A Democrat Senator’s boyfriend can run a gay prostitution ring out of his apartment and nothing is said. Yet, a GOP donor can rack up a measly $2000 strip club bill and we get this.

Fair enough! Learn from being a RINO and move on as you wish! Until that time no donations to the RNC!

Mistake #1 , and his biggest. Saying the Republicans can’t win back either House in November.

***** no donations to the RNC!*****

How exactly will that help good GOP candidates who need support and funding?

I suspect that the mistakes he has made are inherent in his nature, he just doesn’t relate to people across the republican spectrum. This seems to be a common problem with the RNC, they do not understand Mayberry folks at all.

It will convince them that IF they don't press for Steele's removal, then they'll all be a moot point. Feed the beast and Steele will hang around. Cut it off for a couple of months while it's still early, and too many people with enough influence will insist that he go and we'll have enough time to pick up funding well in time for those worthy candidates. Not only this, but if there's a worthy GOP candidate, send them a check directly. But we should definitely not send any donations to the GOP at a national level until Steele is gone.

Yup - that is a splendid tactical maneuver. Your quarterback has the ball - but he’s so bad you want him off the team - so IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME - you strip the ball and hand it to the opposing team.

It sounds like we are using an MSM playbook - sponsored by the Democrats.

We? You and your flea? :-) What world are you from where the GOP has done you any favors lately? Unless Steele and those like him are removed, the situation is not likely to improve...and unless people such you and I are willing to put some real pressure on them, they aren't going to change willingly. If not for the Tea Party movement, the GOP would still be nothing more than Democrat-Lite anyway.

You need to take me seriously. There are too many people like me who could screw the pooch in November if we're not satisfied with the GOP, and we won't be fear mongered. Take it for what it's worth, but take it seriously. This way, if things don't work in November the way you think they should have, you'll at least save yourself the frustration of being ignorant as to why it happened.

Steele has to go.
