Yamiche Alcindor: Bannon Has Proven with This Race that He’s Not the Best Person To Be Picking Candidates

EXCERPT:

ALCINDOR: “I think there's going to be a lot of blame. You see now President Trump in the tweets he’s doing this morning, kind of reckoning with his own sense of failure. He was really haunted, I think, by his endorsement of Luther Strange that then felt flat. When Roy Moore won that primary he then wanted to follow the will of the people. And what we're seeing now is that President Trump has almost lost control of his own messaging. There is this idea that Steve Bannon is now the one that will be the puppeteer, picking candidates and then he will be whispering in the President’s ear saying, 'This is what you need to do.' And President Trump is not trusting his gut, he's leaving that to Steve Bannon. And Steve Bannon has proven with this race that can't do that, that he’s maybe not the best person to be picking candidates."
