NYT: Mercer family splits from Bannon


well breitbart news still gets mercer family's support, apparently, bannon.... no more. may still on board there they're pretty clear they're on trump's side...


excerpt:

mercers blunt on thursday in cutting cord, reiterating support mr. trump while disavowing mr. bannon’s remarks , disowning political endeavors. “my family , have not communicated steve bannon in many months , have provided no financial support political agenda, nor support recent actions , statements,” rebekah mercer, mr. mercer’s daughter, said in statement. “i have minority interest in breitbart news , remain committed in support them.”

reference breitbart seemed implicit threat. mr. bannon chairman of breitbart, , many staff members there believe there strong chance might lose job, though dismissive of possibility on site’s daily editorial conference call on thursday night, according 1 person knowledge of call.

mr. bannon’s predicament highlights stark reality in american politics, unchanged after mr. trump’s convention-defying victory: influence of influential political strategists inextricably linked donors behind them , politicians in front of them.“if trump openly breaking him, dramatically lowers capital,” said dan k. eberhart, arizona oil investor , republican donor has spoken mr. bannon plans build antiestablishment political operation. “he strategic thinker, , lot of things said make sense, stuff book — i’m not going defend that."

​
money talks, others walk... hope bannon's got hiking shoes. how long can last @ breitbart wonder. he's going have write own best-selling book pretty quick here, or persuade he's still relevant enough make high priced speaking circuits.
 

i think bannon made mistake of thinking people voted trump based on ideals presented during campaign rather hate clinton, , hoping pull support himself since trump wasn’t following through. think he’s going have hard time gaining political relevance again if wants challenge trump in 2020.
