Former Republican strategist and MSNBC contributor Steve Schmidt said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) was "just awful" and had a "spectacularly bad" night at the Democratic presidential debate Wednesday night moderated by MSNBC.

Later, when Gabbard was interviewed by MSNBC host Chris Matthews, Schmidt, a former adviser to Sen. John McCain in 2008, chimed in that her positions are "extreme."

STEVE SCHMIDT, FMR. REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST: I thought that Mayor Pete had an exceptional night. He really demonstrated tonight in a performance that was pretty flawless yes has risen into the top tier of candidates. ...

re: “What does this mental midget have against halfway decent looking women getting involved in presidential politics?”

Reminds me of the caveat: “When the devil comes, he won’t be wearing horns and a red cape.”

She is leftist but not communist. That she isn’t a communist makes her “extreme” and “out of the mainstream” to today’s journalists.

Steve Schmitt is the FCC Amateur Radio “Control Operator” of several digital radio repeaters in the Northern Virginia area.

I have always wondered if his affiliation with John McCain and McCain’s role in the Fusion GPS-created Dossier had anything to do with Nellie Ohr’s sudden “HAM radio license”appearing.

Digital voice, or one of the digital text modalities, would make it less likely that her voice would be heard over the air. (few women are heard in general)

Maybe Hawaiians have different way of interpreting at that whole good-bad thing.

I noticed this proclivity before.

Well, yes, Tulsi did slam Heels-Up Harris, but she also lumped Trump in with the warmongers by saying she wants to end the “Bush-Clinton-Trump regime change wars”. Not impressed with her at all.

Tulsi, in her own way, is anti-swamp. That’s why Schmidt hates her.

Is it fair to say that Steve Schmidt “loves” Mayor Peter.

Ha, the former supposed Republican picked her out that crowd as the extremist. Strategist? Must of been who Obama got his leading from behind strategy from.

Isn’t this the jerk who worked along with Nicole Wallace onto McCain’s campaign? The same Nicole Wallace who threw Sarah Palin to the wolves? The same Wallace who hates Trump? Schmidt seems more like a plant than a Republican.

Another example of the establishment on both sides working to keep their power, and money. The sad part is that there are idiots like the KOS, move on .org crowd who are too dumb to understand this.

If Tulsi were prez, ISIS would still be in Raqqa.

Not very intelligent, in a geopolitical way, if you ask me.

He’s OBVIOUSLY working with Skunk Cabbage to prop her up...but to what end? Maybe there’s an issue about whether Tulsi’s natural born, or perhaps she’s able to knock down some of the potential front-runners, as she did with Camela.

I just don’t know.
