I cant believe Steve Schmitt and Nicole Wallace sound more like Dems than a lot of dems

[onecaliberal]

They’re willing to call dump out for what he is.

[lapfog_1]

1. Nicole loved her some Joe Kennedy III.

Now Schmidt is loving him some Kennedy

[onecaliberal]

3. Joe was fantastic.

[lapfog_1]

7. I think my point is that Nicole might as well register as a Democrat

[onecaliberal]

10. Steve Schmitt too, hes even more harsh on dump than Nicole.

[lapfog_1]

15. They didn't leave the Republican Party

It has left them when it adhered to Trumpism.

[DeminPennswoods]

27. I like Wallace, but she's still has core

Republican beliefs. Kasich was on her Tuesday show and she practically begged him to run for president in 2020. Kasich puts a on benign facade, but he's almost as radical a right winger as Pence.

[madaboutharry]

2. Steve Schmidt has been in a state of despair since Trump came down the escalator

He sees Trump has a clear and present danger. Schmitt is just outraged at this horror. It shows us that republicans are not all dreadful people. Steve Schmitt is a good man.

[SCantiGOP]

9. Schmitt is a Democrat

He has seen the light. If he hates/fears Trump and will vote against him in 2020 — he is a Democratic.

[madaboutharry]

14. He says he's still a republican,

but maybe he'll be the last to know!

[OnDoutside]

25. Maybe his Demdar isn't working !

[Miigwech]

4. Please post a link for us that do not have twitter, thanks.

[onecaliberal]

5. Its on msnbc not twitter.

[monmouth4]

6. Even Chuck Todd is sounding normal and non-snarky. I think he performs normally

when Trump insults him...HA!

[onecaliberal]

8. Dump was terrible apparently. Who can be surprised.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I thought what Chuck Todd said was very interesting -

that when Trump reads from a teleprompter it's not the real Trump, and tomorrow he'll go back to his "normal" self. He thought Trump would be more authentic if he just ad-libbed, and Nicole Wallace laughed and said if he did that he'd be immediately indicted.

[monmouth4]

17. That was a good segment enjoyed Nicole Chuck and Steve..n/t

[DeminPennswoods]

28. His heart is never in those canned speeches

It's like watching an elementary schooler stand up in front of the class and recite The Gettysburg Address or Casey At The Bat.

[TomSlick]

12. I'm agreeing with Chuck Todd?

The center cannot hold.

[C_U_L8R]

13. True.

We have a lot more in common with Schmidt and Wallace than some in our own party. For lots of good reasons. I feel there's a class of Dems who are just coasting along (just some, not all) and then we have a new guard like Kennedy and Harris and Booker who just ooze energy and ideas. Y'know it's time to pass the torch.

[RandomAccess]

16. I really love them both

She strikes me as a little flighty tonight, but she has excellent insight and Schmidt is just brilliant, with great vision, integrity and wisdom.

[Hoyt]

18. When Schmitt was talking, I was wishing he were a Democrat. But maybe he sounds so good

because he was a loyal GOPer for so many years. He makes one hopeful that a small, but large enough, group of GOPers can see what is happening to our country and want that to change.

All ace has become one of my favorites on MSNBC.

[JI7]

19. yup, They are tougher on Trump than Axelrod and Van Jones

CNN was fucking annoying during the election with Axelrod and Van Jones supposedly the main Dems but they never supported the candidate or attacked the opponent the way the republicans did.

[Wounded Bear]

20. Actually, they sound like Americans...

who put country above party politics.

They're both still conservative.

[Pope George Ringo II]

26. I'll take it

Honorable, principled opposition is a good thing in a democracy.

[Sharpshooter007]

21. Steve Schmitt and Nicole Wallace are Bush/Cheney Republicans aren't they?

So they supported the Iraq war, gitmo remaining open, deregulation that led to the financial crisis, mass surveillance, torture etc presumably yeah? At least they aided an administration that did.

Amazing how Trump has moved the Overton window so far to the right that these people and senators like Bob Corker and John McCain are our new friends.

[onecaliberal]

24. I didnt say theyre our friends, I said they sound more like Dems than some Dems.

I don’t hear many Democratic Congress people condemning dump in the strong terms they are. I’m well aware of what they supported in the past. At least when democracy hangs in the balance they’re on the right side. Not many of their ilk are.

[CentralMass]

30. So did a large number of Democrats, or at least enough Democrats..

[TeamPooka]

22. Nicole used the word 'we" when talking about Democratic Party politicians winning back Congress....

I was like NOW it's "we", huh?

[trueblue2007]

23. I LIKE THEM BOTH NOW. They were GREAT in the Sarah Palin movie. They hated her guts.

[PJMcK]

29. Here's a wonderful clip from "Game Change"

I still hate Sarah Palin. Her candidacy accelerated the downward spiral of American politics.

[DeminPennswoods]

31. Wallace talked about Kennedy's response

with Schmidt. She said that in their former jobs, they'd have watched Kennedy's speech very closely to get a read on the opposition. She said, "I counted x "we"s, x "you"s and 0 "I"s." That would've signaled to her that he was a "formidable" opponent. I found that bit of inside baseball really interesting and informative.

32. Kinda scary how far the political spectrum has shifted to the right isn't it?

I've read Reagan would be considered too liberal for today's Republican Party.

[Wounded Bear]

33. Indeed. Now, a moderate Democrat gets vilified as a "far left liberal/commie"...

fill in the latest RW slur. What used to be the Center/Right wing of the Repub party is presented by many in the press as "Centrist" now.

The country is badly in need of a decided lurch to the left.

[jalan48]

34. I agree-they have backed us into a corner-we need to start swinging back if we are to survive.
