Steve Schmidt eviscerates Trump like no one else.

I have a lot of problems with Steve Schmidt, but he's right on the money here:




---------------------------------------------
Edited to add: trump is even more of an idiot for quoting Schmidt because Schmidt was criticizing Bolton for refusing to testify before the House. He was criticizing Bolton for not protecting us from trump.

2. Exactly. I don't want to hear any grousing about how somebody is

or was a Republican because I don't fucking care. Right now the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If they go back to their old evil ways we deal with that then, but at this time we need all the allies we can get.

5. Honorable folks can disagree about policy

That's why we have two parties. But right now we have a common enemy to defeat, and our former adversaries have united with us to defeat an incompetent, evil president they never supported. When he is defeated then we can go back to debating our political differences, but until then, let us welcome the support of honorable conservatives who have chosen sanity over insanity.

I look forward to the day when we can once again debate our differences and at the same time have a mutual respect for each other while we're doing it.

It is a very true and we should be thankful for the help he is giving us at this time.

We are in the fight of our lifetime and need every piece of help we can get.

If we do not win, there is no telling what will happen.

We must win. We must vote. We must prevail.

9. Exactly. That's why I overlook 2008 & his whole foray into Howard Schultz's potential run.

I appreciate his and Rick Wilson's contributions to bringing that thing down. I agree 100% if they go back to their old ways, there's plenty of time to deal with it then. Allies are our best chance of defeating that thing currently infesting the White House in November. Plus, the man does have a way with words that's absolute poetry.

but none of the repub never chumpers will ever have my trust. I need more than their opposition to da chump and mcturtle.

Still, gotta give him his due on turning a phrase. It's nice to see him using it for the sake of what's right.

That two minutes was well spent.

Among liberals, finding a reason to puke on an ally is a national pastime.
Some issue for nearly everybody will fail somebody's personal purity test.
At least PINO has us focused because of his abject horridness.

This is one of Steve Schmidt’s Greatest Hits. The country has been hornswoggled and brought low by an imbecile.

I can't look for one right now but would like to see it if anyone has it. This is just about perfect.

10. This was a clip from Joy Reid's show this morning. Perhaps MSNBC provides transcripts.
