Bannon must have forgotten how he became a multimillionaire. What a hypocrite he is.

He is playing the base like a violin with his dog whistle.

So what?

If an actor makes a lucid point, especially if they support it...or if they're an engineer, a baseball player or a walmart greeter....I'm going to take their comments on their merits.

The fact that most of america is pretty stupid and can't process garbage from reality....ain't my problem.
In comparison to what?

Not that I know a bunch of actors, but I suspect in general they are more educated than most people of similar age. Don Glover's about my age. I don't think I'm going out on a huge limb in saying he's more educated than most people my age. I wouldn't want to put my education up against his in a broader sense. The few liberal arts classes I've taken were exercises in just how narrow my education is. People's conversations often times made little more sense to me than if they'd wandered into one of my classes and I was trying to explain Fourier transforms to them.

Maybe Bannon has decided to turn back to attacking Hollywood Actors (Round 2 of this ) to deflect from Trump's Katrina (aka Hurricane Maria). Trump's crazy twitter rant today really gave him lots of bad press. Maybe Trump asked Bannon to help change the narrative.

I wonder if Bannon meets up with Trump at Trump's golf courses on weekends.

You forgot about Flake. He is going to get the chit knocked out of him.

Well, two so far have become Presidents. Both conservatives, both old. One is currently serving.

Apparently, there were enough voters who thought the were politically expert enough to get the job.

Bannon is an alcoholic who wears Depends for when he's too drunk to make it to the bathroom in time. I doubt many take his standard for intelligence very seriously.

I wish I could listen to this show everyday. At some point I might even call in.
I never listen to what professional pretenders say.

Actors just have a major platform, and some say stupid things.
I would say this sums it up pretty accurately.

Reagan was an actor. I suppose you could argue Trump is too because he was on TV for so long for The Apprentice. The governator as well. Come to think of it, probably more actors who have served the GOP in a public office than Dems. Still stupid?

I agree that Trump is not conservative in anything like the traditional sense. That does not change the fact that most of the conservatives I know voted for him and continue to support him.

Riiiight. I seriously doubt you hit the honey hole whereby conservatives supported a non conservative. When everywhere else a minority of conservatives voted for trump. The anyone but hillary crowd won it for trump and making things up about conservatives doesn't change that.

Why would conservatives support him when the repeal and replace is a mess? And they haven't. Why would conservatives support him when he's not cutting spending? And they haven't.

When his policies are conservative, they'll support those policies. Unlike the progressive left that didn't hold obama accountable the conservatives have voiced their disapproval whenever trump does something not conservative. And that's your confusion. Because the left blindly supported obama to a laughable level like "No boots on the ground" doesn't mean conservatives are partisan hacks too.

Between the conservatives supported trump myth, and the false race card playing, and the horrible progressive policies which cannot be defended, is it any wonder the democrats are flailing in the wind and losing support.
