5. Schmidt has had a good run at criticizing Trump, but he is not a "brilliant" man.

He is a right wing ideologue. Remember that he was the campaign manager for John McCain who is a right wing ideologue. Schmidt thinks that right wing policy is great, that deficits are not good, except when they occur because of a tax cut for the wealthy. He does not like that Trump is vulgar and naked about his racism, xenophobia, and economic elitism.

He is one of those Republicans that believe that Conservatism never fails, just that people fail conservatism. He is brainwashed I guess, just not in the way that people think and not because he signed up for Schultz. That was predictable.
