Why Bannon Became a Rat

Michael Wolff, who wrote FIRE AND FURY, has explained why Steve Bannon turned on Trump and leaked negative inside information about the White Shack.

Wolff believes that Bannon planned to take over the Republican Party. Bannon figured that his senate candidate in Alabama, Roy Moore, would win, and this would put the fear of Bannon into Republican officials nationwide. While that victory was being absorbed, Wolff’s book would come out: Trump would be disgraced by the book; and Bannon, no longer a Trump dude, would look like the savior of his party. But Moore lost, of course, and the plan unraveled, leaving Bannon holding an empty paper bag. He's now trying to kiss Trump's ring again, but Agent Orange's tiny hand has been pulled back.

  

I doubt if the Bannon plan had a chance. Bannon is a puffed-up nobody without a following. He's the Lavar Ball of politics. Bannon overestimates himself—like Chris Christie, who announced yesterday that if Trump had not run, Christie would have been elected President. This from a nasty slob discredited in his own state.
