the most strident voices against Trump were those I’d worked with in the Bush campaigns: Michael Gerson, now a Washington Post columnist; Nicolle Wallace, who has her own show on MSNBC; Steve Schmidt, who ran rapid response for the 2004 Bush campaign; Matthew Dowd, who coordinated polling in the 2000 campaign and was a 2004 strategist turned ABC regular; and Mark McKinnon, who, along with Karl Rove, brought me into the Bush world and now has a show, The Circus, on Showtime.
