Didn’t Schmidt toy around with backing that Starbucks character in 2020? Some people will do anything for money. It’s disappointing because he is a good polemicist. But taking money to jeopardize your country? Nope. The Republican Party rots souls. Even makes me suspicious of Stuart Stevens.

Stevens is good. Genuinely remorseful and walks the walk as well as talks the talk. "It Was All A Lie" is a pretty solid "FU" to the GOP.

Stevens strikes me as genuinely remorseful with a man-without-a-country vibe. All the other Lincoln Project jackals are frauds running away in a pack after taking down democracy and leaving it to die, feasted upon by the maga hyenas.
