Republican Steve Schmidt comes to his senses

Schmidt has been a strong, vocal critic of Dump all along, as well as any Repugnantan that supports Dump. But separating immigrant children from their parents was the last straw. After almost 30 years he decided to quit the Party. In his own words it's about maintaining democracy and decency, two things the GOP has long ago abandoned:

"Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the party of Trump [...] corrupt, indecent and immoral. [...] This child separation policy is connected to the worst abuses of humanity in our history. It is connected by the same evil that separated families during slavery and dislocated tribes and broke up Native American families. It is immoral and must be repudiated. Our country is in trouble. Our politics are badly broken. The first step to a season of renewal in our land is the absolute and utter repudiation of Trump and his vile enablers in the 2018 election by electing Democratic majorities. I do not say this as an advocate of a progressive agenda. I say it as someone who retains belief in DEMOCRACY and decency."
