Former McCain Strategist Announces He’s Leaving The Republican Party

Talk about grandstanding.

Former McCain strategist and MSNBC pundit Steve Schmidt is leaving the Republican Party. Funny. I didn’t even realize he was here in the first place.

Get a load of this sad attempt at virtue-signaling.

29 years and nine months ago I registered to vote and became a member of The Republican Party which was founded in 1854 to oppose slavery and stand for the dignity of human life. Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the party of Trump.

Oh, the moral outrage!

It is corrupt, indecent and immoral. With the exception of a few Governors like Baker, Hogan and Kasich it is filled with feckless cowards who disgrace and dishonor the legacies of the party’s greatest leaders. This child separation policy is connected to the worst abuses of

What’s with everyone using the word “feckless” these days? It’s like they all decided it was cool (’cause Samantha Bee said it, you know), and now they can’t stop.

Humanity in our history. It is connected by the same evil that separated families during slavery and dislocated tribes and broke up Native American families. It is immoral and must be repudiated. Our country is in trouble. Our politics are badly broken. The first step to a

Season of renewal in our land is the absolute and utter repudiation of Trump and his vile enablers in the 2018 election by electing Democratic majorities. I do not say this as an advocate of a progressive agenda. I say it as someone who retains belief in DEMOCRACY and decency.

What true former Republican would call for everyone to elect Democratic majorities?

On Ronald Reagan’s grave are these words. “ I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.” He would be ashamed of McConnell and Ryan and all the rest while this corrupt government

Establishes internment camps for babies. Everyone of these complicit leaders will carry this shame through history. There legacies will be ones of well earned ignominy. They have disgraced their country and brought dishonor to the Party of Lincoln.

“…internment camps for babies.” Are you serious?

I have spent much of my life working in GOP politics. I have always believed that both parties were two of the most important institutions to the advancement of human freedom and dignity in the history of the world. Today the GOP has become a danger to our democracy and values.

This Independent voter will be aligned with the only party left in America that stands for what is right and decent and remains fidelitous to our Republic, objective truth, the rule of law and our Allies. That party is the Democratic Party.

I don’t care how much experience you have. You sir, are a moron.

I’m just going to leave this here.

Well, whaddya know — Flake & McCain introduced a resolution in 2015 supporting “a zero-tolerance approach, including criminally prosecuting illegal border crossers” https://t.co/7AbTPkUggg They didn’t mention a special exemption for anyone with a kid in tow.

And this, because it sums up what eeeeeeevil Ted Cruz is introducing.

Let’s be honest. Steve just said all that because he wants talking heads on the left to pat him on the back. That’s all there is to it.
