If Lincoln Project REALLY wants to bring down trump, why don't they run someone against him??? [View all] BamaRefugee Jul 2020 OP

Less credibility? empedocles Jul 2020 #1

Gary Johnson took 3X more votes away from Trump than Jill Stein did from Hillary Clinton TheBlackAdder Jul 2020 #38

Could potentially siphon off Biden as well. RandySF Jul 2020 #2

Trump needs to crash and burn from the American People rejecting him. Baked Potato Jul 2020 #3

Easy. The answer is that they want Republicans to vote for Biden. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2020 #4

This!! Thekaspervote Jul 2020 #7

Yup. flibbitygiblets Jul 2020 #16

And -- if I might add, stopdiggin Jul 2020 #17

Yes, they prefer Joe Biden. Budi Jul 2020 #23

Nope Proud Liberal Dem Jul 2020 #5

Great way to give NeverTrumpers somebody to vote for besides Biden. NT enough Jul 2020 #6

It would siphon off moderate republicans, like my brother, AJT Jul 2020 #8

Do you really want the Lincoln Project running ads against Biden? Ms. Toad Jul 2020 #9

They still run their ads, but also put up someone WORSE than trump to siphon off the hater/racist BamaRefugee Jul 2020 #12

Here, watch this interview with Rick Wilson, which explains much OnDoutside Jul 2020 #19

To put up someone worse than Trump (if you can find them) would destroy their credibility muriel_volestrangler Jul 2020 #50

I think that we're getting something out of this tactical alliance. backscatter712 Jul 2020 #20

Republicans would vote R awesomerwb1 Jul 2020 #10

They are running someone against him. Biden. chia Jul 2020 #11

How would they do that? LiberalFighter Jul 2020 #13

Lincoln Project ad for Biden: chia Jul 2020 #14

I disagree. Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #15

I'd tell you the answer melman Jul 2020 #21

Naa. Sounds more like some are just miffed that LP is moving their base to Biden's Dem side Budi Jul 2020 #24

DU is for those who want to elect Democrats. LP wants to elect the Democratic nominee betsuni Jul 2020 #26

Don't forget some ideologues wanted to take Biden down with the Tara Reade non-story. OnDoutside Jul 2020 #28

That's right.. that didn't work out so well for them since Cha Jul 2020 #37

That was despicable. I'll never forget any of it. betsuni Jul 2020 #44

Really? sheshe2 Jul 2020 #29

Oh wow.. that's right. Again there's a word for that.. What was that's guy's name.. Cha Jul 2020 #39

Yep. sheshe2 Jul 2020 #43

Precisely, she.. TLP came on their own because they want trump GONE.. this is an Excellent sample.. Cha Jul 2020 #45

Credit to the LP. sheshe2 Jul 2020 #46

Bazinga! George II Jul 2020 #42

Winning is the key word la-trucker Jul 2020 #51

The key word is Denver melman Jul 2020 #52

Winning for Democrats is universally desired la-trucker Jul 2020 #55

But you told me it was Denver melman Jul 2020 #56

Interesting la-trucker Jul 2020 #60

You're telling me! melman Jul 2020 #64

Who on DU would NOT consider winning by/for Democrats as "universally desired". George II Jul 2020 #66

Astonishing isn't it? la-trucker Jul 2020 #67

The population of the US is 330 million, population of Denver only 600,000. George II Jul 2020 #69

I hope we learned almost 4 years ago what damage can be done in the name of purity. George II Jul 2020 #58

Such a simple concept la-trucker Jul 2020 #61

So are you also saying the Lincoln Project should be running a far right nutjob? muriel_volestrangler Jul 2020 #53

That's what it looks like, from the OP and person you responded to. That would defeat the purpose.. George II Jul 2020 #57

This. I voted for the first time in 1970. I can tell you from DECADES of experience, NEVER trust a BamaRefugee Jul 2020 #62

Things are different now. Back then we had more moderate Republicans JI7 Jul 2020 #36

Hence the Lincoln Project. Xolodno Jul 2020 #40

im fine with that. ther country would be far better without a major party JI7 Jul 2020 #41

Agree. They are actually setting the stage to get another George Bush elected. BamaRefugee Jul 2020 #63

Trump can't win a two-person race... W_HAMILTON Jul 2020 #27

I don't think they want to take any chances. They want trump to lose, and the only one.... George II Jul 2020 #31

Because they support and want Biden and other Democrats to win JI7 Jul 2020 #32

They are. They are helping run Joe Biden. grantcart Jul 2020 #48

Did anyone convince you yet? chia Jul 2020 #49

Not really. Lots of conventional thinking, unfortunately similar to the kind of thinking I saw when BamaRefugee Jul 2020 #65

Because this is more cost-effective brooklynite Jul 2020 #54

They are irrelevant in their own party so they try to influence ours JonLP24 Jul 2020 #59
