My husband made an interesting comment at lunch today.

[redstatebluegirl]

He said he thinks Bannon will be out looking for the "next Trump" he can groom and get elected. He said the right wing's darling Palin could be the one. He needs someone to complete his destruction of the government and continue the war on people of color and women. At first I told him he was nuts, now I think he may be on to something.

1. That would not be a surprise

And he might just team up with Cruz campaign Mgr Jeff Roe who is ruthless.

[Fluke a Snooker]

2. No. More likely he will unload on Trump and spill all the secrets...

...which will then lead to the rest of the GOP Congress to finally get in line to impeach him, which will lead a special investigator to, investigate, indict, convict, incarcerate, and perhaps even more to the occupier in chief.

3. Naa - he's nuts. Pailn and Bannon??? When people like Pence are out there?

[TreasonousBastard]

4. Bannon might try, but I suspect hardly anyone's buying this time...

We experimented with an "outsider" and look what it got us. Never again.

Palin's a sad joke.

[redstatebluegirl]

5. Didn't we all say that Trump was not possible and look what happened

when a lot of us stayed home pouting because Bernie didn't win the nomination.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. I suspect a lot of people learned from this mistake...

Or at least hope enough did to not make it again.

[redstatebluegirl]

13. I don't think so.

A young friend of mine keeps saying she is happy this is going on. She stayed home because the Democratic party "stole the nomination from Bernie who would have made college free". She said she stayed home "to blow up the system" and she really doesn't realize how damaging the supreme court can be in her lifetime. Nor does she see how dangerous Trump can be. She just wants Bernie in 2020 as her t-shirt says.

[TreasonousBastard]

15. AAAaaarrrggghhhh! And I thought I was depressed yesterday...

Does she know how old Bernie will be in 2020?

[redstatebluegirl]

16. She honestly doesn't care that is how delusional some of them are.

6. Banning will pick

Bannon.

[redstatebluegirl]

7. Well he has been the President for the past 8 months so that isn't a stretch.

[marylandblue]

8. I think your husband is righr, but it won't be Palin

Bannon will be looking for a smarter, more disciplined Trump.

[redstatebluegirl]

10. I agree, just not sure who that is.

[grantcart]

9. Logical but no

Bannon is a self described "Leninist" but he means Leninist prior to achieving power.


Bannon's strategy is called "Perpetual War"


While most people use conflict as a means to an end Bannon sees conflict as the objective. He can achieve his objectives only by staying in conflict. Getting into office will mean that he has to moderate and be accountable.

11. Except, frankly, Bannon doesn't look that healthy.

Not sure how long an alcoholic, hypertensive, diabetic, can endure such a high stress environment.

[Iggo]

14. Nah, he won't pick a buffoon next time.
