Unnamed sources, no independent confirmation, but hey, it's still being put out there.

Way better odds than Trump had of winning the election if you believed the lame stream media.

...is not impeachment by Congress, but the 25th Amendment -- which could allow his Cabinet to vote to remove him.

I don't think Bannon said this, because I don't think he's that stupid. The "cabinet" can't remove Trump under the 25th amendment (unless he truly is in a coma and can't object.) The 25th amendment is worded precisely to prevent such a "coup", all the President has to do is contest the cabinet's contention that he is unfit to fulfill his duties and then it is kicked into congress who most vote in 48 hours with 2/3 of BOTH houses required to remove the President.

Here is the text in question, decide for yourself:

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Hey, this is an easy one. Call Bannon out on it. If he’s the one starting the rumor, then stuff it back down his throat.

From the headline, I was thinking the story was referring to the Bernie supporters that want Trump dead.

There is no path to 270. If he wins he will not become president, he just runs to prove himself. He will not last a week. He will not last a month. He will not last 3 months...

And I believe he has a 100% chance of serving 8 years. So what?

Fake news….again. Don’t believe anything CNN puts out, especially a story from Vanity Fair!
