  1. I ❤️ you, Steve. You’re one of the few I actually learn something from. Thank you for the civic masterclass all these months.

    1. Thanks to everyone who voted for Biden and Harris, your vote helped saved our beautiful country. You guys Rock!!!!

    1. Schmidt and the Lincoln Project are a joke and completely ineffective.
      They should shut up and do something useful like starting a new Conservative party without the racists and conspiracy theorists.
      Within two election cycles the Republican party will be gone for good.

    2. @Sean Patrick I consider the Lincoln Project the true party. It is the rest of the Repubs that have lost their way. I am or was a Republican but I no longer recognize what the party has become. I know the difference between right and wrong. And I have backbone to stand up against a POS like Donald Trump.

    3. @April Harris
      Good for you! I’m an independent who has supported candidates from both sides in the past. That said, Republican hypocrisy is off the scales at this point and the brand is beyond repair. I will never again vote for anyone related to a party that enabled the Mob-Boss-in-Chief to do so much damage to the country and to democracy itself.
      The Lincoln Project’s videos are entertaining, but proven to be ineffective. A waste of money that would be better spent on getting a fresh start in Conservatism by forging a new party.

    1. @Karasene 13
      They’re talking about Kushner and the other incompetents in the WH seeing what was happening in the NE and figured the pandemic wouldn’t touch the backwoods areas of the red states so crucial for the re-election campaign, as if viruses are aware of human beings’ voting tendencies.
      That’s how screwed up those people are, and why Feb. 9th should be the beginning of the end of DJT and all those who subscribe to his brand of sedition.

    2. Kushner was going to publicize a policy but didn’t when he heard it would help blue states. He isn’t just incompetent; he’s evil.

    3. No one believes BIDEN won anything… If you didn’t silence so many people BEFORE THE ELECTION there wouldn’t be this doubt right now…. And blue states are looking to profit ….. YOU MUST BE REALLY STUPID TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE. Or maybe you didn’t notice the MASS EXODUS of people from the areas controlled by democrats?

    4. @Carla Robbins I live in NY…. there is limited access here too…. DON’T LET THIS CHANNEL FOOL YOU…. You often have to wait days to be seen.

    1. @Buckeye Girl Good for you crack is bad news.
      Maybe they’ll have something like that for the trump cult too.

    1. @Jackie D Wait and see how President Biden, Vice President Harris, Senate Majority Leader Schumer, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi handle their power when working with the remaining Trump Republicans. Americans stood in line for hours during a Pandemic to vote on November 3, 2020, electing President Biden to be the 46th President of the United States. The Democrats control all three branches of government, (because of Voters in Georgia), they must be STRONG for America. IMO.

    2. @Jackie D Sorry, I didn’t answer your question directly. IMO, there may be both Democrats and Progressives who would vote for Republicans, if the leaders and members mirrored The Lincoln Project.

    3. @Jackie D No dem would vote for a Republican of any stripe. Love Steve but we don’t want or need republicans pretending to be dems. No thanks👀

  2. Operative words here are “Evil, incompetent, no business in gov’t/no business in charge of anything/Son in-law Jared Kushner and Donald tRump.”

    1. Jared and his odious wife don’t care they know they won’t be held accountable for their evil actions, people like them float through life leaving a path of destruction and
      misery behind them

    1. The guy who came up with weapons of mass destruction is now a folk hero for the left. Red meat at its finest.

  3. How can you have a Senate trial, when there are a lot of the Senators accomplices of Trump? That’s why they want to move on.

  4. LOVE #SteveSchmidt … he tells it like it is … one of the best decisions of my life was becoming an early supporter of #TheLincolnProject & #LPTV …

  5. I feel like he’s forgetting about Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. I think that might be a more apt comparison between Trump and Biden although I do understand the Lincoln/Buchanan side of things. Kind of a mix of both.

  6. Steve Schmidt: bold and brilliant. He put into cohesive thought suspicions we’ve all sensed in the recesses of our collective brains.
