Pollack in particular was a shameless anti-Trumper early on. I had direct engagements with him on Twitter where he went out of his way to defend Ben Shapiro's behavior and his own reporting.
Folks, you need to understand--and this was something I always feared the moment Breitbart was allowed into the White house--Breitbart is not the White House, never was, and mostly I suspect Bannon as being rather apathetic and useless as to the really important matters of strategy.
I can hear Bannon's voice right now, I can just imagine it, telling Trump to back off Hillary or allow all these useless NeoCons into the white house by his own recommendation.
Bannon deserves to be gone. I just hope he doesn't decide to go full NeverTrumper now that he is out of the job. He was always in with them from the beginning to begin with, despite everyone's short memory!
Can’t disagree at all
In recognizing how the end-game is going to play out, Trump is demonstrating foresight in jettisoning Bannon. This was a necessary sacrifice in order to commit & rely on the loyalty of the generals in his cabinet.
This is very good news; not bad news. It means Trump understands the forces arrayed against him and the American people. Political violence through the use of intimidation and domestic terrorism will not stop until it is met with superior force.
The US military will be the ultimate bulwark in restoring the rule of law and the return of constitutional rights & prerogatives.
