Michael Steele, the former Chair of the Republican National Committee came out today with an endorsement of Joe Biden.
He said on Morning Joe today that it was a very difficult decision because he's always been a 'small c' conservative and strongly supports Republican agendas a lot more than Democrat ones. But, he said that leadership and character matter and likened it to being a parent of a Straight A student. He said you may have a "Straight A" kid but if his teacher told you he was picking fights with other kids in the school yard or a neighbor came to your door and said she saw him deliberately trash her flower garden, you'd be concerned. You wouldn't say, "Well, he's a Straight A student, so it's all good." We don't parent that way -- and we shouldn't 'departmentalize' our leaders that way either. I thought it was a pretty compelling argument.
