Steve Schmidt hammers ‘imbecilic’ Trump for undoing American democracy with a ‘blizzard of lies’
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/steve-schmidt-hammers-imbecilic-trump-undoing-american-democracy-blizzard-lies/
“There is only one requirement now to be labelled a conservative in good standing — absolute, total obedience to Trump,” Schmidt said.
Republicans continue to follow Trump through a “blizzard of lies,” which he uses to scapegoat and demonize the vulnerable through conspiracy theories.
“It doesn’t matter what he says, and so in the 240th year in the independence of the United States, in three states by 78,000 votes, the American people by a fluke elected an imbecilic former reality TV show host and con man whose only affinity for reading anything were the Adolf Hitler speeches he kept on his nightstand,” he continued.
He said the “American century” was coming to an end, and he placed the blame on Trump and his GOP allies.
“America’s decline is beginning and we should make no mistake about this,” Schmidt said. “The U.S.-led liberal global order is in peril, it’s in threat. Will he take us out of the World Trade Organization? Will he undermine the international system that Franklin Roosevelt conceived, that Harry Truman built, that was sustained through Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama?”
“It’s anyone’s guess, but the idea that tomorrow will be okay because yesterday was or last year was is a naive view of the world,” he added.

And this was only a small part of what he said.

Where are the leaders of the GOP? Oh, they are kissing Trump's golden throne!
Steve is the text-book definition of articulate.
At the same time, what he is warning about is frightening beyond words.
Just now, he called out Mike Pence as a hypocrite and a fraud!
Now Scarborough is piling on Pence as a phony Christian too!
Was their racism worth it? Will they ever "get it"?
How shamefully embarassing for the KGOP republicans...
