sheep-dodger posted:This is such an incredibly dumb thing to say about the candidate that aggressively and openly campaigned for progressive goals, was endorsed and supported by Sanders, and won on the strength and popularity of that platform. Sure the same guy "doesn't want Floridians to look too closely". Specifically, right-wingers think they've got a Gotcha against Gillum because one guy on his government while he was Tally's mayor was corrupt. And they may very well be right, when it comes to people who were never going to vote for him anyway.

Corsair Pool Boy posted:It's covered in racist poo poo, but contains a decent burn on Steele. I have no idea how he ended up chairing the RNC. He was given the job in 2009, and delivered the 2010 victory, the only thing that has allowed them to not be crushed by their losses in the popular vote ever since. Hes by a wide margin the most competent person to have held that job in ages. Then, because hes black, they kicked his rear end to the curb and gave it to a dumbass white guy. It's pretty insulting to act like Steele never accomplished anything. predicto posted:He was a token choice made back when the GOP liked to at least pretend that it was racially inclusive. No, he's the exact opposite of that. He's the most qualified and capable man for the job, who got cut after he achieved a historic victory because the GOP couldn't stand black men having authority in their own party.

That's why Michael Steele is always on MSNBC. He knows the GOP refuses to acknowledge him or anything he's done, so he pretty much lives on Nicolle Wallace's show along with Steve Schmidt and just trashes Trump and the current party. It owns a lot.

Someone (brietbart obviously) just dug up a 10 year old video of Obama giving a speech and said something to the extent of 'both parties have mokyed up politics in the past, not just the Republicans' So now predictably freep is parroting "see, blacks and Obama are the real racists" and "of course it's different when democrats do it, we're so persecuted by the media" Context doesn't matter.

It owns a lot. If they limit their discussions to Trump, sure. Rick Wilson's a goddamn national treasure if you limit what he can opine about. When they ask the never-Trumpers about progressivism? Not so much. Like Schmidt was having a minor panic attack after AOC won her primary.

I'm not saying that Steele wasn't competent, intelligent, and effective for the GOP - he absolutely was. But he was not the "most qualified" person for the job when he got it. He had been Leiutenant Governor of in a blue state) (the Democrats lost that election because the Governor divorced his wife to marry his secretary), and he was an unsuccessful senatorial candidate. The GOP leadership chose Steele because Obama had just been elected and they wanted to establish their own minority cred. That was why 2 of the 4 candidates for the job were black. But you absolutely are right about why they fired him. He was too pigmented for the GOP base to accept.

Soviet Russia created film editing and their poster art was extremely influential on the world of graphic design. The CIA had to dump a bunch of money into lovely Warhol paintings to try to catch up.

Steele was fired because the grassroots crazies (and the politicians who were afraid of the grassroots) turned on him and he authorized a ton of wasteful spending that pissed off donors. He said that Rush Limbaugh was just an entertainer and had no role in Republican Party, made some comments about how the Republican Party could accidentally seem racist sometimes and they were fixing it, and made some pro-immigration noises. Then, he had that infamous Strip Club party/fundraiser that lost money, spent $17k on a private jet, $13k for limo services, and booked a hotel penthouse that cost $9k for two nights. Once the crazies and donors had something to use against him, about 5 other people jumped into the chairman race and he lost.
