Conservative Pollster Says Trump’s ‘Head Is Exploding’ As His Campaign Implodes

Donald Trump might be living in an alternative reality, but the rest of the GOP certainly is not. They are freely admitting that Trump’s campaign is in a freefall with no signs of correcting course, and they know what this means for their party when November rolls around. Conservative pollster Frank Luntz admitted this week that Trump’s “head is exploding” over the worsening polls that he’s receiving, and that’s probably an understatement, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Things have now gotten so bad for Donald Trump's failing presidential campaign that even conservatives are not denying it anymore. Well, to a degree they're still denying it, but I will get to that in just a moment. However, conservative pollster, Frank Luntz in an interview with CNN this week pointed out that the polls are so bad for Donald Trump right now, that his head has to be exploding. And as we've seen from Donald Trump's post on truth social and the things he's saying in his rallies, uh, he is exploding with rage right now. Like absolutely no question about it. The man is blowing up. But here is what Frank Luntz, again, a conservative pollster had to say about Donald Trump's horrible numbers. He was asked quote, is it fair to say, Frank, in your opinion, that this enthusiasm that we've seen anecdotally and in the crowds and donations is translating into actual support for Kamala Harris?

Of course, and LZ replied, it's more than fair, it's accurate that the change over the last 17 days has been significant. It's meaningful and measurable, and it's being led by younger women who had opted out of this campaign. Then he goes on to talk about Trump. He says he's been very negative and very hostile, and clearly he's kind of lost his balance. He absolutely emerged from the convention with a clear and convincing lead. But what has happened, he stopped talking about immigration. He stopped talking about inflation and instead he has been so personal with his attacks that voters are starting to recoil. If this is an issue based campaign, Trump still has the advantage. But he noted that Harris is quote winning right now. People like her more than they like him. If he's watching this right now, his head is exploding and that's part of the problem.

He says, now let me go ahead and correct you, Frank lz, conservative pollster on one thing. You like so many other conservatives are admitting that everything's going bad for Trump. But you also say like all the other conservatives, if this campaign is about the issues we win. No you don't. No, you actually don't. Are you not paying attention to the polls? Harris has now taken a lead, not only in the swing states and nationally, she's also taken a lead on who voters trust the most on the issues. So even if this campaign were about the issues, they still go with Harris. I don't see how y'all don't see that. That data is readily available. She is winning on the economy, and that is the number one issue for voters. She's winning on the big issue. So stop. Like you guys are so close to actually living in reality that you trip at the finish line, you're like, Trump's bad. Everybody loves Harris. Everybody hates Trump. Nobody wins all the, oh, man. Like you guys almost had it. You almost said something honest and truthful. Listen, if Trump starts talking about the issues, you

Republicans have an even bigger problem on your hands. Trump is not capable of speaking intelligibly about anything. It doesn't matter what it is. But if you get him out there and he starts talking about fiscal policy, he starts talking about economics. He starts talking about immigration and how we're gonna deport a million people on day one. That would devastate the economy. By the way, economists have already told us that, like he would kill the economy if he did that. Plus majority of people don't support that anyway. So you better hope he just sticks to attacking people personally. 'cause if he gets going on the issues, you're gonna have an even bigger problem on your hands. So you guys are stuck between a rock and a hard place. You've got this numb skull at the top of your ticket.
