2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumQuestion? Does anyone know what happened to MSNBC's Steve Schmidt?
Steve Schmidt was the GOP head guy for the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008. He was featured prominently in the HBO movie "Game Change."
He was on MSNBC quite frequently as an analyst, including playing an important role in their election night coverage.
But I haven't seen him on air in months. Is he still with the network? Did he take leave?

Wow... you guys are better than doing a google search!
