Speaking with host Stephanie Ruhle, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee was asked about NBCs bombshell report that an ex-Soviet agent met with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort in Trump Tower on June 9th.

I think it works along the lines of a general belief that no one will know what actually happened because there was no third party source to validate or corroborate who was in the meeting, Steele began. But, you know, we have a press corps, we have individuals as weve learned in this administration who do like to talk. And that information gets out the drip, drip, drip. Ive said it now for six months, the drip, drip, drip from this campaign and now into this administration will be its death knell, and it rings every frigging day for the Republican Party, and they better wake their butts up.

Theyre scared of one-tenth of 1 percent of a base that is lockstep with Donald Trump, and the leadership is frozen, Steele replied as his voice rose and he began to tick off the lack of any progress the Republicans have made since taking over the White House and both houses of Congress. They have cement around their feet and they refuse to move. They cant get an agenda passed, seven years on health care? This is a joke. Infrastructure wont happen, tax reform? Forget about it.
Because the focus right now is on getting to the bottom of the crap that is building up around this administration that is weighing down the party. If they dont wake up, there will be no party going into next year, he concluded.

More like a MAJORITY of the "base" of the Repuke Party have collectively lost their minds. After years of brain washing by the likes of Hannity and Limpballs, the alt right has convinced some 15 to 20 percent of the PEOPLE (voting age) that the MSM lies to them, that DJT is their Savior and is almost GOD like, and that all Democrats and "libtards" are evil people out to enslave them.

(4,605 posts)I know it's wrong to generalize or stereotype, but I have to question why any American black person would choose to affiliate with the Republican Party (pre-Trump or now). Or in Mr. Steele's case, take a senior leadership position. It's kind of like "Jews for Hitler".
