lol at the OP and the downvote conversation. Someone likes the down arrow. Has Bannon made a statement yet? Perhaps, he is stepping down to focus all of his energies on his war against the media and the GOPe. Something tells me his war against full glasses of liquor is going to see some focus in the near future.
Who is bankrolling Breitbart News? The Koch brothers? Someone with funding power decided that Bannon had outlived his usefulness now that Trump has been completely co-opted by the Republican establishment.That is why Bannon got the boot.
The Mercers are bankrolling Breitbart. They were funding Cruz in the primaries, and Bannon was reportedly involved in some of the oppo research against Trump in the primaries. When Trump won the primary and was too cheap and ignorant to fund and run a campaign, the Mercers stepped in to buy the campaign and installed Bannon and Conway to help insure that their money was not wasted. They then made Cruz eat his pride and endorse Trump for fear of being cut off the teat. Now that the Mercers and GOPe have Trump playing ball and Bannon is trying to wreck things, the Mercers had to cut sloppy Steve off. The Mercers also funded Clinton Cash, which helped in the campaign. The ultimate irony would be if the Mercers were the initial funders of the infamous dossier. But that might be too much to wish for. The Kochs seem relatively very hands off. But they may have been a big force in getting the GOP to play ball with Trump and get the tax bill through before the shit hit the fan.
