Wow. "100% of the people around Trump lie about Russia 100% of the time."

"Not 90% of the time. Not 99% of the time. 100% of the time. And I believe this will turn out to be one of the biggest scandals in American history." Steve Schmidt on MSNBC just now. (Not a direct quote, just a quick transcription -- I'm sure it will get played over and over again today).

Will anyone be surprised if the entire GOP is caught up in this scandal??

After the break he got back into again. He said they lie 100% of the time "about everything."

I've rarely seen such intense passion. Such moving words! Steve's words that I'll hold on to when I feel so much despair. I seriously thought Harold Ford was going to cry.
I know I was close to tears with a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart.

Same after Schmidt's first comments. He and Rhule just sat there kind of stunned. All Stephanie could say was "I hope you DVR'd that!" Schmidt was incredibly upset and wasn't afraid to let everyone know.

And Steve Schmidt is one of them. I know he has been brutally anti-trump from the beginning. But it cannot be overstated that this was McCain's chief strategist in 2008. Liberal media indeed.

Leave the G.O.P. and go Independent. Same with Nicole Wallace. (she admits she still has PTSD from her association with Sarah Palin)
