“The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over,” Bannon said Friday, shortly after confirming his departure. “We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It’ll be something else. And there’ll be all kinds of fights, and there’ll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over.”
Bannon says that he once confidently believed in the prospect of success for that version of the Trump presidency he now says is over. Asked what the turning point was, he says, “It’s the Republican establishment. The Republican establishment has no interest in Trump’s success on this. They’re not populists, they’re not nationalists, they had no interest in his program. Zero. It was a half-hearted attempt at Obamacare reform, it was no interest really on the infrastructure, they’ll do a very standard Republican version of taxes.
“What Trump ran on – border wall, where is the funding for the border wall, one of his central tenets, where have they been? Have they rallied around the Perdue-Cotton immigration bill [legislation proposed by Republican Senators David Perdue and Tom Cotton that would revamp the system of legal immigration, favoring immigrants with education, skills and English proficiency. On what element of Trump’s program, besides tax cuts – which is going to be the standard marginal tax cut – where have they rallied to Trump’s cause? They haven’t.”

Who would have thought that Priebus and Spicer would handle their ouster with more class?
So, how many “conservatives” are going to vote GOP next year?
I’m not and never will again. It is the GOP that hamstrung Trump. And for that I have become their worst enemy.
I want the GOP dead.
The Republicans have completely betrayed us.
Trump needs to start a new party in time for the 2018 election.
What?
Good grief, this is perfect for Trump.
And it shows why the RINOs will wish they could have kept Bannon in the White House where they had some control over him.

Yup. Cant wait to read Bannon.s own articles. He needs security tho.
According to what I’m reading today, Bannon had already resigned before that interview.
Sorry, he’s part of the GOPe.
What Bannon says about the republicans is plain for all to see. There is no mystery here.
You need to get out to vote because if Nancy Pelosi becomes speaker she will impeach Trump on Day 1.
You should vote R for that reason alone.
LS is claiming that bannon said kelly and trump approved of that interview
You couldn’t be wrong if you tried.
You couldn’t be wrong if you tried.
The GOPe means the establishment. E for establishment.
Huma is very close to Ivanka you heard? What?!
What exactly is false about what he just said?
Everything he said is right. No border wall funding etc.
If the guy who has the white board reminding everyone why we put them there has been fired and he says its over, then I’d be inclined to think all the stuff on the white board is not going to happen.
The Wall won’t be built.
Illegals won’t be deported beyond the most hardened criminals.
We will still get involved overseas where we shouldn’t.
The Uniparty is winning.
They have him surrounded in his own White House.
What do you think of tillerson and his new diversity hiring
That’s supposed to read: “MORE wrong.”
I hope Trump leaves the republican party. Probably have to wait until after 2020.
