Steve Bannon Says One Thing Has Forever Broken the Democrat Party
Breitbart ^ | 11-23-2017 | Adelle Nazarian

Posted on 11/23/2017 5:41:19 PM PST by blam

Stephen K. Bannon believes that the Democratic Party’s obsession with identity politics will ultimately backfire against them. In fact, he believes this has broken the party to such a degree that it will never recover. The process has already begun.

In his new book Bannon: Always the Rebel, released on Monday, Keith Koffler notes that the former White House Chief Strategist revealed a deep flaw in the Democratic Party’s hand that showed its poker face as a transparent window to the true nature of the party’s illusion of strength.

It was through Bannon’s travel ban, which was expeditiously rolled out, that this revelation was made. The ban, quickly branded a “Muslim Ban” by the left, and some on the right, was intended to take attention off a second order that Bannon believed was much more significant; the “Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements” order signed on January 25, which called for building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to keep illegal aliens out.

Bannon, with the whiteboard in his office and his eagerness to check off Trump campaign promises as accomplished, took the brunt of the blame for the administration moving too quickly. But he says the uproar had its upside: It helped create “the resistance” that Bannon believes thoroughly delegitimizes the Democratic Party with average voters it needs to win elections. He claimed he knew the outrage was coming, and that the Left had fallen into a trap. “The Left bit on it, and created the resistance, and it blew up, and now it’s part of the political movement,” Bannon said. “It’s what’s broken the Democratic Party.”

Steve Bannon is a deep thinker.
A Karl Rove type, but with testicles.

I suspect “identity politics” is also a result of taxes and living expenses so high in these wealthy lib enclaves that they can no longer buy people off and retain their upscale lifestyle so they do this as a way of cultivating support. We need to raise their taxes further that will also make it harder for them to neutralize the feckless, duplicitous, treacherous Chamber of Commerce Republican elite.

Rove is about as deep a thinker as George W. Bush. Not much depth there.

The DemocRat party is the party of victimhood. All they know how to do is point fingers and blame others. They will always be victims and will never be victors.

Not much depth there.

If smug, fat, dumbasses ever became a branch of identity politics, Rove would have a new movement to lead.

They’re both pure GOPe thinkers.

I wouldn't write off the dims just yet....VA has turned a very light shade of blue now and appears to be darkening.

They control the legislatures in CA, WA and OR.

NC is in play as will FL be due to Puerto Rican immigrants.

None of this factors in the actions by the party of stupid...aka the GOP-e. They seem more concerned about how to lose than how to win.

You never see dims trash their own in public as the gop-e does.

In US politics things swing back and forth. It is perilous to think a surge or wave cannot be reversed.

I hope you’re right because the dems own the west coast right now. Flat out own it border to border.
