[Nikki28]

guys left to do our messaging for us. Steve is now a Democrat now and should be put to use as well as Rick wilson.Thoughts?

[malaise]

1. NO n/t

[Laelth]

2. No. They're doing quite well on their own. n/t

[LovingA2andMI]

3. NOPE....

Next.

[gibraltar72]

4. I think individual campaigns should.

Those guys know how to motivate people. Our guys are to genteel. It ain't beanbag.

5. Meidas project is doing good work too (Democrats). But, I am not opposed to accepting help

from whoever can be effective. That does NOT mean turning over the campaigns to certain groups.

[demmiblue]

6. No. n/t

[Peacetrain]

7. I know one thing for sure.. they impressed the stuffing out of me

I was so glad they were on our side.. they know how to talk to the other side.. so while individuals may join the Democratic party.. I think they are probably more comfortable as Independents now.. but I would never ever turn down their help.. and would be proud as hell to say thank you for all their efforts

[we can do it]

18. They're not on our side. They love money first, and hate drump.

[Bev54]

8. No and I do believe Steve left the group

They are republicans and are out to rid their party of Trumpers. It helps the dems but they are not a dem group.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Absolutely YES. Messaging not our strong suit!

[awesomerwb1]

10. Absolutely

But not as the "Lincoln Project". Hire their people and build on that.

[JHB]

11. No. Support our own people, our own talent. Fund OUR people

The only numbers giving them high marks for effectiveness come from TLP itself, which should be taken with a mine of salt.

And then there's the, shall we say, questionable directing of funds...

“It raises questions about where the rest of the money ultimately went,” said Brendan Fischer with the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center in Washington. “Generally speaking, you’d expect to see a major super PAC spend a majority or more of their money on advertisements, and that’s not what happened here.”

Records show that only about one-third, $27 million, of the money raised by the super PAC went to TV and online advertisements during the 2020 election cycle.

The majority of the PAC’s funds were split by consulting companies controlled by the group’s leadership, including $27 million paid to a firm run by Reed Galen and $21 million to a firm run by Ron Steslow, a former Lincoln Project member.

12. Hard facepalm

They covered for a sexual predator. They cannot account for all the money they took in (I can - they paid themselves, friends, and family rather handsomely).

C'mon with this group already . . .

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. Lol.

[machoneman]

14. We can easily mimic their success with our own smart people. That is, if we care to do so.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. No. They made it clear from the very beginning they were anti-Trump,

not pro-Democratic Party. Why would we want to hire a group that wants us to fail? Were you not paying attention?

[we can do it]

16. NO

[Hortensis]

17. Can't imagine why anyone'd think the DNC would hire The Lincoln Project.

Even if they weren't currently disgraced. Except hostiles trying to link the DNC with their disgrace?

Our political goals overlap, as those of responsible people always will, but they always were and are moderate conservatives committed to restoring a party that properly serves America's conservatives. The DNC elects Democrats.

[bigtree]

19. nope

...they don't represent me.

[MuseRider]

20. No and I do not think they ever would allow

themselves to be under a party. Steve is no longer with them. They will do their own thing and for now they are still with us, worried about a takeover and I think it is best they do not have to answer to any party or that may hamper them.

I am just hoping there is something left after the finish cleaning up the mess.

[Baked Potato]

21. Nope. No need there.

[WA-03 Democrat]

22. Gee Whiz

If only Democrats could figure a way to 84m votes for Joe Biden. Oh we did? With no republicans too? Wow maybe it’s our message is believed by a majority of Americans.

We don’t need them and their value of turning Republicans into Democrats did not move anyone. Did I like the videos? Sure but they were preaching to the choir. Did I like the DNC convention and the inauguration 10,000 times better-absolutely!!!

[Miguelito Loveless]

23. Absolutely NOT!

Why do we have to keep explaining these people are evil grifters?

[Kingofalldems]

24. Absopositively!

[Corgigal]

25. Sure,

we get to see the project in its final form, then they pay.
