Washington (CNN)Before Donald Trump and Steve Bannon were enemies, they were allies. And not long before that, Bannon was part of an effort to sink Trump's presidential hopes -- even if Trump didn't know it.

A conservative watchdog group led by Bannon tried to discredit Trump in the early stages of the 2016 Republican presidential primary by shopping a document alleging that Trump had ties to mobsters

This must be when Bannon was a Cruz groupie.

Cruz pathetically tried to use the same argument.

“Maybe it is the case that Donald, there have been multiple media reports about Donald’s business dealings with the mob, with the mafia. Maybe his taxes show those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported.” — Sen. Ted Cruz

Perhaps Bannon is still a Cruz groupie and all of this was about sabotaging Mr. Trump.

That could very well be the case. Something’s profoundly wrong, certainly. No Trump supporter would do what Bannon did.

That bunch always thought they should have won. Not much separates those nitwits from Hillary. Bannon is a fool and once you stab someone, neither side will ever trust you.

Bannon should revert to raising chickens or selling snake oil.

If this was indeed Bannon’s intention to sabotage the administration I would have no doubt that Lyin’ Ted would be behind it as well, to set himself up for a 2020 run.

Yep, sure sounds like you may be dead on. Bannon squawked that Trump may be out early.

What a true oily and sneaky jackass.

Dave Bosse brought him in, but Bosse is a good guy. Bannon is a snake.

I always cringed when Bannon called Trump a “blunt instrument.” The implication that Trump was an instrument for him to use.
