Schmidt: 40 Precent of Americans Have ‘Surrendered Their Intellectual Sovereignty’ to Trump
brietbart ^ | 08/16/2018 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/17/2018 5:15:43 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

That is why President Trump’s approval rating among black voters is up to 36%.

I really get tired of the left-wing’s sense of superiority and self-importance.

How many checks from Fusion GPS has Schmidt cashed? We know he’s tied to McCain and McCain is tied to the fake dossier.

Trump soundly defeated the chosen one last time. She had the DNC, the media and a big chunk of the RNC behind her.

Imagine what he can do next time.

This meme that the “President is stupid” and, therefore, so are all his supporters is nothing more than a repeat of the media’s assault on the Reagan presidency. Being told I am stupid by intellectually inferior people really grows old after a while.

50% outright approval. Why should I listen to someone so bad at math?

You’re nuts! Trump is at 50% approval! Trump believes what that half or more of the country believes, that America belongs to Americans. ENOUGH of us being the piggy bank of the world. Only the Commie-OneWorlders want us submissive and obedient to their rule. Trump is GAINING support, not losing it. The increase in black and hispanic support is PROOF of his growing support. It’s the ECONOMY stupid! Take your lies elsewhere.

His comments are wrong on so many levels that it’s a waste of time to even read them. Trump’s approval numbers are up 15 points from their lows but his base is shrinking (?). Don’t these people ever actually listen to themselves to hear how idiotic they sound? It’s intellectually challenging for them to have a coherent thought.

I keep hearing from these IDIOTS at MSNBC that TRUMP is only catering to his 26% of his base blah blah blah

These IDIOTS are soooo giddy! TRUMP is at 50% with most polls having him at 46% to 48%

That is NOT 26%!!! Plus Larry Sabato says to give TRUMP an extra 10% to his polling

It means they hate each & every one of us who voted Pres. Trump into office but they have not yet figured out how to put teeth in their belief and cause us real harm.

Remember, they praise Antifa violence as righteous.

I haven’t done anything Trump wants; he’s done what I want. If that’s “incitement,” give me some more of it.

Like most Trump haters this guy is more obsessed with what Trump says and how he says it while ignoring what Trump is ACCOMPLISHING.

Now would be a great time for someone to go around and ask lefties why they hate Trump. From what I gather, these morons hate Trump because he said he “could” have grabbed a woman by the p*ssy and also something about “could” have shot someone in broad daylight and still would be popular.

Aside from that, the only thing Trump can be accused of is being blunt with the truth and accomplishing more in his first year than Obama did in 8.

The left projects a lot. They see their leaders (more like rulers) as godlike, so they assume the right is the same. We’re not. Though we support Trump, we understand that he is a man and he has four years, maybe 8, to turn this country around. And so far we support what he’s doing and, for the most part, his methodology. But if he goes off the reservation in the wrong way, we’ll be the first to call him on it.

Does anyone remember when Freerepublic members loved Carl Rove?
