Pollster Frank Luntz has said some dumb things over the years, but his take on Senator Cory Booker’s recent, and completely pointless filibuster, really takes the cake. This was over the top, even for him.
During an appearance on News Nation, Luntz suggested that Booker’s filibuster ‘may have changed the course of political history.’
Huh? Really, Frank?

Frank Luntz: Booker marathon speech ‘may have changed the course of political history’
Longtime GOP pollster Frank Luntz said Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) “may have changed the course of political history” with his marathon speech breaking the Senate’s record for the longest floor speech in its history.
“I want to emphasize what Cory Booker did over the last 24 hours may have changed the course of political history. I watched a lot of it. I listened to words. I listened to phrases,” Luntz said during a Tuesday evening appearance on NewsNation’s “On Balance.”
He confirmed that Booker’s unprecedented feat “struck a tone” with Americans in the midst of the Trump administration’s controversial policies.
“He struck the kind of tone that grassroots Democrats are looking for. He gave them a reason to fight. He gave them a reason to stand up and say, this is my country too,” Luntz told anchor Leland Vittert.
“Of course, every Republican watching will say, ‘This is nonsense.’ But he is not speaking just to Republicans, he’s speaking to Americans, and what I saw over the last 25 hours absolutely blew me away,” he added.

Wow.
Cory Booker changed the course of political history the way Frank Luntz changed the course of men’s toupees.

No one is going to remember Cory Booker’s filibuster stunt in a week. Luntz’s comments on this are simply laughable.
