If I donated to Terry, could he use it to pay the Lincoln Project? I’m not sure how this works.

I guess AOC is wrong. They just did you thing!

You can never trust Republicans.

Just let them froth. They will spend their Friday night going psychotic over this, and then perhaps calm can return tomorrow. There’s no reasoning with them right now, it’s like trying to talk a toddler out of a tantrum.

Oh the frother is back. Are you ready to admit you were wrong? You were defending the Dems/TMac and jumping on grenades like you work for the campaign.

PP is clearly in a lather (see what I did there) and so embarrassed by her fellow liberals' asinine tactics. As she should be.

Wow. Toast

Just to remind everyone, The Lincoln Project is made up of Republicans.

Who actively support democrats like Biden

ONLY because they abhor Trump and his minions.

If they had a solid R candidate and could rally the base they’d turn around and slaughter Biden.

The initial tweet that was retweeted by numerous people on the McAuliffe campaign said that the poseurs yelled, "We're all in for Glenn."

If the LP had done this as a "statement," as they claimed, they would have had these Democratic operatives simply stand in front of the bus, silent.

But, they were caught. They did not foresee that the Twitterverse would identify some of these folks. So, they had to come up with a cover story.

What a bunch of crazies. This should demonstrate to everyone that The Lincoln Project AND the McAuliffe campaign are just dirty.

Most likely they are trying to take the heat off McAuliffe

Youngkin may be trying to distance himself from Trump to appeal to moderates, but he’ll go full Trump if that’s what he needs to do to maintain support.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/29/us/politics/glenn-youngkin-virginia-governors-race.html?searchResultPosition=3

Oh, dear. You're unable to navigate Youngkin's website, on which he clearly lays out his positions? Here, let me help you:

https://www.youngkinforgovernor.com/post/glenn-you...s-plan-to-support-our-veterans
Youngkin’s Veteran's plan will focus on Competing, Connecting, and Caring for our Veterans:

COMPETE

As governor, Glenn will accelerate processing by waiving administrative fees for permits and applications for small business start-ups for qualifying veterans. This will reduce barriers to entrepreneurship and allow more to enter the marketplace.
We will eliminate tax on military retirement pay.
We will expand the existing Child Care Subsidy Program, this will allow active-duty primary caregivers to apply for the program prior to separation and ensure there is no gap in childcare coverage in the first 90 days after transition.
CARE

We will ensure veterans are receiving the benefits they’ve earned by increasing the number of Veteran Service Officers (VSOs).
Virginia will develop a gold-standard digital hub to streamline access and foster collaboration across agencies, sectors, and businesses.
Critical positions will be filled at the Virginia Department of Veterans Services while unnecessary positions will be eliminated to free-up dollars and resources.
CONNECT

The Youngkin Administration will eliminate bureaucracy and successfully migrate qualified veterans to opportunities in law enforcement, teaching, and healthcare careers by reducing bureaucratic burden and creating bridge programs.
We will establish an equivalence of Training for military police and law enforcement, build on the existing Military Medics and Corpsman (MMAC) Program, and develop an approved RN program that allows military medics to enter the program as second semester students.
We will foster private-public partnerships with organizations that prioritize and provide peer and mentorship-related programs for transitioning veterans.

https://www.youngkinforgovernor.com/post/glenn-you...excellence-in-virginia-schools

The first part of Youngkin’s education plan will focuses on Schools, Students, and Studies, and identifies key actions that can be taken to restore excellence in Virginia's schools, including:

SCHOOLS

Restore the standards by which our schools are measured to actual standards of excellence.
Improve school measurement metrics so we can all see how our schools are doing and where help is most needed.
Increase the number of Academic-Year governor’s Schools, like the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, with a variety of subject areas.
Ensure schools are never again closed unnecessarily for extended periods of time.
STUDENTS

Ensure all children can read, write, and understand math by third grade.
Equip our students to be the top performing students in the country.
Ensure students with disabilities receive all of the services, support, and procedural protections they are entitled to – and listen to parents and students.
Put the power back in the hands of parents by providing them with the information they need to make the best decisions for their children.
STUDIES

Offer more advanced math opportunities instead of holding students back from achievement.
Direct the Department of Education to preserve advanced math classes and the use of advanced diplomas.
Teach kids how to think, not what to think. Encourage critical thinking instead of Critical Race Theory.
Remove politics from the classroom and teach all U.S. history — the good and the bad.

https://www.youngkinforgovernor.com/post/glenn-you...-human-trafficking-in-virginia

Youngkin’s plan includes three big goals and identifies key actions that can be taken to combat human trafficking, including:

ENFORCE

Create a Governor’s Anti-Trafficking Task Force utilizing the State Trafficking Response Coordinator.
Bring together the commonwealth attorneys, Survivor Advisory Council, and law enforcement to form a coalition and make this a bipartisan priority.
Increase prosecutions and impose jail time as opposed to just a fine. This will put pressure on the buyers and address the demand side of trafficking.
Partner with landlords, investigate IMB tax compliance (many don’t fully report revenue), and work with other private sector partners to shut down IMBs.
Ensure all Virginia law enforcement are thoroughly trained in identifying trafficking cases and interacting with victims.
Work with authorities to ensure social media and tech companies actively fight trafficking on their platforms and are held accountable if they don’t.
EMPOWER

Create a Survivor Advisory Council to receive insights on how to empower survivors.
Provide resources survivors need for mental and behavioral recovery and wellness, focusing on the tools they need to address their trauma moving forward.
Foster public/private partnerships to educate, train, and empower survivors through a career and path to a brighter future.
EDUCATE

Increase education about recognizing the signs of a potential trafficking victim and the appropriate ways to take action.
Require school online safety training and education on the amount of trafficking that occurs online, especially through social media.
Expand efforts to increase awareness of the National Trafficking Hotline and other resources for victims to report and get assistance in escaping trafficking.

The only “real” white supremacists I know of are Richard Spencer and David Duke, both of whom supported Biden. So looks like you’ve got the white supremacist vote all wrapped up, real or fake.

Well, if you want to admit to everyone that you are woefully uniformed, that’s your choice. BTW, I am sure that Duke and Spencer were engaging in political stunts just like the Lincoln Project. But, of course, you are just an innocent babe who wasn’t aware of that.

Can you show us one against McAuliffe this campaign please?

And most importantly, unlike Bain, the Carlyle Group didn't kill Toys R Us.

Vote for Youngkin who didn't personally kill Toys R Us!

How many times have y’all associated Youngkin with Trump? Lincoln Project are never-Trumpers.

Youngkin welcomed Trump’s endorsement and Trump will campaign for him Monday. Youngkin associated himself.

That's not what I'm referring to. I'm asking how many times folks on this forum screamed "Youngkin/Trump besties"? Again, Lincoln Project declares themselves Never-Trumpers so whether they are R or D doesn't matter.
