More from the Lincoln Project town hall, re targeting trump enablers
This question was asked during the town hall yesterday:
Are there plans to continue to target Trump’s enablers? I would suggest a campaign of “profiles in cowardIce” series specifically targeting them.
Answer from Rick Wilson, who does the ads:
That’s a great idea. Yesterday’s ad targeting Rep. Senators who enable trump got a lot of people angry. But we are past needing approval from other Republicans. We will go hard against these Senators. The hour of accountability is here. The only outrage these Senators show is the idea that they will be made to pay for their actions.
The map of soft states we had when we started with was so small. Now it is so large we are going to be in more states than we ever imagined, working against the Rep. enablers.

They also said that in their attacks on enablers they would not be limited by poor chances/odds and polls, that they would be guided by what's right and wrong, which I interpreted as them saying they would go after people like Mitch McConnell, who will be hard to remove.
That was an hour and a half worth watching.
It was really inspiring. I feel less anxious in general, knowing the Lincoln Project is out there, understanding more about them, how committed they are and how big their operation is. They said we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg when we see their ads, and that they are just getting warmed up.
