..... In a very terse but loaded statement, Trump downplayed Bannon's importance in crafting his 2016 campaign strategy and effectively offered him an ultimatum to clear up his issue with Jared Kushner or move on.....
...If Bannon goes, there's no one of similar status in the White House who has the status to push the nationalist agenda to Trump – and more centrist figures are already ascendant (Jivanka, Gary Cohn). Without Bannon's voice, this becomes a much more conventional White House. It would be an acute normalizing of the staff, although no one can normalize Trump....
....Of course, ousting Bannon is not without consequence for Trump. Bannon remains very popular at Breitbart and his ouster would likely be viewed as a move by Trump to the center which would almost certainly alienate his nationalist base in the Midwest.....

DJT appointed VP Pence to investigate election fraud. I, for one, would like to see the written goals, timeline, and progress reports of this committee.
Unless there is a real cleanup/fixing of voter fraud, I think we can expect to see even more blatant/overt Democrat shenanigans for the midterms and the next presidential elections.
See post 21.
And post 31
I'm with you - Bannon's voice, Priebus' voice and Kushner's voice are all important...
You know what, leave me alone.
Find someone else to attack.
I said, leave me alone.
Attack someone else.
“I can’t think of a more foolish move that the President could make than to dump Steve Bannon. It would be a devastating sign that he has turned his back those who elected him. He’d better get his head straight, or he will lose real support—not just phony favorability ratings.”
President Trump’s support base is not deep enough to sustain the loss of the significant percentage that the Tea Party vote represents....
Surely, he knows that, but the symbolic exclusion of Steve Bannon from his inner circle & the inclusion of liberal family members can only lead to an early political demise.....very sad.
He did an interview with the New York Post where he seemed to distance himself from Bannon.
Every outlet is reporting on this in the MSM AND conservative media with Breitbart, Rebel Media, Stone, etc.
This is a problem, and if you happened to see the event at the Newseum talking to press who covers the WH, reporters were saying that people are very willing to leak. One reporter for Pol said that out of a meeting of 30 people, she had 6 leakers just recently. Trump has got to get a handle on his people leaking.
This story is keeping the press busy while he gets the real work done.
You asserted that Bannon was working for Ted Cruz. My comment was in response to that absurdity.
Well deny the truth if you like, but Bannon was working for Cruz during the primaries! And then worked for Trump in August after he won.
Do some research. Sheesh.
