They call themselves The Lincoln Project and their goal is to make certain President Donald Trump does not get a second term in office. They’re a small group of eight powerful Republicans and former Republicans who aren’t just “Never-Trumpers,” they’re more like “Hell-Never-Trumpers.” You’re probably familiar with these three: George Conway, Steve Schmidt, and Rick Wilson.
In the early morning hours of Tuesday President Donald Trump went all-out ballistic against George Conway and members of The Lincoln Project over one of their ads attacking him. Trump’s dead-of-night screed was crazed but mediocre. Whether or not he even wrote it is up for debate.

It’s based on a classic, historic Ronald Reagan re-election ad titled, “Morning in America,” which projected optimism and hope, and ended with these words: “It’s morning again in America, and under the leadership of President Reagan, our country is prouder and stronger and better. Why would we ever want to return to where we were less than four short years ago?”
