you hate more?” election, and VP’s rarely have accomplishments anyway.
I hope luntz cleared this trump attack strategy with his boyfriend lil’ Kev.
but buy that goldz
He can do it in 5 words.
“ARE YOU A NATURALIZED CITIZEN?”
Kamala Harris is an anchor baby who had foreign parents at birth, she received her citizenship through a reinterpretation of the 14th amendment, in other words, she is a naturalized citizen, and did NOT receive her citizenship naturally… she is not eligible for either top office.
The Constitution Does Not Allow Children Born Of Non-Citizens To Become President Of The United States (nor VPOTUS), it requires a natural born citizen for either top positions.
Law of Nations, by Vattel, written in 1758 says:
“§ 212 – Citizens and Natives. The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.”
Second question to ask voters: Can you imaging Kamala sitting on our side of the table negotiating our well-being with Putin or Zi on their side of the table?
She will simply reply with some vague, silly, vacuous word salad like:
“We’re doing the work”, and millions of voters will erupt in applause.
