Youngkin is drawing from a too-old GOP playbook

The Lincoln Project   What’s that sound, Friend? That aggravating, all-too familiar sound? Oh right. Another racist dog-whistle from Trump’s GOP. Glenn Trumpkin has been desperately masquerading as a GOP “good ole boy,” hiding his Trump ties to get the swing votes he…

The Lincoln Project   Friend, I grew up in Northern Virginia; right along the border between McLean and Falls Church. My springs were spent at McLean Little League. My Saturday mornings were spent at Temple Rodef Shalom, struggling through Hebrew school. Though I lef…

Here’s what we’re telling Virginia... and the ad that pushed Trump over the edge.

The Lincoln Project   Friend, Biden, Obama, Pence, Cruz… all of the Big Guns are wading into Virginia. Noticeably absent? The Big Gun behind the Big Lie… Trump himself.  Why? Because though he’s been banned from Youngkin rallies, Trump is actually what the Virginia e…

The nature of the moment

The Lincoln Project   Friend, with the Virginia race right around the corner I thought it would be a good time to share some thoughts about the nature of the moment we face. On a macro level, 2021 has been a great year for Republicans so far. Their party’s position h…

What is Glenn Youngkin’s secret superpower?

The Lincoln Project   Friend, Glenn Youngkin has a superpower.  No, it’s not scaring schoolchildren. (Though his anti-mask policies should.) No, it’s not time-travelling to the voting and reproductive restrictions of the 1950s. (Though he sure would like to.) It’s sh…

Is this why Pence won’t come over?
