Luntz Thinks It’s Possible Trump Could Win Nomination

In a nondescript office building adjacent to a sports bar in the Washington suburbs, one Republican operative spent Monday night trying to figure out what the heck is going on out there.
Frank Luntz, a longtime GOP zeitgeist guru, assembled 29 Donald Trump supporters in a white-walled room — and a gaggle of reporters behind one-way glass. The goal, he said, was to try to drill down on how lasting, how real and how strong is the Mack truck that has jackknifed his party this summer.
Two hours later, he declared his answer: “He is much stronger, his support is much more solid than I ever would have expected.” At times, Luntz appeared rattled by what he was hearing.
Will Trump be the nominee?
“It’s now totally conceivable that he will be,” he said.
Luntz had done something similar earlier and come away with very different results. After the first Republican presidential debate, an on-air focus group told him Trump had tanked. Luntz relayed the results on Fox News and became the target of a Trump tirade.
