Steele happened to be in there, but had absolutely nothing to do with 10.
However you have to argue down the whole argument which is, to wit: The Republicans won an historic election. Steele was RNC Chairman at the time. Whatever it was he did contributed to that election, which was no ordinary election ~ and even if all he did was stand there on his thumbs, that was the right thing at that time, and it worked great.
Now, that's just the lead in to the feckless Preibus. Here we had the Republicans losing an historic election ~ the Democrats down 9 million votes, their lead candidate spinning off career ending scandals 24/7. No one in the Republican party standing in his way. Reince was the RNC Chairman at the time. Among other things he did were to cut off campaign funds to candidates who drew attention ~ guaranteeing a loss!
Well, there you have it ~ see, Mike looks like a genius compared to the doufous Preibus, and that's even if you hate mike and love Preibus
Time for Preibus to go back to Wisconsin.
