Preibus isn't going to do that. Not even sure why Bannon would entertain this and risk it coming out. Trump loves Jared.

I'd guess he's actively targeting Trump now actually, but wants to avoid directly saying that in order to delay losing a huge part of Trump's own base, with a longer term goal of eroding Trump's base and taking them for himself.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
I think there's two possibilities here, the simpler and maybe more likely one, or the more fun 4D chess one.
Simple: Bannon, like Trump, is just a huge asshole and he's pissed off and lashing out at the people he thinks ousted him (Ivanka, Jared, Kelly). He doesn't care what Trump thinks and there's no agenda beyond revenge.
4D chess: Bannon is poking at people like Ivanka because he knows Trump will flip out and attack Brietbart, thus allowing Brietbart to regain their outsider status, and even play the persecuted victim, something right-wingers love to do. "The president abandoned us! He turned on us! The White House is controlled by liberals now!" This is probably a much more successful business model for this sort of publication, rather than just a mouthpiece for the government.

And Breitbart is going after Ivanka. lol
Trump is stupid.
Trump is stupid.
Everyone seems like they're reporting completely different stories on where Bannon stands and I wouldn't doubt if that's not exactly how he wants it.
He already looks like Edgar looked almost at the end of the movie.

Not the Democrats. The "establishment" controls both sides form their point of view. Bannon hates the GOP.
He's pure chaos my dude.

It's much better that he isn't in the White House.
What exactly do you think changes for the better? It's all shit whether he is there or not.
Edit:
He sure does...
Oh wow. I almost missed the glance at her cleavage.

Steve Bannon is Littlefinger.
EDIT: ^ beaten
He just wants to watch the world burn. And maybe play out some freaky fantasy with the daughter of his long-lost crush.

I mean, the White House doesn't suddenly become good, but it's clearly better that Bannon is now the editor of a website rather than one of the most powerful men in America.

Just dropping the idea in the press forces an inquiry, though.
The seed has now been planted.
Agree to disagree. Now he can publish news and claim inside knowledge on the inner workings of the White House and the government at large. "I have seen the waste first hand!" He can now spew shit with an air of legitimacy. More importantly, there is nothing to indicate that he no longer has the ear of the president. People have "left" this White House before yet maintained communication with it. He will continue to do damage.
It was never clear what he actually did while in the White House and it is less clear whether his agenda will continue without his physical presence. I think those cheering are making a lot of assumptions.
Honestly, the whole thing comes off like a Hail Mary PR move after Tuesday. Almost trying to put the president's words on Bannon, while simultaneously giving him more freedom to speak his mind without fear of people claiming those words are coming from the White House. I'm not buying it.

So he's like Trump. Get me that popcorn gif. We need mtv celebrity deathmatch back, would be legendary
Eh. If he's going to start spewing stuff it'll be through Breitbart, and the only people who think Bannon has some sort of legitimacy now probably already thought the same of Breitbart, so I dunno if it really changes anything.

Bannon's a mastermind in strategy. I feel like he has a clue above anyone else. Hate to say this, but Bannon was the only one against going to war/military action. Trump's now surrounded by hawks. Bullshit.

It's strange, they seemed to be getting along at first. I remember seeing a clip from an interview with the two of them where they were talking about how they roomed together, and they were acting all buddy-buddy.
He sure does...
I didn't notice him looking at her boobs before.

The other weird thing is that Bannon works for Robert Mercer, so is Trump's biggest donor turning on him too?
Kushner is Jewish
Have seen that before ........... i........ can't....

He seemed smart until the swastikas came out.
So he never seemed smart ever? Because the swastikas came out a long time ago.

I don't know what the fuck will happen, nobody does, but if you go by track record, Steve Bannon was a complete failure in achieving any of his political goals in the white house.
