The political consultants at the Lincoln Project broke with the Republican Party over Donald Trump, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still messaging to the former President.
The latest spot launches Tuesday, a targeted ad buy designed to be seen in Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump summers, as well as in Palm Beach, which is where his winter Mar-a-Lago compound is located. The Lincoln Project has made a habit of such targeted ad buys.
The new 60-second ad (“Outsider”) plays up the familiar antipathy between Trump and the group he calls “the Loser Project.” But the narration also maintains that despite the mutual antagonism between the former President and the former Republicans, Trump can at least rely on the Lincoln Project to tell him the truth.
“You hate us,” a female narrator says. “And we’re not your biggest fans either … but in a funny way, we’re the only people you can trust.”
The narrative then recaps a series of Lincoln Project owns of the former President in recent years, painting a picture of a befuddled President being outflanked by rivals at every turn.
“We told you that you’d lose, and you did … that Mike Pence would stab you on the back on Jan. 6, and he did … how Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy were using your name for money and power,” the narration recaps, before saving a Florida Man for last.
“And we told you Ron DeSantis was coming for you,” the narrator teased. “And now he thinks he’s bigger than you.”
Having established the theme of transactionality, the narrator suggests betrayal inevitably follows.
“They’re turning on you. All of them,” the voiceover continued, maintaining a tone of mockery to the end. “We’d tell you we’re sad for you, but we always tell you the truth.”

We have espionage related crimes, election crimes, inciting insurrection, various frauds and thefts, sexual assaults, civil suits out the yin yang. If you still believe in this con man and support such filth then you are criminally insane.

I have. I asked my doctor if there is anything I can use to make the idiots on the Left less irritating. You know like an anti-histamine…
What I was actually hoping for was like a spray that would interact with the Blue pills they all eat. Something that would simply get them to keel over, but alas no such concoction is currently legal. However, I remain hopeful…

You should convert to leftism…this is the cure. You are a shill for the capitalists and the rich…yet you can’t achieve these things yourself. This is very toxic for a person. That and the right wing is fueled by neverending strings of enemies foreign and domestic. It can’t survive without enemies. Only respite for the right wing is brief periods in Church to buffer the narcissism and forget about how horrible they are.

Lincoln project what’s the motive behind the name
This ad was a total waste of time and money.
All has been somewhat resolved except for the unstable agenda of shelter and criminalizing it. This will be monstrous

Today’s Republican Party needs to wake up! The Democratic Party needs to maintain common sense policies with moderation and avoid extremism.
Independent voters are today’s voice of reason and decide elections.
Gallop has polled nationally asking a simple question of Party affiliation….. here are the results:
Democrats 27%
Republicans 27%
Independents 43%
In Florida there are a total of 14,256,184 registered voters. Of this amount 4,143,819 are unaffiliated independent voters, 5,157,343 are Republicans and 4,955,022 are Democrats.
Independent voters are generally moderate in fiscal issues, liberal in social issues and for the most part college educated. Appealing to the middle wins elections. Independent voters decide elections.

GOP, Repub. are over 250,000 lead registration. That has happened in past 2 years. As it is closer to 300,000.
Peter h, Independents are supporting Gov over 55%. Hispanics are over 55%. Those are your Dums and indies. DeSantis is well over 55% support. Closer to 60% support to win.
Chameleon and fraud No chance!

They are trolls & instigators. That is their motive. The Left chooses a name or a symbol that represents something good & decent and corrupts it.
I’ve got to give them credit, as they have picked a strategy that is almost immune from counterattack. That’s because the Left has no symbols or names that actually represent anything that is or was truly good or beneficial.

You people have the cross as a symbol yet you vote for crooks and madmen who do nothing for ordinary people…only hoard money. Throw a few bucks in the collection plate and you narcissistic demons are good to go though. Blessed…

It will be interesting to see how the Trump voters react to Desantis backstabbing Trump. A lot of them already consider Florida’s governor to be a traitor to Trump for butting into the front of the line.

The Lincoln Project is made up of republicans. But you knew that, right? I mean, nobody is that dumb, are they? How did all of the finger-pointing and zero accountability work out for you the last election?

You do understand the difference between a Republican and a RINO, right? I mean as a Progressive-Socialist, I understand your *NEED* to ignore the distinction. But the difference is real.
And anyone with two brain cells firing should be capable of recognizing the differences.

Yeah RINO = Not a neo nazi propagandist, grifter, liar, con artist.
Paul Passarelli
August 16, 2022 at 9:12 pm
Oh, Joe, you do make me laugh! Because while that’s not quite what so many RINOS actually are, it’s EXACTLY the way I’d describe most elected Democrats!

Guffaw! Asking me to convert to Leftism, is like asking my flesh to convert into maggot infested decaying meat. It’s just not gonna happen.
It boggles my mind that anyone would even make such an absurd suggestion. But then again, I’ve always said Democrats are stupid, so I suppose that your statement is just an affirmation of my estimation, of their complete lack of intelligence. So I suppose I should say “Thank you.” even if it’s only in jest.

Yeah the psycho right wing capitalists are intelligent alright… intelligent enough to grift every man woman and child out of their socks for the rest of human history. That goes for the preaching class and the neo nazi trailer trash class as well. Propaganda fed maniacs who don’t know their balls from their azzhole 🍩

Well said.
The problem isn’t the Republicans. The Democrats have gone insane. The only problem with *most* of the GOP is the lack of backbone to do what is necessary, and to actually strike back at lying opponents, but that is changing. Thank you Governor DeSantis, and President Trump.
I truly wish that the Libertarians would stop the out of touch with reality positions, denounce the insanity of the Democrats, and pick up the ancient republican banner, and vow to *lead* (not rule) from a clear and self-evident platform, with accountability & transparency, and *SOME REAL BACKBONE*.
