In football terms, it's still early in the first quarter.   But it's not too soon to call a timeout on the Republican side and have a talk about how we're playing the game, because it doesn't look good right now.    Polls show President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in a dead heat. But the Trump campaign and the GOP are making some baffling strategic decisions that could squander any advantages and hurt candidates down the ballot.   Trump has overhauled the Republican National Committee's leadership, naming his inexperienced daughter-in-law co-chair and forcing key staffers to reapply for their jobs when they should be focused on work. Fundraising is withering, as Republicans have drained small donors and Trump has focused on his mounting legal fees. Instead of pivoting to woo swing voters, the campaign is doubling down on red meat.   This is a preview of Michael Steele's latest article.
