Donald Trump tried to go after former McCain Campaign Strategist Steve Schmidt, the head of The Lincoln Project, on Twitter. Schmidt didn't hold anything back in his reply: “You’ve never beaten me at anything. This is our first dance. Did you like, Covita? We are so much better at this than your team of crooks, wife beaters, degenerates, weirdos and losers. You are losing. We heard you loved Evita. You saw it so many times. Where will you live out your years in disgrace? Will you buy Jeffrey Epstein’s island? One last extra special deal from him? Or will you be drooling on yourself in a suite at Walter Reed? Maybe you will be in prison? I bet you fear that. The Manhattan District Attorney may not be around to cover for you or your crooked kids anymore. Eliza Orlins doesn’t believe in different sets of rules for the Trumps. What about the State Attorney General? You know what you’ve done. Oh, Donald. Who do you owe almost $500 million in personally guaranteed loans to? It's all coming down. You think you and your disgusting family are going to be in deal-flow next year? Are you really that delusional? You are lucky Chris Wallace interrupted you after Joe Biden said you weren’t smart. You started to melt down. That’s the place that hurts the most. Right? Fred Sr., knew it. You’ve spent your whole life proving it. You aren’t very smart. You couldn’t take the SAT on your own. What was the real score? 970? We both know you know. Are the steroids wearing off? Is the euphoria fading? Do you feel foggy? Tired? Do you ache? How is the breathing? Hmmm. Are you watching TV today? We will have some nice surprises for you. Everyone is laughing at you. You are a joke. A splendid moron turned deadly clown. Did you watch Martha McSally in her debate against American hero, fighter pilot, test pilot, astronaut Capt. Mark Kelly? She is so embarrassed by you. She is ashamed and full of self-loathing for the choice she made in following you over the cliff. She is in free fall now. She will lose, like most of them, because of you. We hear from the White House and the campaign everyday. They are betraying you. They are looking to get out alive and salvage careers and their names. It’s Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner vs. Donald Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle on the inside. They are at war over scraps and who gets to command what will be the remnants of your rancid cult. It’s almost over now. You are the greatest failure in American history. You are the worst president in American history. Disgrace will always precede your name. Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up ashamed of their names. One day, I suppose there will be some small and not-much-visited library that bears your name. It will be the type of place where a drunk walks by, staring at the wall for a minute, before deciding it is beneath his dignity to piss on. That’s what is waiting for you. Joe Biden is a better man. He’s smarter. He’s winning. Do you remember when you didn’t want to name Donald Trump Jr., Donald because you were worried about him being a loser named Donald? You were right about that. He is. But it is you who will be remembered as America’s greatest loser. You will be crushed in the election!” Holy crap! They really don't like him.

The best part is the video ( Twitter link). Reason why Steve said Covita....video is to the music "Don't cry for me Argentina..."

Later, If I was you, I would definitely read or follow twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES. 15 hours ago, he said "Damn! You guys (Lincoln Project etc.) were right. We are going to have to go negative after all." His latest chain... includes snippets such as "You are American history's greatest loser and failure Donald." "You really aren't that smart," "...from the moment you lose you will never have a peaceful or happy day again," and "You will never be forgiven by the American people. You will never be forgiven for betraying the American military."

wow.
Since the trump team seems to be all about "asshole-ery is a sign of strength and power" trump just got made to look like a 5 year old. That's gotta hurt.
I'm guessing his people are scrambling to put on their big boy pants and come up with something suitable to top Schmidt.
I'm am sorry that those who oppose trump had to lower themselves to his level.
I wonder if we will see more of this...

What I was attempting to say was that they used language trump would understand. I don't twitter... so haven't really viewed much from Schmidt. I see it now.

You don't have to tweet (I don't either); you can just view their pages.

I was not aware there was infighting between camp Don Jr and camp Ivanka over who gets to be the Maga heir. Interesting.
I knew Don Jr new girlfriend was very shouty, based on her performance at the convention, but did not realize she was accused of sexually harassing an admin when she worked at Fox. New Yorker has they story, I will post later when I can.

Ok, now that I'm past the shock of it...is this the kind of thing that will make his supporters see him as weak? And is this the way Democrats should be talking to him?

Who knows what his supporters will think about it. I have given up trying to understand their logic. As to whether Democrats should be talking to him like this? Why not? Nothing else seems to shut him up.

I always figured the three oldest will cannibalize each other fighting over what's left of Trump's empire once he's dead.

I’ve liked Steve for a long time, if you want to know more about him including his running of McCain’s 08 campaign, mistakes and all watch the movie “Game Change” from HBO.

When Trump leaves office, he is going to get hit with some tremendous lawyers bills defending him.....and since Trump has a reputation of not paying bills, you know damn well lawyers are going to want a hefty retainer up front. <wondering why my iPad keeps autocorrecting Trump to Trumpets>

From what I understand of the Lincoln Project, they have 2 strategies: one is focused primarily on Donald Trump and his pals and to get under his skin (such as the tweets above and Ivanka's "Find Something New" video) and the second is to reach the swing voters. Democrats should NOT take this strategy. If Biden was to support/run these ads, he would no longer be "as good a man as God ever created" (quote by Lindsay Graham).

This made me think of the following: I consider taking down Trump doing good. Considering he has been recruiting his terrorist goons for the last four years and is attempting a coup of your county either through election fraud or warfare, I think defeating him by any means possible excluding the death of innocents to be an act of the greatest good.
