Shortened title.
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.”

Is he going to join the 40% of Democrats who are Socialists (per Hillary Clinton) or the other 60% who are full blown Communists?Yes.

“incompetent, train wreck of a campaign for McCain in 2008.”
I think it’s safe to assume that it was by design at this point :-).

Exactly what campaign success stories does this guy actually have? Well, Obama was selected. I assume that was his preferred outcome.
