From an interview on PBS:

"America has never lost a war." Well, if you were raised to believe in the lost cause myth of the American Confederacy, THATS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.'

And then I got it. Schmidt is a political genius of the very first order. He recalls a tale of the losing McCain campaign against Obama where Palin wanted to give the concession speech, instead of John. He said

'My last act as campaign manager was to order that stage tech to kill the lights and mics if she tried to walk out onto that stage.'

He might be a conservative. But he IS a patriot. And Rick Wilson iant ANYONE I would want mad at me; that man is a true Master of his Craft lol.

For the time being, I'm glad they're on our side (sort of lol)

May this usher in a huge amount of temporary defections to do what a clear majority want and need. . OAITW r.2.0 Sep 2021 #1
