There’s a philosophy debated among political operatives in Washington, D.C. that suggests being in the opposition party automatically means better business. The Lincoln Project gurus, who billed themselves as ostensibly “true” conservatives, decided to embrace that philosophy and spend millions of donor dollars fighting to ensure Donald Trump lost the election and Democrats were elected in down ballot races throughout the country.
With the exception of the general election, which technically hasn’t yet been decided but has been called by most media outlets for Joe Biden, the Lincoln Project took the “whopping” $39 million it raised from July through September, and promptly lost.
In fact, according to the Washington Free Beacon, the organization went 0-7 in key Senate races. According to FEC filings, the Lincoln Project boasted $67 million in total receipts this cycle, and spent $59 million total -- $19 million of it against Donald Trump. That’s about $40 million lost on down-ballot races.
Small-donor Republican supporters of the group, who may have believed the Lincoln Project’s marketing and donor rhetoric that they were fighting for real conservatism, are now likely scratching their heads to hear of the organization’s epic failures. But supporting Democrats -- more than opposing Donald Trump – seems to have been the thrust of the Lincoln Project all along.
Framing their support of Democrats in state races as battling against “Trump stooges,” the Lincoln Project raised 39 percent of their funding from small donors giving $200 or less, and used it to try to unseat Republican senators like South Carolina’s Lyndsey Graham and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell – seats that will be instrumental in conservative battles against the increasingly progressive agenda favored by the new wave of Democratic leadership.
