    Lincoln Project .
    Now that the have accomplished their mission of denying Trump a second term they are being cancelled and assigned to the trash bin of history .

    here is the cliff notes . For as long as I can remember the Dems and the press have found useful idiots in the Repub ranks to serve their purpose . Then when they have done the Dem's bidding ,they get thrown over the bus. The Lincoln Project was not really about Politics. It was about Grift. Weaver Preyed on young men.
    They all Preyed on Rich Anti-Trump donors, raking\in tens of millions of dollars. With most of that money going to enrich themselves. Trump was just their fundraising tool. More proof that the swamp is bi-partisan in it's corruption.

    Whatever got rid of the dufus I was for, and it can't be as bad as coddling white supremists who were on "STAND BY". At least require they put their hoods back on.

    you mean you can't tell a white supremist by the look and smell, or do you just want to cover their faces?

    The Lincoln project turned out to be a money making enterprise that the compliant press bought into because they were anti-Trump. They were ineffective as a political force. So you can believe they had a hand in Trump's defeat .But it just wasn't so.

    When 1st posted I was unaware of the fact that their campaign did not contributed to Trump's defeat . Their main accomplishment was fund raising for pocket lining . The apparent success was another Twitter deception. Their tweets drew thousand of followers retweeting .
    But according to Repub Senate Super Pac's Steve Law "We ran against @ProjectLincoln in every one of these races. Their ads were inside-the-Beltway terrible and they clearly pocketed most of the cash rather than putting it onscreen."
    (10) Steven Law on Twitter: "We ran against @ProjectLincoln in every one of these races. Their ads were inside-the-beltway terrible and they clearly pocketed most of the cash rather than putting it onscreen. Schumer wasted his $$$ on them." / Twitter

    Instead of reaching Repubs ;they were reaching Dems already determined to defeat Trump. In fact the Senate Dem Pac donated $2 million to the Lincolns .

    What it means going forward is that there is no real meaningful opposition to Trump or "Trumpism " in the ranks of the GOP . The Lincoln project is discredited and there was very little opposition to Trump during the show trial .

    Last week as the story was developing more members of the group came forward . They contradicted the narrative that co founder Steve Sshmidt advanced ;that they did not know about co founder John Weaver's perversions until January . They in fact knew about it as early as March of last year .

    Their attitude was basically that anything goes so long as Trump goes. I have a funny feeling that a few months of left wing governance will go at least some direction towards correcting that. And I'm not a fan of Trump, but he looks better all the time compared to Harris/Biden/Pelosi/AOC.

    AOC would have slogged through the snow and brought you food and water. Ted Cruz would have ... wait, where did he go? he was here just a minute ago, packing his suitcase full of short-sleeved t-shirts shirts and cotton knit shorts.

    There was no conflict in deciding where to be--in his own state, helping its citizens, or relaxing in Cancun.

    Because.... oh, yeah, Texas was majorly suffering from snow and ice and extreme cold. Burst pipes, no electricity, no heat, no warm meals. Nuts to your constituents. Go to Cancun for a warm, sunny vacation in an expensive hotel and eat pricey meals.

    I have to side with WG on this one. It was incredibly dumb. Was it even close to what Cuomo did in NY? No, but still stupid.
