There’s potential incentive bc is def in scam territory w these results. It’s a pretty bad rep even tho GOP has a thing for failing up. Come clean, say “listen, we thought it’d work, it didn’t,& in good faith we’re gonna raise X mil for these ppl who deserve it”

And for folks who think it persuaded Republicans, I’d be interested to see data on how effective their videos and NYC billboards were at persuasion. Especially data that justifies $67,000,000. It’s not that persuasion doesn’t work, it’s a Q of if this was persuasion at all ⬇️

It’s not the general “Never Trump” message that’s a failure per se, but the kind of videos they made are pretty well shown to not be persuasive for a Never Trump message. Explicitly insulting anti-Trump content isn’t what gets people to move. If anything it digs their heels in.

BTW I’m definitely happy to be proven wrong. If we can get independent data that ’s videos and billboards were directly responsible for really effective R ➡️ D persuasion - $67 million of it - I’ll publicly apologize. But we just haven’t seen any.

They didn’t fundraise for this purpose - they are political advocacy. Which is a big deal by attorney generals. You cannot fundraiser for one purpose - then change. Donor intent. No matter whether we think better use of funds.

Why attack ? They helped switch so many life-long republicans, some I know personally. This was no easy feat, and their ads were pretty awesome (most of them - not all). Instead of bashing them, how about working with them to finish off Georgia in the run-off?
