Shortly before the presidential election, GOP public relations worker Steve Schmidt saw Hillary Clinton “trending over 400” electoral college votes. He also predicted that Dems would retake the Senate and were “close” to retaking the House. We know how all that played out. So you probably want to take this morning’s comments from the man who brought you John McCain’s 2008 campaign with a gargantuan grain of salt.
Asked on Morning Joe what he would tell President Trump regarding his assertion that President Obama tapped his phones, Schmidt went on a rant.
Lowlights:
“This makes you look unhinged . . . if you don’t stop this, it will destroy your presidency.“ “You have no path to be successful.” “You will precipitate an international crisis.” “The shattering of credibility is a fundamental issue with the non-stop lying by the president.”

This guy is 46? He looks about 70.
“unsuccessful campaign” is the most frequently used phrase on your link.
““unsuccessful campaign” is the most frequently used phrase on your link.”
You are correct sir!!
Why should we listen to him now?
His @sshole is exposed:
I have watched most of the YouTube copies of the Election Night programming(PBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, BBC, Bloomberg)which is most enjoyable and informative. The Republican commentators are almost invariably more acid and negative on their comments on Trump, his campaign and his chances for election than their Demo operatives, some of whom, like Joe Trippi, are actually interesting and prescient. Instead, the “Republicans” are David Brooks (NYT resident “conservative”); Romney campaign manager Stuart Stevens; this Pile of Schmidt; Mike Murphy, who seems to lose almost every recent election and charges a fortune to do it; some woman named Natalie Wallace who worked for McCain and Bush and who is about as vicious a Trump hater as I’ve seen; Ana Navarro (held some minor position for Jeb); Karl Rove. While Rove moderated his comments, the others are in pig heaven at the beginning of the evening, looking forward to an electoral blowout for Clinton. They start to panic about 9:30 when they realize Florida ain’t going to her, then they are in stunned shock about 11 pm when it is evident Trump has won; when the final delayed projections of him as the winner come in at about 2:40 am, they are full of bile, vitriol and damnation. Anyone who ever hires any of this bunch as “consultants’ in a Republican race again should have their heads examined or pulled out of some body orifice.
"What a dipschmidt!"
Isn’t he the clown who helped run the InSain disaster and then voted for Obama?
Pray America woke
Guy’s a jerk, BECAUSE it is evident Trump did not lie and that media is now running away from their own fake news stories.
Leftists and their globalist, neo-con allies are pushing frantically for a civil war. I don’t know that they will like the result, though, if they get their wish. We sat through eight years of misery for any actual conservative under Obama, but these people are all ready to overthrow the government and burn the country to the ground because they can’t handle having someone they don’t like as president. And it’s only been two months. It’s pathetic and dangerous.
They keep saying he lies. Maybe I haven’t been watching him enough and I don’t do tweeter. What am I missing?
The reason the “news” channels asked those Republicans to appear on election night was because they already knew they were anti-Trump. The “news” programs could double down on their Trump hatred, while pretending to be balanced.
By the way, if you want to see really, really biased election night coverage, make sure you watch the British ITV and the Canadian CBC coverage.
Schmidt was wrong about everything. Hours into the results, he stated it would come down to Michigan. Wrong again. Trump didn’t need Michigan. Michigan and Pennsylvania were just icing on the cake.
Stuart Stevens talked about ‘changing demographics’ the entire night. He was in so much pain.
At least David Brooks recognized early in the evening that Trump was doing much better than expected.
Don’t forget Krauthammer, who smugly told O’Reilly that Clinton was winning Florida and with it, the presidency.
He took his lips off of Romney’s ass long enough to spew this banality.
Every one of the people you mentioned is an operative for the Cheap Labor Express. Their job has always been to prevent us from electing a President who would stop the illegal alien inundation.
LOL for your comment!! :-)
I am not sure that “loser”—although certainly applicable—is the best description. He sounds like a parasite & self-promoter, who would throw his grandmother under a bus, if he could somehow appear to be actually relevant.
Did McCain win?
Thank you for the ITV site; hadn’t thought of it. I did watch part of the CBC coverage on YouTube. Four very angry people, but the angriest was the one from across the border, GW Bush speechwriter David Frum who literally spat out his anger (Frum was one of the leading advocates for the Iraq War). People like Frum destroy any lingering conception that there was anything good about the Bush presidency. I like how they attribute Trump’s surprising win on many of these news outlets Eelction Night to “we found out there were a lot more racists in the US”, or “the uneducated people showed up at the polls”, or “the Trump voters are very angry”. Strange, you never heard a word about Hillary saying half the US consisted of “deplorables” or how she wanted to shut down the coal mines and coal miners, or how a very substantial part of her vote comes from the inner cities, where the schools are far worse than in rural or industrial America and where many of whose residents also aren’t known for their knowledge of physics or Shakespeare.
