Steve Schmidt On Why Many Republican Voters Are Splitting From Trump | Deadline | MSNBC

90 comments

  1. Reagan’s words have run thru my head several times over the past three years. The shining city on the hill. the big tent, and the face of God speech especially. And I’m not even Republican.
    Reagan, Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Lincoln, so many other Republican Presidents are kicking the inside of their coffins over Trump’s behavior. The man is a human butt plug.

    1. @Mikka Linka And yet, just out of office, his cult began politicking to spread the Reagan name to buildings and infrastructure all around the country. These conservatives are insane. They deify the vilest of vermin. Are we to see Trump’s name on some bridge in Loonytown?

    2. @Jeff Karas Thank God tRump can’t even finish a sentence. I don’t know about t. Carlson….intelligence may be from a flash drive stuck in the back of his neck. Man, you DON’T mess w/ T. Duckworth! He’s part of the Swanson frozen dinner empire & only had to worry about tying that bowtie.

    3. @Jeff Karas I know exactly who Reagan was, lol, I was around before he was president. I’m fondly remembering his words, not all of his deeds.

    4. The first time I registered to vote I voted for Reagan, Trump is a disaster that the Republican Party s going to take a long time to recover from.

  2. A dollar short and a day late! When it suits THEM they act! Don’t be fooled by their sudden WOKENESS !
    Vote every single one OUT!

  3. Why does (decades old) Reagan speech bring a tear and sadness listening to it in 2020? USA needs Biden to correct this current US aberration.

    1. @christian – trump has let black Americans rot in this pandemic in terms of exposure & in the economic fallout. stop being dumb.

    2. Nobody’s Splitting From TRUMP, Moron’s. Trying Your Democratic Crap. TRUMP PENCE 2020! PENCE TRUMP 2024/2028

    3. @Finders Keepers Losers Weepers – Trump lost the House to Pelosi 2 years ago. Trump will lose to Biden this year.

    4. Kinda odd
      .. Democrats called Reagan everything but a child of god when he was president. He was hated by them.

    1. @eurekajim #VoteBlue2020 That will happen as soon as he’s out of office…that’s why he’s fighting the release of his taxes. He knows his butt is cooked.

    2. Nobody’s Splitting From TRUMP, Moron’s. Trying Your Democratic Crap. TRUMP PENCE 2020! PENCE TRUMP 2024/2028

    1. Have you read the short book “The Present” yet? It’s available free here. Just go to the website: globaltruthproject.com- click on the entry called “The Present.” What it says will turn this world around if it reaches enough people. You will see what I mean when you read the first page.

      “It’s not China”

      The SARS-nCOV-19 virus has been linked to wild bats, originating in the Wuhan province in China.
      Biologist have been reporting this for years. We need limited trade relations with counties (see China) that allow their population to eat uncooked wild monkey, rats, bats and exotic birds. These all carry flu viruses that have infected us for decades.

      “Obama was competent and proactive on the H1N1 pandemic in 2009.”

      There were three epidemics during Obama’s tenure.

      2009 – H1N1 Swine flu (pandemic)
      2012 – MERS-cov (coronavirus strain)
      2014 – Ebola

      How many died from Swine Flu Pandemic in 2009?
      203,000 +

      How many Americans died?
      12,500 – 30,000 +

      The swine-flu pandemic of 2009 may have killed up to 203,000 people worldwide—10 times higher than the first estimates based on the number of cases confirmed by lab tests, according to a new analysis by an international group of scientists. Nov 26, 2013

  4. Billionaires and Backwoods Hillbillies are his fan base. He wouldn’t spit on hillbillies if they were on fire.

    1. @John DiGiacomo Nice, I love it when I feel the need to respond and someone already covered it. Cheers.

    2. Exactly!! He panders to the lowest common denominators and they just eat it up with a big serving spoon.

    3. @John DiGiacomo – Exactly. He would have his base arrested if they were anywhere near one of his resorts. Trump doesn’t want 4 more years of the presidency….he wants 4 more years of immunity from the SDNY. His base is being played for votes, and that’s it.

    4. @christopher weise You’re right. But I think the low attendance at the Tulsa rally might indicate that some of Trump’s followers have realized how little regard he has for them. He invited them to fill a 19,000 seat convention center, with masks optional. His campaign aides were recorded on video removing stickers from seats that would have encouraged social distancing. And when Trump gave his speech, he said nothing about the fact that large numbers of people were sitting close together and many rows of seats were entirely empty. He could have asked people to spread out. He is willing to put the lives of his followers at risk rather than admit that he hasn’t solved the coronavirus problem.

    1. Yes, from a traitor with Iran to a traitor with Russia. The republiKKKans don’t really learn much over the decades, do they?

    2. @Jon Dunmore and GOPigs act like it’s a big mystery that every country in S. America is screwed up. Amazin.

  5. They see the writing on the wall with every deranged speech he gives at his rallies and every tweet. So happy NY can go after his tax records, sucks Congress can’t

    1. Nobody’s Splitting From TRUMP, Moron’s. Trying Your Democratic Crap. TRUMP PENCE 2020!

    2. The records will not be revealed before the election and before he leaves office Trump will Pardon himself of all crimes.

    3. I’ve seen a little rumbling that the banking orgs involved are ready to send documents as soon as they are subpoenaed. It’s feasible we could see them before Nov. Or at least have lots of juicy bits for TLP to run with. Have hope… and VOTE!

  6. We need “A UNIFY” Right now.Thank you Steve Schmidt, Mr. Steel and ……..MSNBC, Let ‘s support Joe Biden. Is not about POLITICAL PARTIES BUT ABOUT AMERICAN PEOPLE. We need A LEADER WHO WILL BRING US TOGETHER AGAIN.

  7. I wish Steve Schmidt would stop beating around the bush and just say what he REALLY thinks.

    1. @Jeffrey Photonboy Presidential advise is to grab a hand full of baloney and skip the formal introductions.,

    2. Nobody’s Splitting From TRUMP, Moron’s. Trying Your Democratic Crap. TRUMP PENCE 2020! PENCE TRUMP 2024/2028

    3. … losers Weepers
      Who’s Democratic crap did you try ? Seems a bit odd thing to eat during a pandemic ? You should set a better example.

    1. @Mike Marshall Let’s all pray that the Republicans that supported Trump suddenly develop intelligence….. I Never give up on anyone no matter how stupid they seem.

    2. @Varekai Ascendant that holds some validity,like I get trump making the rich, well richer. buuuuuttt my question why is Cali the number 1 state with homeless problems followed by several democratic states vs. some republican states like texas?? it’s a problem every where, but why is it worse in those states? Same with drugs I think??

    3. @Gaye Englund Yes, Both Parties are responsible, but you have to admit that racial injustice, racial inequality, bigotry and intolerance has skyrocketed under the Trump racist regime, and has set back all the headway that Barack Obama created.

    4. @Jush Clerk Do some research into Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell.
      In particular McConnell. He’s probably the richest person in the state, and Kentucky is the Poorest. Why is that? Because he’s pocketing the State funds with his Spy wife Elaine Chow. Each State has a unique problem, it’s virtually impossible to narrow it down to one particular issue.

    5. @justsaying Agreed, Trump himself announced that he ”loves the poorly educated’ and ”there is no better word than stupid” He said this as he stood on stage at one of his ”praise ME” rally’s as he looked right at the audience.

  8. Steve Schmidt is a voice I can trust. I have not always agreed with him but I do know he is a man of integrity.

    1. @Elaine B Holtz What I’m telling you is that he is a lifelong Conservative (Republican) political campaign guy that has been using the same tactics he’s using now against Dems for more than 2 decades.

       I’m talking about the ads, not him talking here. The kind of brutal attack ads that TLP, & CVAT run against tRump and Republicans have been aimed at Dems for years. It’s what he does. It’s his business and he’s good at it. He’s an “attack dog” Republicans, until now, pay him to attack Dems.

       When I talk about the trust I just mean that he’s going to go right back to doing his thing against Dems. He’s not some liberal convert; he just hates tRump and tRumpism.

    1. IN YOUR DREAMS.
      THERES NEVER GOING TO BE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT TO RUN THE WHITEHOUSE EVER AGAIIN.
      THE SATANIC CULT OF DEMONRAT PARTY IS DEAD.

    2. He can just wash off the orange make-up and remove the toupee. His identity will be safe unless he starts speaking.

  9. Im not even gonna be satisfied for Trump to just leave the WH I want him to go to jail or exiled to Russia.

    1. If trump Loses he will be pardon for what ever he did or just go away , nobody is gonna lock up a former president you instigating civil war if you do. Plus isn’t your message unity lol 😂 but you want to lock up the other side.

    2. Not exiled! No. Please. As “president” he now know way too much about the US securities, defense, etc.

    3. @Leo M Nobody is going to send him to jail for being a stupid president hes going to jail for tax evasion in SDNY remember he ask Barr to fire the guy whos incharge to indict him after his term?

    4. Tyson Mars lmao that will never happen get off that high horse just like you all said he will never finish his first term and mueller time. You guys are dumb blind by hate fools.

  10. At the end of the day, let’s see how the electoral college actually votes. Will they represent the people or themselves?!

    1. Well..SCOTUS told them to represent the people. If they don’t…that will be some epic court time.

    1. The republicans are acting far too late. This shows they are selfish, they act now because they realise that everyone see this administration as dumpster fire. We knew it was dumpster fire years ago, but the stupid tax breaks suckered their selfish world inlook

    2. North Carolina should know that Thom Tillis is a KKK sympathizer & vote CAL CUNNINGHAM (D) (lawyer) for NC-Senate 2020!

  11. Too bad his lackeys didn’t follow through on the impeachment. Could’ve saved us a lot of hardship.

  12. I’ll bet many a Republican is thinking, “We should have impeached Trump when we had the chance”… Perhaps they could have changed the COVID crisis curve had we had a competent leader in the White House in January… Biden has a plan to confront the pandemic head on, no delusions, no lies, just #HonestJoe

    1. @3D Possible lmao he didn’t save the economy???he had some kinda alright plans, but he also sold out to China, we were getting slammed by the trade war -_- and yea were in debt but that is more of Covid, he was kinda pulling us outta debt till that hit. And even then what would the other end have done differently in that situation?? Try to cover it up for China??? explained at least why they wanted the CDC to be funded and prepared -_-

    2. Name 3 things that Trump has done to make America a better place in 4 years… I’m really searching for something to put on his resume for his new job he’s going to need in November…
