Galen Reed - Politico Interview

“It’s not just pissing off Donald Trump. Anybody could do that ... It’s, to what effect? Like, why are you doing it? And the point is to take him off his game and take his campaign off their game, strategically and tactically, so that the Biden campaign and Joe Biden can have the freedom of movement and the green air to do the things that they need to do.”

The Lincoln Project's objectives have 'evolved' since 2018. They are now set on burning the GOP to the ground.

I'm sure that ad featuring Brad Parscale was the beginning of his down fall and the empty stadium in Tulsa was the final straw. Trump seeing the millions that Brad had grifted from campaign funds had to piss him off even more because of his overt display of his new wealth shown in the ad. Who needs 3 condos and 3 or 4 expensive cars and a a yacht to boot?

It's likely why he talked about the ramp and drinking water at that Tulsa rally.

With all that greed and grifting, he is like family. Let's just call Tulsa his Trump University moment.

I'm grateful we have them for this campaign, but they're not going to be available to us as a regular thing.
