Probably all pre-typed and waiting in a draft folder to respond. Steve knows Trump would have his sights set on him. Entirely predictable.

OH MY! This is fascinating to watch! While I have never been to a bullfight, I imagine this is a verbal/written version we are seeing here. The big difference, is the Donny's horns are much smaller and made of floppy foam rubber when wielded against somebody like Schmidt. Wow.

Make no mistake, Schmidt is not now, and will never be ideologically a Dem. He is, for now, however, fighting the good fight to lance the boil on America's ass, and he is one of our allies. It's glorious to watch.

Wishing we could have all been flies on the wall to watch him spit and sputter at the beat down he just read. We’ve waited four long and anguished years to see this abscess on humanity get what he deserves. And although he doesn’t know it yet, his payback is just getting started. He better fasten his seatbelt because he is about to get a sh*t ton of pent up disgust and loathing.

Bring on round two! I haven’t felt this good in years.

Sounds like Schmidt has extensive research on the Donald

Almost as if he's afraid he won't get another chance. You know what I mean?

A lot of people (especially many seniors) do not read Twitter. If they keep fighting, it will eventually get on mainstream network news aka ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, hell even FauxNews maybe if they are stupid.

Keep up the great work Steve (great name lol)! I wish you would work for us forever, but alas, at least we have you for now.

The GOP has done nothing less than willful homocide on the America people. And for what? Greed and power.

I have to imagine that Steve Schmidt knows his words could cause tRump to have a seizure. I also think he's good with that.

Schmitz is a skilled wordsmith. No stopping to peruse his thesaurus. He already has command of the language to cut/slash his way through what he wants to say. My hat is off to him for his skills. I suspect he will keep us sitting on the edge of our seats to see what he serves up to Asshat tRump next! Bring it, Steve!

If he would just SHUT UP (hmmm, didn't somebody suggest that already?) and start doing his job (I know, why start now, almost 4 years late....) and stay out of the gutter - but NO, that's where he's most comfortable, that's his favorite work place - that's where his mind finds home.

You're going down, Donnie - and don't try to blame anybody else - IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT!!!!!!!

treason-enabling, ass kisser @MarshaBlackburn

President Trump has once again defeated China. Welcome home, @realDonaldTrump.


With:
Howard Baker was once a United States Senator from Tennessee. This woman is a five star fool. What an embarrassment


To which Greta Van Susteren had the gall to respond to with:
Why are you so rude? It is one thing to to disagree w/ someone but you get so personal w/ name calling and you seem to have a particular willingness to insult women.


Schmidt did a great job responding to Hissolini, but Greta needs to receive a swarm of replies asking to see her tweets calling out BLOTUS for name calling or or sexism. (Being in Twitter jail now, I can't see if she got the blowback she deserved.)

Every single supporter of the Bully in Chief has given up the right to ever criticize anyone for rudeness, name-calling, bulllying, misogyny, lying, cheating, stealing, etc. Every time any of them does so, they need to hear about their astonishingly blatant hypocrisy loudly and clearly.

POTUS needs to be held to higher standards, not lower ones.
