The defeated left is going all in on Breitbart’s (and soon the White House’s) Steve Bannon.
The smears are as fact free as they are nasty and it is a direct and simple challenge to Trump. People like Harry Reid and Elizabeth Warren are slagging Bannon and threatening not to co-operate (as if) with Trump.
So now Trump gets to decide: keep Steve or underbus him in the face of a determined lefty smear. I think it is an easy decision; but it will also be a telling one. If Trump backs his pick he wins bigly, if he waivers, even slightly, he will have created a huge problem for himself and his Presidency. We should know how this turns out by the weekend.
If you want to read what this notorious “anti-Semite” and “racist” and white supremacist thinks go read his remarks to a Vatican conference on poverty.
Watch Trump play this throughout his presidency. He throws something at them, they all can’t breathe because their shorts are in such a twist, they all make utter fools of themselves, burn a building down, essentially render themselves into blithering idiots, and he does what he wants. They stop for a second, wonder what hit them, then fly into a rage again at the slightest thing and he does it again.
Notice that there isn’t a word about Obamacare or the EPA, real consequential things that dismantle Obama’s legacy? Bannon, racist, Bannon, squeak my shorts are tight, Bannon, Repeal Obamacare.
