Steve Schmidt just called Pence a "Titanic Fraud"

[madaboutharry]

Schmidt just tore Pence a new one, calling him every name in the book. Attacking Pence for his "slobbering" over Trump and acting like "the house Butler." Schmidt said we have all had to listen to Pence's "moral preening" for decades and Pence claiming that he was "the moral high ground" of the the party.

It was a thing of beauty. Schmidt sounded like he would have loved to have been able to call Pence a f***ing a-hole on live tv.

1. Someday people are gonna have to do more than "say" stuff.

But I appreciate the remarks.

[BobTheSubgenius]

18. Very, very true.

However, the talk, even if it is "just talk" does the same thing to the WH as it has been doing to the public - normalizing. If all a pundit, or whatever you'd like to call SS, is able to do is mouth off at Pence (or whatever target one has in their crosshairs) it's still doing good.

The sooner this formerly outrageous rhetoric makes these asshats be taken as just another redneck asshole chirping at the VFW or the bowling alley, the better. The sooner it makes them appear reachable...vulnerable.

[Atticus]

2. Heard it. Loved it. Truth spoken out loud and with passion is a breath of fresh air. nt

[diane in sf]

3. Hope Pence goes down like the Titanic.

[cloudbase]

29. He doesn't go down.

Wouldn't want to get "mother" too worked up.

[barbtries]

4. whose show?

The program is called "Deadline White House"

5. George Will called Pence 'oleaginous' and 'repulsive' in WaPo today...

I'm not a fan of Will, but from time to time, he is quite amusing.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-is-no-longer-the-worst-person-in-government/2018/05/09/10e59eba-52f1-11e8-a551-5b648abe29ef_story.html?utm_term=.310b2caf580e

Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America’s most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today’s lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year’s elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing.

Last June, a Trump Cabinet meeting featured testimonials offered to Dear Leader by his forelock-tugging colleagues. His chief of staff, Reince Priebus, caught the spirit of the worship service by thanking Trump for the “blessing” of being allowed to serve him. The hosannas poured forth from around the table, unredeemed by even a scintilla of insincerity. Priebus was soon deprived of his blessing, as was Tom Price. Before Price’s ecstasy of public service was truncated because of his incontinent enthusiasm for charter flights, he was the secretary of health and human services who at the Cabinet meeting said, “I can’t thank you enough for the privileges you’ve given me.” The vice president chimed in but saved his best riff for a December Cabinet meeting when, as The Post’s Aaron Blake calculated, Pence praised Trump once every 12?seconds for three minutes: “I’m deeply humbled. .?.?. ” Judging by the number of times Pence announces himself “humbled,” he might seem proud of his humility, but that is impossible because he is conspicuously devout and pride is a sin.

16. I'm not a fan either, but other than tending toward ostentatiousness,

he writes well, and I'm usually forced to the dictionary for a new word.

[Ligyron]

17. and you know the GOP base from which he sprung has no idea what he's talking about.

Buckley is dead, I wonder who is audience is? Enlightened Democrats, I imagine - certainly not any of Trump's cretin hoard.

[yonder]

21. nice observation.

Just who is his audience, anyway? I think he's a baseball fan too, and knows the game well. I can't say sports writing would ever pay his bills, though. Rick Wilson is another never-trumper conservative writer I like but somehow wouldn't put him in the same boat as Will or Sailboat Billy.

[trof]

20. Hoo! That's gonna leave a mark.

[Maeve]

23. I find the term 'lickspittle' to be particularly well chosen

Such a nasty sounding word for such a nasty attitude!

[comradebillyboy]

7. Schmidt is being too kind

[Volaris]

8. Schmidt hasn't quite convinced me yet. I've always liked him don't get me wrong.

But I'm gonna steal the shit out of 'moral preening'. What an awesome fucking descriptor of pence and the fox-christians.

[OnDoutside]

9. It's a Trumpberg !!!!

[gibraltar72]

10. As long as he didn't call him straight!

[RestoreAmerica2020]

11. House butler probably has more integrity than lambe, fake christian racist bigot pence!

[Lambe: Spanish colloquial--lickass]

[DFW]

12. Speaking of Pence and the Titanic.......

I am reminded of a film with the title "Trading Places" and begin to wish upon a star...........

[Mr.Bill]

13. Here's what I think...

Pence is gay. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

Trump has pictures.

[Hekate]

15. Probably not Trump. Since it was Manafort who arranged this political marriage...

...for reasons I really want to know, the person with the dossier is either Manafort or Putin.

And Manafort's documents are in possession of Mueller.

[Hekate]

14. "Moral preening"! It was a thing of beauty to witness.

[rurallib]

19. that makes republican "high moral ground" about as high as Death Valley

Pence is not the opposite of Trump, but Trump in a clerical disguise.

[oberliner]

22. This is the man who gave us Sarah Palin

[madaboutharry]

24. He has owned this dreadful historical mistake.

Schmidt admits it was a terrible decision to push her to McCain and has apologized for it. He and Nicole Wallace were major sources of the book Game Changer.

I respect a man who can admit he was an idiot.

[oberliner]

25. He supported Jeb Bush in 2016

[madaboutharry]

27. Schmidt is a republican and he supports republican

candidates. That’s ok. I don’t believe every republican is an awful person.

[C_U_L8R]

26. Pence shouldn't have quit his day job

[Iliyah]

28. Apparently the GOPs are smelling blood in the water concerning t-rump

and know that Pence is worst. The destruction of the Unites States of America will continue with Pence and so on.

I wish a video and other pertinent information confirms the obvious stealing of the election of 2016.
