How Jared Kushner may have scored a major victory...

And Kushner, more than anyone, has told people Trump must moderate to be successful, work with Democrats and Republicans. Opposite of Bannon's view.

Steve Bannon’s run as the White House’s chief strategist ended Friday, delivering a major victory to his growing list of opponents within President Donald Trump’s administration, including son-in-law Jared Kushner.
The differences between the two, which has led to months of reports of a simmering feud, was laid bare over the past week. Bannon was said to have been rejoicing at President Donald Trump’s press conference Tuesday in which he blamed “both sides” for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, during a white nationalist rally. Kushner is an Orthodox Jew.
quote:
During one of their heated conversations, Bannon told Kushner, according to an April New York Times report: “Here’s the reason there’s no middle ground: You’re a Democrat.”
Bannon and Kushner were locked in a perennial battle for the ear of Trump, fighting to win the battle of influence over matters such as whether to pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement.
It is exactly that kind of squabbling that General John Kelly has reportedly been trying to eradicate since he became the president’s chief of staff late last month. Kelly was keen to gain control of the flow of information to the president and diminish the aides and family members vying for his attention. Bannon’s removal makes that task easier.

I think Kushner's influence is oversold.
If anything, it's Ivanka doing the influencing. But it's an easier pill for the goldennuggets of the world to swallow if the Donald is being led astray by the silver tongued Jew and not the hottie with the perfect rack.

Thing is, that would've been good advice in January
But in the last six months Trump has poisoned the well with Congress, not just with Dems, but moderate Reps

Kushner is a neoconservative. Bannon is the only rational voice about foreign policy in Trump's inner-circle. If we ramp up the war in Afghanistan, Trump won't be re-elected imo.

Kushner is pro Israel but he's not a NeoCon.
Kushner is the guy that put the Saudi deal together. I would have Kushner negotiating NAFTA and pretty much all my deals.

I actually find the most Anti Israel to be Jewish Americans. And Kushner can't be a Neoconservative if he isn't even a conservative

Arms deals with the world's largest purveyor of terroism isn't a good thing. And support for the Saudi's is a hallmark of neoconservativism. I wish Trump had listened to Rand Paul instead of Kushner on that point.

Trump bombed Syria and threatened North Korea. Trumps got his own mind on things I think we all know that.

Jared isn't worried about optics as much as getting the job done. He takes criticism well and doesn't gloat in his victories on behalf of the President.

Makes sense - breitbart itself is a threat to Drudge as the go to site for conservatives

I'm about the Trump agenda. Not necessarily Trump himself because politicians come and go. The biggest thing missing is competence in the White House and that begins with the inner circle. Almost all those folks that have left brought little expertise on policy but were all political animals. This is a major reason why the agenda has suffered and many of the leaks were from the inner circle.
If I know one thing it's that Kushner won that election for Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsyvania and Ohio. I don't see Jared running his mouth about anything. In fact, he's the person we should Trust the most. Trumps Infrastructure and Trade Policies (NAFTA) are actually liberal policies and fit Jareds portfolio. The Saudi deal was Jared and parent paid leave is Ivanka. They are from the left but represent an important part of the Trump platform.
I may come off as strange but I find people that are Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians or "Trump can do no wrong cult" as the weirdest folks on earth.
