Oh, really? I've been following Steve Schmidt on Substack and like his writing and opinions. I was not aware that he's a Republican; he sure doesn't sound like one! So, I agree about Liz Cheney and now Steve Schmidt. I found the Bulwark to be incoherent, so I dropped my subscription to that.

He was McCain’s campaign manager and the person most responsible for choosing Sarah Palin as the VP candidate. He was also a principal supporter of the Dean Phillips candidacy against Biden in the 2024 primary.
To me, Schmidt seems to write in a sort of ersatz West Wing tone while practicing the usual Republican hackish politics.
I’ve always had the impression that he’s in it for himself. I was considering McCain as a candidate when they stuck Palin in there. I had great respect for the McCain family when I lived in Arizona. He would have been my first Republican vote.
Steve is not a Republican . He became a Democrat when Trump was elected. He did work for McCain but has stated repeatedly in his posts that he did not have anything to do with picking Palin..
Schmidt is one of the best friends the Resustance has.
Schmidt is a disillusioned Republican, and worked for John McCain’s campaign of late. Knows how it works within the public, was part of the initial Lincoln Project group.

The choice of Palin caused my mother, a diehard Republican up to that point, to start voting for Democrats. She says she’s never going back.
Hmm, I didn't know those things about Schmidt. Thanks for mentioning it.
Steve Schmidt gave us Sarah Palin.
No.he did not. Go back to some of his posts and he talks at length about that
He was a founder of The Lincoln Project. He managed John McCain’s campaign.
Schmidt broke ranks in favor of Dean Phillips against Biden. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/steve-schmidt-advising-dean-phillips-1234864257/
btw, I just turned 84, so I'm no spring chicken, either, Kelly Brest van Kempen.
Schmidt used to be a Republican. Not anymore.
