Steve Schmidt, the former adviser and strategist on former Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) 2008 presidential campaign, blasted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday night, saying he has become "corrupted by ambition."

Schmidt, a frequent critic of President Trump, publicly denounced the Republican Party in June and said he will begin voting for Democrats.

His broadside against Graham came a day after the senator ripped into Democrats for their handling of the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.

"He's corrupted by ambition, corrupted by politics," Schmidt told MSNBC's Brian Williams in an interview. "And it's tragic because this country could use a statesman right now and Lindsey Graham, for a long time, was on a path that he would be that person. That he

“LOL - Graham hasn’t changed, Steve Schmidt - you have - to keep getting checks from MSNBC. Changed your party affiliation, your views on all of the issues, etc. That’s being corrupted by ambition by very definition.”

And we are all sure you’ll have a good time / enjoy..living with the DEMS principles..which are zip/nada/none etc etc etc

Is it wrong for me to wish this mutt Steve Schmidt would just do us all a favor and throw himself into a volcano?

Steve...

If your old boss had this much ambition and he listened to Sarah Palin, you might be finishing up your memoirs of your 8 yrs in the McCain Administration.

Instead, I see this as Lindsey possibly showing his metal in case Mitch decides to retire. He'd might make a good SML or a replacement for Jeff Sessions.

Either way we win and I still can't believe I am singing the praises of Senator Graham, but he is doing some winning things here, and sadly, you are still a looser...

Well, he was until he got in bed with Trump. Can’t forget that they are stuck with all those guacamole bowls, you know.

And BTW, the reason Schmidt left the Republican party is because no Rebublicsn would hire him ever again.

Good friggin’ riddance.

“... adviser and strategist on former Sen. John McCain... “

That makes the guy McCain’s political officer ensuring his (McCain’s) loyalty to the democrats, right?

It’s hard to believe in retrospect how sorry our 2008 and 2012 candidates were. They and their top advisers are all basically known to be either extreme cowards or outright traitors at this point.

“said he will begin voting for Democrats”

That’s a hoot. He was an infiltrator/saboteur and always voted for the Dimwits.

According to his Wikipedia page, Steve Schmidt attended the University of Delaware for five years but didn't graduate because he was unable to pass a math class.

Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States because Americans got tired of having our political campaigns run by retarded @ssholes like this.

He always has been a leftist and came out of the closet in June.
