No serious person would credit Steele with the 2010 gains....we made those gains in spite of his anti conservative tirades!!

... to honor GOP chairman Reince Priebus

For what, may I ask?

Well stated.

Steele proved to be a worthless RINO and a useless leader. He deserves obscurity as do so many GOPe.

” here’s my prediction. Trump is going to introduce Sarah Palin as a “surprise” speaker.”

Does that mean Morning Joe got bumped? Breaks my heart.

I’ll believe in the RNC again when Alan West is its chairman, Michele Bachmann heads the House Un-American Committee, Greg Gutfeld is keynote speaker, and Palin and Rubio are running mates. One is free to shuffle those names around as you will.

Wouldn’t hurt to put Daniel Hannan and Lord Monckton on the podium as well to really ritz it up.

I lost respect for Steele when he cozied up to Al Sharpton and NAN, no one can con a con man and Sharpton is that as well as a criminal.

ok - here’s my prediction. Trump is going to introduce Sarah Palin as a “surprise” speaker.

That would be a surprise! I hope it happens! :)

I had high hopes early on for Steele when he ran for Senate in Maryland. The dems hated him, called him an Oreo and worse.

Overall though, he has been a disappointment.

One thing I like was his rally cry at the 2008 Republican Convention; “Drill, Baby, Drill!”. People assume Sarah Palin started that, but it was actually Steele.

I also respected and supported Steele until this Sharpton thing, didn't know that "Drill, Baby, Drill" was started by him.

Are Republican National Committee Donors Now Bankrolling Sharpton?

[smoothsailing]

Supporting Sharpton is inexcusable, the man is a lowlife criminal. Steele has compounded that idiocy by popping up as an analyst on MSNBC. No wonder the RNC wants him to go away.

The “Drill, Baby, Drill” was a good thing, but it took Sarah Palin to pick it up and run with it to really get it to catch on.

I, too, heard the party chairman, Priebus, say on Mark Levin’s show that Sarah Pain WAS invited but she declined. Still, no other conservatives are included. I blame Romney for that.
