(I know, that's a dumb thing to ask during BunkerBoy's mis-administration) as to how effective these "Lincoln Project" ads are regarding shift in opinion? Of course I think they're great, but maybe these ads are only preaching to the choir.
Is anybody in "the congregation" listening?

They are throwing Molotov cocktails at him non-stop to keep him off message. Baiting him to hit back and he does, every single time and if he’s hitting at them he’s not hitting at Biden. Know thy enemy at its finest.

while watching that video of the town hall they had last week. That is the mission but now they are fundraising to go after the Senators who need to be ousted.

He voted for him last time. Said he wasn't this time.

Said he was independent. Wife is on left.

do we have proof that it is working as they/we would like?
Can we do better (in proving the impact) other than to perhaps like his slumping poll numbers?

I'm SURE political researchers could provide it - but is it known/available yet?

people who say they are republicans but will vote for Biden.

But their videos are also about provoking Trump. It's about messing with his head and just ridiculing him.

Everyone has an impact, we may not see it, but it’s a slow accumulation of impacts-statements to those that already know, kinda know, and don’t want to know. But, drip, drip, drip... it’s having some impact. All they have to do is change 77,000 voters over three states.

It keeps up with the volume of BS trump puts out.
