20. Schmidt may not have intended his tweet to be a set up for a fool
Wed Aug 19, 2020, 05:26 PM
Aug 2020

but it worked! Cruz, smug person that he is ("oleaginous cretin" indeed, Teddy; where'd you get that phrase from? Sure is smart to use it and I bet -- Cruz saying this to himself -- I bet Schmidt's gonna me so humiliated when he finds out what it means! Ha Ha He, little buddy -- Cruz referring himself as his own little buddy) probably thought he said something profound and devilishly insulting. Schmidt, on the other hand, said, well, come into my parlor, said the spider to the extremely stupid fly!

Everything Schmidt tweeted is beautiful because it is absolutely true and the crooks, liars, and generally cowardly treasonous bastards in the Republican Senate can say absolutely nothing to counter it.

I love Steve Schmidt today but am aware that the Democrats had better be mindful that, once Trump is gone and the GOP -- what's left of it -- start re-organizing, he's going to make a truly formidable foe.
