In reply to the discussion: Rick Wilson on Sandy Hook [View all]Music Man
(1,184 posts)72. I can compartmentalize these things.
If Rick Wilson wants to help us defeat Trump, then great. Same with Steve Schmidt, Nicole Wallace, David Frum, and others. I'll often see people here cast them aside: "Ugh, Steve Schmidt is a Republican. Can't trust him."
But sometimes we should be gracious and just accept help. If they help turn moderate opinion against Trump, then why jeopardize that goodwill in the meantime? Democrats don't have to accept the Lincoln Project's underlying Republican ideology or incorporate it into policy just because they used the Lincoln Project for an electoral advantage when it counted.
