Trump "isn’t the same man he was a year ago," Frank Luntz told The Daily Beast.
Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz says GOP leaders are laughing at former President Donald Trump behind his back.
Speaking to The Daily Beast, Luntz noted a joke New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) made last week at the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington.
“He’s fucking crazy,” Sununu said of Trump. “I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution. But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out.”
Although the event is known for its roast-level jokes of political figures, Luntz said Sununu’s crack was indicative of something larger.
“I don’t know a single Republican who was surprised by what Sununu said. He said what they were thinking,” Luntz told The Daily Beast. “They won’t say it [in public], but behind his back, they think he’s a child. They’re laughing at him. That’s what made it significant.”
Luntz also indicated that Trump’s influence was growing weaker within the party.
