      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Ben Domenech

      1. I've known both Ben & David for many years. This is just not who David is. Even when I've disagreed with him on matters of political judgment, he's a man who tries with great sincerity both to walk with the Lord & follow the lodestars of the American Founding.https://twitter.com/bdomenech/status/1281811052351696902 …

      Ben DomenechVerified account @bdomenech
      I don't know what blessings of liberty are, but David French seems to think they all erupt from the font of his personal magnificence. The guys who were outside the wire think exactly what you'd guess of that hubris.

      2. These past five years have been enormously frustrating times for everyone on the Right. Our friendships, principles, & personal & movement interests have often not been in sync. It's easy to turn on others who have sailed in different directions. Yet, we need each other.

      3. Yes, there are people who have been exposed in various ways. But a lot of people have also just been put to agonizing choices. I try very hard not to begrudge those who have made different choices sincerely.

      4. Some have left our tent, never to return, & are trying to burn down everyone still left in it. If you're focused on preserving the coalition, save your fire for them. Not for people trying, by ways different than yours, to save the tent.

      5. For my part, I stick up for my principles, my friends, my party, & my causes. It has not always been easy doing all of those simultaneously.

      6. The Right has a long tradition of disputing ideas & strategies. What I don't want, & what I don't think either David or Ben wants, is to just build an audience of people who are only here for bashing other people on our own side.

      7. Speaking of trying to burn down the tent:https://twitter.com/EdWhelanEPPC/status/1282076943404412933 …

      Dan McLaughlin added,

      Ed Whelan @EdWhelanEPPC
      If the Lincoln Project’s “singular mission” (per its website) is to “defeat Donald Trump and Trumpism,” what’s the strategic sense of working to flip the Senate to Democrats? How is that good for the conservative or Republican causes the project’s founders support? https://twitter.com/costareports/status/1282074263269388288 …

          What's the "tent"? A political party?

          Replying to @wahoolaw2006 @baseballcrank

          Yes. It's a reference to the longstanding tradition of the GOP being a "big tent" party home to people with multiple viewpoints from (usually) the Right.

          Last I checked Rick Wilson was a member of the Lincoln project, so would you care to revisit your statement of him not wanting to produce an echo chamber?

          Horribly written. See that's where I have issues with @JonahDispatch take about the Lincoln Project as having good goals for Republicans. Being we should be okay with their messages put out if they are going to get gains back in the house and senate with Biden as Pres.

          An endless effort to pretend like Trump's enablers are not the reason we are still stuck with Trump. I mean, this is not in the slightest difficult to understand. Not in the slightest.

          How can anyone trust any of the GOPers who put aside principles to stand with Trump. They tolerated and enabled his behavior. They feared the "Trump Base" more than they respected and cherished their constituents. They used twisted logic to excuse their self serving actions.

          For those of us that looked up and realized that the tent had long been relocated to somewhere that we weren't willing to go: I'm fine with watching it burn.
