I frankly wish you didnt have to rush.
But marginal hes not.
(Some not-so-presentable candidates, too, like Hizzoner Roy Moore.)
And Bannon believes that victory is within reach.
He has that he puts the percentage in the mid-to-high 30s.
He just needs to convince an increasingly susceptible 15 to 20 percent of the rest.
Hes excellent at motivating people.
But he cites Trump, whose campaign he took over, as teaching him theres no bad PR.
He was right to trust her.
She doesnt take too many cheap shots at him.
Bannons strategy with interviewers is simple: Deny, deny, deny.
In his talks before adoring audiences, he cites dishonest liberals who call him axenophobeor aracist.
Imagine, him a xenophobe!
In Hungary, hes a Hungarian nationalist, warning that immigrants destabilize Western societies.
Hes too smart to call Trumps proposed Muslim ban constitutional.
He calls it instead a necessary shock to the system.
Define necessary, shock, and system how you will.
Paul Lewis of theGuardiancharges him with dog-whistle anti-Semitism, especially in his frequent invocations of George Soros.
Deny, deny, deny its just that Soros, he says, is behind so many destabilizing movements.
Others of Kwoks ilk decline to be named and Bannon declines to name them.
Thanks to the Citizens United verdict, he doesnt have to.
His main retort is that hes not what they say he is.
I have to confess that I see Bannons charm.
Gawd, I wish I could be in my element the way Steve Bannon is.
He wakes up every day certain of his mission.
Its possible that hes not being cynical when he tells a Republican crowd that Trumps election was divine providence.
That said, theres a lot of outright dishonesty on display inThe Brink.
The violence comes from the left remember the Black Panthers?
As for the now convicted, militantly Trumpist bomb maker, Cesar Sayoc?
As Emily Litella would say, Never mind.
Hes depressed he knows the party in power in the House controls appropriations but hardly deterred.
The title ofThe Brink never uttered in the film is the true message.
Holy shit, respect him.
Sloppy Steve has a tidy vision of the world to come.
