Lincoln Project plans Texas offensive against Republican Donald Trump, steps up Hispanic outreach

A group of former and current Republicans have stepped up their efforts to defeat President Donald Trump in reliably red Texas, a feat they say will move the country forward and help restore the GOP to what it was before Trump took control of it.

And this latest move is amazing and welcome.

Utterly delusional. That toxic party has destroyed itself and must die.

Lingering Senatorial scum must go down in the 2022 and 2024 elections. Or be shamed into retirement.
