Bannon and Conway were both the idea of Rebekah Mercer. She pushed for them to be hired.

Bannon and Conway are longtime Mercer hacks.

Bannon thought at one time that Palin would be the perfect candidate to push his agenda.

Then he thought Trump would be, and with Trump has found success.

Bannon and Conway both know to stroke Trump's ego just right.

They can work him and use him, and Trump won't mind being used as long as he gets the accolades and the financial rewards.

Trump probably sees it as a mutually benefiting relationship but the truth is, it's a Bannon OP all the way.
