Bannon's move to purge GOP may backfire
The Hill ^ | October 17th, 2017 | BY BRENT BUDOWSKY

Posted on 10/17/2017 7:37:27 AM PDT by Mariner

While President Trump claims that his relations with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have never been better and while Stephen K. Bannon continues his war against McConnell and a long list of Republican Senators, we will learn whether Bannon is fronting for Trump or acting against him.

If Bannon does not end his attacks against incumbent GOP senators, we will know that he is colluding with the president, who is dividing Republicans — and all Americans — against each other and endangering GOP control of the Senate.

In the 10th month of the Trump presidency, the Republican Congress still has not passed one major piece of legislation proposed by the Republican president, public disapproval of Congress stands at levels that should be alarming to all incumbent Republican senators, and the president and GOP leaders in the House and Senate all suffer from abnormally high levels of disapproval.

Bannon is bidding to become the most powerful Republican in America by seeking to promote primary challenges against key Republicans in Congress, including possible primary challenges against every incumbent Republican senator running for reelection in 2018 except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

“I’d say the odds are much greater than 50% that he’d sign it”

I would put those odds at greater than 90%.

Hell, he’d claim that bill as his own.

“He outperformed Trump among suburban Republicans”

That tells us more about the suburban Republicans in PA than it does anything else.

My money goes to taking the risk.

What ABOUT YOURS?

Your childish rants have already cost this website a lot of money from my own pocket. I can’t believe they even tolerate you here.

Donald Trump was the first political candidate who ever received financial support from me. What does that tell you?

Huh?

Shouldn’t you substantiate that?

And yet I have this jerk Central_VA getting on here telling me that I’m an “establishment squish.”

You don’t like any exposing your squishyness. Stuff it.

Sure.

I used to be a regular contributor here on Free Republic. But I have refused to contribute anything to these FR quarterly fundraisers as long as that jerk insists on insulting me on this website.

This is now the fourth consecutive quarter where my contribution is $0. It will remain that way until he's no longer here.

Isn’t that a bit like Corker refusing to vote for a tax package because Trump called him liddle?

Typical Establishment scare tactic. Wave around your check book like some kind of hero. FUAC. I’ll bet you are broke.

“You wish pajama boy”

Was that directed at me?

If so, why? Context helps.

No. It would be more like Corker refusing to donate money to a PAC for a political candidate who called him an @sshole.
