Steve Bannon on MSNBC Calls for Republicans to Rally Behind Trump to Survive

Steve Bannon (https://www.haaretz.com/misc/tags/TAG-steve-bannon-1.5606880) has a dire warning for Republicans (https://www.haaretz.com/misc/tags/TAG-republican-party-1.5599320).
During a Sunday interview with The Associated Press, the former chief strategist to President Donald Trump (https://www.haaretz.com/misc/tags/TAG-donald-trump-1.5599319) said he believes the GOP would lose 35 to 40 seats in the House if the election were held today, thereby ceding their majority to Democrats (https://www.haaretz.com/misc/tags/TAG-democrat-party-1.5599321) he’s convinced will pursue impeachment. He argued there’s still time to turn that around and is launching a group, Citizens of the American Republic, to pitch the election as a vote to protect Trump from that outcome.
“You can’t look at this as a midterm and you can’t run it out of the traditional Republican playbook. If you do that, you’re going to get smoked,” said Bannon, arguing that Republicans must redouble efforts against motivated Democrats.
The effort is a test of Bannon’s sway in the GOP a year after he was fired from his White House post (https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/steve-bannon-is-out-as-white-house-chief-strategist-1.5444016). His relationship with Trump soured after a tell-all book published in January included searing quotes of Bannon portraying Trump as undisciplined and criticizing son Donald Trump Jr. His stock fell further after he stuck by Alabama Republican Roy Moore’s Senate campaign even after decades-old sexual misconduct allegations emerged. A reliably Republican Senate seat turned Democratic.

As he attempts a comeback, Bannon acknowledged the challenges he faces, including an invigorated Democratic base. Less than three months from Election Day, Democrats need a net gain of 24 seats to retake the House, and the party is increasingly bullish about its chances after strong turnout in a series of special elections. Bannon said Republicans can gain ground if they focus on turning out Trump supporters.

How low did this "Widely adored GOP base rock star" popularity fall?

Just 19% of GOP voters say they have a favorable view of Steve Bannon, according to a Morning Consult/Politico poll released Wednesday. The poll was conducted last Thursday and Friday in the wake of Bannon's public falling out with President Trump.

Why it matters: The 46% of Republicans who now say they have an unfavorable view of Bannon is up 17% from the last poll, taken Dec. 14-18. That won't help him in his "war" against the party establishment.

That was in January.

That was in January.


Firstly, MSM polls cannot always be acurrate and fluctuate.

Secondly, was this poll taken right after Trump had called him "loser" because he spilled too many beans about First Son-In-Law Kushner? That could be transient capture of a fluid situation then.

Bannon may be highly volatile, but he's one of the few with a clear picture of what's going on.

Looking at sharp tone of media attacks today, would all the faithfuls stay steady and rally behind MAGA as Bannon called?

Paying a couple of nookie-girls to keep quiet so he can be President?

Absolutely, the faithful will remain. The moderately supportive?... We'll have to wait and see.
