Cheer up sink. I am not desperate in the least. Matter of fact, I am quite happy to not be helping to pave Clinton's road to the WH.

Bannon is paving that road now.

A lot of puzzle pieces are coming together. As pixels morph into more definition, the big picture emerges slowly. We're in worse trouble than I originally feared.

The one silver lining this very dark cloud could produce is God's stepping in and untangling the mess we've created. Contingent upon that, however, is our allowing Him to do so, in which case we'd have to let go of our limited ability to rationalize how we're going to save the world and allow Him to move. What do you suppose the chances of that are? (<--rhetorical question)

Hmmmm.

I gotta say, that is a new one on me. "We" are going to allow God.....???

All righty then.

On the contrary, I think Mr. Trump has found his True Believer, the one man who will follow him right down into the bunker er, uh, right through to the end.  But I suspect that unlike another historical figure, after it's all done Mr. Bannon will walk away, and on to his next endeavor.  10294

Least he could do if he won't bite the pill...is fall on his sword.  Dying Devotion to the King of orange is demanded.  I think it is right above Trumps nondisclosure agreement in his employment contract.

I still think Trump is a stalking horse and this apparent convergence of Trump, Ailes and now Bannon certainly sounds like the making of a new media network/empire that may have been the original intent.

Yes, God's will be done.  It is often hard to watch things play themselves out but ultimately we trust Him. 

In the mean time I'll keep trying to find as much humor in this monstrosity as I can.

I thought 240B framed perfectly the paradox that is NeverTrump:

"Just to be very, very, clear, I DO NOT WANT HILLARY TO WIN!. But, I do want Trump to lose because he is not a real conservative. So, if Hillary has to win, to keep a person who is not conservative out of the W.H., then that is what we have to do. It is the only thing that makes any sense."

 :silly:

Thank you for that gem, @240B! I'm sure the irony of that is lost on sinkspur et al.

(Shhhh. They hate Donald Trump, Don'tcha know?)

How do you think this will be a game changer? 

After reading the entire article, it's hard not to wonder what Bannon has on Hillary.  He's running an investigative organization that gathers verifiable dirt and feeds it to major media.  He was behind "Clinton Cash."

I have no idea what to think, but it should be fun to watch.

First hand experience, Ben would know.  Bannon's just another guy with no campaign experience trying to tag along to see what he can get out of it for himself.

Is this the same Trump who recently had his delegates vote in lockstep with every single rules change the RNC put forward at the GOP Convention?

No, Trump is.  Any campaign against Hillary Clinton should easily be a slam dunk.  Yet Trump commits unforced error after unforced error after unforced error.  Trump is literally driving voters away every time he opens his mouth.  Trump is the best campaign commercial the Hillary camp could have ever created.

So now you're tarring and feathering anyone and everyone who does not support Trump, including people who will, and have always, voted for a third party.  Somebody who votes third party because they cannot stand either the GOP or the DNC candidate is not "really" wishing for Clinton to win.  That is a logical fallacy that has been laid bare many times before; too bad you haven't the sense God gave you to use your brains instead of your fear, spite, and hatred.  Mr. alt-right.

Boy, it must be nice having such a black-and-white view of the world; no ambiguities - or realities - to deal with; just your own omphalos.

 "fear, spite, and hatred" sounds suspiciously like the Never's narrative.

"Trump is going to start a nuclear war"

"People who vote for Trump are siding with morons"

"Trump is the most evil candidate ever"

Listen to yourselves! You have no room to talk.

Are NeverTrumpers responsible for the polling results in all of these states?
