Trump blasts Bannon, says former top aide 'lost his mind'
Scope News ^ | 1.3.18 | Chris Agee

Posted on 01/03/2018 11:41:44 AM PST by ItsOnlyDaryl

Following the release of excerpts from a forthcoming book in which former White House strategist Steve Bannon unleashed on his former colleagues, President Donald Trump issued a scathing response Wednesday.

According to NBC News, the new book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” was written by columnist Michael Wolff.

Bannon is quoted as criticizing individuals close to the president, including Donald Trump Jr., calling his controversial meeting with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign both “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.”

I wonder which one of Bannons’ close family member’s life was credibly threatened? Kids pictures taken?, pets killed(ala Kathleen Willy). As a demonstration, Bannon told this random person will die on this date, etc. and it happened. I don’t put anything past the Left.

Could be some Bannon/Trump collusion to send the media partisans into a foaming at the mouth fit over essentially nothing. Distract, feint, draw them into a killing field and have at it???

If Bannon doesn’t back off , Trump will be faced with a Dim controlled Senate and House after the next election ... like it or not , the Swamp will not be drained the way we want it .. this Bannon nonsense needs to be hashed out now .

I’m not even going to pay attention to all of that.
None of this ‘palace intrigue or workplace gossip’ is going to change what’s going on in Iran, North Korea, the security of our borders.

Let’s see how this plays out in a day or two. Check out Bannon’s twitter feed. That sure doesn’t look like a guy who has sold out the President.

Moore lost by a hair after a sex scandal and idiotic comments about slavery, Strange or any normal candidate would have obviously won in a walk. Trump was right to back Strange over Moore, obviously, we gotta eat crow on that one.

Strange would have had the appearance of a corrupt deal with Bentley hung around his neck, and he would likely have lost. Brooks would probably have crushed Jones so badly that he’d disappear from the face of the earth.

Big Luther is an amnesty-loving RINO.

The veracity of this has come into question, and others quoted in the book have claimed that (in the words of the late, great Yogi Berra) “I didn’t really say all the things I said.”

I don’t like Strange, I wanted Brooks over the both of them.

But to pretend he would have lost when the worst candidate imaginable nearly won, is silly. The sketchiness of his appointment is NOTHING compared to what happened with Moore, absolutely nothing.

Rich suburbanites voted against Moore cause of the sex garbage. They would have voted for Strange.

Blacks turned out in high numbers because of Moore’s unnecessary antagonistic comments. He still would won despite the sex allegations if he could have only kept his foot out of his mouth! Strange would not have inflamed them. He was elected state AG with 58% of the vote. Moore just skated by in his Supreme Court races.

Suburbanites are increasingly Democrat voters.

Had it been Strange instead of Moore, the corrupt Jones would have found another way to stoke racial animosity to get them out to vote. Trust me, he would have made Strange look like a KKK member by now — and like the recipient of a bribe as well. And the same Washington Post reporters would have been down there helping Jones collect or create dirt on him.

Well think what you will.

Seems to me you perhaps want to absolve conservatives who chose to nominate Moore and those of us that thought it was good idea (myself included) from responsibility for a poor choice by taking the fatalistic view that we’d have lost anyway. I just couldn’t disagree more.

I think Strange would have lost, due to the corrupt deal that got him there — plus the dislike for the Establishment. I think Brooks would have CRUSHED Jones. But McConnell saw to it that that wouldn’t happen.
