Bannon is not finished: his ‘precinct strategy’ could alter US elections for years

One longtime Bannon watcher says it's too early to count him out - even a prison term could enhance his status among the Maga crowd

When Steve Bannon heard that he was, after all, going to face charges last week for allegedly ripping off contributors to a multimillion-dollar fund to build a wall on the Mexican border, he claimed it was a sign of his success.

Donald Trump's former strategist said his arrest on Thursday was an attempt to shut down his War Room pod and video cast because it is driving grassroots support for the former president's Make America Great Again (Maga) movement and reshaping the Republican party ahead of the midterm elections.
