Steve Schmidt Is a Democrat Now, After Years Spent Shaming Republicans Over Trump
PJ Media ^ | DEC 16, 2020 | STEPHEN GREEN

Posted on 12/16/2020 11:42:47 AM PST by george76

It’s official: Longtime Republican strategist Steve Schmidt is a Democrat. He told “Battleground” podcast co-host David Plouffe Monday night that he’ll change his party affiliation.

...

Schmidt has enjoyed a long career in Republican electoral politics. He ran day-to-day operations for John McCain’s failed presidential effort in 2008, served as communications director for Lamar Alexander’s failed presidential primary bid in 1999, directed communications for Matt Fong’s failed California Senate race in 1998, and that same year headed up Tim Leslie’s failed attempt to become Lt. Governor of California. In 1995, Schmidt managed the failed campaign of Will Scott for Kentucky attorney general.

In the mid-2000s, Schmidt worked for then-Vice President Dick Cheney and later for President Bush’s election effort with Karl Rove. Schmidt directed White House strategy for the SCOTUS nominations of Samual Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts. He left the Bush White House in 2006 to direct Arnold Schwarzenegger’s re-election as Governor of California.

...

Schmidt lobbied for a senior position in Trump’s 2016 campaign but “failed to get the gig because Trump thought he was a ‘total idiot’.”

He should take Rick Wilson, Bill Kristol, and Jennifer Rubin with him for starters.

That’s why Trump is dragging this out to the bitter end.
finding all the swamp creatures as they begin their victory dance. I still have high hopes for the final dance.

He has always been a Democrat, even when he was running McCain’s psuedo-campaign.

Bush League Republican = Democrat in an R jersey

Exactly. A lot of us have speculated over the years that Democrats purposely infiltrated the GOP to wreck it from within. Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson and their bud Nicole Wallace are all part of that group. It’s now time for them go “home” after mission accomplished!

The logic it would take to pull that off, is beneath me.

That is a record to brag about???

Like the surfer who falls off his board all day, every day and finally catches one wave in his life?

He was a nobody, a failure and certainly an example of bad judgement evidenced by the people he associated with or worked for...until he caught the Bush wave.

And we care what he has to say?

That is a reflection on our judgment.

He has long been in the ranks of the AntAms (Anti-Americans, known as Leftists, Democrats, and RINO’s for a long time)

Personally, I don’t believe there exists a Hell vile enough to do that scumbag justice to reside in for eternity, but he’ll get to one, no doubt.

Steve Schmidt is a Democrat “Ace!”

He has failed five times to elect Republicans!

I hope the doorknob hit him on his ass on his way out!
