(244 posts)These people are not sincere. Their subliminal message is, "it's not the Republican party, it's Trump. We're not responsible for this mess." They are setting themselves up to come back in four years with a smart Reagan/Cheney Republican who doesn't say the shit out loud...

(7,220 posts)Because they might beat us later? Seriously?
Here's another way of looking at it: They are gutter fighting so we can take the high road. Better now?

(13,558 posts)They'll revert to form after he's out. The Lincoln Project will turn on us later.
But I agree, take the help now. Worry about them later.

(3,803 posts)The ads are slimy -- slimy ads sliming a slimy man made by a slimy organization that just happens to be a temporary ally.

(945 posts)I wouldn't consider this ad as part of the DEM brand, but it is certainly playing dirty like the repugs do.

(23,738 posts)I know that they don't agree with me on a lot of things. But the things that we do seem to agree on seem to matter more than our differences in regards to Trump. For now.

(26,626 posts)In the past, their venom has been against Dems, but fine with me they hate trump . They've hit me up for $$. Not a chance. All my spare cash is going to Democrats.

StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)They don't care.
But this ad goes straight to the heart and ego. It's telling them - with video - that their hero is sick and weak.

Ok, who knows. Guess hit him from every side is whats being tried here.

(25,556 posts)This is why the Republicans always win when things were close. They know how to attack, they know the exact tone of voice to use, they are always right where it hurts. Democrats on the other hand, pull punches because we dont wanna be accused of being mean. And nasty. And rotten.

(1,206 posts)committee and end up watered down and focus grouped to death until they don't offend anyone.
I much prefer the cut-throat ads groups like the Lincoln Project are doing (and why I am one of their donors) - they will actually move the needle - they are true attack ads, not spending time explaining what a great guy Biden is or why he's better, they just attack, attack, attack.

(10,208 posts)It goes to that whole alpha dog thing thats hes portrayed for so long. Pretending to be tough and fearless. The follower cult will start abandoning him as it becomes more and more obvious he is weak. At least some.

(10,833 posts)In that respect, it's all good. Anything that gets under Trump's incredibly thin skin is on the mark. The Lincoln Project has shown that they will not pull punches for 2020. This is an example. Plus, it's an indictment of the media that was so willing to play up Hillary Clinton's presumed 'health issues.'
What's good for the goose is good . . . well, you know the rest.
Just glad these people are on our side in this election cycle!

DenverJared
(457 posts)would not worry that these people may turn on us in 2024.
Both of them would think of surviving 2020 first and would welcome any republican group that helps us defeat Trump.
Purity test shouldn't be applied to people who are willingly voting for your side.
