"Trump won’t definitively say he still backs Bannon"
NY Post ^ | 4/11/17 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 04/11/2017 6:22:25 PM PDT by TakebackGOP

"Washington’s rumor mill is working overtime on the fate of aide Steve Bannon, who is said to be at the center of the rampant White House in-fighting. When I asked the President Tuesday afternoon if he still has confidence in Bannon"“Steve is a good guy, but I told them to straighten it out or I will.”

Your spin of the Sundance article is amusing.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/04/11/president-trump-and-secretary-of-defense-mattis-were-not-going-into-syria/#more-131214

“It was Jared Kushner’s (and Ivanka) counsel with Donald Trump that advised his father-in-law to hire Steve Bannon and Kelly-Anne Conway as a useful strategy. The social media moonbats who tried to force the hand of President Trump to remove Kushner are loons for thinking such a position would be even considered.”

So the very people you & others have been moaning & whining about actually advised candidate Trump to hire Bannon. That fact dumps the “Kushners are pushing Bannon out” theory right into the sewer where it belongs.

But there’s more.

“Good to remind yourself that Steve Bannon was the political strategist of billionaire Robert Mercer supporting Ted Cruz in 2014 and 2015.

Never forget Steve Bannon at Breitbart put together the data-collection strategy consisting of the presidential support polling for more than a year; and delivering the user-data to the Ted Cruz campaign which they then combined with with Mercer’s Cambridge Analytica to fundraise on behalf of Ted Cruz.

Steve Bannon was campaigning for Ted Cruz for a long time, and sent donor solicitation on behalf of Ted Cruz’s campaign using Breitbart letterhead and email banner headings.”

Now I understand the REAL source of all the whining and moaning from you & others. Too funny.

It is interesting when FAKE news cry doesn’t work..and reporter is lying cry doesn’t work..now you have to claim that people were behind Cruz and THAT is why...

I challenge you to use google and find posts where I was a Cruzbot.

Look..I don’t care if you don’t believe it about Bannon. Keep the fingers in your ears.

What matters to me is that I saw the signs..Trump showed it is right..and now I have to figure out what to do with the neocon/lib faction winning in terms of my pocketbook.

THAT is what is at stake for me..not a hobby posting lalala everything is fine posts on FR

“I challenge you to use google and find posts where I was a Cruzbot.”

My Mom had a saying, “Guilty dogs always bark loudest.” I didn’t accuse you of being a Cruzbot. I didn’t mention Cruz in any of my posts to you. To borrow a line I think is pertinent. “Methinks the lady doth protest too much,”

Hope you have a very nice day.

"Hopefully, President Trump isn't so foolish as to discard the nationalistic Bannon in favor of "moderate" Ivanka and Jared. I would begin to have grave reservations if that were to happen. I couldn't think of a worse development."

Indeed. If Trump fires or forces out Bannon, he will lose support from a significant part of his base, plus Breitbart will be unleashed. Loss of critical conservative support plus a monolithic Democrat base plus a scheming Paul Ryan will revive impeachment talk.

It seemed to me by bringing up Sundance’s posts about Cruz that is what you were claiming by your post.

Yeah, I was NOT a Cruzbot, PaulBot, NeverTrumper, ClintonBot or any other thing you want to come up with. Nor did I make posts trying to get the Fl governors opponent elected like that idiot keeps trying to claim for MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS with NO PROOF BACKING up his nonsense.

So now I have to go make money..while you can play and post everything is fine posts.

Oh and btw, ONCE AGAIN, I was the one (but not the only one) that pointed out the Cruz connection to Accenture and Chertoff group through Chad Sweet who so many people did not even know was connected to the Cruz campaign...

You can google that and find the posts. I easily found them.

I’m not responsible for you imagination.

“Yeah, I was NOT a Cruzbot, PaulBot, NeverTrumper, ClintonBot or any other thing you want to come up with. Nor did I make posts trying to get the Fl governors opponent elected like that idiot keeps trying to claim for MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS with NO PROOF BACKING up his nonsense.”

Your barking again.

“So now I have to go make money..while you can play and post everything is fine posts.”

I await your next gloom & doom, conquer & divide hysterical post. And I hope you make a lot of $$$ just cuz’ I’m a glass half full kinda guy.

Yeah see..keep trying to claim I was a CRUZBOT. It’s a lie.

And when was the Republican Primary held????????

I absolutely agree.

The lesser two risks are Trump and Cruz.

I don’t like Cruz. I don’t like his insider connections while claiming to be an outsider. At least Trump owns up to his political expedient actions.

Chad Sweet was also involved with the Cruz campaign for Senate. Former Director of CIA and NSA had already become a Principal at Sweet’s firm by then. Cruz is no outsider

I support a person’s right to defend themselves until their shovel breaks :)

Seriously, have a nice day. Smile & enjoy yourself. President Trump is in office, Cankles isn’t. The Kushners advised Trump to hire Bannon & he did. Everyone who works for President Trump does so at his pleasure. Not yours or mine.

After decades of anti-American presidents we have a pro-America president. It’s not perfect but good things are happening daily & I expect they will continue.

If you want to keep defending yourself, by all means continue. I have work to do (I have a chorus to a slow blues song to finish) & noon Mass to attend so if I don’t respond to your next defensive post don’t think I’m ignoring you :)

Since I brought up this thread..I didn’t see this post at the time.
Not sure why this guy couldn’t find the information...I am good at searching but it really wasn’t that hard to find this info

The answer is Hayden.

To: RummyChick
You may not like Cruz, but I’ve been in the intelligence business for 40 years and I’ve been unable to identify a single former director of NSA (who are always military officers) or CIA that are affiliated with the Chertoff Group in any way. To whom are you referring?

“Trump is on the right track with a few speed bumps”

Let me fix that...

Trump is on the right track, but there are what APPEAR to be a few speed bumps, that we just don’t understand, YET.

It will all become clear, in time.

Don’t be fooled. Trump is a genius, never doubt or forget that. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing. He is nobody’s puppet.

Bannon - Damned by faint praise. I think we all know what “I’ll straighten it out” really means and it doesn’t mean Jared goes or gets a more limited role...

I haven’t taken a position on Bannon’s standing. I’m cautioning you to avoid using the topic of Bannon and Kushner to create a larger narrative about Trump failing.

Creating false narratives is the engine of progressivism. Sometimes unsuspecting conservatives fall are drawn into these false narratives.

I have to agree with you and RummyChick. Trump was quoted today saying basically l was winning without Bannon.. more distance. I think it is obvious now Bannon is hanging by a thread at best. And no tax cuts before Obongo care R&R. This is Jared and his Rat partner Cohn (aka carbon tax Cohn). Jared’s gang is in charge and our guys are in the press car. So some form of Obongo care stays, we will be lucky to get any tax relief and it will probably come with a carbon tax because of Cohn who is for it. It would probably take 2nd term killing screw up to take down the Prince and by that time Bannon will probably be gone.

Reading up on what people are saying on twitter -he does have mercer’s backing and that is something...

keep in mind the story about Breitbart ...backed by mercer as per rumor (i havent checked myself)

...was told to lay off Jared.

Perhaps that is part of a truce for the meantime.

However, if things keep leaking to Joe.....

Nonetheless, this incident shows the handwriting on the wall - don’t cross the lib faction that includes Prince and Princess.
My favorite part of the of Axios Kneepcap story is they use

Text: CTC (CarbonTaxCohn) and
Globalist Gary and
the emoji of a globe.

to reference Lib Gary Cohn

It certainly was the case that Trump had the Republican nomination sewn up by August 2016, when Bannon joined the campaign. He (Trump) did not, however, have the national election sewn up until after Conway and Bannon joined the campaign. In my opinion, the two of them gave him some conservative creds and solidified his populist message, which, in turn, pretty much cemented his win.

“Creating false narratives is the engine of progressivism. Sometimes unsuspecting conservatives fall are drawn into these false narratives.”

Amen!!!

This whole nonsense about Kushners vs Bannon is nothing more than a “divide & conquer” scheme. Sad to see Freepers pushing such.

Yeah cuz’ Candidate Trump was pushing a populist agenda before Bannon came on board in the general election & without Bannon he will stop pursuing a populist agenda...

Sure thing. /s
