My Take
Steve Schmidt fascinates me because of his willingness to turn against his own side. A seasoned Republican campaign strategist, he co-founded the Lincoln Project to oppose Trump, then left and started the Save America Movement to keep fighting. Walking away from the team that made your career demands real conviction, and I respect that more than any consistency of label. His Eagle Scout background and University of Delaware roots hint at a man wired for duty. Whatever one thinks of his politics, I am drawn to the rare figure who values his own sense of right over institutional loyalty.
