If indeed Steve Bannon is out at the White House, he's being "fired" because his job is done.

It only took Scaramucci 10 days. Bannon's job may have taken 211 days, but it's the same principle.

It also helps create the illusion that Kelly's got a handle on things, thus implicitly promising yet another Trump "pivot" that won't come.

Watch how Republicans work to save this presidency. It's sinister. If they really cared about stopping Trump, they'd call for his removal.

One of the problems with the "President Bannon" narrative is that it created an outsized expectation that things will change in the White House if only Bannon were gone.
The problem is that Bannon can wield an entirely different kind of influence from outside the White House.
The other problem is that there are still a lot of extremely dangerous and dreadfully vile people left inside the White House. Including and especially the actual president.
