(Lifezette) The architect of Ronald Reagan's 49-state landslide in 1984 said Thursday that Stephen Bannon, more than anyone else, is responsible for President-Elect Donald Trump's upset election victory last month.
Ed Rollins, co-chairman of the pro-Trump Great America PAC, said on the "The Laura Ingraham Show" that campaign manager Kellyanne Conway did a great job as a visible spokeswoman for Trump. But it was Bannon, Rollins said, who laid out the strategy behind the scenes.
It was really Bannon who made it all happen," he said. "Obviously, he's a guy I would always want in the trenches with me."
