It's just a theory that many pundits on TV are pushing. How the evidence supports a conclusion that Trump picking Bannon may be him looking past the election to exploiting his fan base for monetary gain.

Bannon has zero campaign experience, establishment Republicans hate Bannon, so why would Trump pick Bannon. Oh, he does run Breitbart though. Also, Roger Ailes is available.

It would be a great story for the Clinton campaign to run with.

Trump's Campaign Is Looking More And More Like An Elaborate Media Launch

There have been stories about how Trump was pissed at NBC and was angering for his own Network to produce and market his Gaudy Stupid Reality garbage. The head of NBC Universal said as much earlier in the week.

Trump Plaza, Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, Trump University--all busts.


Trump TV would be no better. He's a toxic personality and it always ruins things for him.

ranting about rigged this and rigged that while discussing his bullshit. Who was it that said, "A fool and his money are soon parted". I can't wait until after the campaign and the "Trump scammed me confessions start rolling in from conservative white non-college educated men. I hope Trump has a segment on his media empire where they can lodge their complaints.

Trump has said that he always likes to be the smartest man at the table because the other people like hearing him talk, and are willing to listen. Not that he's that smart, it's just that the rest of the people at the table are people like his surrogates; dumber than a doorknob. He'll probably get his own network since he's always envied Oprah Winfrey and her real Billions with a "B" and just like his envy with Obama, he figures if black people can do it, he certainly can. He'll start Trump Network and it will be reduced to reruns of the Beverly Hillbillies and a relaunching of Trump University. If stupid people want to give that LOSER their hard earned money, or their Social Security check, than God bless um.
