“We do a lot of losing with him.”
With those eight words, former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele on Friday spelled out why he believes the GOP needs to reject former President Donald Trump and all forms of so-called Trumpism.
At his core, Trump “is a carnival-barking reality TV show character who happened to stumble into the White House with the help of a lot of Americans, some of whom want to put him back there,” Steele told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace.
Those in the GOP should have a “come-to-their-heart moment” and reject Trumpism “as a part of our Republican story because it’s not electable,” said Steele.
“The party is sitting there at the docks waiting for a ship to leave that’s got a thousand holes in it,” he added.
