In reply to the discussion: The Lincoln Project as soon as the election is over [View all]BannonsLiver

That if we click our heels three times the opposition will disappear forever and Democrats will have a 100-0 advantage in the senate in perpetuity and every house seat, state legislature and governorship.
Spoiler alert: We wont ever have that. So if guys like Steve Schmidt want to reconstitute a new center right opposition party I say go for it. Id rather that be the opposition than the loonies that are dominant now. That way in the future when we lose, and we will lose, because nobody ever wins them all, insane people are not in charge of our government.

True. If the Democrats put out these same ads they wouldn't have the same effect on Republicans ...

I don't think this OP will change the results of the election. And I am extremely glad they are
