How can it be that so many millions of Americans still support Donald Trump, despite all of his alleged crimes? I try to clear up the confusion and explain it:The Warning with Steve Schmidt is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
I don't know Steve personally. I understand how disappointed people are in him for his recent decision to work on the Dean Phillips campaign.
But, have you seen the polls?
I know the polls aren't the final word, and that they've been unreliable the past few years, but they're consistently showing that voters don't want a rematch, that the majority of voters believe Biden is too old, and that if the vote were held today, all the swing states would go for Trump resulting in his victory.
I think Joe Biden is an excellent president. I will definitely vote for him or whomever the democratic candidate turns out to be, but
In my estimation Steve is making a thoughtful and ballzy move. A move I'm sure he knew would evoke ire. But I respect him for seeing the big picture and putting his reputation on the line for our country.
The stakes are too high folks. We need to stop Trump. We need a Democrat who can win. If not Biden, or Phillips, then someone else.
It's time for the candidates to battle it out in the political arena. Perhaps then the Biden operatives will start aggressively broadcasting the President's many accomplishments.
Max, I appreciate and understand your viewpoint here. I feel, though, that the Dems are so weak on messaging that most people have almost no idea about what President Biden is doing for our country. I'm linking a recent article by Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project about why we all must Unite behind Biden. It is worth reading and sharing. Thanks.
Lisa, thanks for your response and for the link to the article. I've read it and agree whole heartedly.
Biden was the first candidate IN MY LIFE that I actually voted FOR as a person I wanted for president rather than as a lesser of two evils.
He's gifted. He's compassionate. He's exceeded my expectations. I don't care that he's old.
The operative phrase for me from your reply is that the Dems are so bad at messaging. Amen. Dems need to get over that. I'm not saying that they need to resort to Roger Stone "ratf***"ing" (excuse my French), but they need to be aggressive and relentless at extolling Biden's accomplishments.
And they need to stomp Phillips. They need to dominate. "Biden is the best president since FDR and here's why." And then state the facts, which are there. And state the minutiae - in short bursts - that people don't typically hear about.
We're entering an existential war. Time for the Dems to wake up, suit up, and swing the longswords.
I hold the MSM equally, if no more so, responsible for Biden's lack of approval. Until recently, they never said negative things about Trump, but that's all they report about Biden. They harp about Biden's age, when Trump is only 2-3 years younger and in much worse physical and mental condition! They never talk about all the successful legislation that the Biden administration has passed, that is strengthening America's infrastructure, bringing mfg back along with good paying union jobs, reducing the cost of insulin and more to follow.. just to name a few.
If th American people were hearing this information as much as Biden's age and shouldn't he be replaced, that's what they would be thinking about!
And to Steve's points as to why people aren't rejecting Trump, I would point out that Trump NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HELP ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE, and neither has the Republican party!
Voters are being "brainwashed", not just by Fox, but by the entire print and TV media!
I have a problem with the rationale that Biden is too old, but Trump (just 3 years younger) is a viable candidate. Especially with Trump's recent screw-ups, like talking about beating Obama in his first election, not knowing what state he was in during his speech in that state, claiming he was busy saving America from China in 2021, his incessant babbling the same phrases mindlessly. Rupert Murdock is older than Biden and there are many other examples of men into their late 80's & 90's functioning well. Yes, I look forward to younger persons (esp. more women) going forward, but we are at a critical, existential point right now.
Trump is no more a viable candidate than Biden. That’s not the issue. The issue is which party has the best candidate to win in 2024. Right now, Biden is losing that battle, regardless of the fact that that he‘s only 3 yrs younger. Who in their right mind wants trump getting his filthy hands anywhere near the White House? Not me, and not many people who pay money to read this substack.
The problem with Biden is not how fit he his now. The problem is that no one can predict his medical, including intellectual capacities to lead the biggest economy in the world in the 4 years following a successful run at the presidency in 2024. Who remembers Reagan? I do, and it wasn’t pretty when in his last year, his mental state was in such decline that most decisions were taken by someone else. No country should be confronted with that in this day and age.
You are caught in a misinformation loop. Some of that misinformation is finding its way into the comments section of The Warning community. Here are the facts. I'm going to state this as simply as I can, and then will comment on it.
Harlan Crow gave a contribution of $2,800 to Dean Phillips in 2019. Here is one of the three ProPublica stories detailing the corrupt acts between Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow that are deeply offensive and inappropriate:
These stories all came out in 2023. I have written forcefully about the corruption.
Trying to tie Dean Phillips to that is as dishonest as Kellyanne Conway on any given Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is wrong. The country is being overwhelmed by insanity and lies. Spreading the lies because it's your side doing it, doesn't mean it's not a lie.
I deeply respect the right of every American to speak out and express their views on any and every issue. Understanding Americans have this right is an elemental aspect of basic citizenship. Dissent and tolerance are necessary for the sustainment of freedom.
The attempt to indict the character of a person for an event that occurred before the information was revealed that unveiled the news of wrongdoing is the worst type of guilt by association. This is the type of insanity that explains why normal people are terrified to run for political office. What they are afraid of is people who are ill-informed, absolutely certain and willing to smear anybody at any time to be in good standing with the mob for the purposes of destruction in the name of democracy.
Who does that help? It helps Donald Trump. That's who it helps. The eradication of decency, normalcy and honesty is how we have arrived at this moment in time.
Steve respectfully I’ve never said a word about Dean Phillips or mentioned him ever and Never would.. all I have commented
I personally saw photos of Clarence
Thomas with Harlan Crow and other men in the woods at a beautiful
Location on a retreat or vacationing
Men’s trip enjoying being together
In the photo personally observed
NAZI memosrabilia and Crow has
Collected NAZI items( Steve NoJudgement made) the comment I made was that I wished that your talent that I respect in your ability
To explain and educate exquisitely
Would have chosen to represent
The accomplishments Biden has accomplished as Biden has been
Extremely important in repairing
Our relationships with our NATO
Allies and saving our democracy
Commenting negatively about you
Choosing to support Philips I’d
NEVER EVER do ..morally respect
Your right to choose to not support Biden I know you care deeply about our country and democracy..
Unfortunately you have mentioned
KELLEY Ann Conway who I find morally bankrupt hurt me..to write what you did on the anniversary of Kristalnacht honored the Jewish
faith And the man I had the honor to meet and spend time with Elie Weisel as my late husband was chief Administrative Judge in PBC
Who was Jewish and we travelled
To every horrible sight and spent a month in Israel with only 18 people
Visiting Kibbutz’s and hospital that was funded by Lion of Judah PBC
in Florida …Know that Harlan Crow
Is supporting your efforts and
My wish for you is only blessings
Wouldn’t consider attacking you
In any way only thing I’d ever do is ask a question …hope you continue
to educate and explain … Voting
And supporting our democracy
And doing what I’m capable of
doing in FL and also for BIDEN to
Get re-elected in 2024 …just as you are the age of my son and his brother died in 1993…have two grandchildren and pray they are blessed to live freely in our country
Thank you. I just wanted to correct the record. Harlan Crowe’s acts of corruption are despicable. I didn’t interpret your question as an attack. I deeply respect you from all that you’ve shared within our community.
Crowe is not supporting Congressman Phillips current effort.
Appreciate your support and engagement in this community. Always.
I don't know any more about Harlan Crow than you. I despise the fact that he owns Justice Thomas, who I believe should resign as of yesterday.
Harlan Crow is what I call a Rich Insider. He's an example of the corrupting power of special interests in our political system.
I'm not happy that Steve is in Crow's proximity, but I'm giving Steve the benefit of the doubt by invoking the ole chestnut, "politics makes strange bedfellows."
Biden is running because he MUST. If he hadn’t announced, he would have already become a “lame duck” in the eyes of the republicans. Are all these pundits so oblivious to this fact?
I’m hoping that today’s election results will prove the polls wrong and put this all behind us. Yes, sometimes I wear my rose-colored glasses to forget about Trump.
I am disappointed, and frankly shocked at MSNBC’s Biden bashing, but they broadcast Trump’s every twitch and twaddle outside the Court Room. Reminds me of 2016 all Trump all day. Hillary, but her emails. We doing this again?
Are you ticked off because both CNN and MSNBC are running the same polls? So am I, but to be fair to both, they’re both doing the same thing. If truth be told, I think CNN is much more slanted in their reporting, and not in our direction.
I had noticed their (CNN) rightward shift, I assume they're trying to be "fair and balanced". I have noticed, too, that some of the commentators call out quite fairly the R.W. guests when they lie outright, or say something questionable.
But, yeah, I'm sick of all Trump all the time. Stop it already!!
I think that they decided to take faux viewers away when faux fell into some very serious problems, financially and legally. Nothing but a $$$$$ decision. That's all that drives -- most of -- the news.
Marsha, I dont think you’ve read my previous posts, or even last night’s. I sing Biden’s laurels, including his knowledge, political savvy, foreign affairs diplomacy and the friendship that 🇨🇦 and the 🇺🇸 share, thanks in great measure to people like Biden. We disagree on the appropriateness of someone going into the next election on the doorstep of turning 82, regardless of his accomplishments since he was elected. He’s been formidable. It’s time for him to celebrate his accomplishments, in the same manner people celebrate our accomplishments when we retire.
Thank you Lisa. Alas, we don’t see eye to eye on this issue, but you’ll be happy to know it won’t change a hill of beans in the outcome. I’m a Canadian who lives in Canada, with a huge interest in the US geopolitical issues. I like to say that what goes around in the 🇺🇸 comes around in 🇨🇦. And that is what keeps me connected to my close family ties in the US and my very close family ties here in Canada.
President Biden IS the visionary who is rebuilding our country 'from the bottom up and the middle out' and he IS the visionary who is passing already historic infrastructure legislation (in just three years so far!) in order to empower We The People. If we Unite behind Biden, there will not be any need for the FUism Steve rails on about. Dems need stronger messaging!
I wonder if he was counting on your help. Bet he didn’t see that one coming. I didn’t. I suppose I should have: Sarah Palin, Starbucks man, and Mr. Phillips. You seem deeply confused about your contribution to where we are as a country today
Steve Schmidt has put his finger on the biggest part of the biggest problem that we have in this country, and that is that people feel that their government is not helping them, and in fact is sometimes working against them. And, although they don't expect business to work for them, they used to expect business to treat them fairly. Not anymore.
And then along came a man who spent 15 years (I looked it up) 15 years acting as a hero on a fantasy television show that he controlled and in which he cast himself as a hero who understood everything and could sort out all problems and help everyone. Of course, that was a fantasy, but millions of people spent 15 years absorbing that message about that man. And millions of people are permanently convinced that he is fighting against the government and the business world that let them down. Of course, the evidence shows that he is a fraud, but people cling to the image that they accepted long ago, and, after all, no other superhero is fighting for them.
Steve: I beg you to help restore the Lincoln Project and bring the grifter in chief down. I would respectfully suggest that you and the Lincoln Project create an ad comprising some of the grifter's gaffes - including the one where he said that he was running against Obama, that he was in a different state and town from where he actually was at the time., etc. And play it over and over so that it would lessen the impact of Biden's age.
Relax everyone! Andy Beshear (D) won tonight in Kentucky. According to NBC, the party of the victor in the last five Kentucky gubernatorial races correctly predicted the winner of the following year's vote for President. Hey, I'll take my good news wherever I can get it.
Steve: How about a video where you sit down with a few Trump supporters and let them air their grievances. Respectfully. Not those loons on YouTube, but hardworking Americans who feel the way you’ve expressed here today. Will they see the con once you reveal what’s around the corner? Will it be a preview of what Jack Smith will face if he has to convince just one Trump supporter?
I wouldn’t worry so much re the polls right now. Trump is going to get convicted on multiple felonies and that along with a Women’s basic right to control their health decisions should be more than enough to sink the burnt orange wannabe dictator…. There does need to be better messaging…..Steve…..after Phillips drops out, I hope you go back to helping Biden beat Trump!
I believe every word you said. Trump and his henchmen, should he win, will gleefully punish anyone and everyone who dared oppose or expose him. And yet, he continues to somehow convince millions that he would be great for the country. It’s a constant worry in my household. I marvel at the lies he regularly gets away with. I have seriously considered moving to Canada to protect my family from his likely cruel and illegal misdeeds. My husband is an Army veteran. So is my father (but Navy), but dad despises Biden and practically worships Trump. I’m at a loss, to be perfectly honest. All of my siblings along with our father think Trump is a great leader, and while my father is not a college graduate, his 6 children are. I’m the only one who was educated away from our hometown. I believe that neither my dad or any of my siblings know how to think. Fox says it, good enough. We were bred with a hatred of Democrats. I’m the only one who revolted. What to do?
Just jumping on here one last time to reiterate that today’s polling means little. Polls had Andy Beshear and Daniel Cameron here in Kentucky in a “dead heat” right before the election. It was not close. Stop living and dying by the polls and don’t let them scare you. Unfortunately, some have made bad decisions because of them. Good-bye.
If Trump wins America will collapse. He will focus on what he always does. Himself and anyone he hates and wants to strike back at and attack. He will not give one damn about governing and helping Americans. His goons will focus on destroying every part of democracy that they are able to. And the great American democratic experiment will die at the hands of a sick old man and his goons who only cares about himself and themselves and those that kiss his rear end. And then even his supporters will see that they hitched their wagon to a self destructive sick old man who destroyed them and us and himself. It will get real ugly real fast all across America if Trump wins again. He never follows any rules and I fear, as he attacks others, no one else will follow any rules either as America collapses and fight back against him and the gang of thugs..........
With 50% of US voters saying they wouldn’t vote for Biden, I’m not sure that this is a poetic evening. It is too early to call tonight’s results, some are promising, others not so much. This is not what Democrats needed tonight, and I hope I’ll awaken tomorrow to outstanding results. But for now, my day is over. I wish you a good night, and may we remain good neighbors for a very long time.
yes, today is a telling moment - we must believe Trump cannot prevail through minions running to help him come back to further ruination. Great segment.
I don't know Steve personally. I understand how disappointed people are in him for his recent decision to work on the Dean Phillips campaign.
But, have you seen the polls?
I know the polls aren't the final word, and that they've been unreliable the past few years, but they're consistently showing that voters don't want a rematch, that the majority of voters believe Biden is too old, and that if the vote were held today, all the swing states would go for Trump resulting in his victory.

Right On, Max! Thanks.

As important to our democracy as FDR❤️
Grateful, Marsha
Yes Dems do need more aggressive messaging!!

Crazy uncle, that everyone ignores. It’s old dude being himself. He’s harmless?
Biden can win. ;-)
Max thanks for your thoughtful comments but maybe you’re
Knowledgeable about the backing
That This man Harlan Criw gave to Justice Thomas with questionable
Donations…one photo of Harlan Crow with Justice Thomas at some retreat The woods were beautiful
BUT there happened to be NAZI
Memorabilia openly in the photo
I’m sure Steve wasn’t aware of this before he began working for Crow to get Phillips elected but I don’t
Think Steve would have ever been
Connected to someone who collects and openly is proud of his
Nazi collection.. can you educate me? Marsha

Hi Linda, do you have a strong hunch that Biden will withdraw from the race?
I did, but after reading a recent editorial on Medium, I'm backing away from that expectation. sorry I don't remember the writer.
Polls a year out are about as relevant as a weather forecast of the same timeframe.
Are you opposed to a democratic candidate challenging Biden?
I’m hoping that today’s election results will prove the polls wrong and put this all behind us. Yes, sometimes I wear my rose-colored glasses to forget about Trump.
Carol Ann Murphy I don’t trust polls especially early polls …my heart ache’s Steve’s gifts in writing
Don’t t feel he Ever got behind and supporting and explaining ALL
BIDEN has ACHIEVED he has been awesome and in history will be honored long after I’m in heaven
BIDEN was honored in a post on Rick Wilson’s Substack that made me proud and I subscribed to him
Everyone that supports our country should read his artlcle Re BIDEN✅

Just the thought of Trump gaining power again is scary as hell! Something must be done to stop him and the remainder of MAGA now!
BIDEN OR BUST.

Has my vote 2024,, Marsha
I endorse this
Relax everyone! Andy Beshear (D) won tonight in Kentucky. According to NBC, the party of the victor in the last five Kentucky gubernatorial races correctly predicted the winner of the following year's vote for President. Hey, I'll take my good news wherever I can get it.
Steve: How about a video where you sit down with a few Trump supporters and let them air their grievances. Respectfully. Not those loons on YouTube, but hardworking Americans who feel the way you’ve expressed here today. Will they see the con once you reveal what’s around the corner? Will it be a preview of what Jack Smith will face if he has to convince just one Trump supporter?
I wouldn’t worry so much re the polls right now. Trump is going to get convicted on multiple felonies and that along with a Women’s basic right to control their health decisions should be more than enough to sink the burnt orange wannabe dictator…. There does need to be better messaging…..Steve…..after Phillips drops out, I hope you go back to helping Biden beat Trump!
I believe every word you said. Trump and his henchmen, should he win, will gleefully punish anyone and everyone who dared oppose or expose him. And yet, he continues to somehow convince millions that he would be great for the country. It’s a constant worry in my household. I marvel at the lies he regularly gets away with. I have seriously considered moving to Canada to protect my family from his likely cruel and illegal misdeeds. My husband is an Army veteran. So is my father (but Navy), but dad despises Biden and practically worships Trump. I’m at a loss, to be perfectly honest. All of my siblings along with our father think Trump is a great leader, and while my father is not a college graduate, his 6 children are. I’m the only one who was educated away from our hometown. I believe that neither my dad or any of my siblings know how to think. Fox says it, good enough. We were bred with a hatred of Democrats. I’m the only one who revolted. What to do?
Just jumping on here one last time to reiterate that today’s polling means little. Polls had Andy Beshear and Daniel Cameron here in Kentucky in a “dead heat” right before the election. It was not close. Stop living and dying by the polls and don’t let them scare you. Unfortunately, some have made bad decisions because of them. Good-bye.
If Trump wins America will collapse. He will focus on what he always does. Himself and anyone he hates and wants to strike back at and attack. He will not give one damn about governing and helping Americans. His goons will focus on destroying every part of democracy that they are able to. And the great American democratic experiment will die at the hands of a sick old man and his goons who only cares about himself and themselves and those that kiss his rear end. And then even his supporters will see that they hitched their wagon to a self destructive sick old man who destroyed them and us and himself. It will get real ugly real fast all across America if Trump wins again. He never follows any rules and I fear, as he attacks others, no one else will follow any rules either as America collapses and fight back against him and the gang of thugs..........
Max as this evening comes to gently
Come to rest I must gratefully give you
My heartfelt respect and thanks and your
Gratitude for Biden is same as mine ..
With hugs, Marsha:) you made my soul
Feel good tonight … BIDEN 2024 YES❤️
With 50% of US voters saying they wouldn’t vote for Biden, I’m not sure that this is a poetic evening. It is too early to call tonight’s results, some are promising, others not so much. This is not what Democrats needed tonight, and I hope I’ll awaken tomorrow to outstanding results. But for now, my day is over. I wish you a good night, and may we remain good neighbors for a very long time.
yes, today is a telling moment - we must believe Trump cannot prevail through minions running to help him come back to further ruination. Great segment.
