The Lincoln Project is an American political action committee formed in late 2019 by several prominent Republicans and former Republicans. The goal of the committee is to prevent the reelection of Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

Are these Ads a serious problem for the Trump campaign?


Donald Trump’s Lies, Misogyny And Loyalty Problems On Full Display In New Attack Ads

The anti-Donald Trump attack ads are coming thick and fast on social media from organizations on both sides of the aisle.

Conservative group The Lincoln Project, progressive PAC MeidasTouch and bestselling writer Don Winslow each targeted the president with new supercuts.

The videos, all posted in the 24 hours prior to Tuesday morning, quickly racked up millions of views on social media.

The Lincoln Project, co-founded by conservative attorney George Conway, questioned the loyalty of Trump's inner circle...






 
No, I think Americans are tired of the tradional Democrat/ Republican scenario, they are more likely to piss people off.
 




Damn, they know Trump so well. They push all of his buttons in this video.



This is what happens when you're an asshole to everyone, they come after you.

They are pretty evil in nature but may be effective with swing voters?

I bet he kicked some puppies after seeing it. lol
 
they certainly aren't a problem for modern day Confederates, White Supremacists and their supporters.

That would be my guess, swing voters may be influenced but once again, people hate being told what to do, it is in our nature to say **** you to clowns telling us what to do.

Piss people off at Trump, if they're not already pissed.

The Lincoln Project is outside of "the traditional Democrat/Republican scenario", as the OP noted. It is Republican in the original spirit of the Party, when Lincoln was its first Presidential candidate and it stood for the progressive values of its era, unlike the regressive GOP of today.

I've seen impactful ads, and seen impactful groups pop up through the years, but I see the Lincoln Project having a massive impact on the election - and not the impact the Republicans hope for.

This is one impressive group. I'm personal friends with one of the founders, Jennifer Horn, who one of the DP Trump Panty Sniffers said was a communist.

Trump tells you to vote for him. So I take it you won't be voting for Trump then?
 
The ads from The Lincoln Project are very very effective. I love each one. If the Dems were smart, they would start subsidizing TLP and even hire them to do a campaign for Biden.

Being told 'what to do' and making provocative statements are competing notions for these ads. Most people on some level want to follow, it's why we have govt's, leaders, laws, rules, groups, parties, organizations, companies, etc.

These ads are powerful. I'm glad there are a few honorable Republicans who care more about the welfare of our country than their own power and ideology.

I think they're damaging as hell and well timed.

Ok so let's play follow the leader, do men/ women in general follow an alpha male like Trump or ..........

Now that's TROLLING! I don't know about his voters, but it's bound to drive him up the wall. Republicans have always played rough, but this really goes for the throat. This is like civil war within the GOP!

They're kind of screwing their own party though.

"The Lincoln Project is nothing but a “Democrat PAC” and a “get-rich-quick scheme” from the swamp-dwellers who mangled John McCain’s and Mitt Romney’s unsuccessful presidential campaigns. “The Lincoln Project has nothing to do with principle, and everything to do with lining the pockets of failed consultants by attacking conservatives,” Club for Growth president David McIntosh said in a statement. “While the group is the darling of the liberal media, the fact is that it’s a Democrat front group and one of the least efficient ways for anti-Trumpers to spend their political dollars.”


No surprise there.

They're probably a problem for his campaign. The Lincoln Project's target demographic isn't trump supporters (they're unreachable), but the 10% of Republicans who find trump repulsive and are looking for permission to use this one election as a means for realigning the GOP onto a path of traditional principles. The Lincoln Project provides that permission structure.

There IS no alternative to Trump. It's him or warmed over Marxism. I don't think most of the country wants warmed over Marxism. These Never Trumpers are cutting their own throats if they think they can co-exist with the current radicals in the Democrat party. What this really is is the swamp trying to reestablish the status quo. Ideology goes out the window when it comes to people lining their pockets.

If he's not too damaged by the propaganda against him they do. But he really needs some magic to get back up in the polls, like an effective covid vaccine.

Well, if you watch smart people like Steve Schmidt talk about the Republican party, it's not a party he recognizes any longer. He's a lifelong Republican who ran the 2008 McCain campaign.

Trump supporters aren't the Lincoln Project's target demographic.

I can't agree. Dems are smart to keep their distance. The Lincoln Project has more credibility if the aren't seen as a tool for the Democrats.

They target people like me and themselves.

Real Republicans who are smart and reject the vile corrupt racist military-hating fraud named Trump.
