NEW YORK — A “Ronald Reagan-type Republican” would not be able to win a current GOP primary, former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele predicted.

Speaking about the brokenness of the political system at a private Manhattan club Friday morning, Steele said that, once former President Ronald Reagan “stepped off the grand national stage,” the Republican Party began the fight over who “would carry this mantle” — a quest that he said has yet to be fulfilled.

WASHINGTON - NOVEMBER 04: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele holds a news conference at the committee's headquarters on Capitol Hill November 4, 2009 in Washington, DC. 'Republicans won from the courthouse to the statehouse', Steele said while talking about GOP wins in yesterday's elections in New Jersey, Virginia and other races across the country.

“In fact, a Ronald Reagan-type Republican could not win a Republican primary today because of the gross misunderstanding of what Ronald Reagan was about and what Ronald Reagan, more importantly, did to come together,” Steele told those gathered at the Common Good Forum. “The consensus in the country around his candidacy, around his ideas, around the issues that he promoted is there were heated passions on both sides about a lot of that, but there remained in the context … a level of civility because the greater good was the nation, not the individual.”

During the discussion, Steele and fellow panelist former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Randell (D) noted that, out of all the presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle, only one had higher favorables than unfavorables — Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R).

“He was significantly in the positive, and it made a big difference to absolutely nobody,” Steele said to laughter.

Friday’s panel was moderated by Fox News’ Abby Huntsman.

      Is Light a Wave or a Particle?

      Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."

      Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

      It's truly disheartening when someone who is supposed to be a friend of the exclusive group resorts to using profanity in their comments, just like other members claiming to be witnesses. It's quite a ludicrous situation for the public to witness.  Yet, the "defense" of such a person, continues.

      No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)
