To: TheConservator; All
This is an INCREDIBLY stupid move by Trump. The one thing Trump cannot afford to do is alienate his base. And I can’t think of anything he could do to alienate his base more than to dump Bannon.

I've been telling people that Bannon is a fraud for a number of months now. There are many good reasons to believe this, but people have their tribal affiliations and do not so easily break free of them.

Bannon brought this on himself by spreading the disinformation that McMaster had given Susan Rice security clearance, even though all he gave her was access to her own work product as was necessary, especially if she was going to soon be testifying.

Stone's criticism of Bannon here is completely correct and accurate, and should not be a surprise to anyone who remembers Bannon's hijinks during the Trump campaign.

Sadly, Bannon, like most professional conservative pundits, was only interested in one thing: self-aggrandizement and money.

The honest among us are far and few.

Take the medicine folks. It tastes bad but we need it.

I said that since the beginning, and was criticized for it. In fact, he didn’t make much secret of the fact he was not conservative.
