... but back in Chump's first term Mr. Steele seemed to adopt a "wait and see" attitude.

He waited, he saw, and he said, "I''m out." Good for him!

We just need anyone to start actually acting like this is serious. Use cuss words, scream. Pound the desk. I will follow him or AOC, Pritzker, or really anyone with some fight. The DNC needs to get organized NOW.

It'll take a lot to change my mind, and the first thing they need to do is apologize for all the people knocked off the voter rolls in Florida and stopping the vote count.

The second thing they need to apologize for is the Bush regime purposely ignoring the Gore Commission report on airline security which led directly to 9/11.

The third thing they need to apologize for is the Roberts/Alito Supreme Court.

Michael Steele and Nicolle Wallace can grandstand all they want now, but until they apologize for those things, like I said, DTM.

Robbing Gore of the election set off a series of catastrophic events.

It also was devastating to the environment, a side issue now. They both supported W. Acting holier than thou now without an apology to those of us who were right in 2000 is an insult.

and "Swift Boat Liars for Bush" character assassination you soundly describe, assume people have forgot the defining moment of Scalia's December 12, 2000 coup.

I only hope his Heritage Foundation Vacation Package(s) was/were worth his treason, especially the one where he left the 9 kids and wife home, and was found dead in his vacation getaway bed.

Steele seems to be a better spokesperson than most of the Democratic Leaders who seem to be fighting this government takeover with nothing but social media posts, making boring speeches, yapping about the price of eggs and "kitchen table issues", and writing stern letters.
