   Steve Schmidt is a former Republican, having left the party in 2018.   
   He is the person who ran John McCain's campaign for president in 2008.   
   Today he is an Independent, as many other Republicans have also left   
   the party. I am not affiliated with any political party, and choose   
   to remain so.

   Although some Democrats did vote for Trump in 2016, many of those   
   same Democrats regret having done so. Will they vote for Biden? Or   
   will they choose not to vote at all? That is the question.   
      
   As for Republicans, their Republican Party no longer exists. Today   
   it has become nothing more than a polite fiction. What Republicans are   
   voting for is dictatorship under Trump & Co.

   You got your wish in 2008, when Barack Obama won.   
   And again in 2012, when Barack Obama did it a second time.   
      
   >The Republican party doesn't represent the interests of working Americans,   
   > it hasn't for a long time.   
      
   Republicans holding office represent the interests of Donald Trump,   
   not the interests of the American people.   
      
   >Pooh to them I say!   
      
   And those who continue to support them.   
      
   >Must be desperate if we are referring to the opinions of Republican party   
   > hacks now.   
      
   Steve Schmidt is not a Republican. After he left the party, he   
   decided to have some fun, founding The Lincoln Project.   
      
   Republican party hacks hate him for that. So does Donald Trump.   
      
   >What is Trumpism anyway?   
      
   A death cult.
