Schultz first mistake was to hire this loser, possibly the dumbest, most incompetent consultant around. Former McCain campaign manager leaves GOP over family separations By Jamie Ehrlich, CNN Washington (CNN)A Republican strategist who managed Sen. John McCain's unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign said Wednesday he is leaving the Republican Party in the wake of the Trump's administration's immigration policies that have led to the separation of families. "29 years and nine months ago I registered to vote and became a member of The Republican Party which was founded in 1854 to oppose slavery and stand for the dignity of human life. Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the party of Trump," Steve Schmidt tweeted early Wednesday morning. Schmidt went on to call the party "corrupt, indecent and immoral." "With the exception of a few Governors like (Massachusetts Gov. Charlie) Baker, (Maryland Gov. Larry) Hogan and (Ohio Gov. John) Kasich it is filled with feckless cowards who disgrace and dishonor the legacies of the party's greatest leaders," Schmidt said in a series of tweets. "This child separation policy is connected to the worst abuses of humanity in our history. It is connected by the same evil that separated families during slavery and dislocated tribes and broke up Native American families. It is immoral and must be repudiated. Our country is in trouble. Our politics are badly broken. The first step to a season of renewal in our land is the absolute and utter repudiation of Trump and his vile enablers in the 2018 election by electing Democratic majorities. I do not say this as an advocate of a progressive agenda. I say it as someone who retains belief in DEMOCRACY and decency." https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/politics/steve-schmidt-leaves-gop/index.html
Yeh, probably might make sense for the strategy he is following which is to try to peel off disenchanted trump voters and rinos and allows Java Man to have an operative onboard who allegedly understands republicans without hiring someone who is still supporting trump. It's all wacky. The dem party is in chaos. One argue that Java Man is no longer a dem so his situation does not apply. Nope. His situation is Exhibit A of the chaos in the dem party.
He just renounced Wednesday? He's been drinking the lefty kool-aid for years. So what's his new campaign slogan? Orange man bad. But he's not an advocate of the progressive agenda, aka leftist agenda? Sure thing, whatever you say.
When your services are no longer found useful by conservatives because the base realize what a sellout your are... and you wish to get on T.V. or advise someone.... you become a democrat. It was similar to how "neo conservatives" were forced out of the democrat party because they were big govt spenders but they were Patriots for a strong military to push around the middle east and make it "safe". So they become republicans pushing for war in the middle while being patriots.
And there is another game that the sell-outs play. Some of them pretend that they are still republicans so that the lefty media can have them on consistently to bash trump under the guise of "even the republicans" think this or that. Bill Kristol and that Ralph Peterson butt-hurt guy are two prime examples. If your Fox News contract is not renewed then suddenly you re-appear as a butt hurter over on CNN.
2018 popular vote for the House Democrats 60,727,598 Republicans 50,983,895 2018 popular vote for the Senate Democrats 53,044,160 Republicans 34,948,225 CNN: Trump's Average Approval Rating Slips to 37 Percent President Donald Trump’s average approval rating, taken from five major polls, stands is 37 percent in January, according to CNN. On average, his disapproval rating is 57 percent. CNN averaged the poll results from Gallup, Pew Research Center, NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist College, CBS News and its own survey. All the polls were taken in January. His average approval in late November to early December was 41 percent. Fifty-one percent disapproved at that time.
Schultz has a 4% favorable rating! That’s almost impossible to do. You actually have to work hard at getting people to not like you at this level.
