I don’t know if Steele stepping down would help or hurt, honestly.
Steele has been a big disappointment, of course. He’s not come across well in most of the interviews I’ve seen, and I don’t think he’s done the best job getting the Republican party moving forward. Some Republicans have done well, but that’s been as much about backlash against the Democrats’ early bungling as anything. November presents a huge opportunity for the GOP, and I’m not sure Steele is the guy who can make the most of it.
OTOH, Steele may be the best we can hope for in the short term. Toppling the RNC chair just six or seven months before a crucial off-year election probably won’t solve anything, and could be disastrous. Anyone who steps in will have to move quickly to get himself established in the role in order to be effective by November. And not all of the issues plaguing the party (RINO’s etc) will simply vanish with Steele’s resignation. It may be better for the GOP to go into November with the cards it’s holding, and deal with any needed changes after the election.
The very fact that they are currently NOT Democrats is ONLY reason why “Republicans” are doing so well.
Steele has pretty much disappeared. In fact, this is the very best thing that can happen for our chances to take back the government. Conservatives are moving themselves forward on their own merit.
The entire RNC needs to be abolished immediately!
