Bannon may run for president

BY BRENT BUDOWSKY, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR, the Hill

http://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/356849-bannon-may-run-for-president

"SNIP............


Bannon is doing everything a presidential candidate would do:

He is traveling around the country, cajoling ideological allies to run in primaries against traditional Republicans;

mobilizing an insurgent grass-roots challenge to the dazed Republican power structure;

attacking virtually every major Republican leader in Congress and the last Republican president;

building a network of mega-donors who write massive checks to elect Republicans they support or defeat Republicans they oppose; and

creating a substantial base of small donors.

............SNIP"

Never against a Trump.

Chris Matthews was correct tonight, he said Bannon is leading the purge of the Party. And Trump is in on it.

He just needs an empty-headed, presentable, photogenic empty suit who will parrot his beliefs. Someone more malleable that tRump, with a broader anti-christ appeal.

Is this a joke? He doesn't have a chance in hell! The alcohol must have really addled his brain because he has about as much chance of becoming president as I have of becoming the Queen of England.

Bannon does not. He has a small group of nazis that love him, but they are not the mainstream Trump cultists. I say he doesn't have a chance.
