Steve Bannon Splits From Trump: Hilarity Ensues
As delicious as it was to watch the mainstream Republican Party crushed under the weight of its own internal contradictions during the 2016 campaign season, a new horror show could be even better. In a special Alabama Senate race going on now, we can watch Donald Trump chewed to bits by his own base.
The CliffsNotes version of this story:
1) Trump botches the Charlottesville mess, says there are "very fine people" among neo-Nazi marchers.
2) World freaks out. Backstabbers in the White House try to save themselves by leaking to the press that the problem is chief strategist Steve Bannon, a white supremacist cancer on an otherwise redeemable presidency.
3) Bannon is pushed out, and immediately gives an interview to The Weekly Standard in which he declares the Trump presidency "over" and promises to use Breitbart to hog-butcher his enemies back in Washington. "I built a f***ing machine at Breitbart. And now," he says, "we're about to rev that machine up. And rev it up we will do."
4) Bannon backs former judge Roy Moore in a runoff race for the Senate seat vacated by Justice Department chief and oft-whipped Trump toady Jeff Sessions. Moore is a Christian identitarian throw-the-bums-out lunatic who normally would be close to a perfect fit for Trump's alleged "drain-the-swamp" movement.
5) But Trump backs another guy, a 6-foot-9 Republican Party hack-lifer named Luther Strange.
6) Hilarity ensues.
