6/anyone who will not submit to him, American culture has been profoundly poisoned. Hate groups are emboldened. White Supremacists, heavily armed and obese militias, Nazi’s, conspiracy theorists and other extremists are all excited and thriving in this Trumpian spring. A GOP — PolitiTweet.org

5/ probably could do without the sabotage of the groups attacking him with a premise that is as absurd as anything that ever spewed forth from the Trump podium. Because the American people elected a racist in 2016 who has bottomless malice towards — PolitiTweet.org

4/ groups are. They are a heavy political burden and one of the reasons that political disaster is looming in November. @TimRyan is an exception to the trend line. I personally believe this is the most important Senate race in the country. Tim can win and will win but could — PolitiTweet.org

3/ true. There is no racism in the ad. There is truth in the ad and this country needs Senators with the guts to tell the truth and stand up for the right. The competition between America and China is real. The “controversy” speaks perfectly to how profoundly out of touch so many — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ nations of the world as the dominant military, scientific, economic and cultural powers on Earth. When that happens there will be many countries who are burying the dead of their Bucha’s . Why are Asian AMERICAN groups criticizing an ad about a hostile foreign power that is — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

.@TimRyan has moral redlines. China must be one. It is a repressive, aggressive, dystopian nuclear power that is engaged in one of the fastest military expansions in world history. It is a party to a Russian-Chinese treaty that seeks to displace the United States and the free — PolitiTweet.org

in a way that connects with the audience. More this. Less that. We need to see more of younger Democratic Senators like @brianschatz @ChrisMurphyCT @SenDuckworth and @ossoff. This business requires effective communication and connection. Communications isn’t a secondary — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Please watch. @brianschatz is another example of someone I really admire. He is an excellent communicator we should see more of. Chuck Schumer is a fine person who is a terrible communicator. Very bad. He can’t make an argument. He can’t express conviction and he can’t talk — PolitiTweet.org

Exception of Ukrainian victory makes the world a less free and more dangerous place. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The cost only increases from here. It was a cost imposed by Putin not Biden. This country must meet the test again and it will. A world where American resolve is doubted is a very dangerous one. This war could go in a lot of direction. Every single one of them with the — PolitiTweet.org

Because we are the most powerful country in the world. Richest also. We are the leading and most powerful nation in an alliance of freedom and liberty. There is no Rock n Roll without freedom. There is only death. The war must be won in Ukraine by Ukraine or it spreads beyond — PolitiTweet.org

@DrSarteschi Two thoughts. First, Commander is a Naval rank, not an Army rank. Second, the only lethal thing going on in that picture was sartorial murder. I suppose there might be a rundown Inn with a spitting mad owner wondering who stole his curtains. It’s this guy and they’re a Jacket now — PolitiTweet.org

2/ He looked at me and said “ never fuck with the mailman.” I never have. Ever. It was a tender New Jersey moment I had forgotten about until these guys messed with the mailman. Trump and his stooges messed with mailmen and that didn’t work out either. Just don’t do it. Risky. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

True story. When I was 8, “Tom the Mailman” chased down a bike thief, captured him and led him back by the ear lobe with one hand while rolling the bike with the other. My Grandpa saw the whole thing with me from the front porch. — PolitiTweet.org

@OKnox I do know this. If I was the Press Secretary and was asked the question that Psaki was asked by the President of the WH Correspondents Association about why we shouldn’t call it World War 3 I might have had an aneurysm on live TV. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ with ambition and inspired by Justice Jackson. I hope I get to hang around long enough to see what those kids will do someday. For sure, they are going to make America better than it is going to be at day break tomorrow which is miles beyond where we were just yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

4/ an Amazing person who rose to the top. That doesn’t say anything about JUSTICE Jackson but it says a lot about them and the contempt they have for the genius of our system of government. Today, the promise of America was renewed and somewhere out there is a little kid burning — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ was a long time coming and it didn’t come cheap. The sacrifices that have been made to expand liberty and freedom in this country aren’t just humbling and awe inspiring, they beggar the imagination. Republicans walked out of the Senate rather than applaud an accomplishment by — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ tells a story about the power of dignity. It’s an old movie and it’s called Glory. It tells the true story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment and what they did and how they died. Tomorrow will be better in America because of what happened today. What happened today — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

1/Tomorrow morning will be different in America. Tomorrow morning every single little black girl in America can be told that they too can become a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America. Couldn’t say that this morning. Now it’s done. There is a movie that — PolitiTweet.org

It also evidences the wisdom of the seven P’s which should be introduced as a concept to many of the reporters in the WH briefing room. Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Swan was prepared. There was no gotcha and no contempt. Big time interview. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I’ve spent a lot of my career giving people advice about how to answer media questions. There are only three types of Questions a human being will ever be asked. There are I KNOW, I FEEL and I THINK questions. This was an I know question and Mitch McConnell didn’t know. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Going forward this should be called the Swan Test. @jonathanvswan. It should be the first question at debates and the answer should be on the front page of every American local news paper. Every single Federal Officeholder and Governor should be asked. — PolitiTweet.org

7/ anything worth fighting for. What a hollow man. What an empty vessel. What a sad story. Now we know for sure who Mitch is. He is a man who can’t comprehend a question about Moral red lines and that matters in a world that needs them very badly. It’s why America is in trouble — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/ McConnell didn’t even understand the question. It is all about the transaction. There is no meaning behind anything in this world, accept power. We saw Mitch and the world he lives in. It is a small, dark, depressing and fetid place where there is no conviction, integrity or — PolitiTweet.org

5/ In a cocoon of cloistered arrogance where accountability and brazen contradictions can be dismissed with a wave of a powerful hand. Right and Wrong must be at the beating heart of politics in a democratic society. — PolitiTweet.org
