Great story on Trumps grasp of US history. Self explanatory.
Only the guardian takes them seriously. They are political consultants currently griffting off billionaire democrat supporters. No Republican takes them seriously.How the Lincoln Project is undermining Trumps re election hopes.
Could this anti-Trump Republican group take down the president?
Savage attack ads from a well-funded group of dissident Republicans are aiming to sway a key sliver of opinion in swing states
Amid all the noise of an election involving Donald Trump – all the inflammatory tweets and shadowy Facebook posts – one set of ads has somehow managed to break through.
There’s the one of the US president shuffling down a ramp that declares that the president “is not well”. There’s the whispering one about Trump’s “loyalty problem” inside his White House, campaign and family.
There’s the epic Mourning in America that remakes Reagan’s election-defining 1984 ad, turning the sun-bathed suburbs into a dark national portrait of pandemic and recession. On Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, those three ads alone have racked up more than 35m views.
The Lincoln Project, run by a group of renegade Republican political consultants, has crystallized one of the core narratives of the 2020 campaign in ways that few other political commercials have in past cycles.
.... Alongside the top-tier surrogates and ads, there is a grassroots effort to organize women, veterans and evangelicals to reach out to persuade Republicans to abandon the president who dominates their party.
“There are certain voters we’re not going to move – the one-issue voters on the right to life – and that’s OK,” says Lenti.
“We’re looking at 3-5% of Republicans in certain states. They tend to be more educated than not. Over 40 years old, and the demographic split is about 50/50, maybe a little towards men. We’re also seeing traction with some evangelicals, and those are typically older and less educated.”
That sliver of disaffected Republicans is the target for ads like Mourning in America: people who are old enough to remember the original from three decades ago are also old enough to be at the highest risk of the coronavirus. “Under the leadership of Donald Trump,” the narrator says, “our country is weaker, and sicker, and poorer.”

Is your stipend direct from Soros, of via one of his many "NGOs"?
Not to mention killing off his base in droves.But the virus has severely crippled his options.
He was always a self promoter. Where have you been the last 40 years?He wasn't everyone's favorite Uncle before he beat Hilary....
3.5 years of repeatedly demonstrating the qualities outlined in IFocus post have crystallized how most of us see him.
Isn't it amazing just how clever the Fake News people are at putting together stories that show what a dangerous, ignorant, bombastic, incompetent President Donald Trump is ?
Because clearly in Waynes World none of these clips can be true .. could they?
And who needs to be paid by anyone to realise, recognise and revolt against one of the most criminal, ignorant, dangerous Presidents to ever sit in the White House since Obama? Really ?
He was always a self promoter. Where have you been the last 40 years?
He has always had the "biggest/best" schtick going on. Hence the "trump towers" and other gimmicky crap. He hasn't changed. Everyone knew what they were getting. He got sprung talking about "grabbing them by the pu%%y" during his campaign.
And he still beat Hillary.
Yes.And has he turned out to be a great President ?
So in which US political system is it even thinkable for President to open a discussion about postponing the next election - and trying to suggest he has the power to do this ?
Of course the rationale behind his statement was another of Trumps Big Lies - trying to undermine the voting system.
Cue very loud sn-orr-ing.Keep'm coming Bas...
When you see nepotism rit so large as with Trump ...well ... "it's the children/step children I don't feel sorry for'...
& Focus, That one was all your's wasn't it, and you're just to humble to take credit .
When Republicans in the US can see the way to a better future, there just maybe some Hope...
Yes.
History will show this, once the obfuscation of the democrats goes on the wane.
Point of order, bas.Ah Komrade.. Such loyalty ! Such confidence !
You are indeed a True Believer.
The Don will go down in history as the most special US President of all time.
That everyone can agree on.
Over the weekend, Republican Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 campaign for president, was interviewed on MSNBC.
In response to a very general question regarding the Trump Presidency, Mr. Schmidt spoke for two solid minutes and gave the most insightful and brutally honest response of what the Trump Presidency has done to our great country.
“Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And, there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.”
"When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.”
"It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale."
"And, let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk.
