Bannon: 'Zero' doubt Trump will run for reelection

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 02/24/19 08:13 AM EST

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he has "zero" doubt that President Trump will run for reelection in 2020, but cautioned the release of the special counsel's report could shake up the political landscape.

"I happen to think now, the president is going to run again in 2020 and I think he'll win. I think he'll win bigger than he won in 2016," Bannon said on CBS's "Face the Nation," citing the strong economy.

"But ... I believe that we're going to enter into an extraordinary time in American politics," he added. "We've allowed the Democrats, because they take control of the House, to weaponize a whole bunch of investigations. They’ve been- They're going to be able to weaponize the Mueller report, 2019's going to be quite vitriolic."

Trump has given every indication he plans to run for reelection in 2020. He held his first campaign rally of 2019 in El Paso, Texas, earlier this month, and has tweeted regularly about Democratic efforts to unseat him next year.

It's either four more years, or twenty to life.

I'm referring to this statement of his:

"But ... I believe that we're going to enter into an extraordinary time in American politics," he added. "We've allowed the Democrats, because they take control of the House, to weaponize a whole bunch of investigations. They’ve been- They're going to be able to weaponize the Mueller report, 2019's going to be quite vitriolic."

And the republicans didn't weaponize their efforts to get HRC on Benghazi numerous times? Amazing that he ignores this totally despite the fact that HRC, despite all of the numerous Benghazi hack jobs that the republicans ran against her, never found anything (and they wouldn't either, since nothing wrong was done to begin with).

What a partisan jerk...
