Steve Schmidt Flees GOP; Another Merchant of Doubt?

Top Republican party strategist Steve Schmidt has quit the GOP and said he will vote for Democrats. In effect he confirmed the lavender red-blue Republicratic one party system in Congress if there is so little difference between them that a GOP strategist is comfortable with being a turncoat. No conviction-driving content to differentiate one side from another enough for members to care.

The now former-GOP strategist apparently was unhappy with President Trump's policy of holding children brought in by illegal alien adults separately. At the end of the day it is about money and prospects for profit. perhaps Schmidt sees greener grass for Democrats ahead.

Republicratic strategists may be a result of the pay-to-play nature of elected government. There was a movie about professional advocates and tacticians that built up public relations strategies for big tobacco and big corporations against regulations to remediate global warming greenhouse gassing by humans. That movie called Merchants of Doubt described adepts at manipulating public opinion for pay. I would guess that Steve Schmidt doesn't work as a volunteer without pay for his political schemes.

At least the U.S. Senate isn't smoking dope recreationally yet, like their Canadian class-peers.
