Have ultimately been a decision that two men came to at the same time. Whether or not there was some thought, and if there was not consider about making the administrations life and the president s life more difficult, he might have been left it. Kelly was said to have delivered the news. It is unclear and unknown, its a wild card. He goes outside independently. Steve bannon is now a household name. There is people that will be
upset that he left this white house. I talked to a bannon ally earlier this week. They said we had a sense this is coming and we look at this white house now and we see new york democrats and generals. That is not what we worked for in 2016. Steve bannon is the leader of a coalition and it remains to be seen. Let me bring in jennifer reuben. The author of the post, so your paper is quoting friends of Steve Bannons assayi saying lo he can help the president s agenda from the outside, that things were not working on the inside. Gabe sherman reports something very
he will go out there and wage war, even if the president doesn t. against dean heller, and paul ryan as they go to 2018. he will make the president s life miserable at the same time he is whispering in trump s ear saying keep at it. that is a good issue for you. i think you re seeing the unwinding of the entire pop list movement that doesn t have a end point other than a disaster. it has an end point on what we have seen this tuesday in charlottesville. there is no there there in terms of the pop list agenda. the rest of it is just a hodgepodge of zenophobia, antii m grant, but it is really about the culture wars and about race. donald trump has always been

democrats toward her vision. as we move forward in this process, do you believe she s willing to flex that muscle even if it means hurting her heart? reporter: the risk is less to the party and more to the kind of pop list agenda that she represents. you know if she pulls clinton too hard and clinton winds up winning and deciding she didn t need this democratic wing to get into the white house, then the risk there is more to the agenda. maybe clinton, at that point, can move back closer to wall street. elizabeth warren is always making the calculation about how she can amass power to accomplish her agenda. i think you may see a little caution. that s why she doesn t attack hillary clinton directly. but, you are right. there s a push and pull here and a fine line she s trying to
