Lincoln Project launches $1M offensive against Trump in Texas

Source: The Hill

The Lincoln Project on Tuesday launched a $1 million campaign against President Trump in Texas as Election Day looms.

The Republican anti-Trump group is targeting Hispanic and female voters in the Lone Star State, where polls show a competitive race between the president and Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Mike Madrid, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, said Trump has "dramatically accelerated” Texas’s move to becoming a swing state.

“The polling data is undeniable and has been consistent for months -- Republican voters are leaving Trump and Democrats are historically energized to turn him out of office,” he said in a statement. “We see an opportunity in Texas and we are going to take advantage of it.”

I wish they'd send some of their magic to Kentucky to get rid of Moscow Mitch McConnell. I wish McConnell would never see another election.

Even from an atheist. McConnell is running really nasty ads against Amy McGrath here now.

Electing Biden here ends any chance for Trump. And I would dearly love to see useless John Cornyn retired. And then Beto for governor in 2022.

definitely scared when they have to deal with disgruntled former party members because they know they're facing an uphill battle. TLP is hellbent on making sure the Con & the party of Idiots that enable him are destroyed. At least for now TLP is our friend and i thank them for their sensibility.
