‘Lincoln Project’ to Back Democrat Control of Senate in Georgia Runoff: ‘Defeat Trumpism’
Breitbart ^ | November 6, 2020 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 11/06/2020 1:12:30 PM PST by Hojczyk

The “Lincoln Project,” a political action committee of former Republicans that raised tens of millions of dollars in 2020 to defeat President Donald Trump, has declared it will back Democrat Jon Ossoff in the upcoming Senate runoff in Georgia.

“We’re staying in the fight: to defeat Trumpism we must also defeat David Perdue,” the Lincoln Project tweeted Friday, referring to the current Republican incumbent. “Let’s elect Jon Ossoff.”

If both Democrats win their respective races, the Senate would be deadlocked 50-50, with the vice president breaking a tie.

Ossoff, 33, has never held elected office. In 2017, he ran in a special election for Georgia’s 6th congressional district, despite living outside its boundaries. He lost to Republican Karen Handel, despite a massive influx of outside campaign donations.

The Lincoln Project has declared political war on what it calls “Trumpism,” promising to defeat supporters of the president.

The Media will televise the Fulton County vote factory in full production mode during the “runoff” just to rub the Republicans’ noses in it...

I will never vote GOP again..time for a MAGA part

yIf Trump loses or wins he should start a MAGA party...get everyone who voted for him to signup....we only support MAGA people...

and tell the GOP you want are vote we want results or we put up are own candidates...

working people will support it...Hispanic will support it... Black will support it.. ExDemocrats will support it....they will never support the GOP...they will just stay home......

other wise the GOP is dead

Lindsey Graham says he is ready to work with the democrats..

they raised tens of millions of dollars. I’m wondering how much of that ended up in their own personal bank accounts.

How does this hurt Purdue? The only thing that would keep David from winning is if Trumps supporters become so disgusted they stay home

Third parties generally don’t do very well. The votes will get split between republican and it.

I think I may hate this so called Lincoln Project even more than I hate the Democrats.

I’m so disgusted. Unless things change I’ve voted for the last time. My last vote for President will be for Donald Trump.

These never Trumpers think they are going to step in and take the levers of power in the Republican party if Trump loses. They are delusional.

Lindsey Graham says he is ready to work with the democrats..
From The Hill:

Graham: Biden 'deserves a Cabinet' if he wins


But the senior GOP senator is already thinking about how the working relationship between the GOP-controlled Senate and a potential President Biden may shape up.

"If Biden wins, he's got to make a decision about what kind of president he wants to be. Does he want to be more like Obama who rammed through [the Congress] ObamaCare and a stimulus package that was very partisan or does he want to sit down with people like [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell [R-Ky.] and others and me and see if he can find some common ground like infrastructure."

Graham said "maybe immigration" is another issue where Republican senators and the Biden administration could find common ground.


And there it is.

If everything fall apart in the senate, then a small pro-American group approaches the WV senator with a proposition for switching parties! Don’t care what they offer

Ballot access and election laws electoral laws make third parties nearly impossible.
The Libertarian, The Constitution (Taxpayers), American Independent, America’s Party, Reform parties; have all spent zillions upon soo dollars and they’ve yet to scratch the surface on any real election electoral victories of any real meaningful substance.
