Priebus increasingly likely to seek 4th term

Steele is a good guy, but he wasn't the best fit for this particular job.

He made gaffes. He said he wasn't sure if Republicans deserved to win 2010. He bought expensive clothes on the company card, if I remember correctly. There was something he did every other week that was paraded around the media as a ridiculous gaffe.

He's much better as a MSNBC guest.


(And I was never impressed with Kaine as DNC chair)

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

OK, once again, we can't give chairs all the credit or lay all the blame on them. DWS was not a good chair because 2012 election turned out fine. She was a bad chair because she was utterly divisive figure within the party with questionable loyalty to the President (Iranian deal everyone?) Dean was an excellent chair, while Kaine was pretty much not very impressive one.

To repeat: in presidential election year there comes a point, usually immediately after the convention if primaries aren't a mere formality (like it was in 2012 for Democrats), when both DNC and RNC are taking back seat to the candidate's campaign organization. They have much more freedom to act in midterm years.

Steele was an incompetent buffoon the GOP nominated in panicked response to the first black president to show they "got it". It worked about as well as could be expected under the circumstances--i.e. not at all.

And now, by putting Trump at the top of the ticket, they're showing that not only do they not "get it", they have no desire to and actually take pride in not doing so.

His 4th term seems secure.
