Watching "Game Change" again...

Wow...this was the Vanguard mission of the Lunatic Fringe. Now we are chained in bed with these people.

Haven't seen Steve Schmidt lately either.

We are at a crossroad. Palin was the emissary to break the ice and start the journey to the far-right extreme. Now we have Cruz and it can actually, believe it or not, get worse. Don't believe that at your and our peril.

I thought Steve Schmidt was some kind of political commentator on MSNBC -- usually on election nights. His backing of Palin should have ruined his career, and whatever credibility he has/had.

I try to watch it whenever it's on....the performances are spot on, and I just sit in total amazement at how it all went down.

John McCain’s former senior adviser Steve Schmidt says he has “deep regret” for helping to create a “freak show” wing of the Republican Party when he had a hand in bringing former McCain running mate Sarah Palin to the national stage.
Schmidt said Monday on MSNBC’s “Hardball” that it’s time for the GOP to stand up to the “asininity” embodied by Palin and others.

Palin as VP would have been a massive disaster. But even more so with the tebaggers running things.
