Steve Schmidt, the former adviser and strategist on former Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) 2008 presidential campaign, blasted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday night, saying he has become "corrupted by ambition."
Schmidt, a frequent critic of President Trump, publicly denounced the Republican Party in June and said he will begin voting for Democrats.
His broadside against Graham came a day after the senator ripped into Democrats for their handling of the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.
"He's corrupted by ambition, corrupted by politics," Schmidt told MSNBC's Brian Williams in an interview. "And it's tragic because this country could use a statesman right now and Lindsey Graham, for a long time, was on a path that he would be that person. That he

Reminds me of Rob Reiner
No I believe whatever McCain was holding over Graham’s head died with him. Or Trump made it to away. Graham’s immediate 180 is too dramatic. Nobody changes that fast.
Linda is up for re-election in 2020, if Trump supporters a primary challenge Linda will go the way of Snowflake and Corkhole. This is why he is acting like a conservative Republican again and dont get me wrong what he said at the hearing needed to be done!!! But I dont trust him anymore than I did McInsane.
As for Schmidt hes a perpetual and professional NeverTrumper loser like the rest of the snobby NeverTrumper party pukes. I detest them more than the Democrats.
Maybe Lindsey Gramham finally woke up.
Give Lindsey Graham another point in his journey to redemption.
Regardless of Lindsey Graham’s motive for waking up he was most definitely and without question the man of the hour for the Judge Kavanaugh hearings and for that we can be very thankful
GOD bless our REPUBLIC!
Everyone notices a different Graham since the sage of AZ went room temperature.
Steve Schmidt is the glob of scum who backstabbed Sarah Palin when she was whatzizname’s VP Candidate, leaked false accusations about her to the media, etc. Payday is coming Schmidt, when the Supreme Judge settles with YOU.
Hell hath no fury like a faggot burned.
I’ve often wondered if Schmidt chose Palin, knowing that it would drive the Hillary voters who were prepared to vote for McCain over Obama, scurrying back to vote for Obama?
Graham has been released from McCain’s control. Makes on wonder why that control?
Schmidts resume is pretty special, running McLame’s campaign to lose to Obama!
I’m really glad to see Graham show some balls, actually. Let Schmidt vote for Dems, who cares?
He might have picked her. All I know for sure is when the whole McCain campaign staff turned on her and started leaking lies about her, McCain like the vermin that he was, turned his back and left her twisting in the wind, taking smears and arrows from both his staff and the ‘Rats.
It was Charlie Black, McCains chief campaign strategist, who floated Palins name to McCain.
Steve Schmidt has been corrupted by money.
Take the beam out of your eye Stevie.

Who gives a crap what this guy has to say. He’s obviously always been a Democrat (probably voted Democrat anyway) and was in the employee of a Democrat at heart (McCain) if not in name. People like him are pure scum.
Both can be true. Power hunger breeds envy and conflict, especially among leftists. (And Kristol, son of an unrepentant Trotskyist, is emphatically a leftist.)
The Trotskyist (Neocon) Republicans and Marxist Democrats are competitors, not opponents. They are all anti-American globalists on a practical level.
Hence no repeal of Obamacare.
Hence no funding for the Wall.
What havevSchmidt, and his sidekick, Nicolle Wallace, been corrupted by?
