Bannon will back primary challenges against EVERY Republican running for Senate re-election next year except Cruz - as Trump's former strategist hatches plan to boot McConnell from majority leader job

Ex-White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon is planning a political assault on six Republican Senate incumbents, running for re-election next year

Previously, Bannon had looked to oust Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., Dean Heller, R-Nev., and Roger Wicker, R-Miss

Now he's expanded that list to take on every Republican running in 2018, except Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas

With Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., retiring, Bannon is already looking at Tea Party favorite, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., as a suitable replacement Bannon-backed candidates must promise to vote against Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for majority leader and must support killing the filibuster Trump's former top strategist already won one victory, having successfully backed Roy Moore in Alabama, over the Trump-baked Sen. Luther Strange

So far, I’m with Bannon. They should each publicly explain why they should stay.

As I posted earlier today, it’s a MUCH shorter list if you just list those who should NOT be primaried.

Every Republican Senator running for re-election except for Cruz deserves to be Cantorized.

Keep your powder dry when it comes to Nebraska/Wyoming. Too much risk. There could be a Todd Akin out there-not ready for prime time.

The Democrats are convinced already that their “Beto O’Rourke” will make TCruz a one-term senator. TX is full of liberals trying to organize into a working majority.

"They should each publicly explain why they should stay."

They lie. Their words are meaningless.

Primary them into oblivion. MHO

Cruz may one day be a good Senator if he sticks to it.

He can’t be President.
He is not a natural born citizen of the United States of America.
