I think I'd be somewhat more sympathetic to this if it seemed effective. The whole pitch for the Lincoln Projects is that a group of strategists and operatives who grossly misunderstood the character of their party in 2016 are now going to rally the sensible core of that same party to action. But the only people who seem compelled by these ads are producers on Morning Joe and people who used to retweet the Krassensteins. It's an expensive distraction.
I was listening to a podcast that had Rick Wilson on and they're not doing stuff to only delight the converted. They're going after Mitch McConnell hard...why? No way he's going to lose, right? But now what he's doing since he controls the cash is using way more of it on himself and pulling money out of actual competitive districts where Democrats may beat vulnerable Republicans. Sorry kids, that's real strategy and I NEVER hear Democrats really getting in the weeds and talking for real about how to beat Republicans. That's actual strategy and Ill take it.
Also them pissing Trump off by placing one single cheap ad in DC caused him to whine about it and now they're spending a ton of money in DC, which they have no way of ever winning, so Trump can see nice ads about himself for his ego. Lincoln Project got Trump's campagin to flush half a million dollars down the shitter to gain nothing. I don't see Democrats doing anything this proactive.
