N that’s why folks should refrain from using the term ‘nazi’.
Fascist? Maybe
Authoritarian? Maybe
But Nazis? Nah

Are you familiar with the Pygmalion myth?
Like Pygmalion, Bannon likely saw someone that he could sculpt into what would be seen as acceptable to the public and at the same time, controllable.

Trump ran against that 2012 autopsy.

Ha, ha, ha! Yup, I think you are spot on. Because George Slimeball Conway is one ambitious mofo and would be jumping at the chance otherwise.

In the dead of winter several months ago – before either one officially joined the Justice Department – Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein met to discuss replacing James Comey as FBI director. Then in a February meeting at the White House, Rosenstein and President Donald Trump further “discussed” Comey’s “deeply troubling” and “serious mistakes,” Rosenstein wrote in his now-infamous letter recommending that Comey be fired.
The failure to flag any such concerns to Comey before terminating him is part of what makes the former FBI director feel so blindsided. It’s also part of the story he’s planning to tell lawmakers next week when – barring a last-minute schedule change – he testifies publicly for the first time about his axing, and about alleged collusion between Trump associates and elements of the Russian government to influence last year’s presidential election.

Maybe it will result in a warrant for his arrest.

No argument about those two, I think. Now “Nazi” (or “Hitler”) is debatable and if you go deep into strict historical and conceptual arguments there are indeed issues. However, the fact remains that Trump does attract Nazi- and Hitler-sympathizers (precisely for the above two “Absolutely” reasons). Not meaning to defend it, but I see how people see connections there.
Meaning Bannon yet again found his ideal candidate.
Now, however, Trump might not have been his top preference… Cambridge Analytica was first hired by someone else.
Then I remember how this someone else was kissing Trump’s ass till the point when it was between him and Trump (and Kasich).
This thing is much deeper than we know it is at this point.
