The year of the lunatic voter

"Saying “macaca” got George Allen defeated in 2006. Today it would probably get him elected."

"The thing about Bannon is, he doesn’t really care what his senators do when they get to Washington. Trump fired him, so he doesn’t care about Trump except to the extent he can use his methods and his voters. He doesn’t even care about the issues Republicans are trying to push through the Congress. All he cares about is blowing up the Republican establishment. Unshaven, overweight, rumpled, coarse, profane, Steve Bannon is the Harvey Weinstein of Republican politics. He’s wearing black shirts rather than a hotel bathrobe, and he’s not content with abusing only women. Setting out to elect the likes of Roy Moore and more like him, he’s bent on abusing the whole damn country."
