His 'Fake News' thing is getting a bit freaky. It's like his 'Crooked Hillary' line. He is talking past us, and directly to a subgroup.

I kid you not when I say that I think his media survey is meant for discovery. 'Who agrees with the crazy shit I am saying? Great, give me your contact info.' Volunteers are what he's going to want next.

I freely agree that Steve Bannon would love to stock his Army of Darkness from like-minded Internet dweebs. But this isn't the way he'd do it. Remember - I'm on that list. Have been since November. He's preachin' to the choir already.

And what he wants is adulation. He's already campaigning again. It's been four weeks. He's been on vacation twice, called a hasty press conference to riff and slag on the press, and is running off this weekend to surround himself with crazed, cheering sycophants.

Have you seen this shit?

Dude can't even get his wife to come to the office. Which happens to be down the hall from the bedroom. Which she doesn't sleep in. And if you can't even get Trophy Wife #3 to show up, is it worth it?
