It\u2019s worth a 5 or 10% bounce. He\u2019s no longer the controller, he is no longer the emperor, he doesn\u2019t have that much control, but more than any other Republican alive, and that\u2019s why these opinions aren\u2019t changing and that\u2019s why these hearings aren\u2019t having an impact the Democrats thought it would.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luntz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
