Let's all disentangle this mess together, shall we?

11. There is a fatal flaw to Bannon/Trump's plan

By knowingly selecting incompetent people to dismantle the government from within, they have guaranteed the failure of their plan. What makes them think their band of incompetents can successfully execute their mission when they suck at it in the first place?

The only reason they have not been able to make better progress is because they tipped their hand prematurely and jizzed the first week in with their ill executed travel ban. Alienating allies, career bureaucrats, intelligent agents, and military personnel in short order was the stupidest set of moves they could have made. Now that the story of their Russian coup is breaking open, they are going after the press.

I was fearful that first week. Now - not at all. No one of importance or influence is on their side. There is still some bad stuff coming, but they have overplayed their hand and cannot win. Call it hubris. Call it stupidity. But when you surround yourself with the incompetent, your plans will be incompetently executed.
