Bannon Gathers Donors as He Launches War on GOP Establishment
breitbart.com ^ | 10/18/17 | Sean Moran

Frustrated with Republican incumbents’ inability to pass any significant legislation, the Republican donor class started meeting with Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon over his plan to primary establishment Republicans. Former White House chief strategist and Breitbart News executive chairman Steve Bannon met with notable

Republican donors, many whom remain frustrated by the Republican establishment’s inability to pass significant legislation such as repealing and replacing Obamacare, tax reform, and funding a southern border wall. The Republican donor class will consider backing Bannon’s campaign to challenge Senate Republican incumbents in the war against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Bannon reportedly is lining up a series of primary challengers whom he believes will back President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Andy Surabian, a senior adviser to the Great American Alliance and ex-White House aide, told Breitbart News, “We’re planning on building a broad anti-establishment coalition to replace the Republican Party of old with fresh new blood and fresh new ideas.”

Does anyone else see a resemblance between Bannon and Sam Kinnison?

Don’t get me wrong, I like them both.

Bannon is why Mc Turdle is now saying Senate will work more days per week and may take less vacations.

It remains to be seen if these Democrats acting as though they are Republicans are into doing anything for their paycheck.

Doing nothing is a way of life for these people.

That younger picture of Steve Bannon looks absolutely nothing like he looks now.

I used to look that skinny too! Back when I was in the Marines.

I think the theory that Bannon left Trump’s administration so he could help him even more is certainly proving to be correct.

Good man.

Need new party to replace the GOPe—The Trumpocratic Party. Based on the old Tea Party—Flag: The Rattlesnake Flag of the Revolution. Motto: Don’t Tread on Me! or Come and take it! Symbol-a Lion Roaring! Chant: Death to the RINOs! Goal: Take over and replace the Republican Party—Heroes: Lincoln, Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. Organs: The Real News Network—a cable station HQed at Trump Tower NY. Newspaper: The Trump News: All the news that’s real. That or call it The Torch of Liberty—or Liberty News. Masthead symbol—A hand holding a burning torch of freedom. A national Right wing newspaper of record. Maybe hire Hannity, or BOR, or Levin, or Rush. Magazine The tower of Freedom! Trump Tower! with ways you can help the Trump agenda—Motto: “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country!” JFKs powerful words rejected by the Progressive Democrat/Communists. Maybe I am dreaming but all revolutions start with a dream!

Bet they wish he was still in the white house where they could at least put political pressure on him. But now he is off and running. So happy he is doing this.

Nick Ayers, Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, .... said, “Just imagine the possibilities of what can happen if our entire party unifies behind him [President Trump]? If — and this sounds crass — we can purge the handful of people who continue to work to defeat him.”

Take no prisoners, Mr. Bannon.

It’s about time the Anti-Establishment elite had a leader of sorts.
