The tweet comes after Steele suggested to Mother Jones’ David Corn that Trump is nearly irredeemable, specifically due to leaked audio from 2005 in which Trump bragged about sexually assaulting attractive women. (“Grab them by the pussy,” Trump said.)

“This is a devastating blow to the Trump campaign and to the party, and there is not much either can do to salvage it,” Steele told Mother Jones before the debate. “It almost doesn't matter what Trump does in the next debate.”

2. I thought Trump nasty and mean-spirited tonight

This was like starting a fight in a hockey game because you're
down by a few goals.

Sending your opponent to jail? Hate in your opponent's heart?
The stunt with your opponent's spouse?

That is not diplomacy, nor sublimation. It's not Hillary's fault
the Grab tape emerged this week, yet it looks like he's angry at
her for it.

This was not diplomacy, nor sublimation. This was nastiness. This
was not nice, and not presidential.
