G.O.P. Establishment Declares Open Season on a Weakened Bannon

A small group of conservative leaders had gathered in the Trump International Hotel last week for a friendly discussion about the year that was ending and their priorities for the year to come, when Stephen K. Bannon spoke up.

“I’m not going to name names,” he snapped, looking around the room as he complained about being left virtually alone to defend Roy S. Moore, accused of sexually molesting and assaulting teenage girls, while the Republican leadership and Democrats bludgeoned the Alabama Senate candidate. “If we want to win,” he added, according to three people who were in the room, “We need to stop playing footsie with the establishment. They’re just going to string you along, pat you on your head, and send you on your way.”

.....many Washington Republicans have no intention of patting Mr. Bannon on the head. They intend to kneecap him before he has the chance to recover.

“First is to dry up his money,” said Scott W. Reed, the chief political strategist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a pillar of the Republican establishment, explaining how top Republicans in Washington were making a new round of calls to donors across the country to press them not to donate to Mr. Bannon or the candidates he supports.

Mitch McConnell and the GOP establishment are clearly to blame for the recent loss of the Republican Senate seat.....

[Trump_vs_Evil_Witch]

A little birdie tells me that persons on the GOPe side were engaged in flipping Republican votes to Democrat recently in Alabama.

[Yosemitest]

Bannon has the funds to get to the ROOT of the fraudulent votes in Alabama, and the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" know it !

Don't for one second think that Judy Roy Moore lost that election !
Can't you see DemocRAT generated FAKE VOTES right in front of you ?

The information in the article Vote Fraud of Alabama from TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2017, deserves saving.

...

There is absolutely not any way that Roy Moore lost the Alabama election for United States Senate. This was a matter again of vote rigging in population centers.

Simply look at the massive margins which Doug Jones had to pile up in concentrated population areas. To put it plainly, Alabama is a state of 6 out of 10 voters are Republicans, in remembering this 60 to 40 percent margin, look at these numbers in percentages for Doug Jones.



 Bullock 80.4%
Macon 88.1
Montgomery 72.1
Dallas 74.7
Perry 79
Wilcox 76.7
Hale 87.6
Sumter 80.9
Jefferson 69.6
Mobile 57.2
Madison 56.9


One only sees numbers like this in Pyongyang, Tehran and Peking. In a state of 60% Republicans who were highly motivated for Roy Moore, while Doug Jones was getting Hillary Clinton no shows at his events, and we are to believe that in Macon County 90% of the voters voted for Doug Jones?

I did an inquiry of the matrix and the numbers which returned were a long the lines of a month ago in Roy Moore won by 62% and Doug Jones lost in 28% of the vote.

This is what the deep state looks like when it steals an election. FOX comes out with a bogus poll to repress voting, but is more to prepare the Republicans for defeat, as Matt Drudge bashes the Alabama Citizens over the head for months, for the fag vote mafia.

What took place is e vote fraud, write ins, vote fraud and busing in voters. At one point Doug Jones somehow got 60,000 votes in a few moments.

[snarkytart]

Bannon is just a man, the movement he brought to the forefront is not weakened, NYT. Nice try, though.

It took millions including a well orchestrated behind the scenes sneak attack relentlessly pushed every day for weeks to make Moore lose by 1%. Do these slime balls really have the energy and money to do this for many seats next year?
Because Jones sure in the hell did not win because of his IDEAS are popular. There is NO grass roots movement that got him into office, just millions upon millions of money and dirty tricks with national media pushing the sexual assault narrative nonstop.

that is what I call a temporary battle victory, but the war is long. Without ideas driving your movement it’s not going anywhere you globalist turds,except where it’s been going for the last 8 years starting under Obama...down the toilet.

The NYT thinks one seat with the ENTIRE EFFING ESTABLISHMENT including MOore’s own party, the media complex, and Hollywood trying to take him down and succeeding means there is some “movement’ or “mood” among voters? really?
Yet the ignore all the seats the left has lost across the country locally and nationally for the last several years including 95% of the special elections.

[snarkytart]

yea i mean something is up when that many people turn out for Jones when blacks and liberals didn’t even turn out like that for Obama’s first term in Alabama. Very odd.

[lgjhn23]

Somewhere on here, I read that the two states that contributed the most money to Jones’ campaign were: New York & California. It wouldn’t surprise me that they stole this Senate seat....they’ve done it before and will likely do it again IF it’s a candidate that doesn’t meet the UniParty criteria. One thing for sure....it stinks.

[MarvinStinson]

There is NO DIFFERENCE between the G.O.P. Establishment and the New York Times .

[drypowder]

Essentially, Trump’s base is Bannon’s base. The DC RINOs would be well advised to take heed of that fact before they step all over their Winnie’s by belittling Bannon. They’ll just suck all the more if/when they do. For one, I won’t forget.

[jz638]

They will never get it, will they? Trump, Bannon, the people showing up to Tea Party rallies, these are effects of decades of republican politicians delivering for their special interest donors over their constitutents. Years of promising to be not like the democrats, but ending up just like the democrats.- just a little slower, is not a winning strategy.

Yeah, the non-establishment republican factions haven’t always picked top talent, but a large part of that is how toxic the environment has become. You have to be half crazy to try to win a statewide election as a novice and knowing your party will undermine you just out of spite. The trend of primaries being won by outsiders shouldn’t be dismissed though, it should be a signal to invite more and better outsiders to the party. It should put the establishment on notice that their offerings are lacking. Be better, work for the votes in the primaries instead of expecting a coronation, and once in office actually work for interests of the constituents and Steve Bannon wouldn’t have a platform.

[Maudeen]

How can Bannon be weakened? He is his own person. Says and does what he wants in my opinion.

[Ceebass]

While I agree with you 100% the fact is Moore should have won by at least 5% if the people of Alabama gave a damn about the MAGA agenda.

The same phenomenon seems to exist in VA.

Whether it’s a RINO in VA or a Jesse Helms conservative in AL neither can win if the Trump voters stay home. Because it looks to me as though the folks who voted for Donald in 2016 think they did their job and now they’re done.

If that’s the mindset we’re dealing with now, then we could be in big trouble for 2018.

[Dave W]

I have a feeling the establishment does not know who you are, nor cares who you are nor cares about your opinion. But thanks for sharing with us your opinion.

[Dave W]

Of course, Republicans are in big trouble in 2018. All you have to do is look at the midterms historically. The party in the White House usually loses a fairly sizeable number of seats. This is not a mystery nor unusual. The supporters of the president usually are complacent. Very happy and oblivious or they are mad because the presidents party has not made them completely happy, so they stay home. Meanwhile, the voters on the other side are highly motivated and can’t wait to vote against the president party. All you have to do is look at Obama’s midterm elections. Obama fueled resentment and anger among conservatives. Basically, the Democrats were destroyed while he was in office. However he was not unpopular. That was proven by his reelection. His supporters came out when he was on the ballot and stayed home when he was not. I have the feeling the same thing will happen in 2018. Trump will not be on the ballot, and many of his voters will stay home.

Well, the article does point out (quite objectively) how he was "snapping" at the small group of conservative leaders that had gathered for a friendly discussion. So that proves that he is at least irascible, right?

Sure is ODD that they never spend a DIME doing the same thing against Tom Steyer or George Soros. Gosh, it's almost as if... Thanks Trump_vs_Evil_Witch.

[Boomer]

The only things worse than a dem are RINO’s and GOPe’ers.

[Pollster1]

Specific to this post (yes, I can google answers, but I hope someone has a response based on personal experience):
How would one contact Steve Bannon, what are his most active organizations, and how would one send money to or volunteer with his most effective organization?

More general question:
What individuals and organizations are the top advocates for limited, constitutional government with the rule of law? This is not RINOs like McConnell who “compromise” to get some of what we want - maybe - if we’re really compliant. This would be those who see the Second Amendment, no Amnesty, protecting our borders, and repealing Obamacare as absolutes.

President Trump and Steve Bannon are obviously on the list, but who else, and where should we send our time and our money? Partly, I suspect the answer will be state-by-state or even more local. If the NRSC would rather see Judge Moore lose than hold a US Senate seat in Alabama, and even if the truth about him was worse than the most offensive story invented, I have zero faith in the establishment.

I guess I should have checked for pings first thing! You beat me again.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I just bookmarked your post 3 about the rigging of the Roy Moore election. With some of the witnesses utterly discredited [and that was strictly from only listening to talk radio, easy to find out].

I was surprised that he ‘lost’.

Rush Limbaugh pointed out that the most liberal vote counters were the last to turn in their ‘counts’. He made it clear that he suspected that they waited to see how many votes need to be counted in a ‘special’ way.
