8/25/15, "Trump may be 'impossible to take down,' top Republican pollster says," New Jersey Advance Media, Claude Brodesser-Akner, for NJ.com
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....
"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."
Assembled in a room behind mirrored glass in an Alexandria, Va.
office building, 29 current and former Trump supporters held forth on
what they like and dislike about the controversial real estate tycoon,
who owns three New Jersey golf courses and once owned three Atlantic
City casinos.
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.""...via Free Rep.
