The Lincoln Project hopes to capture some of that Howard Dean magic with the hiring of an old white male Dem

Longtime Dem strategist Joe Trippi has joined The Lincoln Project:

Yes, the same Joe Trippi who once led Howard Dean’s failed campaign for president:

He will fit in right in with his new “Republican” friends:

Longtime Democratic strategist joins Lincoln Project to 'make sure Republicans don't win Congress in 2022.' Of course, he's worked to make sure Republicans don't win Congress in every midterm and presidential year for decades, because he is a longtime Democratic strategist. https://t.co/bWo4Vgpu2R

And is it really shocking that they’d hire another old white man?

Well you know I do not like the #LincolnProject and with good reason. They talk a lot but still an all white male org except for the token person of color-they grifted $50Million it was covered globally. Their professional conduct appalling toward women. NO-I do not support them. https://t.co/GxD6XWymDg
