  1. That's so stereotypical normie that the host brings up Charlottsville, instead of asking him a thoughtful interesting question. That's like if Bernie Sanders gave a speech and the host asked him about the Steve Scalice shooting.

  2. I still don't know whether I buy into his economic ideas. But the progressive left has no ideas, whatsoever. All they can do is call someone racist, and try to have someone censored, deplatformed.

  3. That's what's so fascinating about this. The left has some intellectual disease. They can't debate ideas. They only know character assassination and authoritarian tactics.

  4. @golfboy1989 I don't know what "rehearsed manner" is supposed to mean. He never looked at a page of notes. It was petty much the opposite of that. Watch an Obama speech, where he's reading the entire thing from a teleprompter, that's actually a scripted speech. Or, much worse, listen to Hillary Clinton give a speech. It sounds exactly as if you open a pdf of political boiler plate on Adobe and set it on auto-read.

  5. @golfboy1989 I've listened to a few of his speeches. He's summarizing the same set of ideas, but it's not the same speech. In a previous comment I mentioned that the left has sort of affliction. You're trying to argue that there's something sinister behind this. But you're arguing in a way that makes absolutely no sense. If he's a politician then he's one of the most genuine and unscripted ones. He didn't look at a page of notes and he avoided boiler plate. The questioners actually gave him the msnbc boiler plate: that he's whipping up racists, that Trump is undermining democracy. He responded effectively. Making them look like NPCs. The woman who accused him of "undermining democracy" responded completely incoherently to his response: "People are voting for outsiders who are further dissolving democratic institutions by draining the swamp and cleaning up institutions." That's not undemocratic.

  6. It's amazing that if you hear pundits on CNN and MSNBC talk about Bannon. Then you hear his speeches. They literally aren't even talking about the same person. That's one of the reasons the mainstream was defeatable. When you spend all your time attacking strawmen you don't address their ideas.

  7.  @larrybxl5406  This is Steve Bannon, not Trump. With Trump it's always others who attack him first. But he hits back. And to his credit, it's always his opponents who play the victim afterwards. There's a reason why Trump got support. McCain and Romney were attacked the same way. The media called them racist, sexist, homophobes, etc. But they were obedient, and didn't attack back. So people finally figured that if they're going to get mugged (metaphorically speaking) then you might as well put the quarters in a sock like Paul Kersey.

  8. They have to bring that up every time, when the car killer had no more to do with Trump than Sanders supporter who killed two on a Portland train and the shooter who almost killed Steve Scalice. It's such a disingenuous point. The Dallas BLM shooter was a big fan of TYT, perhaps Cenk Uygurs race baiting had something to do with him murdering 5 cops. They don't hold themselves to the same standard.

  9. Trump will probably win in 2020. Obama got shellacked much worse in the 2010 midterms and he still won reelection.

  10. It's ridiculous. You can be a racist and never make a racist comment. They just have preprogrammed responses.

  11.  Paul Temple  Steve Bannon didn't support the tax cuts. He said he wanted a slight tax increase.
