I think that there are a lot of people that didn't like him in the first place, and these people were all too eager to embrace damaging claims about him because it reinforced what they already wished to believe.
Same thing with Roy Moore in Alabama.
I think the media accusations against Bannon have had an effect on some freepers too. He was long portrayed as a being a member of "alt-right" psuedo racist groups, and a lot of people simply bought into these accusations, I think.
Once again, more proof that Liberal control of information affects politics.
I think we are seeing some (not all) NeverTrumper's frustration expressed on some of these things.
They can't trash Trump, but they can nibble around the edges to the point of becoming extremely annoying.
Witness the blame for Moore's loss specifically on him. None of the other things impacting the election meant anything. It was Roy Moore who was the wrong choice, and besides, he ran a rotten campaign.

We've got some folks playing fast and loose with political concepts here.
Looks like the GOPe team is alive and well.
“However, why did POTUS and Don Jr take it as Gospel? Clearly they believe the source, because of their reaction.”
I really thought Trump would come out and deny the whole thing as fabrication. Instead he came out with language that left no doubt that he believed that Bannon had said those things.
Has Bannon commented on this since it came out? I’d like to hear his side of things.
If all this is true, it is very, very strange. Bannon has been very supportive of Trump ever since he left the white house.

I think you are exactly right about this. I've noticed the same thing.

I will take a look at it.

Absolutely. To hear them describe what happened, it's as if they weren't even watching the same election as I was. It's like they are political novices or something who simply believe the crap the media feeds them.

Some of them probably are, but some of them just didn't like Moore or Bannon in the first place, and I assume they are the more Libertarian types who feel uncomfortable with social conservatism anyway.
That could be too.
All I know is the man would have voted with us almost exclusively.
Thank goodness we dodged that bullet. /s
I believe that too. William Safire used to refer to us as "the stupid party." He was right. We are stupid.
Sadly, I have to agree.
Thanks.
treason - The crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill or overthrow the sovereign or government.
Does that sound like what Trump, Jr. did?
