Former RNC chairman Michael Steele is the kind of Republican that MSNBC loves. He is more than willing to repeat the latest liberal talking points about President Trump. He continued that tradition on Thursday's MSNBC Live when he endorsed the latest scheme by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Harvard professor Laurence Tribe to refrain from delivering the articles of impeachment to the Senate until Senator Mitch McConnell gives into their demands for witnesses.

Steele completely ignored the language of the Constitution, which plainly states “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.” They don’t need to negotiate anything with Pelosi. But Steele touted Pelosi as having some “advantage” that she’s holding in her pocket.

Guest-host Chris Jansing began by asking Steele, "If this ends up being Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi going toe to toe, who’s got the advantage here How do you see this playing out?"

One of a number of great things about this Presidency is the Uniparty hacks voluntarily revealing themselves.

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele won’t back Trump
10/21/2016

Steele said Trump has “captured the racist underbelly, that frustration, that angry underbelly of American life and gave voice to that,” according to BuzzFeed.

“I was damn near puking during the debates,” Steele said.

Zero sum Democrat Nancy Pelosi has all the cards so nobody else has any to play. Seems that is what clown Steele is saying. More proof Steele is RINO, and the Democrats are just plain wrong again.
