Backlash: Left Turns On #NeverTrump Lincoln Project ‘Grifters’
“Lincoln Project managed to help Trump get MORE Republican support than in 2016 apparently”

One of the biggest losers in last night’s election may well turn out to be the #NeverTrump Lincoln Project, an assortment of failed former GOP political operatives and inconsequential pouty and self-aggrandized former rightwing pundits.
As Florida was going into President Trump’s not inconsiderable ‘win’ column, Democrats and their media hordes were horrified to see Trump make huge gains among Hispanics in the Miami-Dade area. And it wasn’t only Floridian Hispanics who turned out to vote for Trump, Republicans turned out to support the president in record and historic numbers.
For some reason, Democrats thought that a venom-spitting gaggle of disgruntled, mean-spirited former Republicans was just the ticket to help them turn out Republican voters to beat the president.
The left is now regretting that misguided decision, and the Lincoln Project is catching a lot of flak for their wrong-headed ‘guidance’ on and negative approach to winning over Republican voters.
Excited to see if handing over the Florida “Latino vote” strategy to weirdo Lincoln Project cold warriors was a good idea

Imagine if the $67 million donated to the Lincoln Project was given to groups organizing in Texas, or to competitive Senate races, or to groups mobilizing Latino voters.

This is why a New York Times reporter announced that she's preparing an article to declare Hispanics no longer part of People of Color. It's not just right-wing Cubans and Venezuelans in South Florida. The predominant media narrative of 4 years has been obliterated – by voters: https://t.co/DuqSLwCCeM

The Lincoln Project raised $67 million. Republican Voters Against Trump raised $10 million.
93% of Republicans voted for Trump in 2020, up from 90% in 2016. https://t.co/EUPsQsHuDN

This is what happens when the Lincoln Project runs your entire messaging. And pockets tens of millions in the process.

No, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO… you don't get to be angry at the left for this #Election2020 debacle.
Turn your wrath to the Democratic Party that shunned wildly popular progressive policies and handed its messaging to a bunch of Republicans at the Lincoln Project.

Literally the dumbest strategy and biggest waste of campaign resources ever

The Lincoln Project lesson is that you can use a career in politics to make mad bank, switch parties & tweet like a teenage girl, and make absolutely the opposite impact you intended or no impact at all.
That — if anything — is the optimistic outcome of this election.

LOL. The @ProjectLincoln people admitting that the whole premise of their grift was a scam and the know it all along
Of course the Lincoln Project people aren't as "depressed" as Democrats: they're floating on piles of #Resistance money no matter the outcome: https://t.co/QDGAOuKEhG

Dusty, forget 2024, we need to think about the midterms. Let’s get rid of the RINOS and take back the House.
Not to mention, I’ll bet anything that Mitt Romney was promised the 2024 nomination for his vote on Amy Coney Barrett for SCOTUS by McConnell.
THAT’S going to be a problem.
All the Lincoln Project really did was steal the idea from the Ponzi scheme brothers Ed and Brian Krassenstein. They milked the #resitance for every penny they could while promising to fight against the eVil tRump. In a nutshell they basically trolled the Presidents Twitter account and lived the good life like they were doing before the FBI seized their property from all their online scams.
Nobody likes a backstabbing bunch of frauds.
Who didn’t see this coming? They are referred to as USEFUL IDIOTS for nothing.
The Lincoln Project confirmed that neoconservatism is a form of pseudoconservatism.
