| Diogenes, the honest man you seek with your lantern is not to be found. It's because two honest men, Trump and Bannon, are creating some theater to end the GOPe vs. MAGA civil war. Follow the money. Bannon was set to cut off the money supply to GOPe candidates. He was a major force threatening the GOPe. The GOPe probably spent $40 million+ to stop Judge Moore from being elected. And were it not for fraud in Alabama, Moore would be in Washington now. But now, Trump got what he wanted: the Tax Bill. And the Tax Bill (plus ObamaCare mandate killing) was the whole point of Bannon going on the war path. So Trump, Mitchell, and Ryan made peace. The Republican Civil War has ended and both sides lay down their swords. Trump must no longer support Bannon. So Bannon becomes a rōnin, a masterless samurai who roams the countryside alone because he lost his master's favor or privilege. But a rōnin can still perform a great service to his country. Keeping the MAGA fires glowing at Breitbart is a worthy task for Bannon. |
