They are cold, calculating consultants — Republican strategists who’ve spent their entire political careers making Democrats uncomfortable.
They’ve successfully painted Democratic candidates as big spenders, high taxers and soft on crime and defence. But not this year. Several high-level former Republican operatives are giving Democrats a pass. In fact, they’ve turned their full arsenal of political tactics and warfare against their own party and their own president, Donald Trump.
“We have a particular set of skills,” said Rick Wilson, quoting Liam Neeson’s character from the movie, Taken, “skills that make us a nightmare for people like Donald Trump.”
Wilson was introducing the Lincoln Project to an audience in New York in February. It includes Wilson, and some 18 senior partners and advisers with 200 years experience electing Republicans, according to the group’s website.
The goal is to help elect Joe Biden by doing their part to take down Donald Trump. They’re even targeting vulnerable Republican Senators, convinced the Grand Old Party needs to be sidelined entirely from governing because it has enabled a man that the Republican defectors believe is unfit and unworthy of occupying the Oval Office.
And they don’t play nice. In one of the ads the group has produced, images of Trump are edited to make him look feeble and unsteady — he holds a glass of water with two hands, he gingerly walks down a ramp, all as the narrator observes with concern.
“Something’s wrong with Donald Trump. He’s shaky. Weak. Trouble speaking. Trouble walking.”
“We fight very hard,” Wilson said.
“Sometimes you might think we fight a little dirty,” he paused and the audience laughed, “But that’s the battle we’re in today.”

History will show they chose poorly.
Bush League Republicans.
Still determined to steal our country from us by flooding it with foreigners.
The fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico against the will of the citizens has been the largest bipartisan project of the last 30 years.
They think this is funny? I hope they never find a piece of honest work again in their lives. They are just evil.
Some of them are pretending to support President Trump and the Trump agenda like Flimsey Grahamnesty.
As soon as he is re-elected he will become McCain.
Why post this?
Ah, I knew I’d find that maggot Rick Wilson here. Is Biden paying him extra for anal sex?
Any pubbie that uses Rick Wilson from here on out should be shunned. Add the rest of his ass clown posse to the list as well.
LOSERS!!!
RE: Why post this?
Don’t you want to know the nature of the opposition?
“History will show they chose poorly.”
I don’t know at this point. When a president has to fight his own party it’s bad news.
Face it, the Republicans want Trump out.
No need to listen to anything else about this group. They are fully on board with the communist consummation of the demoncrap party and were never Conservatives to begin with.
Meet the Republican strategists who have crossed over to oppose Trump
Another buch of turds rising to the top in the cesspool of Washington.
They don’t call it the “District of Corruption” for nothing.
None of the 4 mentioned hold political office.
“ Why post this? “
My thoughts exactly. Except, yours were more polite than mine. Reading down the headlines on FreeRepublic is a complete exercise in negativity. May as well read the crap on the Drudge Report as come here.
Seems the only ones that want Trump in is
“WE THE PEOPLE”
That’s not the opposition.
