Really??? I thought Schmidt had gained more sense. Very disappointing...and I think, not a good career move.

This refers to Howard Schultz - majority owner and former CEO of Starbucks (nasty) coffee.

So, it's even worse than you thought!

I have to be careful with her, if she starts acting like a hyena, I must turn her off...

I can't stand when she starts stuttering - her mouth going faster than her brain. She's gotten better.

14. Schmidt didn't pick Palin

McCain picked Palin. And what’s more, Schmidt didn’t even discover Palin. That was Rick Davis.

Schmidt is a cock knock for working with Schultz but he didn’t make Palin happen. Also, people assume Palin or someone like her wouldn’t have surfaced if Palin wasn’t on the ticket in 2008. This doesn’t make a lot of sense when you look at how the Obama presidency unfolded and how it made white conservatives completely unhinged over 8 years. It was only a matter of time.

If the RNC keeps a repub from challenging Trump, these pundits will find an independent they like & bash the hell out of the dems. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" isn't always true.

his (and all Never-Trumpers) opposition to rump was all about preserving the puke party as a going concern...and so is this candidacy.

Really sad to see...I was actually thinking slowly the Schmidt had principles- looks like he is no different than all the others who care about money more than their country.

There is no way Steve Schmidt can ever convince me that he took this gig because he thinks Howard Schultz can save this country and is best for us.

What a sad story for Schmidt to nail to his Bio...
