Despite Roy Moore’s shocking loss to Doug Jones in the Alabama special election for its vacated U.S. Senate seat, one of the Republican’s chief backers, Steve Bannon is pressing on. A former executive for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign turned White House chief strategist, Bannon returned to his post at Breitbartafter the president fired him in August. Since then, the eccentric conservative figure has floated plenty of praise and criticism for his former employer, the remaining members of his White House administration, and just about everyone else on the American political spectrum.

According to Vanity Fair‘s Gabriel Sherman, Bannon is also toying with the idea of a possible presidential run in 2020. “I realize in hindsight I was just a staffer, and I’m not a good staffer. I had influence, I had a lot of influence, but just influence,” he said of his time working for Trump. “I have power. I can actually drive things in a certain direction.” Hence, per Sherman’s reporting, Bannon’s possible presidential ambitions:

Yeah, sure, whatever Steve-Oh. Win an election first, any election, if you want to favorably impress someone.

What is it about Steve-Oh that makes you think he isn’t one? The fact that he hasn’t been elected?

He couldn’t even get Moore elected in ALABAMA. Good luck with that

The age of miracles is over. And Moore had everything to do with losing that election. Not really Bannon’s fault.

75% of white male Alabamians who voted, voted for Moore. Most of white women did, too. But people couldn’t be bothered to get off their butts and vote. Many of us did, though.

He is a politician only in the same sense that you and I are.

You seem to think being elected to public office qualifies one to lead. I think the Donald puts the lie to fallacy, don't you?

He isn’t going to run against Trump.

But if he runs in 2024, I’ll vote for him.

On the other hand, Mitt Romney was very well groomed.

I suppose he's more acceptable.

And of course, Hillary Clinton was very well groomed and physical attractive, right? We should have elected her.
