4/strategy that led to his comeback and the GOP nomination. The advice I gave him was to embrace the most unpopular position in the United States at the time and make it his own. He did it and it worked. It showed conviction and character could work. I didn’t get on my knees for — PolitiTweet.org

3/ the United States for money in any form or fashion. I was never paid and I’ve never asked for money. When John McCain’s campaign collapsed he fell to last place and was completely broke. That is when he called me. He called me when everyone else quit on him and I developed the — PolitiTweet.org

2/his association with Victor Yanukovych and work in favor of Russian interests in Montenegro. I refused to become entangled with any of that so I helped someone who asked me to help them for free because I didn’t think it was appropriate to ask a candidate for the Presidency of — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Going to respond to your latest smear about my being money motivated. I worked for John McCain for free. I was a volunteer. I did that because I didn’t want to have to do a $ deal with the person that controlled the checkbook because of his ties to Paul Manafort and Putin thru — PolitiTweet.org

It’s because you aren’t smart enough to understand it. It’s been precedent for 48 years. Wrongly decided or badly decided, it was decided. See the difference. A right was established and now it is being stripped for the first time in history. It’s why he works where he does and — PolitiTweet.org

2/ You have Weaponized her wedding announcement. You have bullied a public servant in the public square because of your appalling character, your extremism, innate cruelty and bad judgement. You are a perfect avatar for the putridness of your extremist cause. You are the textbook — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

You are an Attorney? @willchamberlain @ABAesq Grotesque. You have no proof. You have targeted a Clerk for the US Supreme Court Justice Breyer for harassment. You have set about trying to send a digital mob after her. You have made her marriage into a political conspiracy theory. — PolitiTweet.org

4/And died disproportionately as always. The incompetence and idiocy that led the most scientifically and medically advanced society on Earth to become the epicenter of COVID will be studied for hundreds of years if all the books aren’t burned and the Universities aren’t closed — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ death by refusing to develop a national approach so they could blame Blue State Governors. It’s all true. It’s all documented. It’s one of the most profound acts of evil in American history and evil is exactly what it fucking was. Poor black and brown people suffered the most — PolitiTweet.org

10/ reform fruit that there isn’t a word for it. This is a must read. It is a biting, scary and alarming take. We should all stop reading things and dismissing larger truths over smaller disagreements. For me this is such a story. I subscribed to the Substack. Good writing and — PolitiTweet.org

9/Unhappy life coaches are a thing so I read on. What caught my eye was the valuation, $ 5 billion. For what? It will never ever make money. Broken. Reforming these institutions should be the basis for new coalitions who can find agreement in so much low hanging available for — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

8/ Media is broken, Politics is Broken, Silicon Valley is broken, business is broken. Think about @WeWork. How was it worth $60 billion? Easy, it lost $58 million a week and a $1 Billion per year. Recently, @thedailybeast reported on trouble at Prince Harry’s Life Coaching App — PolitiTweet.org

7/ A corrupt, transactional, access based political media looks the other way because the access goes away if they do a proper investigation. @HolmesJosh might as well walk around Washington with a “I am the new Jack Abramoff” when he isn’t wearing his “I’m the new Paul Manafort — PolitiTweet.org

6/Saudi and Emirati money. It is flowing, unregulated into firms like the one @HolmesJosh runs. He whispers the policy to @LeaderMcConnell and poof done deal. He is siphoning millions of dollars from @WINRED as are the other political aides close to the corrupt GOP leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/ support. 15 year term limits, 85 year old mandatory retirement, strict code of ethics. The idea of self regulation for people who are among the most powerful people in the world is absurd. The majority of the most corrupt people I know are lawyers. Washington DC is awash in — PolitiTweet.org

4/ success the attack on democracy makes no sense. These institutions are in danger of being burned to the ground by extremists who want power because they need to be reformed to re establish legitimacy. Here are two ideas for the Supreme Court that an overwhelming majority will — PolitiTweet.org

3/ In institutions is the high octane fuel of the Fascist movement. They are arguing the failure of democracy ( institutions) means we need to get rid of democracy as opposed to reforming and renewing institutions. Burning down the institutions is the strategy because absent — PolitiTweet.org

2/ the eyes of the American people, 40 % of whom don’t have $400 in cash savings. A million people were killed by the Sackler family and the corrupt FDA. It’s just one example. @pareen is to my political left but that doesn’t make his observation untrue to me. The loss of faith — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

1/“The Legitimacy crisis is that our institutions are illegitimate” @pareen. This is a shocking statement and it makes me recoil as an institutionalist. That doesn’t mean it is untrue. Our institutions are broken, corrupt, self dealing and failing. They have lost legitimacy in — PolitiTweet.org

@JDVance1 calling America a “joke” saying he is “uncomfortable”in Ohio or that we have to have a dictator to save democracy in America. He is appalling and their is no mystery. He is what he is which is an extremist and a fraud. Big Time — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Who is @JDVance1? Are there two @JDVance1? Here is a ridiculous take from @nro that posits the conventional wisdom lunacy that there is confusion around who this fascist is. There is one @JDVance1.

“ Four dead in Ohio” There has never been an untroubled era in American history. There has never been calm seas. There has been a fight on for 246 years. This killing shocked the conscience of the nation. Many people believed it was all coming undone in 1970. — PolitiTweet.org
