Building the Lifeboats

[popeyespappy]

Building lifeboats is not what the Lincoln Project is about. The group is solely focused on defeating Trump and his supporters in congress during the 2020 election even if it means electing Democrats. Group founder George Conway, Kellyanne's husband, has been a vocal critic of Trump since day one. Several other members of the group have quit the Republican party in protest over it's blind devotion to Trump. All of them have been critical of not just his leadership and moral character, but the direction he has been taking the party as well. Thier strategy is to live in Trump's head. In order to do that most of the ads they run are targeted at networks and timeslots they think Trump is likely to be watching.

The Tea Party dragged the kicking and screaming Republican party further and further to the right. The Lincoln Project's goal is the oppisite. They want to pull the back back from the precipice. This doesn't mean conservatives are going to stop being conservatives because they aren't, but I don't see how a softening of their positions is a bad thing. We might not like to admit it, but there is a real chance Trump and his congressional cock suckers could get reelected. I don't want to see that happen. So while the enemy of my enemy might not be my friend. We do seem to share the same goal of sending Trump home in Janurary, and I'll take all the help we can get in that area.
