epublican strategist Steve Schmidt on Wednesday presented an interesting opportunity for GOPers who’ve recently stood up to say they can no longer support Donald Trump, suggesting the likes of Sens. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) can form a coalition with Democrats to take on the president’s creeping authoritarianism.
Schmidt explained that in actuality, Trump is losing support, and his base has actually gotten smaller.
“So the Republican party, such as it is—a group of nut cases screaming out to hang John McCain at their convention—they are loud, boisterous, obnoxious, mean, but they can’t project any political party,” Schmidt explained.
Specifically referencing Corker and Flake, who’ve both levied historic criticism as Trump over the past few weeks, Schmidt explained what they’re “saying with some level of directness, is that Donald Trump is unfit to be the president of the United States. He is unsteady. He is unworthy. He is not trustworthy with the nuclear codes.”
Those senators, along with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)—another ardent critic of the president—“can broker a deal that allows for conservative judges to move forward, but they can put subpoena power into the hands of people who are actually interested in doing oversight over this administration,” Schmidt said.

The Rs who are dissatisfied with Dotard can end him quick. It beggars logic that they are so intimidated by a small constituent.
