Frank Luntz focus group: We hate Fox News and the debate

[Lyin' Steve]

They are mad.  They look like they're about to cry.  "Disgusting"  "Despicable"  "Shameful"  "Disaster"

And they all think John Kasich won.  Except for one punk-ass motherfücker in a red shirt who thinks Trump won.

The numbers during the attacks were in the 30s.

John Kasich's "cool, calm, deliberate, effective" foreign policy line was their second-highest point, in the 90s.  Luntz is teasing the high point.

What a turnaround for Kasich - didn't he get one of the lowest responses ever during one of the earlier debates?

[Lyin' Steve]

Yeah, I think the Iowa focus group didn't like him scolding people.

John Kasich's "cool, calm, deliberate, effective" foreign policy line was their second-highest point, in the 90s.

Fantastic line.

Best line of the evening, apparently:  Ted Cruz "During World War 2, Detroit funded the arsenals of the Allies... 60 years of failed left-wing policies have destroyed this city."

I'm watching it right now and I completely agree that John Kasich is cleaning up. If he had performed like this all along he would be close to securing the nomination at this point.

Doubt it

Voters are not looking for a nice guy.

Find it sad that little Rubio couldn't even get a vote.

[standwrand]

Rubio got the least amount of speaking time at around 12 minutes and John Kasich got the second most at 19 behind Trump. It was really unfair and Rubio should have been given more time to talk saying as he is way ahead of Kasich in delegates and polls. Also, Kasich threatened to put boots on the ground in Syria, which would put us in another war.
The only good part of the debate was Megyn Kelly taking down Donald Trump.

Best line of the evening, apparently:  Ted Cruz "During World War 2, Detroit funded the arsenals of the Allies... 60 years of failed left-wing policies have destroyed this city."

Were discriminatory lending practices for home buyers and decades of automobile-oriented development "left-wing" policies? What a bizarre historical perspective on urban development.

The CNN watch party group was also very pro Kasich.  Polling shows him way behind.    Is there a shift going on not yet seen by polls? Or just luck of the draw for Kasich and these groups

The former.  Read all about it here https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=231205.0

We're finally getting into the area of the country in which Kasich is strong; this thing is far from over...
