to ferment and reach critical mass.

With trump, every time he makes some move, the media gives him a pass for a week or two. Only now, and with timidity and trepidation, is the media beginning to report on these two. She is still an "experienced political force, with Gingrich and others in her resume" and Bannon is still a "wealthy Wall Street force who underwrites Breitfart"

No media outlet is putting their full efforts into exposing them for who they really are. OK, HuffPo cited an article from 2015. But really, that is about it. That effectively gives him (trump) a pass while these mischief makers do their thing. Remember, Bannon underwrote the book that ID'd the alleged conflicts with Clinton and her foundation while she was in State.

They will explode, but the question is when. If it too late, they will still have had a great opp to spew crap, rabies, Black Plague, and Ebola.

because the biggest threat to Hillary would be a quick implosion and replacement.

I don't think they can fix this to the extent he can come back to win. Let them drown proof for a while, bobbing up and down, going nowhere fast.

There is a point quickly approaching where they can't change horses. Ballot deadlines start soon and the bulk of them finish by the first week of September.

If he's still their candidate two weeks from now, it's pretty hard to turn back. Maybe they already feel they can't bail out and are stuck with him.

I think he's very beatable and is going to devastate down ticket races.

There is some sign of him settling down. He hasn't done much on twitter for a little while and he's delivered a couple of speeches using teleprompters. So he's starting to control his message (ignoring the crack about not trusting US intelligence).

Probably, pretty soon, there will be a media opening for Hillary and she can announce something substantial and score some points.

Once there's no turning back, then you bait him with stuff that his narcissistic ego can't handle. Some media is probably thinking of ways to do it now so they get "the video". Posters are probably taking shots on twitter. I know I have been. He'll eventually lose it and implode - like a child in a grocery store whose Moma won't by them a chocolate bar. He'll have his temper tantrum and the downward slide will pick up.

The Clinton campaign and the media can basically toy with him now. It's not hard to figure out what buttons to push. He's not smart enough or disciplined enough emotionally to control himself.

A statement which is certain to be true. Lower levels are new levels.

could be forced into an alliance in an attempt to influence Trump. Frankly, I doubt either of them will be allowed to make many decisions that do not run along the track Trump's already chosen, another way in which the expected frictions could be tamped.

I heard there's worry that this hard-line Breitbart/alt-right nationalist turn might really hurt vulnerable downballot seats. They may not be able to position themselves far enough from what could be a huge trumpster fire.

Go, Bannon! Get yourself some Ryan!
