Project Lincoln folks in 2016: “This is not a binary choice between Trump and Clinton. Do the moral thing and vote for McMullin.”

Project Lincoln folks in 2020: “This is a binary choice, and real conservatives must vote for the guy who wants to repeal the Hyde Amendment.” https://twitter.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1247952902297092096
Once you realize that it’s nearly been a decade since any member of the Lincoln Project was involved in a successful GOP campaign, you understand why this collection of individuals is jumping on this bandwagon. If you’re a strategist who can’t win, gotta stay relevant another way
No one is pretending you’re required to vote for Trump. So, with that said, I would love for a single member of the Lincoln Project to explain to me how affirmatively voting for a candidate who wants to use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions is truly “conservative.”
The answer, of course, is that those “strategists” are from the wing of the party that never truly cared about social issues. They only paid lip service to them. And now they’re more than happy to promote Dem candidates, if doing so means that they'll return to power sooner.
