You're prolly right on Bannon, NCD, because: there's no there there!

Clare, if Gillespie was “swamp thing,” as Breitbart wrote, how many Breitbart-approved candidates on the ballot before Election Day 2018? Is it just Roy Moore in Alabama? Strikes me that analysts won’t have many more opportunities to evaluate how the Breitbart message plays in this environment before the midterms.

TrumpBannon Populism party has no candidates and no funding system. The meetings with Mercer after he left the White House were probably just pie-in-the-sky ruminations on same. This is also why he was reaching out to that progressive writer on trade protectionism against China in his last days, thinking about coalitions with the most fervant Sandersnistas.. For all the bluster and viral hype, it's still infancy without candidates. How many other billionaires available besides Mercer and Trump that would sign on to the Bannon program? Koch's are in strong opposition. He was thinking Tea Party to Freedom Caucus to even greater power, instead they are flailing and failing. They are not ready with candidates to fill the resignations of the RINOS. His "let Trump be Trump" mantra is just going to backfire in those RINO districts. Also backfires with Sandersnistas.

Democrats won 10 Virginia house seats. They are leading in another 7.

I think the story here is going to be outreach by the Democratic Party.
