Yeah, it's like a big: doh to say they have a racism problem in general. But the article is not exactly saying that, it's making a worthwhile point in how bad this guy is at handling it,i.e.: 

The Obama made me a racist card really doesn’t work. 

and the summary takeaway is good:

The message to a decent person like Michael Steele is that he doesn’t belong in Trump’s Republican Party, because the racists are running the GOP now, and their attitude of discrimination is why the Republican Party is dying a little more each day under Donald Trump.

Current conservative activists are so twisted and tempted by Trump's favorite trolling memes that they no longer want to grow the party. I would note that Trump's simplistic immigrant bashing in general, with his snake poem in his speech, was a big hit with them. That's no way to solicit support among main street business type immigrants that might be sympathetic to other parts of their platform.

It's like they care more about anti-political correctness than anything else.  The frat boy, Limbaugh thing.They forgot about how they need to be reaching out to some other kind of demographics, it's like they're deluded by him that they won a majority and now it's the "Conservative Defense Political Committee" instead of action. Half of the GOP in Congress are not with this cohort, they're splitting the party. The latter knows the future not in the 100% lily white male classic standard hits.

I've seen Steele on the tube from time to time, he's more than upset with the Trumpies.

I'll dial this back a bit - Michael Steele likely was chosen thinking his skin color would be a plus on top of his decades of work and stated positions and overall competence. Just like I think Obama's skin color was a plus by 2008, but only when considered as gravy on top of good speeches, organization, policy positions, a cool demeanor, Harvard degree and U of Chicago professorship, successful advocacy & activism, etc.

In a way it's a slight bit of justified affirmative action - otherwise, it'd be like the inbreeding of royalty in Europe - distinctly incestuous and unhealthy. Of course the GOP logic for Michael Steele was probably a good bit of cognitive dissonance and F.U. to Democrats, much as the promotion of Colin Powell and Clarence Thomas ever were.

Hal let the Koch brothers in on your conviction that Democrats and Republicans are really both the same.

 The Kochs could save the $400 million they are planning to spend this year to keep Republicans in control. Of course, most of what the Koch's spend is promoting the same big lies you do,  so I assume you wish them success.
