Are there any YouTube videos of this?

I would like to watch very much.

Also gently caress Frank Luntz, if he ever wanted to conduct a loving real focus group he would allow his participants as much alcohol as they wished. Alcohol, after all, is the lubrication of inhibition and the revealor of truths.

Rubio said that Obama's defense spending priorities was causing us to have the smallest and weakest air force in our nation's entire history. Twice.

CNN just declared the notion that the San Bernardino shooting could have been stopped if only the PC police let us monitor facebook... FALSE.

Not that anyone will care, and I'm not sure they should.

All day I saw this exchange on Fox News.

"Obama wouldn't let they check Facebook and that's why this happened."
"Well, actually authorities say she used fake names and privacy setting so it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway."
"PC kills! Did you hear some principal banned Santa and the Pledge of Allegiance?!"

Oh God I have something in common with a Frank Luntz focus group.

I havn't watched it yet, but it seems like Luntz focus groups always just pick whoever the establishment happens to be pulling for at the time.

That's exactly the opposite of what's been happening the last couple months and Luntz himself is suicidal. Watch his CBS focus group from last week.

Personally, I like Frank. He seems like a smart guy who is only just a bit too nerdy to make it himself as a bluedog in American politics.

If you ever have half an hour and see Frank, ask him what his favorite Star Wars is.

Doesn't Luntz openly boast that he can manipulate his group's to any conclusion he wants? Like, isn't that why people hire him, to rig these things? And why he's having a Rovian freak out that it's not working with Trump?

The post debate groups are different; those are created to push a narrative. The narrative is CRUZ/CHRISTIE won. The plan is to have Cruz win Iowa, Christie win New Hampshire, and to box Trump out and finish him off early.

The focus groups you are talking about are more legit and pure nightmare fuel.

I dare you to put yourself in a room with Luntz and not be willing to tell him what he wishes to hear after 3 hours.

USM has another name than 'focus group' for this technique of producing results from detainees. They even have a memo from John Yoo authorizing its usage.

Trump just didn't do it for me this time. His little back and forth with Jeb was great but he showed he had nothing for Rubio and Cruz. And I don't like either of those as the nominee because the American public cannot be trusted THAT much.

someone said that fiorina's story about having to deliver a bunch of HP computers to the government after 9/11 for surveillance is probably true and also probably still classified (they pieced it together from redacted documents I guess.)

obviously I don't know if it's true or classified but that's what I read on the internet.
