Bannon responded to the position, saying, “I want to thank President-elect Trump for the opportunity to work with Reince in driving the agenda of the Trump Administration.”

“We had a very successful partnership on the campaign, one that led to victory,” Bannon added. “We will have that same partnership in working to help President-elect Trump achieve his agenda.”

“It is truly an honor to join President-elect Trump in the White House as his Chief of Staff,” Priebus stated of the annoucement. “I am very grateful to the President-elect for this opportunity to serve him and this nation as we work to create an economy that works for everyone, secure our borders, repeal and replace Obamacare and destroy radical Islamic terrorism. He will be a great President for all Americans.”

Sheesh, you guys think checkers. Trump is playing 3d chess. He “promoted Rancid Penis” so he could replace him with Kellyanne. He made Bannon chief of I don’t know what but Rancid is gonna be Bannons bitch. Rancid got promoted to Trump’s secretary. If you can’t see what is going on don’t comment.

Small minds. Sheesh.

When I heard that the Mike Church Show on XM 125 was being replaced by a new show from Breitbart, I tuned in on the first day, which was not tough because I had listened to Church on my morning drive.

Steve was hosting the show and did so until getting the nod from Trump to be the campaign CEO. I became a devote’ and learned a lot from his commentary and discussions with the callers.

Appointing Bannon does not demonstrate good instincts.

Bannon is my fave guy in the world. He owned Breitbart News befoe he sold it and joined Trump team as CEO. Brilliant political strategist. Trump was losing ground before Bannon was hired.

Breitart actually digs for news, as all news outfits should. Motto is: “ We’re honey badgers, we dig and dig and dig and don’t give a sh*t.”

I would want Bannon on my team, probably running the back room, where decisions are made and stuff gets done.

I’ve subscribed to them for years, and I too miss Steven K in the mornings. I have to admit, Alex is doing a great job!

Write to them, and let them know how you feel about Beck. However, you’ll only get a form letter back, about how they ‘value everyone’s opinion’ or some such drek.

My radio is turned off the Patriot channel every morning, when Beck’s show comes on.

Honestly, no, I had no idea. I rarely go to Breitbart because it messes up my old computer. But now I know!

Breitbart lives on .... In the Trump administration !

Kelly Ann ( for press secretary -— she’s done a great job of handling media so far) also Hope Hicks for media/news. When team is successful keep it going!

Preibus knows where and who has bodies buried in their back yard. Invaluable Plus RNC is at its strongest , thanks to DJT . A reshuffling might even make it stronger adding Trump people into the mix

Alla yall seem to have forgotten Priebus’s honored position as the head RINO. I am not keen on chameleons even if they look good right now.

Bloomberg doesn’t like him - that’s a good sign.

And Bannon doesn’t like Hillary NOR Jeb - another good sign.

Yeah, makes me feel better for Steve to be saying that about working with Priebus.

Why not?

Reince came through for President-Elect Trump when it counted, when that Billy Bush tape was released and all the pussy male candidates were falling over one another to abandon and denounce NOMINEE Trump and the females were trying to outdo Hillary!


Thankfully, that Ayotte was duly rewarded for her hysterical, uptight, oh so principled, "I am woman" - "I'm O-ffended to the point wherein I can-NOT support Mr. Trump" utterances!

Now, the MSM and corrupt insider GOP-e are trying to float rumors that President-Elect Trump is considering Ayotte for Secretary of Defence! WHAT? Vicious, loser Ayotte? Non-loyal Ayotte? Palsy-walsy with interventionists McCain & Linda Graham? LOLOLOLOLOL.


POTOS-Elect rewards loyalty and hard work. Reince exhibited both, in gold.

Excellent picks. Trump knows how to evaluate capabilities - that is why he is a multi-multi-billionaire.

The chief of staff MUST be someone with political experience and know-how and Priebus has both. His de facto running Trump’s “ground game” from the RNC helped to save the day. If he had listened to the defeatists and focused just on downballot races Trump might not have pulled it out.

The three people most responsible for Trump winning are Conway, Bannon and Priebus. I agree that with 4 children Kelly probably did not want something as labor-intensive as CoS.

Bannon is the policy strategist and adviser which is, I believe, what he probably wanted to do and what he is best fit for.

These two choices complement each other perfectly.

Trump is now “Being Trump”, and that is what I hoped for (prayed for).

Wow, that was some twisted garbage to try to smear Bannon. It made no sense whatsoever because you are straining so hard to try to associate Bannon with something bad. I don’t know what your problem is, but the fact of the matter is that Bannon is perhaps the #1 reason why Trump won the election. Bannon kept him on his populist, conservative message. When others might have told Trump to temper or moderate his approach, Bannon’s approach was to stay focused on the issues and double down on them. No wonder he appealed to Trump. That is EXACTLY what and who we need in the White House advising President Trump.
