1. As Kuttner says, Bannon extremely media savvy, so this wasn’t a spur of the moment call. It doubtless was approved by either Trump or Kelly.
2. If Bannon says publicly that military action vs NORKS was off the table, you can bet it was very much ON the table & that’s why they backed down.
3. He says exactly what I said earlier today on Twitter: Dems please keep running on race. You guarantee your own extinction.
4. When Bannon talks to a left wing rag about economic nationalism, he knows avg Dem won’t read it-—but it will trickle down. This will move a million more votes to Trump.
Who is better at 4D chess? Bannon or Trump?
I would like to point out that everyone was making these same defenses of Scaramucci during his drunk dial interview.
