The Lincoln Project

Cardinal said:
They're probably a problem for his campaign. The Lincoln Project's target demographic isn't trump supporters (they're unreachable), but the 10% of Republicans who find trump repulsive and are looking for permission to use this one election as a means for realigning the GOP into traditional principles. The Lincoln Project provides that permission structure.

I agree that this is a wink and a nod to rebellious Republicans that want an excuse to jump ship for one election cycle. Trump is a Neocon to them.

The ads from The Lincoln Project are very very effective. I love each one. If the Dems were smart, they would start subsidizing TLP and even hire them to do a campaign for Biden.

That would be the worst possible idea, haymarket. It would make their ads almost totally ineffective, because at that point they would just be seen as paid stooges of the Democrats playing to people who were not going to vote for Trump anyway. Which, ultimately, they would be.

Imagine if a far-left progressive group made up of prominent left-wing Democratic Party members and former Democratic Party members started running attack ads against Joe Biden on the basis of him being terrible with women, too conciliatory towards conservatives and regressive elements within the Democratic Party and across the aisle...only to find out that the organization and the ads were being bankrolled by the Republicans. Would anyone other than Republicans and those who were not going to vote for Biden anyway bother watching the ads after that was discovered? Would any Democratic Party voters be moved once they realized that this group was just a paid tool of the opposition? I highly doubt it.

Speaking specifically to you, tres, do you accept the LP's message that it's okay to vote for the Democrat just this once until a normal Republican is on the ticket again?

I'm asking you this because, as you already said, you're the LP's target demographic and that's their message.

I've seen impactful ads, and seen impactful groups pop up through the years, but I see the Lincoln Project having a massive impact on the election - and not the impact the Republicans hope for.

This is one impressive group. I'm personal friends with one of the founders, Jennifer Horn, who one of the DP Trump Panty Sniffers said was a communist.

Think Democrats will ever figure out how the Lincoln Projects of the GOP put Democrats in the political hole they’re atm?

There IS no alternative to Trump. It's him or warmed over Marxism. I don't think most of the country wants warmed over Marxism. These Never Trumpers are cutting their own throats if they think they can co-exist with the current radicals in the Democrat party. What this really is is the swamp trying to reestablish the status quo. Ideological differences go out the window when it comes to people lining their pockets.

"Warmed over Marxism"? He's running against Biden. That's just status quo Republocrat bull****.

lol

"Warmed over Marxism"....man, I think what most people don't want is the far-right's overused chicken little nonsense.

They're kind of screwing their own party though.

Yep, but that is intended to try to stop the GOP from simply being the party for a bigger federal government. As with any PAC, its leaders are likely making some serious money.

That's hyperbole.


Joe Biden has been a moderate Senator for over 30 years. If he appears a bit to the left at the moment, it's because he is coming up for election.

Trump’s dangerous rally in New Hampshire this Saturday should be interesting for your governor, on down the ballot. This is one of those overlapping deals, trying to help Maine GOPs.

A bigger gov or more debt is already baked in the cake since the pandemic economic fallout. Though Trump will get blamed, any POTUS would've had to support the Fed rescue and stimulus. The problem with the GOP is that they financially support corporations more than average citizens.

Biden is a simpleton. He has also sold his soul to the far left. All one need do is listen to him. Like I said, he's simply a handpuppet. He won't run anything.
 
The whispers ad is going to drive the Projects audience of one absolutely ape****.

I must say i do get some little satisfaction when I visualize him trying to convince himself its not true, but getting more and more deluded as he comes to realize the truth of it.

The lincoln project aren't out to win anyone over, they are out to stick it too him directly. They are damn good at it too.

Just one sole? Because it would be hard walking with shoes with one missing its sole.

lol

He's not far-left, that's stupid. He's a status quo Republocrat, always has been, always will be.

Evil?
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act and you might need some salve to put on that burn, namely that charred and smoking crater where your "MODERATE" moniker is sitting under your name.

Why don't you just go ahead and smear everyone at Lincoln Project with the "libtard" tag?
Go on, you know you want to, Trumper!

Biden is a mere front man. The real powers are the ones who will dictate policy. If Biden would somehow get in the way, they'd quickly figure out how to get rid of him and put in whoever the radical VP is.

He's nothing but a tool. Do you seriously think this fool can buck the far left powers in the party? He can't and won't.

Oh looky, the typo police are out in force. If I spent all my time in here pointing out misspellings and incorrect grammar, I'd never have time for anything else.
