Michael Steele has been vocal in his reservations about Trump

This week, former chair of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele has made it clear that he would have no problem with vocal Trump supporters leaving the GOP altogether to organize an entirely new political party.

“You’ve got the national [Republican] leadership making their way down to Mar-a-Lago [Trump’s residence in Florida] to confer with Trump,” Steele pointed out Monday morning during a segment on MSNBC. The former GOP leader praised Republican Representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois for taking a stand against the former president’s movement.

“Same with voting for a white person because they’re ‘white’.”

Actually, one can make a case for whites voting based on race, as even Justice Thomas went tribal once (years ago, though). The Left is scared to death of whites going tribal, because they know it will bring back the America of old, the free country that told the Socialists to get lost.

Of COURSE he’s still black, because he voted for
Biden. Remember when Biden said “If you don’t vote for me you aint black”?

The anti-Trump rabble are the distinct minority in the party, so why don't *they* leave?

Trump should have made it early about School Choice

Yes I totally agree and don't know why we made no school reform progress in 4 years under Betsy.

One out of every six black men voted for Trump.

40% of Hispanics voted FOR Trump.

We don’t need to ‘go tribal’. We need to stay true to our Judeo-Christian values and to the American Constitution that binds us as one people.

Worst GOP Chairman ever!
This fool should be paying us back for all the contributions he took while he was in the RNC Chair position.
How much money has he taken from the Dem billionaires?

Actually that is what ‘going tribal’ means for whites in the US...after all, who wrote the US Constitution? But we’ve been hammered so much by the media that we feel supporting our own race means that we want to enslave others, when in fact all it means is that want to maintain this country for what is NOW (or at least until recently), not go back hundreds of years.

I’m sick of being told to be ‘ashamed’ of my skin color and I’m not going to sit back and let others keep attacking me over it.

Cause she was status quo

That was the problem

But School Choice would have been a winning issue

(and could have turned into a race issue, but let the media and the public draw those conclusions cause that is the best way to win that mindset over)

I think it’s a good idea, we leave the party, but we will also carry the logo and mascot. :D

And for every new black vote Trump gained

He lost 2 blue collar votes

It was a net loss that lost him the election.

Pandering does not work, period

He can talk about issues that affect black America with out mentioning race, if he did that, he would be president today.

Nobody cares about historic black colleges except for militant black commies that would never vote Trump anyways

However school choice, everybody wants that, white, black, hispanic, poor, middle class, rich, urban, suburban, rural

keep race and class out of the discussion and it would have been the 2020 winning issue.

Problem was Trump allowed dems to make 2020 about race and that is why we lost
