Backlash: Left Turns On #NeverTrump Lincoln Project ‘Grifters’
“Lincoln Project managed to help Trump get MORE Republican support than in 2016 apparently”
One of the biggest losers in last night’s election may well turn out to be the #NeverTrump Lincoln Project, an assortment of failed former GOP political operatives and inconsequential pouty and self-aggrandized former rightwing pundits.
As Florida was going into President Trump’s not inconsiderable ‘win’ column, Democrats and their media hordes were horrified to see Trump make huge gains among Hispanics in the Miami-Dade area. And it wasn’t only Floridian Hispanics who turned out to vote for Trump, Republicans turned out to support the president in record and historic numbers.
For some reason, Democrats thought that a venom-spitting gaggle of disgruntled, mean-spirited former Republicans was just the ticket to help them turn out Republican voters to beat the president.
The left is now regretting that misguided decision, and the Lincoln Project is catching a lot of flak for their wrong-headed ‘guidance’ on and negative approach to winning over Republican voters.
Excited to see if handing over the Florida “Latino vote” strategy to weirdo Lincoln Project cold warriors was a good idea

Imagine if the $67 million donated to the Lincoln Project was given to groups organizing in Texas, or to competitive Senate races, or to groups mobilizing Latino voters.

This is why a New York Times reporter announced that she's preparing an article to declare Hispanics no longer part of People of Color. It's not just right-wing Cubans and Venezuelans in South Florida. The predominant media narrative of 4 years has been obliterated – by voters: https://t.co/DuqSLwCCeM

The Lincoln Project raised $67 million. Republican Voters Against Trump raised $10 million.
93% of Republicans voted for Trump in 2020, up from 90% in 2016. https://t.co/EUPsQsHuDN

This is what happens when the Lincoln Project runs your entire messaging. And pockets tens of millions in the process.

No, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO… you don't get to be angry at the left for this #Election2020 debacle.
Turn your wrath to the Democratic Party that shunned wildly popular progressive policies and handed its messaging to a bunch of Republicans at the Lincoln Project.

Literally the dumbest strategy and biggest waste of campaign resources ever

The Lincoln Project lesson is that you can use a career in politics to make mad bank, switch parties & tweet like a teenage girl, and make absolutely the opposite impact you intended or no impact at all.
That — if anything — is the optimistic outcome of this election.

LOL. The @ProjectLincoln people admitting that the whole premise of their grift was a scam and the know it all along
Of course the Lincoln Project people aren't as "depressed" as Democrats: they're floating on piles of #Resistance money no matter the outcome: https://t.co/QDGAOuKEhG

Wow, who could have foreseen this? From useful idiot valued collaborator to useless eater counterrevolutionary enemy of the People in under 24 hours.
Poor Lincoln Projectionists. Now all they have to look forward to is a future of cancellation, doxxing, gangstalking, nightriders at their residences, and dodging the occasional round of 7.62 at neighborhood ball games.
Basically what I was going to say.
DUH!!!!!!!!
Who didn’t see this coming?!
Stupid Ever Rumpers!
Hope so. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of venal traitors and grifters.
Never Trumpers are dog dirt on anyone’s lawn.
“Lincoln Projectionists” I love it!
Turncoats are usually shot by the victors after the win. A traitor can’t be trusted.
Exactly as predicted.
Whether Trump won or lost, the left was ALWAYS going to kick the Useful Idiots to the curb the second the election was over.
Not sure they were really useful, but idiots does fit like a well worn shoe.

MAGA rallies need to get started now
Don’t sit home drooling in front of your TV set
Make them hear you
The Never Trumpers are todays Vichy sell outs.
If the Lincoln Project quislings were any more shameless, they would start claiming their betrayal was really a double-cross on the left and that rather than suffer universal rejection they should be welcomed back by the right and commended for their efforts.
Even so, it will be fun watching them floundering there in outer darkness (only if one can flounder with 10’s of pocketed millions!).
Fox News Circles The Wagons and Fails – Guy Benson Accidentally Exposes Scheme: Contracted Fox News Pollster is also Fox News Decision Desk Narrator…
“The pollster paid by Fox News to predict election outcomes, is a key part of the crew that calls the results on election night. Think about that.
Think about the conflict, the purposeful and brutally obvious conflict, that would exist in using the same person to predict elections and then report on the results of that election….”

‘News’ organizations have no business ‘declaring winners’ before all of the votes are counted. Who do they think they are?
I would like to see legislation prohibiting this.
Doubt they care. The grifters are only in it for the money.
“Wildly popular.”
So, apparently the ultra-progs will be back for another sound thrashing in 2024.
Same thing that’s happening to the Lincoln Project loonies will happen to BLM and ANTIFA.
They’ve served their purpose and the Democrat Party doesn’t need to carry them anymore.

Dusty, forget 2024, we need to think about the midterms. Let’s get rid of the RINOS and take back the House.
Not to mention, I’ll bet anything that Mitt Romney was promised the 2024 nomination for his vote on Amy Coney Barrett for SCOTUS.
THAT’S going to be a problem.

All the Lincoln Project really did was steal the idea from the Ponzi scheme brothers Ed and Brian Krassenstein. They milked the #resitance for every penny they could while promising to fight against the eVil tRump. In a nutshell they basically trolled the Presidents Twitter account and lived the good life like they were doing before the FBI seized their property from all their online scams.
Nobody likes a backstabbing bunch of frauds.
Who didn’t see this coming? They are referred to as USEFUL IDIOTS for nothing.
The Lincoln Project confirmed that neoconservatism is a form of pseudoconservatism.
