Very exciting new developments. I can see a revitalized Rep party down the road.

"To the extent that there is any ideological overlap among candidates the new coalition will support, it will probably be that they favor limiting immigration, making trade policies more advantageous to American manufacturers and disentangling the United States from sweeping international agreements — and destroying the establishment."

Coincidentally, I just heard something about a movement in the UK to create a coalition party of Left, Right and Center disillusioned citizens motivated by the Brexit victory. Change is in the air everywhere.

Bannon was on Hannity last night. His comments were spot on. Corker has spilled the beans and revealed exactly what the "establishment" Republicans think of Trump and his agenda. They are the problem. They will be defeated. Bannon says, "We're coming after them." He called Corker an "absolute disgrace," and said he should resign immediately. He believes Marcia Blackburn would have defeated him if he had chosen to run again, and he believes she will win his seat.

It's now clear why Bannon left the White House. He can do more good for the administration on the outside. He's a smart man.

We will defeat these entrenched establishment, anti-American progressive elitists in both Parties. This is about saving America.

It's become quite clear during the last few months that the majority of Americans do not want the alt-right, i.e: "Trump's agenda". The only ones that do seem to be old, white evangelicals. The rest of the country not so much.

The people who think some American politician can "smash the establishment" are living in a fantasy world. The people who have been successful in "smashing an establishment" are the likes of Adolph Hitler and Cesar Chavez. Beware of what you ask for, you just might get it.

On the same hand Americans obviously don't want anything the Democrats are selling either.

Trump, his supporters, and the agenda to rebuild America, are NOT alt-right!

Trump's agenda to rebuild America is a Reaganesque agenda which is based on the very ideas of our Founding Fathers. Those ideas are what made this country great, and they will make us great again.

"Progressivism" (Marxist-socialism) was imported from Europe through the University system and infiltrated our politics slowly, with the deliberate intent to destroy our Constitution, our Republic, and everything that was the foundation of America. It is a cancer, an insidious ideology that ends in totalitarianism. It must be defeated.

Those of us who are patriots (and proud of our heritage) stand with Bannon. We must win this war, and we will, for our children's future, and those after them.

So how will the plight of the working class white man be solved when the establishment is "smashed"? Is Bannon going to make the white man the undisputed head of the household again, and provide jobs for everybody? I mean really, what is the end game? Smash the establishment is just another political slogan that is empty. The root of it is working class white male insecurity

LOL! "THE WHITE MAN". Did President Trump or Bannon run on making "THE WHITE MAN" the head of the household? It sounds like you might have some daddy issues you are imposing on President Trump.

Nope. You know what I'm talking about. Don't play coy with me. Unless you've been living under a rock all these years, Trump's election was ALL ABOUT the rage of the "forgotten working stiff white guy" who feel that the "establishment" (rich white men) don't give a crap about them and that it's their fault minorities (affirmative action, immigration) and feminism (white women) took their jobs away and power,feeling ignored. So they blame the establishment (rich white men) and liberals (white women) for their problems.

They are very much alt-right.

If you think the American political landscape is going to change in any significant way because Trump and Bannon decided it wasn't to their liking, you are living in some sort of weird Fantasyland. Most people see Bannon as a racist turd attempting to push a nationalist, Nazi-esque agenda that they just don't have the stomach for. There are far more people that would be hurt by their agenda than there are those who would benefit by it.

You just don't have the numbers anymore. The handful of people getting behind these two clowns aren't nearly enough to change anything. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Trump won because of people who wouldn't normally vote for a Republican crossed over to give the non-politician a shot. Now that everyone has seen first hand how disastrous that turned out to be they won't be making the same mistake twice.
