Thank You,

The Lincoln Project & Republican Voters Against Trump

1. LOL

"We screwed up. We got 10 percent."

Love it.

[Budi]

2. IKR! 😂 hahaa Steve Bannon!

This was their main goal & focus all along. And they exceeded the margin!

On to Georgia!!

[Spazito]

5. I certainly welcome their support on the Georgia runoffs!

If they could "screw up" again and get another "10%" I believe the Democrats would win both seats giving them the Senate.

[Budi]

11. K & R 👍

[empedocles]

3. Crucial TPL

[Captain Zero]

4. Bannon, Putin, and Rove decided there were triggers that could not be pulled this election

Bannon couldn't because he is in prison.

[obamanut2012]

6. Bannon isn't in prison

[Budi]

9. That happened back when Bannon was being hauled into court.

Too late now to save Trump. TLP & RVAT stole his successful game plan of percentages while he was embroiled in his own legal business..

[Budi]

7. Well that blew a hole in the percentage plan! 'Steve's in prison!' 😬

So the Repubs from TLP, already knowing about the percentage plan, simply set out to turn it against Tump, & with Bannon safely out of commission.

God that's freakin cutthroat. What a business!

[hedda_foil]

12. He's not in prison yet. There has to be a -- you know -- trial.

[Budi]

13. Ok. Right. Think Bannon was trying to avoid a trial. After the yacht arrest.

Little shit.

8. Taking full credit

[melman]

10. According to the Lincoln Project

[womanofthehills]

14. Those guys are pretty smart - and of course, Rick Wilson is super entertaining

Their podcasts are very informative. They know the Republican mind.

[LanternWaste]

18. If you have objective analyses of the numbers...

and how the LP may or may not have assisted in Biden's victory, you could certainly provide it for us.

Or rationalize why you can't/won't, and simply engage in unsupported allegations.

I'm placing ten bucks on number two, but I'm not really a betting man and may be wrong.

[melman]

19. I'll let them go first

Let's see them provide some independent corroboration on these claims.


Sorry, but twitter chest-puffing from two members of the group really doesn't cut it.

[Wednesdays]

32. Corroboration or not,

would you rather they be fighting against us?

[melman]

33. I'm afraid I don't buy the premise of the question

which appears to be that they are now fighting for us.

[progressoid]

22. The OP's tweet doesn't have any objective analyses of the numbers either.

[George II]

34. I think he/she figured anyone interested would research it themselves.

15. RVAT made a difference in AZ

They put real money in electronic billboards lining the freeways with a AZ flag as a backdrop and a simple Biden across the front.

They were simple but beautiful. In small print Republicans against Trump

They also ran great testimonials on TV.

[Budi]

16. RVAT Twitter has a bunch of testimonials & congrats to Joe & Kamala

I'd never visited their twitter till now, but it's a reassuring read.

17. Excellent!

I have to admit, I was way off here. I thought "The Bannon Rule" was that if you are drunk and fall out during a meeting, any or all of the others can put your hand in a basin of warm water.

[Budi]

21. Lol..looking at Bannon, I'd believe that to be the Real Bannon rule

He's such a slob...

[mcar]

20. Kick

[KY_EnviroGuy]

23. Let's not allow this to overshadow the real campaign workers....

like GOTV troops, phone banks and the millions of small $$$ contributors that really made this victory possible.


But kudos to everyone on both sides that helped to get each vote.....

[station agent]

24. This is ridiculous

Joe would have gotten every bit of that without them. Let these Republicans show their work before we give them credit for our win. Their party got away from them, we can't just let them take ours.

[Budi]

25. Ok. It took a massive campaign of all hands involved.

I'll gladly give credit to anyone that lent time, effort & if TLP & RVAT played a percentage game to grab enough of their Repub voters for Biden, then kudos to them as well.

I have no problem with this.

[Cha]

27. NO. It's "ridiculous" to claim that

TLP didn't help.

[JI7]

30. A candidate like Biden certainly helps in creating good ads

[Cha]

26. Perfect! I know TLP helped!

It's ridiculous that anyone who wanted to Beat trump would drag on them..

TLP helped us Win Arizona!!

[helpisontheway]

29. True...and Cindy McCain. Nt

[Cha]

31. Yes & The Navajo Nation!! & Latinos! All

Hanks On Deck!

👍

[OregonBlue]

36. Let's not give them full credit. There were lots of devoted Dems who worked their tales off.

On the other hand, I think their video ads were really good and did change some voters minds. Middle of the road Republicans couldn't help but be convinced.

[Budi]

37. No one's giving anyone full credit & that's how it should be.

This post for TLP, is about their assist in drawing a percentage of Repubs away from Trump. Using the same percentage rule that Steve Bannon calculated, only they used it in reverse.

Joe Biden & his campaign team hold the most credit for his win & even he wouldn't take full credit for the amazing result.

The Win is due to a force of many with the same goal in mind. How they chose to reach that end is a masterclass in creativity & dedication.
