On the 2020 presidential election, Steve Schmidt says, “This man must be defeated if there’s to be any chance to come out of this. Otherwise, the country will be in an irreversible decline … We won’t be the preeminent country anymore.

Steve Schmidt: Trump Must Be Defeated Or U.S. 'Will Be In An Irreversible Decline' | MSNBC
We are walled in America and can not get out. Speak the truth Steve.
The fall from grace and glory has arrived.
Trump is the best president to have ruled this great nation
7 16 20 Hey@Buchi Chu, The USA is working on it; patience, Nov. 3, 2020. If the citizens get out & #VOTE2020, watch interference from the state actors, watch tthe voter suppression issues, there may be hope. Stay safe, keep calm, & be well. v
@Shaun Ruffin Yes, Babalyon the great harlot should have the anti-christ rule over or should we call America Sodom and Gomarrah. You take your pick. No one cares at this point 🎤🤣🤣
lol, he is speaking MSDNC propaganda. he has literally been wrong on everything the lat 3 years
@nick smith Oh yeah, that was when he was a right wing fiscal conservative Republican right . 😄😄😄
It used to be that the whole world wanted to come to America until the Orange Thingy stole the country with the help of Putin.
@Bladerunner 1986 Keep Your Passport Within Reach. Many More Americans now Know what happened in 2016 and have Awakened Out Of their Darkness on both sides.
Exactly! Well said!
it wasnt putjn u doltz
@Bobby Nelson The human trash here is you.
Mark Twaing- Do you know why they call the President Orange Man? the knowledge has been hidden but I will tell you because of the Planet Arcturus. It is a Huge Orange Planet Greek for “Bear Keeper” or “Guardian of the Bear”
Joe Biden released over 25 years of tax returns. Where are Trump’s?
nemonucliosis Hey, he’s the one that said he would release them. Then he fights tooth and nail to conceal them. Ahh, the mysteries of life.
@Rudy Penza not too cleaver, more like stupid hahaha
@Timothy Kozlowski WRONG every President has to show his tax returns
Their all fixed Bieden tax returns you are you trying to kid?
@Chris Dee You have no insight Biden is a Slug.
It’s shocking to me that 35% of the population are clinging to Donald Trump. Then he encourages them to show up at a rally with no masks, which is tantamount to murder. What’s wrong with this country?😬
@lilly pad Its a matter of opinion.
To me. Our ability to truly move closer to the idea of our experiment in democracy. Acceptance and understanding across all socioeconomic spectrums as well as progressive policies on both sides of the political fence.
Now we have more division. More death. More poverty, fear and uncertainty about the direction of our country.
It’s actually 50%, 15% didn’t feel like being doxxed and fired from work when the pollsters called.
@Fredrick Smith-something. But why do you think this was an experiment. The Founding Father’s knew by divine knowledge that their was a way that brought freedom and democracy to a land and a people.. Our Country needs to go in one direction that leads to Peace and Abundance. It would be like if their was only 1 direction that lead to your house and 20 people you invited to come over 19 of them thought they found a better or shorter way to go never arrived, but the one who followed your direction is the only one that found there way to your house.
@Mike Bingham Oh yeah, like George Will. You are a very stable Genius — no surprise you support Trump. Very stable geniuses need to stick together against people like George Will, Conway, Schmidt, Joe Scarborough, Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater and other Obama-loving liberal hippies….
@Rich Southall What you said.
Make America great again, vote blue.
Vote, Vote, Vote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lUO9s9t4Vw
@Charles “Joe Biden’s $74 Trillion Deficit Economic Plan for America” Says a republicunt standing in the middle of the worst economic devastation in the last 6 decades or more.
@Andiamo 18 All signs point to a blue tsunami. We are tired of the orange drama.
@Andiamo 18 What is Chumps plan? He does not have one.
@Elizabeth Cameron Please do not believe the lies spread by the Dems and Fake News. President Trump is for freedoms, including freedom of speech. Please read about some of his many accomplishments at https://frankreport.com/2020/04/18/one-hundred-twenty-five-amazing-accomplishments-of-president-donald-j-trump/
Mary Trump pretty much nailed it.
Trump is essentially a 74 year old man who never matured mentally, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. It’s this lack of growth, cognitive capacity, and impulse control that has come to define him and his presidency. Plus he seems to possess every character flaw known to mankind. This is the crux of the problem when it comes to Trump’s total and complete failure as a leader and president. Trump’s problem is not so much that he refuses to do his job as president, Trump’s problem is that he’s not even capable of doing his job. He is not equipped to do his job. He doesn’t have the necessary tools or the wherewithal to do his job. He is grossly incapacitated intellectually, mentally, emotionally, socially, and psychologically. He couldn’t properly do his job as president even if he wanted to.
Amen to that. I totally agree.
Well put David J , this buffoon only wanted the presidency for his own ego.
@hhhh9579 Keep our 45 trumpvirus.
Yes, but you all *knew* that when you elected him.
I agree with msnbc, lets all sit in a circle and agree with msnbc, do you agree i’m virtuous? You’re all very virtuous.
Joe Biden 😎
Donald Trump 😡
The choice is clear. 😎🙂
TRUMP TRUMP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TRUMP<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
@Seths_ma Tougher than you think. A lot tougher. Trump is going to lose at least 40 states and then, he’s going to prison for the rest of his rotten life. Nothing you say or do can prevent this from happening. Enjoy the show in November, kid.
@Tater Solus Wait until the debates and you will see President Trump destroy Sleepy Joe and reveal Sleepy Joe as the doddering incompetent fool. Please stop believing the lies spread by the Dems and Fake News. Please read about President Trump’s many accomplishments at https://frankreport.com/2020/04/18/one-hundred-twenty-five-amazing-accomplishments-of-president-donald-j-trump/
#ByeDon2020🗳🌊💙🇺🇸
@Cornelius Gal I can guarantee you that’s not a proper scholarly source. You’ve been hitting the kool-aid way too much. What will you do when Trump loses the election in November?
It’s painful to hear Steve Schmidt describes the decline of the United States of America.
@David Hughes Of course Dolt 45 is pimping for a company that makes Chick Peas!
@Lynda Martinez You’re right about one thing. Schmidt foisted the Iquiotarod Quitbull Palin on McCain. Because he knew even then Repugs have to market themselves to lowest common denominator Morons.
Sad and painful, but it’s true.
@John Connolly It’s funny to me you think you know things… tell me one important thing you think you know???? please! Anything!
@WEB That seems like an odd request but, OK.
I know that humans cant survive for longer than a few days without water. For extra credit, I know that four quarters one (dollar is we are talking currency)
I know other stuff too so, if you want to pick a common subject, I can guarantee that I know something about it.
U.A. Gov’t arrogance & greed has come home to roost.
Cage your monsters.
@John Bentley john i literally know both sides of the issues in America. It’s very very very scary to talk to a person that literally lack compassion for a certain humans and the worst thing is they don’t have enough common sense to understand the underlying issues. It’s almost like talking to a 4 year-old about human rights. John …. Im sooooo tired and hurt… We need to wake up! But trust me as long as trump stay true to the hate he has for minorities in America he’s going to stay another 4 years.. The fear and hate is to deep it’s skin deep……
We’ll try
@John Matthews good point
@John Matthews no john im only talking about America.. Not the origin of slavery?.. but since we are on that subject how about start there in American history then move forward.. We owe every black person living in America our survival due to them working and building for free.. Then once freed they were denied basic human rights. Oh yeah the United States government against them also,drugs,denial of jobs,jim Crow,war on drugs,housing,ect just imagine if you could.. Just imagine living in that condition only because your a different color human…………….think…
@Kris will doo well, the ugly truth is not only whites owned slaves…. it may have been only a few blacks who did, but nevertheless it happened. And look into Irish American history. They were treated almost as bad. I understand you think only blacks worked in harsh conditions, but it just isn’t true…. white people who were held down by the wealthy were referred to as indentured servants…. they earned just enough to stay in debt….. basic slavery under another name
Are you Americans tired of winning yet?
@Cheryl64014 Every president in history got in because of the electoral college, you should educate yourself and read the constitution, the popular vote is meaningless. Thats why Trump ignored campaigning in New York and California and campaigned in the rust belt states. thsi strategy won him the election.
FOUR MORE YEARS DONKEY!
@Tom Vana lol no, there will not be. The people are fed up with him, and everything that he stands for. Whether you like it or not, you will be getting a new president come November.
@nick smith Technically true. What else is true is that only five people have won the Electoral College while losing the popular vote.
@nick smith yes. Because he’s experienced, respected and, unlike trump, he actually does know all the best people.
My wife got brainwashed with fake news and supporting Trump. I fought for years to bring her back to Earth, I know from experience the brainwashing runs deep and that’s why she don’t live here anymore. I will do anything for love but I won’t do that.
@Paula Baumann He started it by bad mouthing my country and my President.
@Joan Gordon You are wrong again. This is not your platform, and I don’t watch Fox News or believe in conspiracy theories. Please stop believing the lies spread by the Dems and Fake News. Please read about President Trumps many accomplishments at https://frankreport.com/2020/04/18/one-hundred-twenty-five-amazing-accomplishments-of-president-donald-j-trump President Trump will destroy Sleepy Joe in the debates, and he will do so much more for the American people in the next 4 years. Vote Trump 2020!
@Cornelius Gal they didn’t even add the water to your Kool-Aid.
@gayle mc I don’t drink Kool-Aid. You sound like a dirty Dem who drank too much wine. Please sober up and educate yourself by reading about President Trump’s accomplishments at https://frankreport.com/2020/04/18/one-hundred-twenty-five-amazing-accomplishments-of-president-donald-j-trump/ Then you may realize why he will be re-elected in 2020 and continue to provide good governance and prosperity for the next 4 years. Vote Trump 2020!
She don’t live there no more because she realized your TDS was too much to handle.
The world used to look to the US for leadership.. now we have France, Germany or China jostling to fill that vacuum.. I suppose Trump supporters are looking towards Russia
@nick smith STFU Mr. Smith,…hahaha
@Bob Nelson That’s me alright, Bob. Everything is tragic comedy. But I’m Irish, so what else can I be?
@Gwendolyn Albert “Why do you want a Marxist government?”
You are probably a little confused about what marxism means:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism
we are putin is our leader.

Signs in foreign countries”Americans must be accompanied by an adult”
Nobody respects a country ran by a Trump.
@#j G youre such a flaming jerk
Obama was the worst president ever. World leaders played him for such a fool.
Those signs are made by the same idiots destroying statues and other property. Trump 2020.
Most of those signs have been replaced with, “Americans are not welcome here”.
Except in Mexico where the signs read, “Thanks for the wall America!!”
@Jim Battersbee same group of losers.
Schmitt is simply speaking truth.
Go Schmitt!
Your friends the Canadians are rooting for you and praying for you ( we’re just not in a hurry to die for stupid.)
Cornelius Gal – hahhhhaahhhAaa – don’t forget that we also have a leader that crushed the curve.
Our people are not dying by the 100,000s.
Thank GOD.
Debra Smith
that is ok, dying slowly for your stupid seems worse.
@Debra Smith you’re reply would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad. Crushed the curve how? As I recall Easter would be the imaginary date the virus would be gone.
maria booboo67 – you are at almost 140,000 dead. You are #1!
Alex Hamilton – or not at all seems better.
“Americans must be accompanied by an adult.” That would be hilarious if the situation weren’t so dire.
Look, I lived in DC for a big chunk of my life. Steve is out of a job and scared. He knows he’s on the outs with the current administration. He’s a political hack who has no place in the current GOP regime. It’s really just that simple. These people don’t have “party” or “ideological” loyalties. This is just a job for him. And the guys he backed lost.
Trump 2020
@Leo M Stay the course. Hold the line. Keep your powder dry.
So sad 😞
A traitor??? Toadster119 you have to be kidding. A traitor Riggs a nomination…twice against it’s own voters. You’re a complete moron or a paid troll. Which is it.
If Trump is allowed 4 more years, we are done. Its the end of a great nation
Can you tell me Biden’s plan? I haven’t heard anything yet? Please inform me..
@ATM GUY https://joebiden.com/joes-vision/
@nick smith I know, it’s awful. It’s better to be governed by a wannabe dictator 😊
@Scott6794 Better than Trump, standing there and telling them that it’s ok for them to take over …………..
100 %
The USA is Falling apart and your leader is peddling beans in the Oval Office
so what moron.
Yes, beans because a man who really is a man, stood up and supports Pres. Trump. Democrats are such hypocrites. It was all good when Peloski was eating all that ice cream now wasn’t it?? I do not understand how you can be so against Trump when the Democrats are so evil. If per chance the Democrats win we will be a Marxist country with no morals and being told what to do. I don’t see how anyone could vote Democrat with the way our country has been for the past few months. You all don’t care if there are murders/ rioting/statues being torn down/vandalism, and such stupidity. Defund the police? When someone defends their home against a bunch of angry, armed, so called protestors, enter their property, and then they are called being in the wrong for pulling guns on them? Give me a break? You all want to take away all our freedoms. I don’t want to live in a lawless country. Apparently you all like this stuff and I just can’t imagine anyone being so crazy. Right now things that are wrong are made to be right and things that are right are made to be wrong. That is not a pretty picture. What if they come to your house? I guess you would offer them cookies while they killed you and burned your home, and the Democrat leaders would sit back and say, “well you were a white racist after all, so it’s all okay.” Good grief.
@Claude LeBel The ones who support him. At least he isn’t bending over backwards to appease the BLM like the Democrats do.
@GeneralKenobi75 I wanted to reply with a version of the _”how many (blank) does it take to change a lightbulb”_ as it relates to Trump, having heard one a while back. I searched, but there are so many versions I gave up. Many can be at the link below. Cheers, General SIr. https://secondnexus.com/conway-trump-lightbulb-joke-twitter
@jones Thank you very much! I need a good laugh from all of this.
This is what happens when you elect a narsassist….he had the entire world build the wall around us…
when i am in furious agreement with a Conservative like Schmidt, things must be bad….really bad
Trump’s legacy is making America the laughing stock of the world.
I wish you were wrong on that note.
