Never Trumpers cross line with party operatives by targeting GOP senators: 'Taking it too far'
Fox News ^ | 6/29/2020 | Paul Steinhauser

The "Never Trump" coalition of Republicans fighting to oust President Trump from the White House is making a risky play, just as the president's lackluster poll numbers are raising concerns on the right -- they're going after Republican senators too.

The effort is being led by The Lincoln Project, a media-savvy outfit that spends most of its time hammering the incumbent president with scathing TV and digital ads.

But along with targeting Trump, The Lincoln Project is now weighing in on the races of GOP senators facing tough reelections this year.

...

The spot characterizes Daines – who’s facing a tough reelection challenge from Bullock – as a “do nothing, say nothing politician.”

On Monday, The Lincoln Project took aim at Sen. Susan Collins of Maine over her controversial 2018 vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

...

The group used the tweet to spotlight the predicament for Collins – who’s facing an extremely difficult reelection due in large part to her Kavanaugh confirmation vote. This year, the Lincoln Project has also targeted GOP Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Martha McSally of Arizona and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who are likewise fighting for their political lives.

They are Democrats in RINO clothing. “

No. They’re Republicans. The Republican establishment hates you and me, it despises it’s base. When will Freepers finally admit that?

The “RINO” is Trump. He’s registered as Republican, but he supports working class America - something real Republican officeholders don’t do.

Mr. Trump and his enablers have abandoned conservatism and longstanding Republican principles and replaced it with Trumpism, an empty faith led by a bogus prophet.”

So who are the republicans behind this? Kelly Ann Conway’s husband? He is not a Republican!!

Yes they are and real conservatives will see through the bs and will not be swayed by it. From their website underneath a section on Lincoln (which by the way I do not see the lincoln project objecting to defacing and ripping statues down)

“Today, we find ourselves divided again – sectionalism in the country and factionalism in government has led to ever uglier examples of how our political system is failing. President Donald Trump and those who sign onto Trumpism are a clear and present danger to the Constitution and our Republic. Only defeating so polarizing a character as Trump will allow the country to heal its political and psychological wounds and allow for a new, better path forward for all Americans.”

The lincoln project people are commies if you ask me.

The Lincoln Project was formed late last year by well-known Never Trumpers. Among them are George Conway, the husband of White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway, and Republican consultants Weaver, Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson. Weaver was also the top political adviser for then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s 2016 presidential campaign.

How does Kellyanne justify continuing to have sex with that creature?

We don’t know if she does.

She’s Catholic and may not believe divorce is an option.

Probably never. A lot of them are Republican partisans which explains why Dubya could fool them so easily.

“The “RINO” is Trump.”

As was Ronald Reagan.

The GOP establishment were backing Howard Baker and GHW Bush, among others.

Reagan agreed to take Bush as his VP in order to guarantee he would get the support of the GOPe. Otherwise they were liable to not give him any support, the way they had treated Barry Goldwater.

They're the RINO version of Antifa.

Antifa: Burn the USA to the ground and replace it with something we like.

Lincoln Brigade II: Burn the GOP to the ground and replace it with something we like.

“Lincoln Brigade II: Burn the GOP to the ground and replace it with something we like.”

That bunch are much closer to being the real GOP than we are. Trump is an insurgent, the outsider. That Lincoln crowd ran campaigns for mainstream Republicans. That’s Bush GOP in action.

Jeez, whoever thought you’d see a group of “Republicans” coming at Susan Collins *FROM THE LEFT*. They’re liberals, northeastern Rockerfeller Republicans from back in the day when the Democrats were often to the right of the GOP on a lot of issues and there were more regional differences in the parties. They need to be booted to their logical home in the new far-left Democratic party.

That is what the process begun with the Spanish American War has come to.
Read ‘Dangerous Nation’ a very good book by a very establishment historian. It is all there how we ended up spreading ‘democracy’ by gunpoint.
