and appear often on TV. Only a very few have actually left the entire Republican party so far. Schmidt has been vocally critical of the direction the party has been headed for a while longer. His dealings with with Sarah Palin notably turned him toward "the light." He was in the same Republican line of work as Kellyanne Conway, but was always much more reasonable and intellectual. It will be interesting in what direction he and other reasonable Repubs will go, once we're rid of Trump (and hopefully Pence).
