But yes please take note of the type of politician they like. Dan is it.
I do not think many of us would like this choices the Lincoln guys would make. I have not heard they have moderated their views.
Some have confessed that they regret some of their actions, much as Lee Atwater expressed regrets on his death bed. I am not sure I credit these apologies.
But unlike most of the GOP, these guys have decided that there is a line. I think that is something we should take advantage of.
Many on the left have a Leninist view that if you are not totally with us you are against us...and this hurt us in 2016. I don't think this can be risked this year.
I was with you there until you called me a Commie. I'm involved pretty deeply in Dem politics and I NEVER heard anybody say in 2016 "if you are not totally with us you are against us." In fact, the Hillary campaign launched many ads nearly identical to the ones the Lincoln Project uses - in an effort to point out Trump's many faults and to lure moderate Republicans to her side. She went out of her way to attract moderates, and it didn't work. She also called Trump's voters stupid and evil, as the LP does, and we know how that turned out. Dems never stopped criticizing her for all of that, and yet now that this group of conservative men are doing the same thing, Dems are suddenly in love with that strategy. Interesting.
Let's be honest; if a male had been doing all the things Hillary had been doing, s(he) might have won.
As evidence of the bias that we all possess, have a look at this: https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/interact...ing-women/
