chillfactor
(7,584 posts)since the orange turd was elected. Some of you say he is a Republican that can't be trusted. Do you ever listen to cable news and all of the Republicans who have left the party and are knocking the turd every day? Too bad the Republicans in Congress do not have the same backbone that Schmidt and the others have shown.
OliverQ
(3,363 posts)Howard Schultz (former Starbucks CEO who tried to run a terrible Presidential campaign and absolutely nobody supported him.) Schmidt couldn't work for MSNBC while he was doing that.

From his Wiki page:
On June 19, 2018, Schmidt formally withdrew from the GOP over Donald Trump's policy of separating immigrant families at the U.S. border with Mexico. He also cited Republican leadership for their failure to challenge the policy. Schmidt said of Trump, "We have in Americaright now, at this hourto understand that you have a lawless president, a vile president, a corrupt president, a mean, cruel president, who is seeking to remake the world order."[31]
He tweeted "the Republican Party ... is fully the party of Trump. 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 ... Today the GOP has become a danger to our democracy and our values."[32]
Describing his new political orientation, he stated:
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.[33]

(4,066 posts)He was one of the head henchmen in McCain's campaign to beat Obama. He is one of the reasons why Sara Palin was popular (this is actually funny, since it ensured McCain lost)
HE IS NOT A FRIEND OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!!!
Just because he does not like Trump does not make him an ally or a friend. As soon as Trump is gone, he'll be back pushing core GOP policy.
NONE of the "Never Trumpers" is a friend or ally. They have only one goal in common with us. Getting rid of Trump. When that goal is achieved, they'll be back to fighting us on healthcare, women's right to choose, and climate change.

(32,793 posts)When pressed, he angrily took his mic off and walked off. He was very red faced and almost shouting. I will never trust anything he says again.
He gave us Sarah palin, came around and then did this...nope Nadia never again. Hes proven himself to me, he will turn again!!

(47,534 posts)Caught a glance of him with Chris Hayes.
I know that many here liked him, rather, liked his winning comments.
Hope to see more of him.
