Now you get the idea why Trump thought he was a leaker, full of himself, and trying to take all Trump's credit. Bad form Bannon.

Did you even read the article?

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.

wow

I was so hoping for a classy departure. He would look so much better if he were a diplomat and a professional (and a good American).

Bannon may be right. But sore losers don’t advance themselves in politics. You leave quietly, blame no one, but continue to fight for what you were always fighting for. You don’t burn your bridges behind you; you keep your future options open. As time goes on, politics may again make strange bedfellows, but Bannon may be neither one of the two joining elements.

Bannon's sentiments as expressed here—specifically with regard to the GOPe Congress—are spot on.

It might not be what anyone wants to hear—but it rings 100% true to me.

It's not the President's fault. It's the scum-sucking party of abject cowards that he leads.

I truly despise the Republican party leadership. A bigger bunch of disloyal cowards and selfish career politicians I've never seen.

At least the Democrats can be loyal to their Presidents.

With their actions since January, the GOP has put itself in a very precarious position going into the 2018 midterms.

Apparently, the GOP Congress just doesn't care to lead this nation. "C'est sera sera" is their attitude. It takes much less effort for them to be in the minority and pretend they're conservative, pretend they oppose Big Government, and pretend they care about the People who have given them control of both Congress and the Presidency.

President Trump stands virtually alone—against the entire Establishment—and with the GOP Congress wallowing around in the Swamp along with the Democrats, the only hope for this Presidency is for the People to demand accountability.

The People are going to have to join with the President to drain the Swamp, or the Swamp is going to absorb entire Republic.

The President can't drain the Swamp by himself. He's going to need our help—because there's nobody else left.

I hope every single God d-mn disloyal GOPe Representative and Senator gets primaried in 2018. And I'm starting to believe that the President needs to abandon the GOP and start a new party. He did an admirable job last year, but I now believe the GOP is beyond hope, and deserves whatever fate awaits it...

This just in at around 7:30 this evening...

“I’m leaving the WH & going to #war for Trump against his opponents on Capitol Hill, in the media and in corporate America.” - Steve Bannon

Methinks this allows President Trump a chance to speak more unfiltered truth through Steve Bannon without having the inevitable blow-back from the fifth column. Just because he no longer has an official position at the White House doesn’t mean that he can’t act on behalf of the Administration.

Bannon never had anything to do with Trump becoming what he is today. This is a terrible time for him but with God’s help he will overcome. I sent a few $$ to his website today. Pray for him and stand firmly with him.

“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.”

Feckless, useless Republicans across the spectrum in The House and The Senate. What Trump is trying to do, it upsets the apple cart. And The Powers That Be, they fight back. No one said it was gonna be easy.

I don’t care about form. I care about whether he is right. We’ll see, but it doesn’t look good. And he’s absolutely correct about the GOP. They are self-serving globalists who don’t care about America as a nation. They would have been much happier with Hillary as president so they could pretend opposition and have an excuse to do nothing.

It is hard not to see that it is over. Depressing end of the week. Trump tied to neo-Nazis, white supremacists, the KKK, etc. Antifa seen as patriotic resistance against this evil. Now Bannon out, McMaster vindicated, Trump can’t do anything right. The media sees this as perfect storm to oust Trump, Republicans are limp wrists as usual. And Trump’s Pershing story? Pathetic and embarrassing. I’m tempted to tune out and check back in six months. Where will he be at then?

Sounds like he has it exactly right and will continue to support Trump's Presidency in any way he can. Lays the blame fully at the feet of the RINOs who refuse to do their sworn duty and make good on their own promises.

While you mull that over, here's something else to mull over

If we want to make an actual difference, we need to invest ourselves in it instead of just blowing smoke and thinking that verbalization will make a dent against those who kill and destroy in their quest to undo what the Forefathers put together.
