The ruthlessness the indictments detail won't convince the former President's base to abandon him, but it better unite those who care about the rule of law, the project's founders say. Former President Donald Trump’s indictment for trying to subvert the 2020 election has some of his fiercest critics believing these charges will not keep Trump from reclaiming the White House.
The unprecedented details of a U.S. President hitting such levels of depravity and ruthlessness to hang onto power has to be a call to arms for all sane Americans, according to a statement from Reed Galen and Rick Wilson, co-founders of the Lincoln Project.
“He IS the Republican nominee. He IS leading in the polls against Joe Biden,” said the statement from the project that’s become known for ads and videos skewering Republican extremism. “The MAGA GOP is a cult that no longer cares about the rule of law and wants to send Trump back to the White House. No indictment is going to stop his campaign.”
A New York Times/Siena College poll released Tuesday found that President Joe Biden is in a neck-and-neck race with the 45th President who started the day with two criminal indictments against him.
Biden and Trump are tied at 43% apiece in a hypothetical rematch in 2024, according to the poll.
The progenitors of the Lincoln Project, which bills itself as a "pro-democracy" effort, say the battle is becoming increasingly urgent, given the lengths the indictment shows that Trump went to perpetuate the “Big Lie” that he won the election.
The indictment contends that Trump tried to recruit fake electors to subvert the legal vote, lied repeatedly despite warnings about the damage he was doing and knew that he was lying.
“All Americans must realize the only choice before voters is between a functioning democracy versus a disgraced former President who tried to overthrow the government,” the Lincoln Project’s statement reads. “There is only one functioning party in America that cares about the rule of law and believes in democracy — and President Joe Biden is its candidate.”
"If Donald Trump does get his old job back, he won't give it up again. It means it will be our last election, at least our last free and fair one."
We need to be clear about the growing danger Trump presents every day he stays atop the GOP polls: https://t.co/z5axbo03JN pic.twitter.com/mzu51Q0ULZ— Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) July 31, 2023
Be careful where you put those pineapples, SS. By the way, you've lost a lot of weight very fast. You look a little sickly. Get well soon. https://t.co/k9gDtz9Dnh— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) July 21, 2020

Maybe these idiots ought to do what Republicans want, rather than fighting them at every step.
“If Donald Trump does get his old job back, he won’t give it up again. It means it will be our last election, at least our last free and fair one.”
It’s always projection with these people
I am voting for him no matter what. If I have to hand write his name in, I am hand writing his name in.
They are doing exactly what many Republicans want.
Same here for myself and family.
Fake indictments from friends of fags at the Lincoln log project won’t stop Trump.
Sounds like good news to me
Correction of faulty fraudulent ballot counts in many places that affected the outcome is NOT “overthrow.”
It is correction.
The establishment Republicans think they know what is best.
They don't. The people should decide who their nominee is.
Likely Paedo or supporter.
Grifter for sure.
Just to put things in perspective, I overheard a conversation where this lady said about Trump, “I don’t like him, he’s so thin skinned. Presidents are not supposed to let other people get to them.”
They don’t make a dunce cap big enough for her.
Unfortunately, her level of intellect is prevalent in American society, so overt lies and projection have a place in out politics.
Exactly. They are trying to stop the will of the people.
He’s full of sh*t. We didn’t have a free and fair election in 2020.
Please don't tell me the writer is an adult. Please!
Well sure - one of the worst extremists as we know is Susan Collins, one of their top targets.
Trump has zero chance of not being convicted in front of a DC jury and an Obama judge. The prosecutor could have gotten an indictment against Trump for the Lincoln murder and the jury would deliberate just long nough to get lunch before returning a conviction. He will be in jail come election day and the country will be in chaos.
2. Which one of those pineapples is a fruit and which one is his head?
