Newt Gingrich: There's no coming back for Steve Bannon
by Al Weaver | Jan 4, 2018, 1:14 PM

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich believes Steve Bannon's days are numbered after his explosive public back-and-forth with President Trump.

Gingrich was at the Capitol on Thursday for a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. As he left, he was asked if Bannon could survive his battle with Trump.

“No,” Gingrich mouthed while nodding his head as he exited the Capitol. “No,” he reiterated.

That reply came a day after Trump said Bannon “lost his mind” after he left the White House. Trump was responding to excerpts of a book in which Bannon said Donald Trump Jr.’s decision to accept a meeting with Russians was “treasonous.”

A McConnell spokesman didn’t say what he discussed with Gingrich in his meeting.

Steve Bannon Reportedly Lost Financial Support of Mercer After Touting Presidential Ambitions
Mediaite, Jan 4, 2018, Aidan McLaughlin

<snip>

Buried in the report, however, is a revealing piece of information:

“Bannon has in recent weeks also alienated his main financial backer, Rebekah Mercer,” WaPo reports, “after he told several other major conservative donors that he would be able to count on the Mercers’ financial support should he run for president, a person familiar with the conversations said.”

“The person said Mercer now does not plan to financially support Bannon’s future projects — and that she was frustrated by his moves in Alabama and some of his comments in the news media that seemed to stoke unnecessary fights.”

More and more stories are cropping up that Breitbart is seriously considering dumping Bannon.  But nothing from the news site itself.
