"Breitbart News CEO Steve Bannon and GOP strategist Kellyanne Conway are now running Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign"

Watching the cable news networks' (and, to a degree, the broadcast OTA networks') latest reality show, "Trump Runs For President", it's easy to forget one important fact: Donald Trump is not and has never been a serious candidate. There is no way he would ever give up his 'empire', such as it is, to take a job where he has to really, truly work 24x365 for the next 4 years. No f'ing way he was ever going to do that. This is what upsets the old-school movement conservatives to no end - they know it, Trump knows it and so do the newstainment networks.

But... if the networks let on that they also know this, then there would be no more point in watching their shit show. After all, it's not likely that another Malaysian airliner is going to disappear any time soon, so this makes for great programming, and it will have lasted, by the time of the election, a year and a half.

Now, Trump has ignored his children - the closest thing in his world to a voice of reason - and hired the two slimiest propagandists to ever walk the earth to advise him. When it's all over, Trump won't be able to attach his ruined name to any kind of deal or development. He lost his broadcast network (MSM) reality show and pageant. So now he's going to build an alternative (bizarro) news network that takes Brietbart and Drudge to the next level of crazy.

He likely is building the next generation of media empire - kind of like what Glen Beck tried to do. He is the Palin phenomena on steroids. As I've heard it stated: it's not Trump we need to be afraid of, it's what comes after...
