2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHOW did Breitbart's Bannon score the Trump gig? This will SHOCK you...he kissed Trump's ass.
Known as a devil-may-care conservative, Bannons populist and nationalist sympathies reflect his longstanding disgust with both major political parties. And like Trump, Bannon enjoys needling the political establishment. The businessman boasted in his statement Wednesday that Bannon had once been called the most dangerous political operative in America,
Yet for longtime aides and supporters loyal to Trump, Bannons hiring is cause for concern. Bannon will play to Trumps worst sensibilities, said a source close to the Trump campaign, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Trumps decision to hire Bannon followed months of conversations between the pair. Bannon urged the impulsive, angry presidential nominee to ignore people who wanted him to tone it down, according to The Washington Post.
The advice resonated with Trump, who has resisted calls to pivot throughout his campaign. I am who I am, Trump said in an interview with a Wisconsin TV station Tuesday. I dont want to change. Everyone talks about, Oh, well youre going to pivot, youre going to. I dont want to pivot. I mean, you have to be you. If you start pivoting, youre not being honest with people.

what you know and what the candidate wants to remain hidden!

Lots of self discipline and an obvious intellectual.
