Come on man this is a cop out, these people do have deep ties to the GOP because they are all long time strategist, campaign runners etc and trust me they completely understand the implications and damage Trump is doing to the GOP. These people are actually trying to save the GOP....

Exactly the type of people that we don't need in government.

I feel the GOP are doing themselves in. Just as the Democrats are doing themselves in also. Both parties are sale outs.

I just got done watching a documentary on Trump's election 2016 on Showtime Amazon Prime, and I forgot how many people said Trump will lose in 2016. All of the media Elites and all of the party Elites said the same thing that they're saying now.

its funny to watch the news coverage still and everyone being shell shocked

and then panicking when they realized thinking that everything was going to fall apart...
 

I just can’t understand why these people are allowed to decide who passes and who does not. It’s against to them law to be jay walking.

The Dems will never live that down. That night was absolute magic. I will never forget that feeling of exuberance. Watching them cry for the last 4 years has also been worthwhile.

Who was their common boss and/or customers? I will help you https://lincolnproject.us/team/
Like I always say, follow the money. So who is funding this?
The group has few major donors;[14] the top contributors are Silicon Valley investor Ron Conway, financier Andrew Redleaf, and Walmart heiress and philanthropist Christy Walton, who gave $50,000, $25,000, and $20,000, respectively (whose contributions collective make up just 4% of the Lincoln Project's total fundraising).[47 59% of the group's total fundraising comes from small donors ($200 or less).[14] The group's expenditures are mostly in producing, buying, and placing ads.[14]

The Center for Responsive Politics, a campaign-finance watchdog group, wrote that (like most PACs)[48] most of the Lincoln Project's money went to pay subcontractors, "making it difficult to follow the money" to vendors, and that "almost all" of the money raised went to firms run by the group's board members, specifically Galen's Summit Strategic Communications and Steslow's Tusk Digital.[14

They are playing chess while you ( the general public) are playing checkers. Read again " "almost all" of the money raised went to firms run by the group's board members," Can you say playing both sides to fill their bank account?

Same. I was rocking the Trump 2016 bumper sticker in August 2015. Someone stole it off of my car the next year ? I also was a fan of Ben Carson. I was hoping that was going to be his VP.

That’s impossible because I’m not convinced Trump is going to win. 2016 will always be the year the Dems got embarrassed. A presidential election night like that one will never be recreated.

I remember in 2012, Fox News and all the pundits and all the Republican strategists said that Romney was going to win and I believed it. I did a lot of research to hear both sides to make sure what I was reading was correct, and was totally mistaken. Fox News even had a poll the week before the election with Romney up by Five Points. It was such a tragic evening.

you don’t represent the majority of the right. All I’ve heard is how the polls are wrong, blah blah blah.

I went to one of Trump's rallies in Birmingham at the very beginning in the primaries it was awesome to experience.. all of my friends and family thought that I'd lost it.
 
In my honest opinion I believe Joe Biden is almost as weak a candidate as Mitt Romney was in 2012. The one thing Joe Biden has going for him is that he was Vice President to a black president which makes people feel virtuous when casting a vote for him. These next few months should be very interesting.

That's a very good comparison.. the Republican Party base was not excited about a Mormon governor of a Northern State with liberal tendencies... just like the Democrat Party base is not excited with a moderate veep from Delaware.

I was a McCain supporter in 2000, 2008. Obama in 2012, Hillary in 2016. Never have really cared for Romney but he seems so much more presidential compared to Trump.
 
Since we have been having to see videos of Republicans leaving the Republican party you may want to read this article to see who is leaving the Democrats. All balances out.

You can already see the next big division argument coming. We’re still on the Systemic racism along with masks. Next is schools. Today Trump said kids need to go back. The Democrats are already fighting it. Before I get blasted let me tell what is known right now that was reported on Tucker.
More HS students have committed suicide than the virus has killed. Its not even close and they are still gathering data that he will bring up when completed. It is a staggering % of suicides that is known. All since the virus started.
Next approximately 25 kids have died from virus compared to over a 100 deaths from flu since February of this year. Yes kids can pass the virus on to their parents and grandparents I know. Kids need schools. The kids and families will have option for virtual instead of in person. Statistics are showing our kids are suffering. They need social interaction. As for the kids risking passing it on to the more fragile such as grandparents. I feel let the parents and grandparents make the choice what they want and are willing to risk. I feel so many are trying to make the choices for elders when they are old enough to make their own choices. I bet we would be hard press to find many parents and grandparents that would not want their kids or grandchildren to go to school and make memories and have friends and be willing to take that risk. Those of us that have kids is living not seeing our kids play sports and make friends. Same for grandparents seeing their kids and grandkids. My family and I were possibly exposed last week. My in laws came over and they had been to FL. A relative there younger age was asymptomatic confirmed a couple days after they left. They have been tested but it’s been 7 days and no results. This weekend my family saw my brother and sisters family and my mom. My mom and brother in law are very high risk. I told them the situation and both them and all my other family members wanted to see me and my family knowing the risk. We kept our distance. Will I get tested most likely if my in laws are positive. As of now no one is showing any signs of symptoms.
