Luntz was hired to do focus groups for the GOP to aid in putting a spin on the debates, to show a GOP win. This is normal politics and Luntz is their top guy.

COVID was, we believe, advised as well, […]

President Donald Trump has had a rough week—and it really, really shows. In an incredibly angry hour-long call-in interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network Thursday morning—his first live media appearance since he was hospitalized with COVID-19—Trump snarled at length about the decision to hold his next debate with Joe Biden virtually. “I’m not going to waste my time on a virtual debate” — Trump, […]
