“It could be the downfall of Republican leaders”
It better be.
Steele is an embarrassment. I have seen NO improvement in conservative support from the established GOP leaders since they got shellacked and put through the sausage grinder in 2008. It would only take a half a brain to realize that playing “Democrat light” is not going to win elections. If Steele is the best they can do for a leader, the socialist Democrats stand to hold power for a long, long time.
