Donald Trump ramps up campaign attack machine with Steve Bannon
Newsday ^ | Aug. 17, 2016 | E.J. Dionne

Posted on 08/17/2016 4:58:37 PM PDT by Innovative

If you thought the old Donald Trump campaign was wild and crazy, just wait for the new Trump campaign now that Breitbart’s Steve Bannon has taken over as chief executive.

The new leadership — with Bannon and pollster Kellyanne Conway displacing Paul Manafort at the top of the heap — is likely to steer Trump even more in the direction of the European far right. It also tells you something that Bannon sees Sarah Palin, about whom he made a laudatory documentary, as a model for anti-establishment politics.

Judging from Bannon’s history, Trump’s campaign will become even harsher in its attacks on Hillary Clinton and work hard to insinuate anti-Clinton stories into the mainstream media.

And count on Trump to ramp up his appeals to Bernie Sanders’ supporters and the left. Pushing his anti-Clinton film “Clinton Cash” in May, Bannon said he wanted progressives to “understand how the Clintons, who proclaim that they support all your values, essentially have sold you out for money.”

Why?

I thought Hillary is now set to measure the drapes for the Oval Office.

Didn’t E.J Dionne get the message the shakeup means the Trump campaign is sinking and it means Hillary will win!

And if she is going to win, a Trump campaign shakeup will not help him turn things around.

Right, E.J?

Thanks, to Trump, this election continues to be one of the best ever.

This has to be sending chills up any back bones left in the GOPe, the DNC and Clinton’s thugs.

I couldn’t help but think while reading this of the differences between the two men, the author and the subject. Effete, lisping, lefty loon AJ and complete total badass naval officer, investment banker, Clinton killer, Bannon. Never, on one piece of paper will you find two, so different.

“Trump’s campaign will become even harsher in its attacks on Hillary Clinton”

Please, God. Let it be so.

They say Bannon is smart and ruthless, and I hope he crushes the nasty old hag to smithereens.

Trump adopted a pitbull who hates Democrats...and who understands how the media operates.

Liberals are all taking a wel- deserved pee...and they are sitting down to keep from falling over.

Bannon runs with Citizens United too so you might get him and David Bossie on Sunday shows fanning out instead of what we’ve been seeing.

E.J. Dionne is truly demented. Before this piece I thought he was just a garden variety left-wing a-hole, but this article is studded with a bunch of the stupidest statements I have seen this side of Noam Chomsky.

I didn't know much about Bannon before today, but according to this artice he is a phenomenon, and will be a tremendous addition to Team Trump:

Who is Steve Bannon?

Liberals are genuinely brainwashed. They can't help it.

They are under the Strong Delusion.

His morning show on Sirius XM Patriot Channel 125 was awesome. Especially the callers. There would be times when I went to work earlier than usually, and then sit in my van listening to him 5 minutes before going into the building.
