Full title: ‘Today I renounce my membership’: Longtime GOP strategist Steve Schmidt announces he’s leaving his party
Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, a senior adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), announced early Wednesday that he is leaving the Republican Party, which he decried as “fully the party of Trump” and “a danger to our democracy and values.”
In early-morning tweets, Schmidt, a vocal Trump critic, urged voters to elect Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections and harshly criticized the administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S. border, describing the government-run detention centers as “internment camps for babies.”
“29 years and nine months ago I registered to vote and became a member of The Republican Party which was founded in 1854 to oppose slavery and stand for the dignity of human life,” Schmidt wrote. “Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the party of Trump.”

He knifed Sarah Palin in the back and sabotaged the losing campaign.
Since then he has been calling himself a "Republican strategist" to the media while he attacks conservatives and works to help Democrats and leftist.
He is simply a slime ball.
Now, he runs to the Washington Post and cries about how he is no longer a Republican and has left the party.
Good. He should go away and never come back.
He was always a Democrat in an R jersey just like his boss McCain.
President Donald J. Trump sure can smoke ‘em out.
More swamp sludge gets flushed. This is a good thing.
Good riddance.
Another POS liberal gone!!!!!
Hoorah!!!!!!!!
This is great news! We have to purge the party of weasels before we attract the far more numerous disaffected non-participants. As a bonus, internal spying and disruption is reduced.
Is he going to join the 40% of Democrats who are Socialists (per Hillary Clinton) or the other 60% who are full blown Communists?
Sarah Palin did not know that they were supposed to lose.
She was running to win.
McCain was a willing Designated Loser.
Schmidt dispatched Nicole Wallace to kneecap Palin.
That comes as a real shock, with McStain having such strong small-r republican values. Oh wait...
Schmidt the $hit can get run over by a drunk driving illegal alien for all I care.
What a worthless sack of crap. The GOP is better off without this RAT spy.
Good. Now this loser can go “help” the Democrats. (Exactly what campaign success stories does this guy actually have?)
Good Riddance.
Jerk. Flake and McCain wanted rapid arrests in 2015; which would have been essentially what POTUS is doing now:
Then why are they calling him a GOP strategist? He's a Dem Strategist if he worked for McLame>
Leaving his party ???
Like Micheal Steele and Nicole Wallace he is a liberal playing a Fake Republican for MSNBC.
Dont forget Morning Joe.
There’s more there too.
