    Steele, the former Republican National Committee chairman, will not vote for Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee.

    He made the announcement Thursday at a San Francisco dinner hosted by the liberal-leaning Mother Jones magazine, according to BuzzFeed.

    Trump, said Steele, has “captured that racist underbelly, that frustration, that angry underbelly of American life and gave voice to that.”

    “I was damn near puking during the debates,” said Steele, adding that he believes Trump represents only 30% of the Republican Party.

    Bill Mitchell ‏@mitchellvii
    NC early voting in NC for Democrats DOWN 11% over 2012. Romney won NC in 2012.

    He won't need the support.

    Looks like dem voter turn out is following primaries trends. Going down.

    Can we make one of those bets where you leave the board on Nov 9?

    I know you will just come back like jopatmc, but it will provide a fitting end to the story arc.

    I'll even give you a spread.

    Speaking of JOPAT, does he really think Trump is going to win but won't post about it after The Great Poster Meltdown of 2012 or has he learned his lesson?

    When trump says he has support from "the blacks", does this development mean he can only say he has support from "the black"?

    Come on, guys. Steele is a Negro. Obviously biased against Trump.

    I respect Steele for sticking by his values and basic political instincts if thinking beyond two weeks from now, but after this and his RNC run he may need to switch parties if he wants to keep working.
