He's fighting for his party. I get that. Still, Trump is the end result of everything Schmidt supported in the past. How did he not see it happening? A lot of us did.

He simply didn't care because he thought his kind would always be in charge of the GOP. Never once considered that the GOP pandering to the very worst in human nature would come back to bite them - to bite all of us. Yet he promoted Palin - which should have been a clue. The Tea Party should have been a clue. All the evidence was there - and he didn't care - as long as the GOP didn't look bad and those elements were on the fringe - well, that fringe is now in charge. They managed to get rid of Boehner - yet another clue.

I can't give him a pass. I can't give any republican a pass - Trump is the monster they created. And people like Schmidt never seem to own it so much as try to distance themselves from him.

Well, poo on that.

So? You think the GOP suddenly became racists overnight? You think their racism started with Trump? Solly Mack Nov 2017 #9

I think we need every ally now that we can get, and he speaks to a small but significant pnwmom Nov 2017 #11

I'm not fighting him, obviously. I'd have to be actively engaged one on one w/ him for that to be Solly Mack Nov 2017 #12

I would never stop him from speaking out. But the point is that I don't trust him any further than I Irish_Dem Nov 2017 #37
