Schmidt: 40 Precent of Americans Have ‘Surrendered Their Intellectual Sovereignty’ to Trump

Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” campaign strategist for former President George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) Steve Schmidt said, “40 percent of the country has surrendered their intellectual sovereignty to Donald Trump.”

Schmidt said, “He’s pursuing the only strategy he can pursue, which is try to incite his base. As he incites that base, that base gets smaller, and the majority grows in opposition to Trump, but the smaller base is a harder more intense one. If you go back to inauguration day, Trump has less support today than he did then. His base is smaller. The Republican party is smaller. But it is more faithful and more intense in its loyalty to Trump. Forty percent of the country has surrendered their intellectual sovereignty to Donald Trump.”

He added, “There is for them no such thing as objective truth anymore. What is true is what the leader says is true, what the leader believes is true. Trump has exercised that power and 40 percent of the country has submitted themselves to it. It’s extraordinary and frightening to see, but thank goodness not a majority of the country. In fact, it’s not even close to being a majority of the country.”

Joe Six Pack is SO on board the Trump Train, and he's not even trying to be deep, just real.

THAT is the manifestation of a guy you could have a beer with (if he drank) being in charge and having powerful people agree with him.

The Denocrat party is dead, (as I predicted in November 2016), and America is now struggling with the unification of her people.

In 1776, we read that only about a third of the population understood clearly and agreed with revolution.

Today, with the internet especially, more factual knowledge can be transmitted to more people in their underwear that will mobilize and not only support President Trump, but will network their thoughts and opinions to their family, friends and neighbors.

There are still some TV and video outlets that also transmit true information.

Couple all of that with what appears to be a slow returning to religious practice and The USA IS becoming great again.

I used to like George W. Bush. Now, I can’t stand him or any of his other swamp dwelling cretins.

[hinckley buzzard]

Schmidt is inconsequential. Just a trusted member of the MSNBC circle jerk. Pay him no mind, read only for entertainment value.

[Nifster]

McShamey’s hit man who has no integrity whatsoever. There is no lie outrageous enough that he wouldn’t say or publish

[Sam_Damon]

Substitute the word “Obama” for “Trump” and the statement might prove correct.

” So at this point, he could bomb Manhattan and I’d think, “Well... you know, he had his reasons.”

I feel the same, except for me it wouldn’t take a reason, do it for the hell of it.

“This d!ck is probably right about one thing: The Republican Party is probably smaller today than it was two years ago. I’m sure there are plenty of people like me who will never be registered Republicans as long as the GOP has @ssholes like Steve Schmidt as their advisors and TV spokesmen.”

Great point. You win the thread.

[getitright]

I’d say the single short answer for why Trump is president is variations of this;

People who are not racist are tired of being called racist.

And his opponents seem to be saying “Trump is a bad president because I hate him.”

[Mr. K]

I guess he means unlike the sheeple following the democrats and their media propagandists.

There is for them no such thing as objective truth anymore. What is true is what the leader says is true, what the leader believes is true.

That is postmodernism and social metaphysics. Postmodernism is one of the foundational worldviews and social metaphysics is the main metaphysics and epistemology of leftardism.

[Old Yeller]

So that means the other 60% surrendered theirs to Mika and Joe.

[rlmorel]

To be able to surrender anything intellectual, one must possess it first.

Leftists, on the other hand, can't surrender what they don't have. So this is the only option for the Left (including the Scumbag Schmidt) in a nutshell:

[stockpirate]

Current poll has Trump at 50%, not 40%.

The deep state is getting desperate

[elpadre]

I will surrender a lot to Donald Trump as long as he keeps making America great again. But he reverses his course of action, I’ll be the first going after the jugular.

[elpadre]

I will surrender a lot to Donald Trump as long as he keeps making America great again. But IF he reverses his course of action, I’ll be the first going after the jugular. (SS - just a figure of speech)

[Savage Beast]

Poor Schmidt! He's got it exactly backwards.

The Trump Revolution is supported by people who THINK FOR THEMSELVES, despite an unprecedented barrage of propaganda, endlessly, ubiquitously, and viciously blasted forth by the CORRUPT RULING ESTABLISHMENT!

It is those who oppose the Trump Revolution who are either part of the evil CORRUPT RULING ESTABLISHMENT or the sheep who follow them.

Trump supporters see them for what they are and think for themselves!

MAGA!

[faucetman]

Steve Schit!

[poconopundit]

Steve Schmidt is an absolute dunce. He looks like a dunce, he talks like a dunce, he is a dunce.

Yes, and he’s also a tool of the Bush Crime Family, the Neo-Cons, and Never Trumpers. Did you hear that, guac bowl ¡¿Jeb?!
