This is essentially my view now as well. I did like Bannon—indeed, I trusted his policy instincts and convictions moreso than those of President Trump himself initially—and his "America first" ideas on economic nationalism.

There seems to be little doubt that Steve was sloppy in his statements to some people—people who he should have known were servants of the Enemy—and consequently his behavior constituted extreme disloyalty to the very President whose back he was supposed to have.
Given Bannon's elevated and prominent status, these mistakes border on unforgivable, and—in any event—exhibit breathtakingly unsound judgement.

You picked the wrong one to question. I have a well used flameproof Little Black dress I always wear when freeping. And I’m just being honest. I do know some FReepers cling to old opinions and don’t let new info affect how they think. I’m not one. I can still learn.

Bingo! I think you nailed it. I'm stupid for not having thought of that but I believe you are exactly right. And, notice she's still on the Trump team, because she understood that she is in a support role, and it's not ultimately *all about her*, something Bannon had trouble getting through his thick skull, apparently.
