Priebus: Bannon Works ’24 Hours a Day’ for Trump’s Nationalist Agenda–‘Never Quits’
Breitbart.com ^ | 29 July 2017 | Tony Lee

Former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus revealed that White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon is someone who “only cares about” President Donald Trump’s agenda and thinks about his nationalist-populist platform “24 hours a day.”

“I will say that Steve is doing a great job,” Priebus said in a Friday evening CNN interview after Trump tweeted that former Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly would be the new chief of staff. “He is a brilliant guy who only cares about the president’s agenda. He thinks about it 24 hours a day. Never quits.”

Priebus’ characterization of Bannon is consistent with accounts from former Bannon associates who often wondered if Bannon, known for working around the clock for issues he cares deeply about, ever slept because he cared so much about the nationalist-populist agenda that galvanized Trump’s voters and will be key to Trump’s reelection prospects.

Bannon has a whiteboard in his West Wing office with all of the promises—including building the “border wall”—that Trump made to his voters in 2016.

I met Steve in Trump Tower just before the inauguration & and said to a staffer, “Does he ever sleep?” Staffer said “Not much.”

I said “Does Trump ever sleep?”

“Less than Bannon.”

Nlpe. Mooch already under fire. Outzpoken & brash=good. But shooting your mouth off in interviews=stupid.

I predict right now Bannon outlasts Mooch AND his replacement.

I’ve never believed rumors about Priebus being a leaker, but quite likely his staff was, and as we are learning he did not exert the needed kind of discipline and control. Wrong man for the job, but not necessarily a bad man.

Great, believable comment. But is Scaramucci the right guy in his job? There is honest and outspoken and there is rude, abrasive and nasty.

As soon as Trump won the primary Priebus was in his corner. He was one of his staunchest supporters on the talk shows. He is a party man. He was going to be loyal to whomever won. He’s probably been loyal while working for Trump It just seems like he’s that type of guy.
I think the problems came about because he’s also a squishy Republican. I can see him trying to ‘temper’ Trump on his opinions. Doesn’t make him a bad guy. Sometimes employers and employees come to a unanimous decision that someone just doesn’t ‘fit’ the job they have.
I expect him to still be loyal and not bad mouth Trump. He’s a party man.

That was a very good prediction!

“...God bless Steve Bannon....”

Indeed. He’s a good man.

And I prefer the term “American Nationalist Agenda”.

I think we should ALWAYS insert Americanism in any reference to it.

It’s way past time to take this Country back from the anti-American democrats and their communist friends.
