If Bannon is as politically astute as you believe him to be, he would have never gone from being an asset to a liability - particularly in the spectacular way he dropped a nuke on himself personally as well as professionally.

There once was a man named Bannon
Who shot words from his mouth like a cannon
He was ground up like fine powder
And his critics shouted even louder
Your type of politics we abandon

True. He got sandbagged and retaliated. He should have been smarter.if you dance with the devil( wolff) you can go the hell. Im afraid what that is what bannon did to himself.

I am torn between thinking it was an over-sized ego that did him in....or was it alcohol (during the Wolff interviews....)

...seriously - could anyone have guessed that the ONLY quotes from that book that aren’t “FAKE NEWS” would be ... Bannon’s quotes???!!??

If they could just fix the Breitbart website, now that would be something

all those annoying pop ups, disjointed stories and worthless clickbait makes it so painful

ahhhh listening to Bannon wasn't even as bad as that

It is sad that Bannon shot himself in the foot because of sheer hubris.

Milo Yiannopoulos also likes them both. Interesting comments and history and a bit more about Bannon in the link. Yeah, Bannon might have handled things better (as well as Trump) - but to believe the crap that writer spewed on face value is stupid. Divide and conquer - and we take the bait.

Isn’t it basically over for Breitbart at this point?

It (under Bannon) could never maintain the unique character and take that AB brought...and I doubt it’s coming back now.

So many folks new to the party don’t even know what the old Breitbart was like.

I think it’s destined to be - just what it is - an increasingly generic and overly sensational click bait factory. Down to fumes and running on inertia.

I guess they’ll blame Bannon, too.

That’s just plain wrong, and an example of hive-mind thinking that less intelligent people easily fall into.

Bannon drew a direct line between Trump and treasonous behavior. There are only two possible explanations: A, Bannon sincerely believed that a short, legal meeting Trump Jr participated in implicated both Jr and Trump Sr in treason, or B, Bannon was trying to destroy Trump.

Unless you believe Bannon is a drooling moron, the all but certain explanation is B. That would make it at least the second time Bannon had tried to destroy Trump, the first being when he tried to link Trump directly to organized crime.

Bannon’s fall is very sad.

Now we have a White House that’s clamoring for an Amnesty Bill to sign, a “Bill of Love” (barf!)

I hope you are wrong about the amnesty crap. The question for Trump is what do you mean by “wall”. If you mean part of the wall, you have serious issues with a political future. I remain hopeful and confident that he means 100% of the wall or shut the “nonessential government” down and keep it closed. We dont want non essential government. Did you know the military gets paid anyway, Don’t let the DIMS get away with that lie again.

So how do you think Trump would handle an Ophra Winfrey presidential campaign?
