George Conway group endorses Joe Biden

[William769]

An anti-President Trump conservative group that includes George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, endorsed Joe Biden on Wednesday in the 2020 presidential race.

The Lincoln Group endorsed the former vice president's campaign shortly after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) withdrew from the contest, paving the way for Biden to become the Democratic nominee.

The organization said it is "committed to ensuring that Joe Biden is sworn in on January 20, 2021."

"Joe Biden has the experience — in politics, in government and in life — to lead the United States out of our current crisis," said co-founder Reed Galen. "As America contends with unprecedented loss, we need a leader who can steady our ship of state, bind up our common wounds, and lead us into our next national chapter. Joe Biden has the humanity, empathy and steadiness we need in a national leader."

1. Why Hasn't Trump Fired KellyAnne?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[William769]

2. She's got a big mouth and will lie about anything?

[George II]

17. Did you see the video of his new "Press Secretary", McInsanity, saying....

....that on the day Daniel Pearl was murdered "President" Obama was playing golf.

The divisive, deplorable woman neglected to say that in 2002, when Pearl was murdered, Obama was just a State Senator in Illinois, not even a US Senator yet.

They are disgusting!

[CatMor]

3. She knows too much.

[Rebl2]

15. Got that right

She knows where the “bodies are buried” you might say.

[Cha]

4. COOL! I'll take all the Support WE CAN GET!

George Conway seems to be super savvy about what a malignant idiot trump is.. and how he can be married to one of trump's main pushers of fake news is mind boggling.

Thank you for this, Bill.

5. Ditto!! But one has to wonder why this oddest of couples - the Conways - can coexist

must be hell at home w/ a wife who lies for the devil himself. This is an interesting old article from NYT about their peculiar union: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/14/us/politics/george-and-kellyanne-conway.html

Aloha Cha (psst...Bernie's news today made my hump day )

[sheshe2]

8. See James Carville and Mary Matalin.

Now divorced.

[kinksfan1]

13. Don't think they ever divorced.

James and Mary are still together. They never got divorced.

[onetexan]

14. Correct, and i happen to like that couple. They have their views but when they're together on

interviews he capitulates. Carville has also admitted that's how they make it work. They also happen to love each other. As i've often heard from male spouses who've had long marriages, the 2 words that make it work is "Yes Dear" .

[The Magistrate]

19. That Is True, Ma'am

Over a half century one does learn....

[Cha]

9. lol.. yeah that was amazing news today!

It needed to happen... all hands on Deck is not just a saying.

Thanks for the link, onetexan..

Joe Biden!

Aloha!

6. Biden gets the official support of the NeverTrumpwe GOP group that runs all those devastating ads

12. Fact filled tweet from Joy, Goth.. TY!

Better Retweet.. I'm wondering about Bloomberg, too.

Great Endorsement from the Lincoln Project.

18. There's little point to ads this early

The GE is months away, all anyone is going to remember is how fucked up the spring was. All that's required is a saturation carpet bombing of every media starting about Oct 1. That's as long (or actually longer) than most people's attention spans

[Wounded Bear]

20. Attack ads right now, in the middle of the crisis, might be counter-productive...

In a month or two, start sending them out as reminders to people what a fustercluck the Trump CV response was.

[relayerbob]

25. I agree

Biden is better off showing that he is the adult in the room, as opposed to wasting time and money pointing fingers. To say nothing of any miscues being used against him. When it gets closer to the time, then go for the full-on aerial bombardment from media

[The Magistrate]

21. There Is To Be Said For A Rising Drum-Beat Over Time, Sir

People are spending a lot of time looking at various screens nowadays, more than usual it would seem.





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

[relayerbob]

26. I don't disagree with a rising drum beat, but ...

this far out, and with all the background noise, it's sorta pointless. No one really cares. Well, they care, but November is a long way off. I think most would prefer the election to be tomorrow, get it over with and get IQ45 out. Start it about mid-summer perhaps. Now, it's better for Biden to look like the adult in the room. His compassion and sincerity will win far more points than beating negatives into the ground. So far, in this cycle, there has been almost nothing gained, and a lot of time and money (as well as support) lost by folks who have gone on the attack, especially at the wrong moment. It has nearly always backfired. Biden has stayed back from that, and it is to his benefit, IMO. People are sick of it. They really are. They want a President who can act like one. When the time comes, let Bloomberg and the Nevertrumpers blast away at IQ45, and keep Joe mostly above the fray.

[The Magistrate]

28. It Is True, Sir, The Best 'Advertisements' For Us Now Are The Press Conferences

The cheap thug drivels and whines and blusters and all in all makes a repellent spectacle of himself for hours a day, disgusting and enraging more and more people.

[relayerbob]

29. Yep, let the GOP dig their own graves

Wait until they step into them, and then bury them. All we get by digging is to make ourselves dirty. Just pop up some popcorn, grab a tall, cool lemonade and watch them dig. The bs level ain't gonna drop any time soon

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Always thought Carville / Maitlin were the gold-standard of political dysfunction.

They have nothing on KellyAnne / George.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

11. Very well put

[SiliconValley_Dem]

10. That was fast. Faster than Bernie endorsement, even

[George II]

16. I'll get in trouble for this but George Conway proves that even conservative Americans....

....have principles.

Country before party!

Too bad there are still many who are too selfish to realize that.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Some conserves have principles...nt

[The Magistrate]

23. Some Do, Sir

I would not extend it too generally, but certainly some do....

"When conservatives find their views cannot prevail in elections, they will not give up those views. They will give up Democracy."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed.

24. This won't help me in my effort to sway CA Bernie bros to vote for Joe.

In the middle of a Facebook thread and it's depressing how much they think Biden is corrupted by big oil, etc, etc.

https://www.facebook.com/100000960479234/posts/3678460332195946/?app=fbl

It may well be CA's cost of living and property values being out of control outweigh reason. A burst bubble seems inevitable. Not sure how to argue on that topic.

30. NEW: @ProjectLincoln has a new ad out.

31. Strange times produce strange bedfellows

This is certainly a case in point. But NeverTrumpers should be welcome to the 2020 fold because they recognize the incredible threat that Trump and his criminal band pose to our security, our survival as a democratic Republic.

Never thought I'd say that about any group of Republicans. However, as someone said upthread, this proves that some conservatives have principles they're not willing to toss overboard for the sake of naked power-grabbing. Not this time at least.

Regardless of the past, it's time to reach out to this contingent with an open hand, rather than a clenched fist. Right now, we're on the same side with the same goal: crushing Trump and his enablers.

Strange times, indeed!
