somewhat progressive and hates tfg. He thinks the son has no taste for billion dollar law suits and fascist prima donnas like hannity and ingraham. Schmidt thinks fux is a now failing corp, that will be handled poorly by the son who’s never lifted a finger in his life for anything.

I sure hope he’s right!

But what you say makes perfect sense, neither son has a taste for becoming involved as their father was - which is why the father said he'll still be watching and making "suggestions." And they still have another big lawsuit coming up, good luck with that.

I sure hope that Steve Schmidt is right, too! And we know exactly how he feels! My first exposure to Steve Schmidt was when he appeared on Nicolle Wallace's show and came out with the most anti-TFG rant that I'd ever heard!
