Bannons sense of urgency is being fueled by his belief that Trumps hold on power is slipping. The collapse of Obamacare repeal, and the dimming chances that tax reform will pass soonmany Trump allies are deeply pessimistic about its prospectshave created the political climate for establishment Republicans to turn on Trump. Two weeks ago, according to a source, Bannon did a spitball analysis of the Cabinet to see which members would remain loyal to Trump in the event the 25th Amendment were invoked, thereby triggering a vote to remove the president from office. Bannon recently told people hes not sure if Trump would survive such a vote. One thing Steve wants Trump to do is take this more seriously, the Bannon confidant told me. Stop joking around. Stop tweeting.

(20,998 posts)...bit of a tweaked-out, two-faced, alcoholic pragmatist, that one. It will be interesting to see the tRump*bart worm turn, to say the least. Even more interesting will be the Rethuglican feeding frenzy when they sense blood in the Potomac.

(18,663 posts)Will not be a factor in voting, only two items need to be considered-
How many Cabinet members feel they have good prospects during Pence's reign?
How many have the guts to vote against Trump knowing that if either it fails or when he returns to office there will be a stalinesque Purge?
