Saw him on Howard Kurtz show this morning. Luntz was promoting a book on why we need a 3rd party.

His focus polling indicates:

1. People want something halfway between the extreme Dems and GOP.
2. People want politicians to be polite and work together.

Kurtz was doing his best to not say 'I think you're full of shite.'

I think Luntz likes wieners.

Merely writing a book on that premise betrays that he’s unintelligent and not worth paying attention to.

We cannot have any more than two main parties under our current election framework.

We do need a third party.

But more importantly we need parliamentary systems where minor parties can actually take seats.

Sorry but abortion is not a top priority for my lifestyle

He also said there is no evidence in any state of voter fraud.

He wants a third party because Trump voters are unified and pissed off. A third party would potentially fracture that enabling Democrats to remain in power.

Luntz is a Democrat operative.

Because the GOP has done so much good in the last 75 years...

Like Romney and McCain? Republicans courted the (mythical) "moderates" for decades. The only thing that happened was losing elections.

If we had runoffs in Presidential elections, I would agree.

How many votes would Romney have gotten in 2012 running as an independent? 20, 30 maybe?

The "extreme" of the gop is like 2 house reps. The extreme of the Dems is the party platform.

Frank Lutz wears a fricking thong. No self respecting person wants something in between far left and the RINO’s that would be a soft democrat regardless

This is true. I've looked at the Communist Party USA website many times. I can't find a policy they espouse that is not promoted by the Dems.

The two party system is a corrupt illusion

Was watching that when he came on and the remote was too far away to get up and change channels.
It wasn't until he started degrading 'election deniers' that it became close enough for me to reach.
