Ex-Republican Unleashes Epic Rant On The "Irredeemable" GOP: "It’s Become A Threat To America" And An "Organized Conspiracy"
Steve Schmidt is a smart, learned, insightful man who knows American (and world) history as well as the inner workings of The Republican Party following decades of service as a Republican consultant/strategist and manager of John McCain's campaign.
We have come to this...
In broad terms, either American conservatism has become corrupt and no longer values the cornerstone importance of Truth.
Or American liberalism has become corrupt and no longer values the cornerstone importance of Truth.
The overwhelming majority of people who read history align with the liberal view (which has become Steve Schmidt's view) that American conservatism is irredeemably corrupt.
Of course, American "conservatives" will immediately disdain/discard learned people as despicable "intellectual elites." However, to understand the bedrock nature of the "intellectual elites," read this meme:

Then we have lifelong Republican Pat Buchanan's summarization of "the Republican philosophy."
Republican presidential candidate, Pat Buchanan, the living American who has served longest as a White House senior staff adviser, observed: “The Republican philosophy might be summarized thus: To hell with principle; what matters is power, and that we have it, and that they do not.” “Where the Right Went Wrong" http://www.amazon.com/Where-Right-Went-Wrong-Neoconservatives/dp/0312341156/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381295072&sr=8-1&keywords=where+the+right+went+wrong
As for the cruelty that has infected American conservatism as a defining Trump World characteristic, here is a pertinent link, plus a penetrating observation by Carl Jung.
