I don't give two shits and a popcorn fart what Steve Schmidt has to say about the GOP [View all] eleny Jun 2018 OP

I do. He says it better than most. I like it that when people tell the truth about trump JI7 Jun 2018 #1

He helped the GOP to get into power and now all he has is angry words eleny Jun 2018 #3

No he didn't. He opposed trump from the start JI7 Jun 2018 #7

He's been working for the GOP for decades eleny Jun 2018 #9

No. Many on DU supported trump unlike steve schmidt JI7 Jun 2018 #13

The people at DU who suported Trump were probably trolls eleny Jun 2018 #33

Schmidt opposed trump from the start and tells the truth about trump more clearly than anyone JI7 Jun 2018 #36

Dream on at your own risk eleny Jun 2018 #43

It seems to please you to attack one of the strongest voices against trump JI7 Jun 2018 #45

IMO our strongest voices have been long time Democrats eleny Jun 2018 #49

Nope, Schmidt has been stronger than most and his being a former republican was JI7 Jun 2018 #53

You mean to tell me that you hold Schmidt in higher esteem than Democrats who speak out every day? eleny Jun 2018 #69

I think Steve does far better than Alan dershowitz who is a long time Democrat JI7 Jun 2018 #74

The only Dem screaming out about Trump is Maxine Waters leftofcool Jun 2018 #62

I don't give a shit if he wants to support romney. I'm glad he opposes trump JI7 Jun 2018 #23

I do give a shit if he supports anyone in the GOP eleny Jun 2018 #26

This isn't about the usual party politics. So you don't think republicans in congress should JI7 Jun 2018 #32
