Bannon's Grand Return

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : He also has a good relationship with Trump.
61% : Congressional Republicans are counting on Trump to win them their majorities.
56% : Trump has a better understanding of what to look for in appointees, though he still may value perceived personal loyalty over ideology and policy.
40% : Finally, Trump turned to his family to find loyalists in the White House.
36% : If Trump loses, the GOP will be lucky to have 51 or 52 senators and the House becomes shakier.
35% : Trump undervalued the importance of policy alignment in personnel and many parts of his agenda couldn't be well served by simply bumping every previous Republican administration official up a rung or two.
30% : Neither Bannon nor Attorney General Jeff Sessions, also a more thoroughgoing Trumpist than Trump himself, lasted the duration of that tumultuous first term in the White House.
19% : Trump was also forced into an uneasy alliance with a congressional Republican leadership team headed by Mitch McConnell and Paul Rayn, both of whom were very different flavors of conservative.
14% : The parties appear to have traded the Cheneys for Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. All of this could look rather different if Trump loses, however.
10% : Ryan is gone from Congress and McConnell is stepping back into a Mitt Romney-like role, the elder statesman who irritates Trump and positions himself as the conscience of the party.
