Pollster Frank Luntz: Trump may cost GOP the House in 2022

Former Republican pollster Frank Luntz tells Kara Swisher on her New York Times podcast "Sway" that Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election "could cost the Republicans the majority in the House in 2022."

Why it matters: The former president is still the most popular figure in the Republican Party, but his baseless claims about the election have alienated moderates and key GOP leaders — including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

Key exchange:

Luntz: "More than two-thirds of Republicans believe that the election was stolen."

Swisher: "So it's working. This 'Big Lie' thing is working."

Luntz: "It is working. ... What Donald Trump is saying is actually telling people it's not worth it to vote. Donald Trump single-handedly may cause people not to vote. And he may be the greatest tool in the Democrats' arsenal to keep control of the House and Senate in 2022."

Lets hope that this happens.
 
Trump is probably running his mouth to raise money to bail himself out of a financial abyss, and he doesn't care about the political consequences.
 
Lets hope that this happens.

he's chasing off old school republicans who vote their money over everything else, but can't believe their party is doing this 'big lie' routine....they KNOW Biden won the election......only a few percentage points loss for them could spur a Dem landslide
