GOP pollster Frank Luntz: NY results 'final wakeup call' for House Republicans

Republican pollster Frank Luntz said the result of Tuesday’s New York special election was the “final wakeup call” for House Republicans after former Rep. Tom Suozzi (D) won back his old seat and helped Democrats further narrow the GOP majority.

“Democrats just flipped George Santos’ #NY03 House seat,” Luntz posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. “Tonight is the final wakeup call for the @HouseGOP. If they ignore or attempt to explain away why they lost, they will lose in November as well.”

“The issue agenda is on their side. Their congressional behavior is not,” he added.

Suozzi defeated GOP candidate Mazi Pilip in the special election to fill the seat vacated by former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who was expelled in December after criminal charges were filed against him.

But it is better for his polling/consulting business if Repugs believe they just need to get their message right -- because then they will pay him for his services. If they recognized it was hopeless without completely reversing their positions, would they even bother hiring a spin/BS expert?

"issue agenda" is not on the R side. Pilip ran on border control/immigration and the other rw nonsense and got her tail kicked.

Decoding GOP nonsense is like reading Pravda in 1978. They can't say anything straight for fear of drawing the ire of the Mighty Trump.

Americans are not in favor of stripping women of bodily autonomy and letting fascists take over government. What a lying sack of shit he is.
