Kobach loses U.S. Senate seat in Kansas primary

The Lincoln Project has made itself a Democratic Party organization

But as one gets deeper into researching the Lincoln Project, it is clear that its focus is not limited to Trump. It aims to defeat all Republican-elected officials.

Though some founders at the Lincoln Project still claim to be Republicans, it is hard to view that claim as truthful. Their digital accounts indicate that their plan is to defeat Republicans across the board, including those who have distanced themselves from the ideas of Trumpism.

The Self-Importance of The Lincoln Project

Anti-Trump Lincoln Project Not a Republican Group | National Review

It’s hard to maintain the fiction of The Lincoln Project as a Republican group.

A couple of erstwhile Republican operatives who notably failed to elect Republican presidents are now trying to elect a Democratic one.

They call their super PAC, self-importantly, The Lincoln Project. The operation is devoted to churning out harsh and often ridiculously over-the-top ads attacking President Donald Trump that are invariably praised by the media and progressives on Twitter, who are The Lincoln Project’s political base.

But it’s another thing entirely to go raise millions of dollars from Democratic donors and run ads not just against Trump but against run-of-the-mill Republican senators whose only offense is having an R next to their names.

The idea of Republican political pros working against Trump is irresistible to The Lincoln Project’s progressive fans. But it’s not really true. John Weaver, for example, hasn’t been a GOP stalwart in about 20 years. He left to go work for the Democratic House campaign committee after John McCain’s 2000 primary campaign flamed out. He returned as the strategist to the 2016 presidential campaign of John Kasich, who will be speaking at the Democratic convention this year.

Steve Schmidt repaid John McCain for the opportunity of a lifetime running his 2008 presidential campaign by self-servingly dishing on the wreckage and making a new career among the people who hated the McCain campaign. Just last year, he was the chief strategist to prospective independent presidential candidate Howard Schultz, chairman emeritus of Starbucks — showing he wasn’t going to let a self-evident absurdity get in the way of a good payday.

It’s hard to maintain the fiction of The Lincoln Project as a Republican group when Weaver gave a defensive-sounding interview to the Washington Post promising to support the agenda of a prospective President Biden and attack Republicans for opposing him.

All I see here is Republican butt hurt over the Lincoln Project. They're afraid of the truth, as well they should be.
 
I'm not. Conventional wisdom says his winning the primary may have flipped the seat Dem in the general.

Kansas last elected a Democrat Senator in 1932.

I doubt that state is going to flip no matter who the GOP candidate may be.
 
Ill tell you what i know. Personal attacks dont add to your credibility. Biden isnt anywhere close to radical.

Biden doesn't even support legalization of Marijuana and M4A. The same Democratic party shut down both from their party platform.

Apparently anyone to the left is a "radical." As if the word itself is in itself bad. Everything is binary with these guys. :lamo

I never thought I'd see a Dem AL Sen, but ...
 
The "The Lincoln Project" are democrats in hiding..... Scuzzy people taking democrat money making silly videos for the internet. The left loves them!

If he were alive today William F. Buckley Jr. would be outspoken for the Lincoln Project. But at a time when American conservatives need William Buckley they've got Sean Hannity.

Republicans have become a party of con artists who tell the chumps what they want to hear to keep them happy and their wallets open. Of course they've got Hannity. He's exactly what they want.

I'll buy the "no true Republican" fallacy, but that doesn't make them "Democrats" unless you argue that anyone who isn't a Republican is a Democrat.
 
Actually a good thing for the 2020 election. U.S. Representative Roger Marshall should have an easy time winning in November. One less seat the democrats can win.



Marshall, 59, was supported by establishment Republicans who feared a polarizing figure like Kobach could lose the seat in the autumn to Democrats, who might also get control of the Senate.

I think that Roger Marshall definitely has the advantage given how red the state is, but Barbara Bollier, a former moderate Republican and now moderate Democrat, is a very strong candidate so it is possible that she could win.

The Lincoln Project and Republicans Against Trump are simply Republicans with a conscience and some decency. They rightly see Trump as a moral test for the Republican Party that their party unfortunately failed. Thus they want Trump and his enablers voted out so that the party will start to recruit mainstream candidates that actually care about this country, its people, and those that serve it.

I don't think many of the remaining Trump supporters understand just how much shame society will levy upon them in the near future for having supported a racist, incompetent, America hating, and despicable human being like Donald Trump.
 
The Republican party is starting to scramble to dissociate from the far right extremists in the party the closer we get to November. If Trump loses, expect a house cleaning and a massive course correction. I suspect "The Lincoln Project"-style Republicans stand to inherit the party in the coming years.

.... that is why they are doing what they are doing. Its an attempt to re-claim the party by ridding themselves of the hijackers.

Yep, the point of the Lincoln Project is to re-assume leadership of the Republican party by ridding it of the unholy.

This is one seat I have no worries of flipping. Common Sense, something is happening out there that shows support for Trump in the least expected places. Today it happened in West Hollywood. You probably won't see it on the news but there was a march where over 400 showed up. The march/rally was titled #Rescue America and #Walk Away. They were Trump supporters, lots of American flags and people dressed in red/white/blue. It was a peaceful gathering and no one destroyed any businesses, started fires or decorated everything with spray paint with foul language.

If you have a chance check, it out at the link below.

Kobach voters are unlikely to vote for Rep. Marshall. In KS these dayze the Republican needs every vote he can get and Kobach voters are teed off against the party that mostly lined up behind Marshall. While in KS they know vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord, KS voters of Kobach also know revenge is a plate best served cold. (Do pardon the metaphors being tossed all over the place thx.)
So basically, you're thinking a 'Bernie Baby' 2016 scenario? That would be interesting.
