Steve Schmidt: Kavanaugh Is a Lose-Lose for GOP — There Is a ‘Blue Tsunami’ Coming
breitbart ^ | PAM KEY

Posted on 09/22/2018 8:03:44 AM PDT by davikkm

Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” former campaign strategist for George W. Bush and the late John McCain’s 2008 fail presidential campaign Steve Schmidt said in the midterm elections, Republican lawmakers were in a “lose-lose” situation concerning President Donald Trump’s nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Schmidt said “They’re in a lose-lose situation now. You would see a demoralized base. It would be a major defeat for the president. He will be seen to have backed down. The base will be angry. It will be enraged at Republican Senators who they think will have betrayed the president. But also if they force it through and Kavanaugh is confirmed, it will intensify passions on the Democratic side. It will drive women turnout in this election in 2018, and I think that whatever the size of the blue tsunami that’s coming—and I think there is one coming—I think it’s going to grow. I think it could be the difference, for example, between Beto O’Rourke narrowly being defeated by Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke narrowly winning that race.”

This clown Schmidt has been around a long time and he has always been a Democrat, he is also the fool that advised the Girly Man in California to implement all his socialist ideas, I find it Amazing he has a job, he has NEVER been right about anything in politics.

This loser's strategy nearly destroyed the Republican brand. He guaranteed Trump would never be elected.

All he can do now to get a paycheck is entertain liberals and tell them what they want to hear.

There isn't a more despicable group of people than former Republican strategists. I pray all of them end up in poverty.

A canal that collects rainwater drainage from Frisco's pristine sidewalks, perhaps ?

If the female electorate actually falls for this sham and votes for the communists as a result, this country was dead man walking a long time ago anyway.

I have no idea - there are articles to support either view. But we shall soon see.

This is, of course, the entire point of this phony baloney charge against Kavanaugh. He will be confirmed and the anti-Trump psychos are going to scream that everybody should follow them, Belushi-like, out of the frat house and down to the polls to vote for Democrats.

But, it's transparent and it's winning over not a single person. It will fire up the permanently on fire and nobody else.

“Steve Schmidt
Snicker. “

He’s actually a member of the Schittt family! They misspelled his last name. He has a brother named Dog, and a sister by the name of Bat. She’s the crazy one in the “family!”

That is the correct solution. You don't piss off your base. This will increase Rep turnout and probably decrease Dem turnout because the Dems failed to stop Kavanaugh's confirmation. And in the long term, Kavanaugh will be on the court to stop SCOTUS from legislating from the bench. For the Reps, there is far more of an upside to confirming Kavanaugh.

He used to post here on FreeRepublic after the McCain debacle

He tried to convince everyone that he and McCain ran a great race and that Palin was the reason they lost.

The only agreement he got was from posters that had ID dates that were a few days old.

He didn’t stay too long.....

Yep, Schmidt is full of it.

Then this must be Deep Schmidt. As opposed to Bull Schmidt of the NY Times.
