Tragedy or not, Trump supporters aren’t going anywhere.

Like it or not, he’s the only game in town.
Your only other choices are RINOS and rampaging Communist lunatics.

I believe it. I simply don’t trust anyone who goes around with a big Jesus fish on his shirt yelling “Look at me! I’m a Christian!”

I heard comments that Stephen Bannon will return to Breitbart. He will give a strong voice to the opposition which inhabits America’s Leftist Media. This is where his talents will have the most impact.

Agree. A real gut-punch - I was shocked when I heard this while driving in my car today. Said aloud to myself, "No!" Am not a happy Trump supporter right now.

Agreed! He could even be in a position to help start a truly conservative media giant. Who knows.

I stopped trusting Limbaugh 20 years ago when he denigrated as leftist anyone who opposed NAFTA.

I assume this is some plan of Bannon and Trump. Just heard markets are way up. They’re smarter than I realized.
For Bannon to give an interview and say he “thought” it was off the record is the primary indicator that this has been carefully planned.

That would be the perfect strategy. Kick the Kracken out of the castle and disavow any damage he does to the enemy with impunity.

I have really enjoyed the infrastructure discussion this week. I think we are well on our way to having a top notch infrastructure bill.

Unfortunately, the idiots of the Fake News Media won’t focus on infrastructure, and instead will just keep making stuff up about Trump supporters.

What infrastructure? He dissolved the committee that was going to lead the debated.

We’ve been talking about Nazis, Statues, and Bannon ever since.

More likely turning Bannon loose to advocate from Breitbart.
