He made a deal with the devil. Let him revel in his contract and be discarded with the rest of them.
Steele sold his soul when he decided he would start his commentating career and started making just stupid comments
First good news out of RNC in years!
Steele is at MSNBC? That explains why I haven’t seen him in ages and why he doesn’t exist. No one sees him.
Grand old GOP loyalty at play again. I guess the GOP’s upset that Steele didn’t marginalize the Tea Party enough. Left them a lot of catch-up work to do like redistricting Allen West out of existence and banning him and other real conservatives like Palin and Gingrich from the convention.
The successes of 2010 were due to 1 - Obama.2 - the tea party. Steele was a bystander. Preibus accepted the tea party in Wis. That’s why he’s chairman and partly why Ryan is VP selection.
Steele was a walking, breathing gaffe
Steele should not feel bad. A better man than him who did more for Conservatism than Steele could ever dream of,was not invited either. Of course, I am talking about Sarah Palin who has more testosterone than Team Mittens and all the Pubbie elite snobs put together.
And now he can't keep his mouth shut. He's gotta whine to the press about being mistreated cuz’ no one will talk to him. I'm sure it's your skin color...couldn't be because you were a train wreck of a chairman.

Steele can KMA.
Michael Steele not only proved himself to be an ineffectual spokesman, he was afflicted with a serious case of foot in mouth disease which plagued his entire chairmanship. His appointment reflected the vacuousness of the Republican Party which began with the second term of the Bush administration. The victories of 2010 were accomplished not under the guidance of Michael Steele but in spite of his unfocused and even chaotic leadership by the spontaneous upwelling of the Tea Party.
His appointment was all the more unfortunate at the time because the Republican Party controlled no branch of the federal government having lost The House as well as the Senate and the White House. This meant that the party chairman would have to play a very prominent role as a counterpoint to the president, to the Majority Leader of the Senate, to the Speaker of the House. We chose a spokesperson because of his color rather than his forensic skills.
He not only fell short in the public arena but in the behind-the-scenes nuts and bolts business of raising money and rebuilding the party as well.
Many of us pleaded time and again on this forum for his removal.
Why in the world does Byron York think that Steele had anything to do with these great TEA Party victories? Talk about totally out of touch.
The TEA Party saved the GOP while Steele was grossly mismanaging its finances.
And now he has a job as a token Republican at MSNBC. That tells you a lot about his credentials.
He is invisible for a very good reason ... there is nothing there.
“But those 63 seats in the House did happen. They may want to ignore me, but they dont want to ignore what I did.”
The idea that Steele the the GOPe had much to do with those seats is laughable. Those seats came about because of the TEA Party movement and came despite the GOPe’s best efforts to undercut it.
The rest of what I think about Steele is best left unsaid.
I donated to steele's run for MD gov but was really disappointed at his mealy mouthed campaign and his "defense" of pubbies has been sickening.
I wouldn't let him clean the toilets.
ok - here’s my prediction. Trump is going to introduce Sarah Palin as a “surprise” speaker.
For what, may I ask?
Steele proved to be a worthless RINO and a useless leader. He deserves obscurity as do so many GOPe.
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.
