Dems (and Lincoln Project True Republicans) should be hammering away at the RepubliCON Senators up for re-election..

Man..... That was excellent! Republican or not these people know how to get their point across and very well too. You have to respect The Lincoln Project for taking no prisoners with their ad's. Every single one I've seen is great and this one is no exception. Hell, I might even send them a few bucks.

While I and them have different beliefs about certain things I DO believe they have the welfare of the country in mind. At least the entire party of Lincoln hasn't completely drank the Kool Aid and jumped up our chump in chiefs ass. Kudos to these people and I mean that sincerely.

McSally is NOT going to win against Mark Kelly. And I don't think Maine is going to re-elect Susan "Clutch my pearls" Collins.

But McConnell and Graham are truly satan's little helpers. These two have got to be taken out. Not only can we not take another four years of the unhinged maggot, but we can't take six more years of these two. Cornyn, Gardner, Tillis are nothing without McConnell. I wish they'd cut him off at the knees. And I'd love to see someone - not McGrath - but someone dig into his military records (and explain his early discharge), which seem to have gotten sucked into the black hole of we-don't-want-to-go-there.

Without McSally, Collins, Tillis, Gardner, et. al, McConnell is minority leader. His power is taken away from him. We stand a better chance of that than him losing his election.

But don't count out Amy McGrath just yet. She has a powerful message to deliver. And being a Lt. Colonel in the USMC, having been a fighter pilot, doesn't hurt her, either.

Are the Dems putting out any attack ads? I love what the Lincoln Project has been doing but I don't really see or hear any ads from Dem/Lib groups. I'm in a solid blue state so maybe that's why I don't see any, or maybe they're waiting until it's closer to the election.

While referring to the Lincoln Project ads. He noted that these anti-Trump Republicans are mean (they are still Republicans after all), they mean business, don't mince words, and fellow Democrats should take off the kid gloves and start behaving likewise.

Thu May 7, 2020, 01:51 PM
May 2020


Susan Collins, McSally, Gardner, and Thom Tillis were the first four targets.

If the Dems opposing Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsay get close, they will go after them as well.

They want to spend enough money to keep Trump rage tweeting so that they can generate more.

They will help us flip the Senate and win the White House.

A wise move would be to include some of these folks in cabinet/sub-cabinet positions when all is said and done. Many great Presidents including Lincoln did. You don't want an echo chamber in the cabinet

These ads are devastating and put out by Republicans. Democrats need to take up the challenge and put up ads at least as good or better than this. Healthy competitions creates greatness. It is the Mamba mentality. Democrats remember Kobe. Mamba mentality. We can make an ad ten times better than this. Let’s go for it. Kick azz and take no prisoners!
