Steve Schmidt is another one, and Nicole Wallace, who refused to vote for Palin, even though she worked for McCain's campaign.

But Schmidt is my favorite of this group we're talking about.
This is still the best 1:30 of analysis I've seen to date:

(36,926 posts)Those of us who see a 360 degree difference from his linguistic and memory abilities from 20 years ago, as compared to now, are just pointing out the obvious.
Raven
(13,886 posts)I don't see dementia. I see a con man of limited intellectual capacity who is in over his head and willing to do anything to make himself look good. This guy had enough linguistic ability to rant on without a script for over an hour last night. I just don't think he has dementia.

(16,646 posts)He reminds me of my father in the earliest stages of dementia. We didn't understand it at the time and only in hindsight did it make sense. But his vocabulary is becoming more limited and he repeats phrases often, both in the same sentence and in the same paragraph. By the way, things like "crooked Hillary" are reminiscent as well in that my father had more and more trouble with proper nouns and names and started using more pronouns and nicknames. Have you ever noticed how often he has paused when invoking her name? There are times he stops between "Hillary" and "Clinton" as if he doesn't remember he last name.

having grown up in NYC, I have always known of or knew of the trump family.
They were always showboating bastards.
but with tRump, I had always had the feeling that there was something else going on.
just remember no all psychopaths are smart, just clever in a horrible way.
