Frank Luntz Says Dems Committed ‘Political Malpractice’ by Having Harris Go Negative – Undecideds Didn’t Like ‘Either Candidate’

Republican pollster and focus group guru Frank Luntz said Sunday that Democrats had committed “political malpractice” by advising Vice President Kamala Harris to go negative on Donald Trump in a race where both candidates were unpopular.

Luntz joined ABC’s This Week, where host Jonathan Karl picked his brain about Trump’s Tuesday election win over Harris.

The host asked Luntz about what might have led undecided voters to break for the country’s former president over Harris during the final stretch of the campaign.

Luntz, who brought focus group receipts, replied, “They did not like either candidate. That was clear.” He added:

[Voters] thought that Trump was offensive and abusive in his language and polarizing, but in the end, she didn’t answer the question that they wanted to know. What are you going to do in the first hour, in the first day, in the first week, the first month and so on? They felt they had the right to hear this, and if she won’t tell them that, then they couldn’t give her their vote.

And other voters, not just the young voters felt she never came clean with what she wanted to do, and the fact she changed her positions in some issues, she never really explained it.

Karl followed up, “Did she talk too much about Trump?”

Luntz concluded voters knew not only who Trump was but what to expect from him.

In contrast, he explained, Harris’s strategy of attacking Trump denied her opportunities to allow persuadable voters to learn about her.

“It was too much defining what Trump was. Jon, we all know what Trump is,” Luntz said. “We experienced him for four years. Whoever told her to focus on him committed political malpractice, because in the end, you cannot change someone’s point of view on him. It was all about her.”
