18/ it really is, as opposed to it becoming the only defense against a crazy ideology that working people feel is being imposed on them from the Elite universities they didn’t go to and by the powerful people who have lied to them,abused them and treated them with contempt — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

16/ RFK - Indianapolis MLK speech. South Africa address. 2 hours of tape between 1966 and 1968 17/ JFK - Inauguration- Moon Speech. Berlin Speech. Address to Massachusetts Legislature before inauguration. More of that stuff will make Trumps fascist schtick look as bad as — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

15/ FDR- my little dog FALA speech. This may be the greatest response to a political attack in American history and FDR was really ill when he crushed it. MLK - read Letter from a Birmingham Jail. August 28, 1963 Freedom March Speech- Mountaintop Speech. Nobel speech — PolitiTweet.org

14/ because most politicians don’t like watching video of other better politicians at the cost of being able to watch less of themselves. Democratic Candidates would be well advised in my view to watch a couple of hours of tape. Here is what I would tell them to watch. — PolitiTweet.org

13/ This is where sports can help. Modern teams in every competitive sport watch a lot of game film. They study it, analyze it and break it down. It helps them win. Of course, with the rarest of exceptions, this is almost impossible to execute culturally within politics — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

12/ because he said China is a threat, which it is. There seems to be a general disorientation in the Democratic Party that the main issue that is driving looming defeat is a lack of meanness. It’s a lack of ability to talk about BETTER. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

11/ That is why HIZZHONOR is living in Gracie Mansion and spreading good vibes, positive energy and excellent advice about plant based diets. This is why @RickCarusoLA will be elected Mayor of LA, a city in deep crisis. @TimRyan isn’t backing up from absurd cries of racism — PolitiTweet.org

10/ it . Out of touch DC politicians think the UBER driver is on the same side of an issue as the person in the tent in Lafayette Park. They aren’t. The Uber driver is working his/her ass off and wants to see LAW and ORDER not chaos. Eric Adams understand this principle. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

9/This is even more acutely true in America’s West Coast cities where the markers of a functioning society have become evidence of injustice and human misery while the evidence of progress and compassion are measured by the number of tent cities . Working people see right through — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

8/ in two plus years. The tent city clusters are new. Working people don’t view this as compassionate policy. They view it with unchecked hostility because it is a blight imposed on them by powerful people who can evade it. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

7/ elite party. The view it as soft, silly and out of touch with reality. For example, it’s not just that Hispanics think LatinX is a stupid term which they do, it’s that overwhelmingly, like everyone else, it makes no sense to them. I just got back from my first trip to DC — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/jobs where people are routinely injured, that require constant attentiveness and make society function. These people evaluate risk in a completely different manner than the elites they feel judged and held in contempt by. These people associate the Democratic Party as the — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/ The great boundary line in American life is between Americans with and without a college degree. This represents both the risk line and pain line in life. Working people couldn’t zoom to work from islands and national parks for two years. They had to go to the types of — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

4/ The line that is driving our politics is an over under line. It is horizontal. 40% of the country doesn’t have $400 cash in savings, has been devastated by Opioids, Government lies about them and has watched a middle class life disappear within a working lifetime. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/and put a beer in his hand. Where should we look to find the fault lines in American life? What is determining and driving our politics? Is it ideological? Is the easiest way to understand it through an evaluation of a Meridian that divides right and left? GOP from Democrat? — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/the hypocrisy and aloofness of the American elite from American life than Covid. Historians and elites tend to remember FDR through a prism of his expanding the size and reach of government. The Ironworker in Pittsburgh viewed him as the guy who got government off his back and — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Ok: so this is where COVID and masks and all that come into play. The bad faith is epic and luminescent. Yet, somehow winning. There are many ways to interpret this. I’m going to lay out two of them. There has been no single issue since Prohibition that has so thoroughly revealed — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/ real time how much Trump, his aides and family hate that idea. These people must never hold any position of power or public responsibility ever again. Disgrace doesn’t begin to describe it. What they did is unforgivable in this country within the span of mortal life. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/ Presidents SERVE the PEOPLE of AMERICA. Election to the Office of President of the United States of America is the highest honor the collective Citizenry can bestow on a fellow citizen. It is a sacred trust. The President is a trustee of the idea of America. Trump jr showed in — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

4/ no authority, no special privilege. HE CONTROLS NOTHING. The FACT that @DonaldJTrumpJr jr speaks like that shows his malice and autocratic heart. He speaks in the language of political violence. It is the language of PUTIN. American Presidents and their sons control nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/the power of Government to interfere with. Today, we recognize ALL MEN are CREATED EQUAL as ALL PEOPLE are CREATED EQUAL. A Presidents SON has no standing in this land. He hold no TITLE and no HONORS . He is simply a citizen. NO MORE and NO LESS than any other CITIZEN. He has — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ AUTHORITY to Write, Execute and Interpret the law within a system of Government that is Co-equal, Federal and based on the following principles. 1. The Powers of Government are proscribed. 2. The powers of Government are limited. 3. The Rights of the Individual exist beyond — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

CHEAT SHEET: The United States of America is the OLDEST CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC IN THE WORLD. The AMERICAN PEOPLE are SOVEREIGN. This means they are in CONTROL. The AMERICAN People~NOT the people they elect are in CONTROL. ELECTED OFFICIALS are granted TEMPORARY LAWFUL — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

14/ will be. Thank you @ChrisCoons — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

13/one faction or the other cheers the devouring by their favorite lions. This is a process that fills the room with the most extreme elements of the American Right Wing. It is a process boiling with money 💰 and corruption. The more we talk about that the better America — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

12/argument for keeping cameras out of the Supreme Court for the next 10 million Eons. The hearings are Political blood sport; a little bit Salem Witch Trial, a dash of the Scarlett Letter, a pinch of THE Hunt for Big Foot, all mixed together in a grotesque American stew where — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

11/ Otherwise it’s easy peasy for qualified individuals, which of course Justice Jackson was, simply by virtue of counting up all of the Republicans who had previously voted to confirm her for a Federal Judgeship. These hearings have become spectacle and are the single greatest — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

10/ supposed to work. Presidential elections have consequences and the President nominates Judges that the Senate must approve. It is time for a great compromise. Set the lines. Define the boundaries that are the fighting lines on the occasional nominations that test them. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

9/stop the insanity and end the Judicial Wars are the necessary Constitutional changes that would set term limits of 20 years for the Chief Justice and 15 years for an Associate Justice with a mandatory retirement provision at 85 for all Justices. Here is how the system is — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

8/Gerontocracy of Judicial control where Justices serve 70 years as the fruit of a process that is teeming with the presence of all manner of extreme right wing groups of the type Ginni Thomas has LONG been associated. The singularly most important reform that can be made to — PolitiTweet.org
