Anyone that does not pay attention to what hugely successful political strategists like;
Karl Rove, David Axelrod, Roger Ailes, James Carville, Dick Morris, Lee Atwater & Steve Bannon . . .
. . . are going on about? Meh.
I have a lot of poli sci knowledge, but it is one thing to pontificate, completely another to win elections.
These are the folks that have the most insight into the collective political culture of the nation, regardless of politics.
There are several folks in there I don't care for, but I always pay attention to what they are saying.
Bullcrap list.Ailes did not comment on Politics.
Was far too busy trying to maintain his Fox duties.
Plus his many inside Fox fights regarding employment
harassment.He also had a medical condition.
Axelrod was a closet Marxist.His mother worked for
a very leftist publication.Rove was a dutiful Bushie
guy.Basically the Bush family owned Rove.Dick Morris
went out of favor years ago.
Steve Bannon is a very strong patriot.Looks like shit
warmed over but is brilliant.
Last November - Vanity Fair - ran a special article
on Steve Bannon.It explained the guy to a tee.
The best book on Bannon { the Traditionalist } was
Benjamin Teitelbaum's - War for Eternity : Inside
Bannon's Far-Right Circle of Global Power Brokers.
He describes Bannon NOT as a political reporter but
as a scholar interested in an obscure school of thought
known as Traditionalism.
One reason he lugs around so many pens in his
pockets.
