A group of former GOP operatives and strategists known publicly as the Lincoln Project works to accomplish its stated goal of "defeating Trumpism." The fastest-growing super PAC in America proves to be much more than meets the eye, with sophisticated data analytics and voter targeting operations churning away behind the scenes. While the Lincoln Project shows the world how to use storytelling and the power of the internet to punch back at political opposition, the group is shaken by internal upheaval, a sexual harassment scandal, and a tidal wave of negative press.
