An anti-Trump Republican group is planning to spend $50 million in a campaign to stop the former president from winning a second term in the White House.

Republican Voters Against Trump plans to share testimonial videos of Trump’s past backers who will share why they won’t be supporting the former president come November.

The campaign is orchestrated by Sarah Longwell, a Republican strategist who has long been critical of Trump. The plan is to target “moderate Republican” and Republican-leaning voters in swing states with videos. The group had a similar strategy in 2020, when they shared more than 1,000 testimonials during an election that President Biden won.

    What’s the saying… You can’t use logic to reason people out of beliefs that they didn’t use logic to get themselves into?

    How could there could possibly be moderates at this point. People who are like… Hmm, I better wait until the next debate or I’m still thinking about it. We already know what we’re going to get… With both guys!

    If you haven’t been paying attention for this long then this is one time when you should probably not show up to vote.

      “Moderates” in this election are just people who don’t care about the issues. Like they think all politicians are crooks and don’t pay attention to the news. Maybe they lean one way but don’t like what their candidate is doing right now.

      Forget about moderates. You have to turn out your base. Why do you think Biden is doing this “mea culpa” thing building a pier in Gaza? It looks good to his base, probably not too risky to American soldiers. Costs little because all that equipment and those soldiers are just training anyway. It’s actually very smart.

      Honestly delivering food is great training for the military: it’s hard, achievable, and the end result is good vibes. Plus it makes both Israel and Hamas look like dicks.
