“The RNC chair is not a path to the Oval Office.”
“What’s your point?”
The point is obvious. Sarah as Chair would open the door for Steele to run as Prez. Better to leave him where he can do the least harm.
Of course, the movers and shakers in the party are much too obtuse to see the consequences of their actions or, for that matter, to do anything that would define the party as conclusively conservative. Do not look for them to offer Sarah anything but the back of their hand.
Steele for president? Because he's shown himself to be such as good administrator? That's a joke, right?
