I’m not saying that Michael Steele isn’t a clown and a gaffe-machine, but he did just preside over a huge election night victory for the Republican Party. Sure, he had Citizen’s United and American Crossroads doing all the heavy lifting, but can’t a brother catch a break? There were even two African-Americans elected to Congress as Republicans in the Deep South. Doesn’t that count for something?
Personally, I think he’s a walking joke. But what metric are they using against him? That he didn’t bring in enough big-money donors? Don’t worry. Karl Rove has that covered. Steele won. He won big. And now the Establishment wants to throw him to the wayside. I say, let him keep his job. He didn’t totally fuck anything up, and that’s more than most Republicans can say.
