The rally in AZ will be a major turning point.

Lodi if Trump doesn’t get his agenda through and that DAMNED WALL under construction before 2020 he doesn’t stand a chance of succeeding in 2020!!!! The voting public that brought him over the finish line will have given up thrown their hands in the air and said THE HELL WITH IT ALL, the country will only survive with ANOTHER civil war!!! WE are very, very close to that outcome!!!!

“I didn’t even know who Banon was”

Do you always gloat in your ignorance?

Perhaps. Assuming no deaths this weekend.

Ah, the never-Trumpers seem to pop up like whack-a-moles whenever anything that could potentially separate Trump from his base happens.

Well, I’m in Trump’s base, and I COULDN’T CARE LESS.

Trump was not my first choice in the primaries. But I voted for Trump over Hillary. Even though I did not, and do not, believe that Trump is a true conservative. But he had surrounded himself with true conservatives, and it seemed like he was going to let himself be influenced by them.

The number of those conservatives has sharply dwindled, especially with the news of Bannon’s departure. If Trump keeps governing as a conservative, all well and good. But if, as I suspect, Trump starts moving to the center, I am going to become increasingly unhappy with him.

Yeah ok. I just long for the days when the news consisted of: ‘so-and-so has stated x’; instead of ‘senior officials within the WH has told us x’

So Bannon will leave and the world will go on.

Why are you peddling that misinformation about the S Rice clearance?

https://www.circa.com/story/2017/08/03/politics/susan-rice-keeps-top-secret-security-clearance-hr-mcmaster-letter-says

Unfortunately both Bannon and Trump seem to have made a boatload of mistakes in the WH.

But God help us with the McMaster cabal in charge now.

Well, you can vote for Hillary, then, when she runs against him in 2020.

"If true Trump could not have picked a worse possible time. The base is in a rage over being called “White Supremacist” by the Media, and if Trump did fire him, its a conformation to the press, “you know, you may be right”. Worse timing ever."

Yes, terrible timing and it is being reported that Bannon is out, effective today. The weekend will be full of reports that "we got him" and Trump is guilty of everything they have been saying. Regardless of the reasons, the firing could have been better managed. I wonder what effect this will have on next week's rally. Trump really needs a lift and a very large enthusiastic crowd could help. I was actually hoping that he would tell his base that he needed their help and prepare them to be called into the streets to get Congress and the GOPe leadership to support his agenda, and to combat the current talibanization of the US over Confederate monuments (and more with Lincoln being targeted).

The left (MSM, RINO's, etc.) have been bashing Trump 24X7 for six+ months now over Russia, Trump's "racism", Trump's anti-gay agenda, Trump's Islamphobia, Trump's whatever. There has been little in the way of tangible results when it comes to effectively combating all that crap.

Perhaps Trump is tired of waiting for his "strategist" to come up with a strategy that actually works to end that crap.

>> Only Miller left but I doubt he has much clout <<

His bald pate makes him look too nerdish. Very uncool. Almost as bad as John Bolton’s mustachio. Trump world demands a better public image.

What you just posted is not only disinformation but shows extreme ignorance. You did NOT read the actual letter penned by McMaster. It says explicitly that her access is limited to her own work product, meaning her own memos, calendar information, etc.

Trump needs to shore up the base a bit with Bannon's departure - firing McMaster (or shipping him to Afghanistan) will accomplish that. Right now, Trump is being isolated from his braintrust - the people he is depending on now are swamp creatures, mostly.

>> Besides, do we know yet if Bannon was fired, forced to resign or just quit in his own? <<

What difference, at this point, does it make?

“could be more effective outside the Administration. He will be unchained and not tethered.”

I suppose like Corey Lewandowski, who was fired as Trump’s Campaign Manager. I see him in rounds of interviews on TV. Corey stated that he feels strongly that he can help President Trump from the outside.

I think your right

I believe Trump thought about what the country needs for many, many years. He may have been wrong about whom to bring. When you are up against the most powerful enemy, you need those warriors willing to risk life and fortune like Trump has. Trump has sacrificed everything to help this country, and, frankly, he had a lot. A decent reputation, a lovely family, a life.

I’m sticking with Trump. I didn’t vote for any of these advisors. Many people of all sides are too egocentric to be valiant fighters for the American people. I will pray and hope Trump can hold on to defeat our enemies who have conquered America from within. Praying for more brace warriors for his team.

I’m deeply afraid that if a patriotic billionaire can’t do this, no one can. Best to stick with him.

The memo also says that a Need to Know to gain access is not required.
