What's next for Bannon?
“I don't think he'll be quiet or silent for very long,” Kurt Bardella, a former Breitbart spokesman, told me. “Accepting fate or defeat is not in his DNA. Someone who entertains running for president doesn't just retreat and shrink away into anonymity. He will try and reinvent himself. He will try and finish what he started.”
Bardella's remark about presidential ambitions refers to a December Vanity Fair article in which Gabriel Sherman reported that a White House run “has at least been a passing thought” for Bannon.
“In October,” Sherman wrote, “Bannon called an adviser and said he would consider running for president if Trump doesn't run for reelection in 2020. Which Bannon has told people is a realistic possibility. In private conversations since leaving the White House, Bannon said Trump only has a 30 percent chance of serving out his term, whether he's impeached or removed by the Cabinet invoking the 25th amendment.”
Another possible avenue for Bannon already is closed. Wolff reported in his book that former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes approached Bannon in April about teaming up to launch a new conservative television network that would feature the just-fired Bill O'Reilly. According to Wolff, Bannon said at the time that he wanted to stay in the White House.
Bannon left the White House just four months later, but by then Ailes had died.
Bannon could attempt to start a new venture without Ailes or perhaps go back to making documentaries, like the one he produced in 2011 about Sarah Palin, before taking the helm at Breitbart. But those projects might require fundraising and Bannon, through his falling-out with Trump, has alienated the billionaire Mercer clan, which would have been his most natural source of financial support.

Somebody should have told Steve that loose lips sink ships.
Another one I heard, live by the liberal media, die by the liberal media.
His Goldman Sachs ego got the better of him
As what...a washroom attendant in some flophouse motel ?
No he won’t. He is too full of himself to learn from his errors. He was the leaker in chief. Not one person voted for Bannon.moreover he has openly stated he wants to burn it all down
The list of Trump's senior personnel decisions is beyond shocking....

Rehab Baby!
Hubris...pride before the fall. He needs to go to church and remove the love affair that he has with himself. Once clear of that, he can humbly do great things again for the conservative movement- behind the scenes.
I often wondered who all the great people were going to be when he campaigned. They probably turned down the job offers.
