Ask yourself why none of those Lincoln players made any waves before their current project.

Ill tell you why:

Their works sucks but it is being paraded around as amazing by Dems/Major Media (same thing) because it is “Republicans” going after Trump (the person that fired you). https://twitter.com/PreetBharara/status/1277440493102813184
For example, the largest recipient of @ProjectLincoln funds this cycle has gotten $1.93 million as of the last filing. The only other federal campaign money given to them was $12,000 the last cycle. Second largest recipient ($413,313) also has $6,105 from the @cologop this cycle.
That firm, Tusk Digital which is owned by @RonSteslow the founder of @ProjectLincoln, got $74,937 last cycle from a Super PAC backing @CarlyFiorina and $2 million in the 2016 cycle.

Day ago, Fiorina announced she is supporting Biden.

In 2016, Steslow’s firm received $173,958
from the “Never Trump PAC.” Also in 2016, Steslow’s client Chrys Kefalas who spent $147,079 on Tusk Digital, lost a Senate GOP Primary; pulling in only 9.6% of the vote.
There is more: Beat Reid PAC raises and spend almsot $60,000 in the 2016 cycle. Tusk Digitial, the firm run by @ProjectLincoln Foudner @RonSteslow, received $51,850 of it. In the 2014 cycle, Tusk received only $14K from campigns and it’s their first year online.
In summary, the company run by @ProjectLincoln founder has received most of its federal-level campaign money from the @CarlyFiorina Super PAC and his most-paid individual campaign pulled in only 9.6% in a GOP Senate Primary. Yet now he is suddenly a genius? No. Media Propaganda.
I don’t begrudge @ProjectLincoln foudner @RonSteslow raking in $$$ from Super PACs but

A) It’s not principles. It is his living or grift.

B) He has little client success to show from past efforts, so the Project’s current exposure is driven by bias; not merit of their work.
The Lincoln Project guys with a few million dollars are getting more media attention than those who run the hundreds millions for Biden/DNC, and the operatives behind it are getting more media attn than all of them combined got the last 20 years. They suddenly became pros? Please
I forgot to note that the above item is now the LEAD at Politico!

Anyway, we have here a group of amateurs who produce third rate items as measured by the fact that their past projects got little organic play; little earned media and that their candidates lost big time. But
now that they are REPUBLICANS who work against a REPUBLICAN president, it gets media play despite being garbage. I really don’t get this genre of journalism of a “REPUBLICAN vs REPUBLCAN.” They are self-serving grifters still bitter that Trump won and their candidates lost.
So when you look at a clown ad it becomes WOW becasue self-serving grifters who milks some dumb millionaires are paid to make this garbage? I really don’t get this type of journalism. Oh. It’s not journalism. It’s political hackery by DNC operatives employed by national “media.”
One of the people active in the Lincoln Project is John Weaver ( @JWGOP).

He worked for McCain 2000, lost primary.

McCain 2008, lost general.

Worked for @JohnKasich in 2016, won only 46.9% of his own state.

JW is a failed consultant who is suddenly brilliant? Media hype.
Jeniffer Horn is involved with The Lincoln Project. Credentials? Lost a house primary (2010) and a house election (2008). Ran/won for NHGOP Chair (a campaign which revealed a $93K IRS lien). The only FEC-level money she earned: Bill Weld $21,629 this cycle. Lincoln Project $20K
Reed Galen is the Treasurer of The Lincoln Project (TLP). As of the late March filing period, his firm - Summit Strategic Communications - was the largest recipient of TLP funds (millions). Only other federal-level campaign money his firm ever got was $12K from a PAC last cycle.
The $12K that Reed Galen’s firm received last election cycle (the only FEC-level funds his firm got before The Lincoln Project) was from the “New OC PAC” which was funded by supporters of a Republican who ended up coming in 4th in the CA48 house election. Now he is a genius?
