This is the same guy who undermined Palin during the campaign. Let’s hope the GOP listens to him.
Pray America is waking
This Steve Schmidt clown is a prime example of why the conservative base has nothing but contempt for the GOPe.
Let’s not forget what they said about Reagan...........
• New York Times: Reagan’s candidacy is “patently ridiculous.”.
• New York Times: “The astonishing thing is that this amusing but frivolous Reagan fantasy is taken so seriously by the news media and particularly by the President (Gerald Ford). It makes a lot of news, but it makes no sense.”.
• New Republic: “Ronald Reagan to me is still the posturing, essentially mindless and totally unconvincing candy man that he’s been in my opinion ever since I watched his first try for the Republican nomination evaporate in Miami in 1968.”.
• New Republic: “Reagan is Goldwater revisited…He is a divisive factor in the party.”.
• Harper’s magazine: “That he should be regarded as a serious candidate for President is a shame and an embarrassment for the country at large to swallow.”.
Schmidt is not too sharp. He’s seen the kind of payback Trump dishes out to his detractors, but he failed to take the hint. Now Trump’s going to thump Steve good and hard, and he’ll have no one to blame but himself.
Oh the irony. The GOP is reaping what they sowed with Trump expressly because of backstabbing RINOs like Steve Schmidt.
If that doesn't prove that the fix on Obama was in from day one then nothing does. The Uni-Party and Agenda 21 in full force. Go Sheriff Joe!
Actually, candidates like Trump are what the GOP gets for ignoring its base for a quarter-century.
Schmidt and his ilk in the GOPe consultant class are why the GOP finds itself like a mastodon in a tarpit, wallowing ineffectually, awaiting its demise. The only thing they’re good at is syphoning donation money, vampire like, from stupid GOP candidates. Delivering voters? eh, not so much.
they are reaping what they sewed in 2012 and 2008. hint: John McCain and Mitt Romney.
Schmidt has it backward. The Republican party should have stood up to McCain and Schmidt.
You know you are trouble when:
The “top GOP strategist” is a guy who managed a failed campaign against someone like Barack Obama who has more baggage than samsonite
Top strategist for democRATs, at best.
They are desperate!
“The top strategist to Senator John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign ... Steve Schmidt.”
Say no more.
Nonsense. The reason for Trump’s success is a Republican Congress that promised multiple popular conservative programs to achieve power and then backed off and rejected every single one of them as soon as they were voted in. They backstabbed their constituency in favor elite establishment money and perks. Trump is the predictable revolt against that. Trump is pretty much taking the same positions Republicans did leading up to the 2014 midterms. I think people believe there is no way they will every get the entrenched political class to deliver on these things so maybe an outsider like Trump, who doesn’t need the support of the corporate moneymasters, will actually come through and deliver. Trump and his support resembles a populist third party candidate much more than a Republican.
“”it undermined the legitimacy of the duly elected commander-in-chief””
Well, I count that as the first (and probably the last) laugh of the day!!
Open borders extremists hate the birth cert issue. I wonder why? /rhetorical
