10 thoughts on “Tres Repub Chicago Trib Sez Fire Bannon”
Former State Department official and vocal Trump critic Eliot Cohen says, "It makes it very difficult for any serious person to take the job under less reasonable conditions than Harward seems to have demanded, i.e., control of staffing." He explains, "No sane person would take this extremely important and difficult job without (a) control of staffing, and (b) eliminating or neutering Bannon's shadow NSC staff." He adds: "Without those things you're doomed not to frustration, but failure. The question will be whether Trump can bring himself to accept that, or go looking for a mediocrity — who will, in turn, help facilitate more failure."
You know that with Trump's keen intellect for understanding nuance and strategy we are headed into door number three, right? Mediocrity all the way!
I thought the linky led to the right one. Basically confirmed what you were saying, "it's not chaos; it's strategy"
Meticulous mayhem?
Yeah, I know was just was looking at the thread and there were some,'no,they're just stupid '….and I have no way of confirming either.
The Trib isn't the bastion of wingnuttiness and eccentric spelling it was back in Col McCormick's day when I and possibly you grew up with it. Since it was sold to tronc, Inc. (a name in great journalism that will undoubtedly live forever), they've gone kind of amorphous on editorial policy, and are also said to be highly interested in getting robots to write the copy.
I know because our Union-Tribune is owned by the same content-generation conglomerate.
Sooner rather than later, we hope that for the country's sake, Jared Kushner or Ivanka Trump (or someone else Trump will listen to) will lay it out bluntly: He can have Bannon running roughshod over the administration, or he can be a successful president; he cannot have both.
Pretty sure it would take a hell of a lot more to turn Donald into a successful president FFS.

Ya know, I kinda wish they were trying, but failing. Good chance they're succeeding wildly.

Willing to go as far as' knots of evil/incompetent/crazy', so it's hard to tease out which thread you've got at any particular time
