Rick Wilson speaks for me. Again.

1. Last time i checked Wilson gave us trump.

[Loki Liesmith]

4. Not so much

[Pillow talk]

5. more than me

[OnDoutside]

6. The GOP yes, Trump no. He's been a Never Trumper from the start.

[Pillow talk]

7. he has done nothing to influence the other party. zero

[OnDoutside]

8. What other party ?

[Pillow talk]

9. the opposition party! aka republicans

[OnDoutside]

10. He was a well connected Republican strategist for 30 years,

always opposed Trump, and is a founding member of the Lincoln project which is dedicated to bringing Trump down. He'll never be a Democrat, but he's very much on the same side as the Democrats in wanting to take Trump down, while stating that the GOP must die.

That's good enough.

[Pillow talk]

11. you are mistaken imo. he has zero chance of taking down trump. only dems can do that

[OnDoutside]

14. Eh ? He's doing his bit, and specifically the Lincoln Project are targeting

Key Swing states with hard hitting ads, ads which are a particular skill of Wilson's. You should check out the devastating ad he did against Roy Moore, as an example. Democrats alone can't beat Trump, it's going to take a broad coalition of Dems, Independents and moderate Republicans. It would be short sighted to believe otherwise.

[Pillow talk]

18. Again i disagree with your analysis. dems can defeat trump on their own. The caveat

is independents not republicans.

[OnDoutside]

20. A narrow Presidential win maybe but you will not win the Senate

which means gridlock in Washington yet again. There's a chance to win all three branches while giving the Republicans an almighty beating in November. Thankfully the Democratic primary voters seem to believe the same strategy, rather than polarising politics.

[Pillow talk]

25. no . trump has shown to some extent that PUTOS power has no limit.

[OnDoutside]

30. It would be a mistake to think any other president will get away with

What Trump has gotten away with, so far. Apart from appointing shit judges, he has achieved little. If you think that's the way a Democratic president should behave, good luck with that.

[Pillow talk]

32. it would be a mistake to think they can't

[OnDoutside]

34. Apart from you, who else is thinking like that ?

[Pillow talk]

36. I've no idea.

[Celerity]

23. if you do not think Never Trumpers can play a potentially significant role in bringing Trump down

then what is you feeling on Stein and the greenies impact on 2016?

To be logically consistent, you surely must discount any notion of a negative impact emanating from Jill the Putin shill on the outcome.

welcome to DU btw

[FM123]

28. Yep. These never trumpers like Wilson do play a role in helping us bring trump down.

[DownriverDem]

42. Also

relatively sane folks too. I agree about Rick Wilson and trump. He's been at it from the begging. The Lincoln Project is viable & focused.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. You make a mistake when you don't ally with people in a common cause.

You are making that mistake with Wilson.

You are absolutely wrong to think that he has no effect against tRump.

[Pillow talk]

19. i would welcome the evidence

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Enjoy your stay. . . . nt

[Pillow talk]

35. You're provocations is noted

[Hekate]

12. Welcome to DU, and get your facts straight. There are Never- Trumpers in this world...

...who are now and have been for years EX-Republicans. They speak against Trump now, and spoke against him when he was running in 2015-16.

You don't have to like their personal political history, but never doubt their patriotism or well-founded disgust at Trump and Trumpists.

[Pillow talk]

13. thank you. i have my history of the republican party straight.

[catbyte]

24. This is The Lincoln Project's latest ad. It's more effective than some DNC ads.

Remember what Winston Churchill said in 1941 about Josef Stalin: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

And here are a couple other good ones:

[onetexan]

43. i tried watching the first one and cannot stomach the willful & woeful ignorance.

[catbyte]

15. You didn't check closely enough.

He may be a republican, but he's been a fervent Never Trumper since that thing rode down that escalator, even before.

[Pillow talk]

21. these same folks drill us dems on policy. They are not our friend

[catbyte]

26. You should broaden your thinking. We'd all be speaking German now if the Allies hadn't aligned with

Stalin from 1941 to 1945.

[Pillow talk]

29. you can't be serious. there was a bit more to that

[catbyte]

38. Welcome to the Land of Ignore. Have a nice stay.

[Wednesdays]

45. Seconded. nt

[DonaldsRump]

37. You're free to say and think what you want

But I think your ideas make no sense. There are TONS of Republicans that are appalled at Trump and his utter incompetency, particularly with handling the Trump Virus. I am calling it that in the US to remember the "man" who singlehandedly is responsible for spreading it.

I cannot understand why you think, for example, the Lincoln Project is not legitimate. Do you think the ads posted by another DUer are subliminal ads telling people to actually vote for Trump? They are devastating pieces.

There are still many people who were formerly Republicans who were decent folks, and I have worked and been friends with many people. So many of them are disgusted with Trump, and this was prior to The Trump Virus.

You can keep on saying what you're saying, but your posts are growing increasingly illogical.

Flame away if you wish.

[justgamma]

48. Remember when Agent Orange

used to call Hannity every night. What did they call their conversations? Very interesting.

[IndianaDave]

41. I read through all of your subsequent remarks and responses below.

I have some questions. Do you disagree with what Rick Wilson tweeted? Or do you simply like to argue and distract from the main point of the post? Whether Rick is a Republican, an immigrant, or a Russian troll, I absolutely agree with what he wrote. Do you? What's your purpose?

[tanyev]

2. He really has a way with words.

[FM123]

3. Not only does he speak for me,

he does one better with the brilliant nicknames....

[Corgigal]

16. I'm lucky,

I guess. Our Gov Andy does his daily briefing at 5 pm and our local NBC doesn’t break away.

[Catman33]

22. Not So Fast

Wilson is the man behind the Reverend Wright attack on Obama.

[Wednesdays]

46. Again, do you disagree with his statement in the OP?

If so, why?

[SBoy]

33. Nope

Sarah Palin’s Campaign Manager will never speak for me.

[CatMor]

39. Love his tweets ....

I'll take anyone who consistently speaks against trump.
Wilson does it very effectively.

[Joinfortmill]

40. Yup, tune the MF out.

[JHB]

44. Rick never speaks for me because he's usually just repeating...

... some version of what I've been saying for the last three decades about Republicans while he was diligently chumming the water to reshape his party into what it is today.

Me and other liberals. Here he's almost quoting Jon Stewart.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

47. But Munchausen syndrome by proxy FITS Fuckwit von [ Clownface Munchausen ]!
