Michael Steele: Trump 'Resonates' With Voters In 'Uncomfortable' Ways
Much of what Donald Trump says "resonates" both inside and outside the Republican Party, former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said Wednesday, and what he says "throws a monkey wrench" in the predictability most candidates rely on.
"He is unpredictable," Steele said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program. "The other piece of it, though, is he has base support. He has an energy on the ground."
While Trump has come under some fire over statements he made concerning the Mexican border and immigrants in his campaign announcement on Tuesday, "there are a lot of folks who look at the Mexican border the way he pronounced it yesterday," Steele said.
"I think that affords him the opportunity to not only be on that stage, but to say something that is going to make the party very uncomfortable over the next few months."
Steele noted that there are concerns among establishment leaders that Trump's campaign will become a circus, or "more about the cult of personality than actually running for the presidency of the United States," and if Trump follows the approach that he showed in Tuesday's speech, that could happen.
