Very good add, Rick. One of the best so far. Unfortunatly, as the war in Palestine/Israel progresses, I am more inclined to feel as Robert Jaffee. It is as if Hamas was told to launch it NOW, by forces that want to destroy the US by pushing Trump in. Bibi knew of the Hamas plan for the previous year. The timing was chosen for effect outside of Palestine/Israel. We see and feel it. Making sure that the Paletinians were not left out in the Arab/ israel "normalizations" was a serious intent by Hamas, but now or in a year from now would not effect that much. What we are seeing here is the result of doing it now.
Sorry Rick, it must have been extremely painful to watch that debate; two hours of your life, you’ll never get back. You’re a better man than me.
That said, it has been quite obvious for months that the X-crement primary (a shout out to X), has been over before it officially began.
My real concern is the Israeli/Palesrinian War. Bibi is a death kneel for democrats. He and his right-wing fanatics are dividing the Democratic Party and even minimal defections by Palestinians, Muslims and left-leaning democrats in just two or three swing states could prove fatal.
I’m sensing a repeat of 2016. Trump didn’t win; Hillary lost. My intuition is kicking in, and I don’t sense that enough Americans are truly considering what’s at stake in this election and emotions will lead us down a perilous path of destruction.
Christie is a tragic figure to me: he's excellent in terms of intelligence, perception, and ability to communicate. By far the most presidential of them all and even beyond that group. It's a damned shame he has that corrupt bully streak and can't seem to lose the weight.
Please don't stoop to fat shaming. We have no idea what causes his weight to be so high; it could be everything from stress to genes. Nobody seems to fat-shame Trump and he is unfit, both physically and mentally.
Rick, this ad has to be one of the best I’ve seen in recent weeks from the Lincoln Project. It’s so well paced. The music fits perfectly. The only problem is that all those respectable Republicans who are warning citizens about Donald Trump are not in the least bit respected by his base. But I’m guessing that you’re not trying to persuade the unpersuadable, but that this is aimed at Republicans and independents who have reached a point of being fed up with Trump’s antics and can be reached.
took me way too long to understand that what Trump does everywhere including the 2016/2020 debates was a sort of WWE/reality show performance. when he brought in Bill Clinton's accusers, and most memorably when he stalked Hillary around the debate stage, his total rejection of norms was still so novel I couldn't contextualize these actions beyond the dissonance of his behavior with how candidates act at presidential debates.
Another searing evisceration by TLP. Say what you will about former prosecutor Christie, he’s a master at surgically slicing the guts out of his opponents. Add Liz Cheney to the mix and we have the perfect entree of a hard-core Trump spit-roasting. Kudos to all.
EXCELLENT LP ad. You guys are unbelievably good at what you do. The music, the clips themselves as narration -- they're breathtaking!
Through a series of mishaps and reroutes, I actually WATCHED that shitshow last night. OMG! Christie killed them all, several times over. In another year and another place, I could even see myself considering a vote for him. DeDumbass (I've never been able to call him anything else) kept repeating something regarding Joe Biden's and Trump's age, and I'm damned if I can remember what it was, but I fully expected Christie to point it out like he did with Rubio's memorized talking points in 2016. And now that I've actually seen Vivek Ramaswamy TALK for an extended length of time, I can say that ALL the stories I've heard are absolutely true. What an asshat!! And what? Transgendered people are mentally ill, or something like that? 1958 is calling and would like its view of homosexuality back, Vivek! Asshat!!
At the risk of sounding misogynistic, Nikki Haley is shrill, is she not? I mean, objectively speaking, she made my ears bleed. Shrill or not, I didn't much care for the way Ramaswamy and DeDumbass went after her over and over because she's made money since leaving the U.N. Which of them would refuse money for speaking engagements because it somehow, in our capitalist society, "looks bad?" GTFOH! But her trying to defend herself against their lies only made her look worse. Her best moment was when she was asked if she's like to address something Ramaswamy said. "No." Excellent!
Finally, Megan Kelly? REALLY?? It seemed like all of her questions had a tilt to them that I don't expect to hear from a supposedly neutral questioner. I think she was auditioning for News Nation. Ugh! I don't need to watch one of those again for a while!
You should treat yourself to something for sitting through that debate. I’ve yet to watch one of them. I’d sooner die by 1000 cuts. (Well, that may be an exaggeration, but you get my point.)
All your reporting goes well with the report by Tara Palmieri in Puck this evening about Rick Daines and the NRSC pressuring Senators to endorse Trumkp NOW as a loyalty test, and the same thing being done to a lot of people you undoubtedly used to know in the consultant/operative class and the donors. The GOP is rapidly being transformed even moreso into a totalitarian party no different from the Communist Parties of Stalinist Russia and Maoist China, as well as the German Nazis of the 30s. Showing once again that Totalitarianism is Totalitarianism, whether it pretends to come from "left" or "right."
Please don't tell us what would help Trump. Let your enemy be ignorant the better to destroy him.
Sharp, sharp. Excellent ad.
The fair at 1:15 ? How grey it is, please don’t tell me you photoshopped that just for a joke because its not worth it if so
You know what he’s like if you did do that he’ll take that one image to claim that you photoshop every other image that makes him look bad
If it’s just the way the lighting made it like that day naturally then all good and great work finding it
"the most instance conspiracy twaddle imaginable" - I assume you meant "insane" here, right? Sorry to nitpick but it jumped out at me.
Christie’s last hurrah was a good one!

I’m more worried than ever.
This is my big fear also. Biden can’t afford to lose Jews or Muslims in this election.
I like what your grandmother said. I’m taking that with me.
What I don't understand is how Trump won't be behind bars soon.

Let us hope they have not reached the point of despair and resignation. Lets hope they are watching that channel at least. Damn fine add though.

great ad, btw, first-rate!

Trump spit-roasting is a fabulous image.
As much as I don’t want to, I like Chris Christie. Something about a guns blazing prosecutor. . . 🤷♀️

Now, I will watch the new LP ad on a loop!
Steve, my friends in Florida have been calling him DeSatan for years.
I concur. We all call him DeSatan down here. But I have also heard DeStupid & Rhonda Santis from other reader comments.
