The Lincoln Project: Flag of Treason



No American should celebrate traitorous Generals whose actions resulted in the deaths of 620,000+ Americans.

Trump is keeping their names on our installations and we're demanding that those names be removed.

1. Why can't Democrats make these kind of ads?

Why do I have to say Bravo to a bunch of Never Trump Republicans? We ought to be doing the Lincoln project on steroids. Make the Lincoln Project the right leaning folks look like the middle of the road.

On edit, Hello Rhiannon12866! Always happy to comment on your posts!

Earlier, I saw yet another anti-Trump rant from Steve Schmidt - He's come up with some of the "best words" that I've heard. And he's yet another never-Trumper often appearing on Nicolle Wallace's show. Though I will give her a break though she worked in the Bush* White House. She didn't turn her back on the Republicans with the advent of Trump, for her it was Sarah Palin.

5. It's going to take some tough convincing to get through to at least some of these folks

I realize that many are beyond hope, are inexplicably blind to the insanity that Trump keeps spewing, but these ads tell it like it is and can hopefully get through to those that are unbelievably on the fence and can motivate those of us who are already convinced to work harder.

Steve Schmidt. He's a great orator. Listen to him on MSNBC. Every time he's on, he hits the points right on. If he's an example of the rest of their members, it's no wonder they do such great ads. I know Steve has been campaign mgr. for several campaigns,. Te one I remember is John McCain's. All I can think is that the Dems don't have such a talented individual in house, so they need to hire one!

The toughest anti-Trump rants I've heard have definitely come from him. And I agree, we need to be tougher than we ever have been before. Having the best candidate obviously isn't enough anymore when we're faced with liars and cheats the likes of which we never experienced before.
