Project 25 supposedly shut down by TSF's campaign: The Daily Beast

[allegorical oracle]

Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita “put the screws” to Project 2025 mastermind Paul Dans in an effort to force him out and shut down the right-wing shop behind a sprawling blueprint that sought to overhaul the federal government and implement an array of far-right policies for a potential Trump administration, a well-placed source told the Daily Beast.

Will we fall for that? Fool me once... it will just fly under the radar until after the election.

1. Flailing and desperate

They look like idiots.

[lame54]

2. It adds up...

20 + 25 = 45

[Lovie777]

11. Good one.....................

[Walleye]

3. Tooo laaate. Too late 🎶

I expect to hear it on the TV news tonight, though, that Trump has distanced himself from project 2025. They fall for it every time.

[Passages]

4. Leonard Leo would never allow such a thing.

They'll likely try and dress it up as something else.

[orthoclad]

8. They already have

T's campaign plan, Project 47 or whatever he called it.

[Passages]

12. omg, there ya go ha ha

Lunatics, every last one.

[dobleremolque]

5. A snake that sheds its skin is still a snake. n/t

[TwilightZone]

6. Not buying it.

What I've never really understood is why Trump ran from it in the first place. I know that it's highly unpopular, but they must have some internal polling or something that says it's abysmally bad for his campaign.

Interesting. While I doubt that this is really going to kill it, the fact that it's been made so public helps. It also tells me that the public is paying more attention than we might have previously thought.

[orthoclad]

7. Their work is done?

900 pp now morphed into T's campaign promises?

[Think. Again.]

9. Ha! rightwingers only lie.

[Hugin]

10. Yeah.. yeah... Lie to me some more weird conman.

The old new name in the Rolodex trick is fooling nobody. The Heritage Foundation and the Christofascists have way to much investment to just walk away. Hell, that’s the whole reason Vance is on the ticket.

[wryter2000]

13. I'm glad is scares them

Keep pounding it into people's heads.

[Sogo]

14. They've just re-branded it as Agenda 47,

and they think that means that P2025 has gone away.

[allegorical oracle]

22. Wondered if anyone here at DU has read the Agenda...I haven't. Have link? nt

[Dave Bowman]

29. Here's a summary:

Pretty much the same thing as project 2025.

[servermsh]

15. It's weird seeing Republicans just run away like this

Usually they aggessively double down and stick with it, no matter how dumb it is. They must be spooked.

[underpants]

30. We are getting bad polling on this, Sir. Trump - get rid of it. No one mentions it around him again.

He thinks it’s done because he has said so.

Sorry cats out of the bag. You can’t put a bullet back in the barrel. Etc.

[Norbert]

16. One was never associated with P25 and the other has

Vote accordingly. I know I will.

[Lovie777]

17. Assholes have renamed it .......................

I believe Agenda "47". 47th president, i.e. shithole.

Stop it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. Yeah, right.

[ananda]

19. LOL -- this is just pretense.

If they're elected, they will implement it.

[spanone]

20. THEY. ALL. LIE. ALL. THE. TIME.

I don't believe a word of this.

[usedtobedemgurl]

21. Someone independent of that group

Needs to form a new web page for all to see. Let’s see the orange menace shut that down.

[Sky Jewels]

23. Yeah, well too bad that pro-Project 2025 book is coming out in September with

an introduction by one JD Vance.

[AnnaLee]

24. Temporarily set aside

Now it's the "Shut Up About It Project"

Later: "They're Back"

Many of these "2025 Project" are Trump cronies and many are ex-appointees and future appointees. Besides, doesn't the use of "2025" give it away? What happens in 2025 if the Harris ticket wins the Whitehouse, another coup attempt, perhaps, but not the "2025 Project" dreams. 2025 is, after all, next year.

[Diraven]

25. Yeah right

"The right wing shop" is the Heritage Foundation. There is no way they are getting "shut down".

[BannonsLiver]

26. I think that's an ancillary reason for why Trump is slipping in the polls.

The primary reason is that Dems are energized and some undecideds may be starting to come off the fence, but I think the drip drip drip of P25 on social media, and in some cases the MSM, has had some impact over the last couple of months. Lot of word of mouth about it as well.

[Jarqui]

27. Trump implemented about 60% of

what the Heritage Foundation wanted in 2016.

So yeah, don't fall for this BS

EDIT:

Jan 23, 2018 Trump Administration Embraces Heritage Foundation Policy Recommendations
https://www.heritage.org/impact/trump-administration-embraces-heritage-foundation-policy-recommendations

One year after taking office, President Donald Trump and his administration have embraced nearly two-thirds of the policy recommendations from The Heritage Foundation’s “Mandate for Leadership.”

The “Mandate for Leadership” series includes five individual publications, totaling approximately 334 unique policy recommendations. Analysis completed by Heritage determined that 64 percent of the policy prescriptions were included in Trump’s budget, implemented through regulatory guidance, or under consideration for action in accordance with The Heritage Foundation’s original proposals.

“President Trump had an extraordinarily successful first year,” says Thomas Binion, director of congressional and executive branch relations at The Heritage Foundation. “He put a conservative on the Supreme Court and he enacted historic pro-growth tax reform. This analysis demonstrates the lesser-known policy success that his administration has been fighting hard to enact.”
...
With approximately 70 former Heritage employees working for the Trump transition team or as part of the administration, the policy recommendations have served as guidelines for reducing the size and scope of the federal government through specific and detailed actions.

Is there any doubt?

[ret5hd]

28. Very pointed discussion about...

speaking about Project 2025:

[badhair77]

31. Oh no no no . . .

That crap needs to stay on his shoes forever. There’s no getting rid of that.

[blogslug]

32. They are all liars

Why believe anything said by any one of them?

[Bev54]

33. A well placed source, yeah sure, another Trump sycophant that is trying to get us to

believe this shit. The media keeps falling for the BS but we have been subjected to this for nearly 10 years by MSM and no longer believe unnamed sources. Trump wants the narrative changed.

[Blue Owl]

34. The cockroaches just scurried under the rug

They'll be back as soon as the spotlight isn't shining on them....

[ancianita]

35. NAIL Trump/Vance with that book every damn day for the next 98 days.

It's in WRITING.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

36. TFG will not escape this issue
