Steve Schmidt: If Trump could send out secret police to arrest his enemies, he'd do it.

[highplainsdem]

Said on MSNBC just now.

1. Better yet, shoot.

[Iliyah]

2. Yep.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I have no doubt of that.

He's wanted to have Hillary "locked up" for a couple of years now and would have done it if he could.

7. He's really another Hitler type but fortunately under better control, at least for now. He's

dangerous as hell to the US and the world. I'm amazed at how the GOP does not give a damn about the US or the rest of the world, the party of traitors.

[Pachamama]

14. +1000

I agree...

[nini]

4. that and we'd have more people showing up dead from 'accidents'

Will this nightmare ever end?

[RKP5637]

5. Yep, just like his authoritarian idols. n/t

[Awsi Dooger]

6. Schmidt was in rare form even by his standards

On Lawrence O'Donnell tonight.

Emphasized that the 2020 election will be the most pivotal since 1864 ("Would we continue to be a country or not?) because we'll either go down a path of inexorable decline, or an era of renewal following Donald Trump.

"There is a real lack of imagination in the country's mind about the damage that a president as incompetent, reckless and ignorant as this one can cause in the world."

[RKP5637]

9. Many americans are damn clueless and naive. They just don't get it. n/t

[Grasswire2]

10. oh I hope there is a video clip of that

If you find one, please post it.

[Awsi Dooger]

13. I'm sure someone will post it

There was much more than that. I quickly typed as much as I could remember, just after Schmidt said it.

He said Trump was intentionally divisive and called him a vile president. Schmidt said he appreciated Brennan's optimism but that Americans were being pitted against Americans and there was no guarantee everything was going to be okay.

The segment was relatively early in the program...first 15 or 20 minutes.

15. Here is a YouTube video of the entire episode

The Steve Schmidt segment begins slightly beyond 11:00 and extends until 19:00

17. Thanks!

8. No doubt about it.

[dalton99a]

11. Don't forget Trump called for the execution of five innocent black men after the

real killer confessed to the crime and his DNA matched up.

He is a bloodthirsty sadistic monster

[democratisphere]

12. Za drumpfian SS (stupid sh'ts)

I no longer wonder how psychopaths become dictators and come into power.

[Hekate]

16. Without a single doubt

That is all...

[Solly Mack]

18. I'm sure Trump has already considered it and if the GOP in Congress would let him get away with it.
