They call themselves The Lincoln Project and their goal is to make certain President Donald Trump does not get a second term in office. They’re a small group of eight powerful Republicans and former Republicans who aren’t just “Never-Trumpers,” they’re more like “Hell-Never-Trumpers.” You’re probably familiar with these three: George Conway, Steve Schmidt, and Rick Wilson.

Here’s The Lincoln Project’s “Mourning in America”:

At 12:46 AM Trump went nuts. In one of the series of four tweets he even said, “I don’t know what Kellyanne did to her deranged loser of a husband, Moonface, but it must have been really bad."

Some responses from Conway, The Lincoln Project, and a few of its members:
