The Lincoln Project haven't said a single word about Amy Coney Barrett
Not one. Why is that?

Meanwhile former Lincoln Project personality George Conway had this to say:

It's their money, and just because they spent it trying to defeat Trump doesn't mean we owe them anything.
Expecting Republicans to save the nation is the height of delusional theatrics. Brings to mind the adulation of Rod Rosenstein, the guy who killed the Mueller investigation billed as "being the hero America needs " 
Fuck every Republican. Always.
There was a time when that wouldn't have been a controversial view here. But I guess things change.
They can have their Republicans. To quote Bill Clinton, I wouldn't walk across the road to piss in their ears if their brains were on fire.
and still want to argue anyway, that would make sense. Still waiting for you to name someone else Trump nominated yesterday that the tweet was talking about.

I sense a goalpost being moved.
This group is fine with Trumps crazy ass SC pick. 
She's right up their fucking alley.
Even he admitted that he couldn't get out the youth vote.
I think we need to be focusing on keeping our most reliable voters on our team - and those are not independents and the youth vote. It's women of color, who chose Biden overwhelmingly.
A candidate running on the Democratic ticket can most certainly benefit from the weaponry provided by Republicans without welcoming Republicans, and not discouraging their supporters from sharing, and still call themselves the most progressive Democratic candidate ever.
In fact, I believe that's your opinon on said candidate.
It's not and it doesn't.
I know it's hard to admit when one is wrong, but doubling down is really much more embarassing.
Not a one.
"Fuck em group" even if he is voting for his first Dem, I well Remember Tom Ridge. He can have his medal or a chest to pin it on. But I'm tired of your Republicans so I'm gonna use DU's best feature.
The "not even in her grave" part was priceless.
And agreeing with the Lincoln Project, who hates Trump, when they bash Trump is ONE AND THE SAME with agreeing with ALL Republicans and ALL their polices and.....

You're also racking up the count on false dilemma fallacies, as well.
When you run out of any logical responses in an effort to defend melman, but still feel a need to post anyway, I guess wild accusations are all that's left.
"In the great state of Vermont, I got 25% of Republican votes"
"There are republicans, for instance who are concerned about the high cost of drugs."

They have a story to tell.
Sanders spoke at a CNN town hall, where he referenced writing “one of the most sweeping veterans bills in history” with the last Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and working with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) to end the U.S. participation in the war in Yemen.

“If Trump wants to develop a rational trade policy that demands that corporations start investing in this country instead of China, that’s something that we can work on,” he added.

he spoke at Liberty University, founded by Jerry's father, to continue republican evangelical conservatism.
Why do you ask?
"In the great state of Vermont, I got 25% of Republican votes"
"There are republicans, for instance who are concerned about the high cost of drugs."

It really lends credibility to one's arguments, doesn't it?
he "couldn't hear". What a vid.. and melania skulking away, too.
With their Black Masks.
Their plot has been foiled!11
Seriously the totally irrational hate obsession with these guys by some here is so unintentionally hilarious I can hardly stand it.
I shall giggle about it for days and weeks to come.
Someone seems to have awoken this morning in a mood to stir things up, and lo and behold, it worked. 
The Lincoln Project people are fighting Trump in the blazing light of their burning bridges. They will have no home to go to when this is over. That takes guts.
I don't get the point. Did Never Trump Republicans suddenly pretend to be liberals? Must've missed that.
I mean, if even insinuating that any Republicans have something positive to contribute is "attacking Democratic principles," what are you saying about Bernie????????

I love ya, peggysue.
Guess to some that means I'm going to marry the Lincoln Project, promise to love and trust them forever and ever. 
... is already taking on a tremendous endeavor to help defeat Trump. That is their stated purpose, and have been completely up front about it. Now people are expecting them to take on the whole goddamn load of every issue the Democrats have problem with? The last thing we need is to depend upon the Lincoln project to fight all of our battles. What kind of message does that send?
Most of us understand that under ordinary circumstances the Lincoln project would not exist. They would be Republicans being Republicans, but these are extraordinary times, and it is of mutual benefit to both parties to remove Trump from office. This is why the Lincoln project does exist. Everything else can be fought out, debated, or agreed to when this country has returned to some degree of normalcy.
Nothing beats logic, with a little dash common sense.
You take every vote you can get! What about voters who might vote for Biden but aren't on board with every progressive issue? Goodness, let's reject them too! 
No one's going to defend strawmen that you set up and attack.
than simply either simply saying "Got me there" or silence.
Wow. Who knew that would make you so irate! I mean I assume you know where the goalpost was you're so invested!
"Binky" as slang means someone they covet, someone they've groomed, someone they see as a rising star. And Amy Creepy Barrett is someone they've been grooming since she clerked for Scalia.
But I'm sure all these members of the Lincoln Project always hated old Antonino and thought he always was an extremist.
Please let us know about them.
other than Amy Comey Barrett?
Got it.

But do tell us - what "Trump nominee" is the Lincoln Project talking about with power to overturn the ACA?
Seriously, it's way more embarrassing to double down than it is to simply say, "I hadn't seen that when I posted the OP, I'll edit it or delete it."
Breathe.....
Not me.
BTW - still waiting on what other "Trump nominee" in that tweet you're trying so hard to deny was talking about if not Barrett. One that has the power to overturn the ACA, to be specific. There were so many, weren't there?
It’s that simple.
Why so shy about mentioning her name?
They don't have that problem with other names. Try searching their profile for "McConnell" or "Graham" and you'll see.
Yeah, it's a cute trick talking about "priorities" and "this nominee" in order to give the impression they really said something when they haven't.
But why not come out and explicitly say "we oppose the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett"?
Because they don't.
But do keep trying to copy and paste previous posts that don't answer the question instead, because that totally makes you right, and is not frantic doubling down whatsoever.
Your argument is moot if you can't even suggest who they were talking about if not the SCOTUS nominee Amy Barette - but do try to claim the tweet had nothing to do with the ACA again. That was fun.
Even Autumn has given up trying to come to your rescue.
BTW - absence of evidence does not = evidence of absence. That's the fallacy that you've been trying to prop up the most in your refusal to admit you are wrong. If everything is soaking wet outside with water dripping off the trees into puddles when you go out to get the paper, you can insist "IT DIDN"T RAIN LAST NIGHT" until you are blue in the face, but if you can't explain the water that's everywhere otherwise, no one is going to take you seriously no matter how loudly and how many times you repeat "IT DIDN"T RAIN LAST NIGHT"
Because that would mean the claim in melman's OP is WRONG, and he's not doubling down by his flurry of responses.
And that just can't be!
They have been SILENT on the nomination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Link to tweet
of KNOWING who they are TALKING ABOUT!!!
There were SO MANY people that Trump nomiated this week, and ALL of them could have impact on the ACA so WHO COULD IT BE????
The fucking name wasn't mentioned. ROFL.
Supporters of a Democratic Candidate sharing Republican funded ads is JUST WRONG, you say?
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-19/republican-operatives-are-trying-to-help-bernie-sanders
I mean there were SO many nominations by Trump yesterday... especially to positions where they could damage the ACA.
Right?
You are trying so hard to deny the existence of that tweet that you are refusing to read it!
"We’re in a pandemic. Trump wants to take away protections for preexisting conditions with this nominee.
It’s that simple."
But I'll play your game. Who else was nominated by Trump even this week, that the tweet would be talking about, let alone that would be capable of overturning pre-existing conditions?
I sense goalposts being moved yet again....
The day before she was officially named as the nominee.
The tweet that's got you so upset was the day of the Trump nominating Barrett about Trump's nominee, and how it would affect the pre-existing conditions
But I'll play your game. What about that video indicates any support fior Amy Coney Barrett or that they are talking about only certain nominees being unacceptable for him to put forth? I don't hear them supporting her, just railing against the idea that he's nominating anyone...
But do tell us what nominee the Lincoln Project was tweeting about, and your assertion that they were not talking about her would make sense.
Response to melman (Original post)
It's not like Democratic candidates haven't knowingly been the beneficiary of $$$$$$$ worth of GOP media ads before, and it wasn't like the candidate told his supporters to stop sharing on social media.
Know your history befeore you rant about how Republicans kicking in monetary support for Democrats is UNACCEPTABLE and MUST BE REJECTED....
Case in point:

Who said you have to worship them? Certainly not me. 
Maybe you responded to the wrong poster.
I can only see a third of the posts in this thread, so perhaps I am missing something.
Can you tell us who is offering them jobs? I haven't seen ANYONE tweet that they are.
someone in a thread.
Lulz.
Hon, it's just not working. Nobody is bothering to defend against accusations that someone else pulled out of thin air.
on his 4 years in office.
I have no doubt that some in TLP are anti abortion, and also some are pro choice.
Barrett is going to be confirmed to the SC, and there is nothing either you or TLP can do about it. Nothing.
The question then becomes, if you make this a shitfest on abortion, it will swing wavering Republicans back to the fold, cheering the GOP up.
However, if you make it about that Barrett will vote to kill the ACA, and pre-existing conditions, then you move the fight to a pitch that Democrats will be more than comfortable fighting on.
But Yay for ideological purity !
Still waiting for one of you to splain what Trump nominee the Lincoln Project was talking about in that tweet, since it CLEARLY wasn't about Amy Comey Barrett. Absence of evidence is TOTALLY evidence of absence, as they say.
Yeah, they're TOTALLY all about Trump nominating someone before inaguration.
Link to tweet
I'm praising all Republicans and all their policies? And want to offer them jobs! And have their Babies!!!!
Gee, calm down, will ya?
Still can't explain what Trump nominee that tweet was referring to if not Amy Comey Barrett, I see. I understand. There were just so many...
that come from people who aren't pure enough for my standards.
Fuck anyone who might help defeat Trump if they're the "wrong" people.
From Twitter itself:
Joe Biden has that badge, neither of these two very important people have it.
So I don't see how his opinion is relevant to any discussion of the Lincoln Projects tweets from the last day or so, I think you'd agree. After all, George didn't even name the Lincoln Project in his tweet. So to assume that he's speaking for them is pretty silly, wouldn't you say?
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/513323-george-conway-says-he-is-withdrawing-from-lincoln-project
I suppose one other random guy on twitter who hasn't caught up with what's been tweeted TOTALLY shows that you're not alone in getting that wrong.
The Lincoln Project tweet must've been about some OTHER nomination that Trump made yesterday that has the potential to impact the ACA existing conditions clause, huh? Still sticking with that? Because they're SO supportive of Trump nominating ANYONE to replace RGB...
And I'll save you some embarassment - the video was from before the nomination, which is why it doesn't name her. It was their tweet that was right after her nomination about "his nominee" that you're trying very hard to deny. You're welcome.
Response to melman (Original post)
Quadrupling down on something once one has been corrected on a rather huge error is so much less embarassing than simply owning that one made a mistake, apparently...
That TOTALLY PROVES that the Nominee that Trump put forward the other day is NOT the Trump nominee that the Lincoln Project is talking about in their tweet.
But I still don't see anyone talking about who it is instead...
Your OP is COMPLETELY validated, because a few people on twitter can't explain it any more than you can. One of them seems to also be completely unaware that Conway left a month ago. It seems they are also unaware of what's been tweeted and released by the Lincoln Project.
But do splain how this supports the nomination of Barrett. We'll wait.
https://lincolnproject.us/news/ginsburg/
Oh dear. I distinctly remember someone insisting that posting a tweet means one of three things:
You visit that person's Twitter page
You follow that person
You follow someone who retweets that person
Why would anyone be okay with Biden-bashing?
meanwhile...
It's gotta be embarassing when even the Spectator figures out when a GOP SCOTUS nominee is being attacked, and you keep on doubling down that it's not true.
And guess what. There wasn't a single mention of Amy Coney Barrett.
And why do I search twitter for Lincoln Project statements? Because Twitter is their main platform where they have 2.2 million followers, and the place where they post all of their views and all all of their videos. As you well know.
And twitter is still the place where they have not mentioned the name Amy Coney Barrett. At All. Even once.
which is this: "The Lincoln Project haven't said a single word about Amy Coney Barrett"
Says so right at the top.
TOTALLLY irrelevant to your OP...
I hadn't heard that TLP had called her that - sharing a link to your source would enhance your credibility.
And here's some fawning adoration of her by TLP, wouldn't you say:
