2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLooks like the knives are out for Bannon.
Seems like somebody close to Trump wants him off the campaign. They're giving the media damaging stories about Bannon. Not that anybody has to dig very deep to find damaging info about Bannon.

Any response from T-rump's party of GOPers on HRC speech? I haven't read any.

(26,060 posts)I read she pushed him to hire Kellyanne and she certainly SEEMS to be the most reasonable one there so my bet is his daughter is leaking all this stuff.

(61,703 posts)Edited - on the other hand, Ivanka let her photo on vacation with Putin's girlfriend get in the news. That was dumb.
leftynyc
(26,060 posts)she's dating putin? I read conflicting reports on that. What is of no doubt is she's rupert murdoch's ex-wife. If all the speculation is true about don the con wanting to start a media empire, getting in good with the ex wife of his direct competitor isn't a bad way to do it.

(42,770 posts)ideology - she is just playing the game of how to win (remember she trashed the man several months ago)
The HUGE problem for both of them is that IT'S WAY TOO late to redefine him.
You can't just make believe he didn't say the stuff he said that he hired Breitbart (probably for the donations) (and we can't let people forget). They are very dumb to think they can pull this off.
Trump started to lose this thing when he 100% alienated the Bushes, Cruzes, and party establishment. But the day Trump lost this thing for sure was the day after he got the nomination. It would have been almost believable that all the shit storm was for getting the nomination. If he had pivoted then - and started acting serious/respectable we'd probably be up shit creek.

I'm having a field day with all that's been going on. New day. New shit-storm from Drumpf. How embarrassing! He's a national mockery.

(5,611 posts)yesterday. They were among the media sources that broke the story. So yes I also suspect that the Trump campaign wants Bannon to "resign" like Manafort (lol) with some stupid story about how he is becoming a distraction, etc. The campaign is desperate to stop the Bannon/alt-right stories as Trump is tanking in the polls.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)really bad stuff about him before. And, they posted the raunchiest pics of MT.
You wonder, if someone other than Trump is feeding stuff. Like if the KIDS are for some reason - If KAC and ET are feeding on Bannon. But, who would feed bas stuff about MT?

(26,060 posts)related. Murdoch owns the Post, speculation is don the con is really going for a media empire and Murdoch is his direct competition. Could be a preemptive shot at Donnie. I'm not sure Rupert was ever fond of Donnie..I recall his affair with Marla maples playing out on the front page of that paper...also his ties to the mob.

(42,770 posts)thing...at least there is hope that it wasn't the Donald who sent them the Melania pics. Yup, guess the Post is chicken feed compare to BB

(617 posts)It seemed perfectly choreographed with all the speeches and stuff yesterday.
I only ask because the synchronization between the different forms of communication from Clinton's campaign yesterday was a thing of beauty:
1) First the KKK video,
2) the speech
3) tweets during the speech that mirrored what she was talking about in real-time, some with links to supplemental information
It was pretty masterful. The Bannon could have been the icing on the cake.

(1,681 posts)I have yet to see her say anything about Bannon at all. She speaks like he's not part of the campaign. Not a single word.
