'“I just don’t want to be forced into doing something,” said Schorsch, who is also a part-time political consultant. “This is turning into a social phenomenon and I had to put an end to it.”'

Why did he have to "put an end to it"? What's wrong with a social phenomenon that's just a nice thing to do?

Hes been involved in all kinds of campaign and election shenanigans, sometimes illegal.

But he marches to his own beat... has a long-running feud with GOP apparatchiks.

He may have been an asshole to stop the Starbucks fun, but I'm not willing to sell him out. He's an excellent writer, and a valuable asset for our agenda. Just because he does something stupid doesn't mean we have to fire him and throw him to the other side.

The guy knows his political shit, but hes a loose cannon and train wreck waiting to happen. Hes pretty toxic around TB area.
