Michael Steele on the Future of the Republican Party

Michael Steele talked about the Republican National Committee’s release of its “Growth and Opportunity Report” analysis of the reasons the party suffered losses in the 2012 elections, and he responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. He also reviewed the previous week’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and offered his own assessment of the party’s future. He said Republicans should learn to speak the “language” of the group they are addressing, explaining that the message would be the same “but translated differently.” He gave the example that party candidates and officials when talking before a group of government employees should speak of increasing governmental efficiency rather than reducing the size of government.
