Desperation of leadership, desperation for ideas, desperation for a way to move the country forward and embrace its diversity.

Since when has the GOP wanted any of those things?

I’m still unclear to see how they’ve fallen, in their eyes. This is likely everything they’ve wanted for a long, long time.

'Cause it just pisses them off."

(Especially Joey.)

Sorry, Michael, you were a Republican all through the slide into fascism, when any decent person would have left the party. You don’t get to wash the Trump off your hands now.

Traditionally, a president who loses a re-election campaign is DONE

Democrats were not competing with each other to demonstrate their loyalty to Jimmy Carter in 1981

Finally, he gives his best line of all, when asked if he is still a Republican. “Yes I am, and you know why? 'Cause it just pisses them off.”

Which makes him the perfect GOP member, he’s only in the party to piss people off.

Look at this asshole. He thinks he’s still relevant. Even when he was the RNC Chair he was completely irrelevant and ineffectual.

“My, how the mighty have fallen…”

They didn’t have far to fall.

The preceding is a complete sentence.

Mikey and Lizzy directly built the beast that they’re now trying to disown.

Nibbling crow in public like this isn’t an automagic reset on their credibility.

They didn’t have far to fall.

Nor were they ever mighty.

I don’t watch Bill Maher’s show much anymore, but years ago Steele was a regular panelist on it. In that venue at least, Steele never struck me as a particularly bright individual. He was always reduced to uncomfortable giggling when whatever or position he took was easily trounced by the other guests (many of whom had far less political experience or knowledge than one would assume the RNC Chair would).
