Important conversations—like the one had on Strategy Session LIVE last night, where the live chat was chock full of questions and ideas that could very well find their way into upcoming Lincoln Project ads and messaging.
Friend,
Thank you for being a free Lincoln Square subscriber-and as a free subscriber, chances are you aren’t getting all-access to premium content that you won’t experience anywhere else on Substack: Strategy Session LIVE, our exclusive show for paid subscribers that features unparalleled conversations about strategy and analysis from presidential politics' most successful strategists and advisors: Rick Wilson, Stuart Stevens, and Joe Trippi.
Strategy Session is where YOU become part of the strategy…and you’re missing out!
When we started The Strategy Session back in the old Resolute Square days, we modeled the show on Lincoln Project strategy calls that are held almost every day. On these calls, Rick, Joe, and Stuart run through the day’s news cycle–but only as a jumping off point to create strategy for their next Lincoln Project ad and messaging strategy.
On the calls, Joe pulls from his experience running the Howard Dean campaign–one that changed modern presidential campaigns as we know them, and what he’d learned from his historic Alabama Senate campaign win for Doug Jones. Rick draws on his decades of creating some of the most influential, election-tipping political campaign ads in history. Stuart, on the other hand, provides lessons from his years working on the Romney and Bush campaigns, and his inside knowledge of some of the most-MAGA members of Congress—many of whom he helped get elected (regretfully).
Together, Rick, Joe and Stuart, have witnessed the incredible rise and fall of the Republican Party firsthand, and in real time. They know how MAGA works and provide valuable insights into the minds of the MAGA base. They know what it takes to defeat them. They were there (although Joe was looking in from the Democratic side).
With over eight decades of political campaign experience combined, you just can’t get this type of insider access, experience, and insights anywhere else on Substack.

What you missed last night as a free subscriber was another epic Strategy Session. There was a lot of talk around Trump’s corruption, and some compelling questions and ideas came out of the chat, many of which will probably be cycled into the actual strategy and ads being built behind the scenes by the Lincoln Project.
These exclusive events happen every Tuesday at 5p ET. As Rick says, these aren’t just about our audience getting a chance to listen in. Rick, Joe, Stuart, and all of our guests— from David Pepper, Simon Rosenberg, to Jeff Timmer, to a thousand other incredible strategists, scholars and historians —they all read the chat. They’re on screen, but they’re listening to you, too.
“And just so everybody watching this knows, I've been making notes tonight. We're going to go out and make some Trump corruption content now. We'll start messaging across our platforms, and all the systems we use. You'll see the results of these conversations we’re having with you in the chat, because yes, Strategy Session is for all of you paid subscribers, but it’s also for Joe, Stu and my team, our social media guys, our political team. These are conversations we're having all the time, so we might as well open the gate a little bit, show you guys a little of what's behind the curtain”- Rick Wilson on Strategy Session (May 27th, 2025)
