Steele has urgently to focus on winning on elections. He has his work cut out... this feud isn’t going to help anyone but the Dems and I hope we get over this. Lesson for everyone in the RNC: you don’t attack your base!
he needs to leave!!! The sooner the better

First, with all due respect please don’t use the word “base” when “voters”, “supporters”, “members”, “constituents”, or even “other Republicans” will work just as well.
The term “base” is a highly insulting marketing term designed to reduce fellow Republicans and conservatives into some kind of amorphous statistical abstraction, which is exactly and precisely the problem the RNC has been having for many years now. When we are “the base”, we’re no longer thinking and autonomous fellow conservatives. (You don’t want to hear my theories of anthropology, linguistics, and mass communications.)
In any case....
For the last decade or two the RNC has had an increasingly difficult time being responsive to standard unhyphenated normal conservatives.
I don’t know what the solution to that is, but insulting Rush goes in the exact and precise opposite direction of “success”.
