Bannon: Trump will win reelection with '400 electoral votes'

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said Saturday that President Trump will "win with 400 electoral votes in 2020," following reports that he had lost faith in the president's ability to complete his current term.

"The populist, nationalist, conservative revolt that's going on, that drove Donald Trump to victory, that drove Judge [Roy] Moore to victory, that will drive 15 candidates to victory in 2018, and I hate to break it Graydon Carter and the good folks at Vanity Fair, but yes, President Trump is not only going to finish this term, he's going to win with 400 electoral votes in 2020," Bannon said during a speech at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.

Bannon reportedly said several months ago that Trump only has a 30 percent chance of finishing his current term, a source told Vanity Fair, who said the president also did not know the function of the 25th Amendment, which allows a majority of the Cabinet to vote for the president to be removed from office.

Bannon returned to the far-right Breitbart News outlet after leaving the White House in August. The former Trump strategist said he left his post to be a "wingman outside" the White House for Trump to help advance the president's agenda.

In his speech Saturday, Bannon also committed that he would "get to the progressive Democrats," but said that "right now it's a season of war against the GOP establishment."

Bannon laid out his plans to back challengers to establishment Republicans in Congress for the 2018 midterm elections in an interview earlier this week.

"There's a coalition coming together that is going to challenge every Republican incumbent except for Ted Cruz," Bannon told Sean Hannity on Fox News on Monday.

Bannon rallied for former judge Roy Moore in Alabama's Senate GOP runoff last month. Moore defeated Sen. Luther Strange (R), who was endorsed by Trump and congressional Republicans.

Trump surpassed the necessary 270 electoral votes in the Electoral College to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Trump won 304 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton's 227.

Bannon Squashes ‘Trump Has 30% Chance of Completing Term’ Fake News — Predicts Massive 2020 Victory (VIDEO)

It was widely reported by the mainstream media this week that former Chief White House Strategist and Breitbart News chairman Steve Bannon believes President Trump has only a 30% chance of completing a full term.


Independent UK reports:

Donald Trump’s former senior aide Steve Bannon thinks the President only has a 30 per cent chance of staying in office for a full term in what insiders have said is a White House in turmoil.

Mr Bannon warned Mr Trump about the 25th amendment to the US Constitution, the rule that would allow the Cabinet to vote him out of office under specific circumstances related to how the president’s health – physical or mental – impairs their ability to perform the duties of the office.

According to Vanity Fair, Mr Trump’s response was: “What’s that?”


Mr Bannon, who has since returned to the helm of Breitbart News, reportedly told the President his own Cabinet was more of a threat than impeachment by Congress.

According to ABC News, Bannon, speaking at the 2017 Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC Saturday, squashed reports where he allegedly said Trump has only a 30% chance of completing a full term.

“Speakers include Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon, former Deputy Assistant to the President Dr. Sebastian Gorka, and soon-to-be Fox News primetime host Laura Ingraham,” reports Breibtart News.

“Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon: “Pres. Trump’s not only going to finish this term, he’s going to win with 400 electoral votes in 2020,” tweeted ABC News.



AP reports Bannon is laying down the groundwork for an epic conservative insurgency to take over the GOP in 2018:

President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon has declared war on the Republican establishment, and now he’s amassing his troops. They include a convicted felon, a perennial candidate linked to an environmental conspiracy theory, and a Southern lawmaker known for provocative ethnic and racial comments.

Bannon is promoting challengers to GOP incumbents and the party’s preferred candidates in next year’s midterm elections. It’s an insurgency that could imperil Republican majorities in the House and Senate.

The emerging Bannon class of rabble-rousers share limited ideological ties but have a common intent to upend Washington and knock out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., standard-bearer of the establishment.

It was nice of Bannon to clear the decks at the Values Summit of the FAKE NEWS bubbling around.
