Former GOP strategist turned Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt ripped into Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in a new episode of his political podcast, "The Warning."
"There he is," said Schmidt, showing an image of DeSantis during his interview with Fox News in which he claimed he would "smash" leftism in the United States as president. "Governor Ron DeSantis. The Mussolini of Tallahassee, using a U.S. Navy war vessel as a visual prop just days after his disastrous launch, which spawned the fantastic hashtag, "#DeSaster."
"Who is it that he wants to smash?" said Schmidt. "Is he going to arrest Bernie Sanders? Is he going to send AOC to a rehabilitation and re-education camp?"
This moment, for Schmidt, encapsulated how DeSantis is unfit for office — and how his presidential campaign, hyped by numerous GOP donors looking for an alternative to Trump, will crash and burn.
"Ron DeSantis' campaign is going to be epic," said Schmidt. "As in, an epic debacle for the ages. He will raise more money against lower vote results than any presidential candidate in American history. He's going to make Texas Senator Phil Gramm look like Bill Clinton, when it comes to politics, by the time this is done."
"Let me just say this about Ron DeSantis, and his wanting to smash and break and hurt," he continued. "The job of the American president is to temporarily lead the American people, and to make the Union more perfect. Ron DeSantis doesn't understand that. He's as unfit at a moral level, at a character level, as any person has ever been, including Donald Trump, running for this office."
"He will fail," said Schmidt.

Sounds like DeSantis has exactly the right enemies. The left has the same laughable talking points.
Not surprising. Trump was never a conservative.
No, because Conservatives have become losers. Trump is a Constitutional populist. That’s quite different. Ryan was a Conservative. McConnell is a Conservative.Maverick McCain was a conservative.
ahahahaha....get outta here. Your Trump cult posters hog up this place like nobody has ever before. One of them alone posts 10 times as many as this. Get outta here......
Conservative(political): A politician who conserves nothing. A self-described voter who, believing America is still a functioning republic, elects and re-elects politicians who conserve nothing.
Why waste time posting this crap? Who cares what this lefty guy thinks?
This Leftist and Nicole Wallace being against DeSantis equals:
Ringing Endorsements
Because it puts egg on the face of the Trump cultists (not the same as Trump supporters) who constantly smear DeSantis as a RINO without evidence.
This is evidence that many RINOs do not like DeSantis because DeSantis is a true conservative with principles.
And I’m sure that Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt is as pure as the new driven snow, which allows him to finger point and sit in judgment of Republicans.
And of course, he turns a blind eye to Biden and his family, pelosi and hers, and all the rest of the corrupt, immoral democrat politicians.
Pedo says what?
” Ryan was a Conservative. McConnell is a Conservative. Maverick McCain was a conservative.”
No they aren’t. They’re RINOs.
If Steve Schmidt is against DeSantis, then I’m for Ron.
Ugly, too!
“This is evidence that many RINOs do not like DeSantis”
How? This guy isn’t a RINO, he’s a Lefty.
I’m not understanding your argument, but maybe I haven’t had enough coffee yet. Or maybe you think he’s a RINO, when he’s really a Dem Lefty?
It's that obvious? lol
Schmidt is a Democrat infiltrator.
And still won't acknowledge it.
But, as I have said, lying is a pattern with some desantis supporters.

I’m telling you. One guy is like Trump spam.
I wish!
