Steve Schmidt on MSNBC

[BigMin28]

Just now. He said:

"He sat there with slobbering servility, on bended knee, at the feet of Vladimir Putin the Russian autocrat. Again, it was an extraordinary scene the likes of which we have never seen in the history of the United States ."

What an apt description

[FakeNoose]

1. Putin has powerful Kompromat

I'm beginning to think Pootie has Cheeto hypnotized.

[SHRED]

2. One look at Schmidt's bio reveals the monsters he's helped

That said...good on him.

[spooky3]

3. Yes. I think it's a shame that Steve is probably primarily concerned that Trump is hurting the

GOP rather than concerned about the country. But would love to be wrong.

[radical noodle]

4. He has left the Republican Party

Or more likely, the Republican Party left him and it took some time for him to realize it.

[spooky3]

6. Yes, but he likely hasn't changed his views on many policy positions and will

return to it if GOP moves away from the crazies. At least, I have not heard him express any changes in his policy views.

[radical noodle]

10. I think he is still a conservative

but he doesn't seem to agree with the white supremacy and meanness that has overwhelmed the GOP since the Tea Party.

[spooky3]

11. that's my sense too nt

[MoonRiver]

8. Works both ways.

My parents, lifelong Repubs, left the party when the religious right took over. They adored Clinton! Both died before Obama became president, but I think they would have loved him.

[radical noodle]

13. I grew up during the Eisenhower administration

How far they've fallen since then.

5. Never has the taller man, looked so small

[BigMin28]

16. I will never forgive him Palin

But he hit the nail on the head with the description of spanky sucking up to Putin.

[Pantagruel]

9. Arnold wins the day!

"“President Trump, I just saw your press conference with President Putin, and it was embarrassing,” Schwarzenegger said in the clip. “I mean, you stood there like a little wet noodle, like a little fanboy. I mean, I was asking myself when are you going to ask him for an autograph or for a selfie or something like that. I mean, you literally sold out with this press conference our intelligence community, our justice system, and, worst of all, our country. You’re the president of the United States. You shouldn’t do that. What’s the matter with you? I mean, whatever happened to the strong words or to the strength of Ronald Reagan? I mean, he stood there at the Berlin Wall and he said, ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.’ What happened to all that?”

[spooky3]

12. except for the last two sentences, yes!

[yuiyoshida]

14. Perfect...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Slobbering serviliity

That could be a good parody song to the tune of "Silent Lucidity."

" I'm lying here next to you. In slobbering servility".
