Republicans nationwide begin to chase Steve Bannon’s endorsement

FAIRHOPE, Ala. — The Steve Bannon primary is on—and it’s playing out at every level of government.

Top Senate recruits are wooing him by phone, and candidates for state legislature are cornering him at political rallies. Primary rivals are openly jockeying for the support of his network, and insurgent Republican hopefuls text him, dine with him and traipse to his Washington townhouse in the hopes of securing his blessing.

“Steve is one of Washington’s Pied Pipers of the conservative movement,” said Brett Doster, media consultant for Roy Moore, the GOP candidate who won a hotly contested Alabama Senate primary runoff, aided in part by Bannon.

With Moore’s victory late last month, Bannon, the ex-White House chief strategist and current leader of the hard-right outlet Breitbart, is suddenly at the center of GOP races across the board, heavily involved in boosting a slate of Senate challengers as candidates up and down the ballot try to land his support.....

Good, exactly what we need.
New Republicans committed to America and American citizens.

The current crop of officeholders are more concerned about fraudulently documented foreigners than they are about the citizens.

“Steve is one of Washington’s Pied Pipers of the conservative movement,”

Sounds good to me.

Remember when our Pearl Clutchers were trying to tell us that the Trump administration would decline and die because Bannon left.

The only people in peril are the undocumented Democrats in Congress. Bannon is operating with a free fire zone.

Bannon can do far more damage to the Democrats/Rinos/Never Trumpsters from outside the WH...

The mediots, rioting liberals and liberal mayors, who allowed the rioting are in for some fun times from Bannon.

There will be zero mercy on the Rinos, mediots and Never Trumpsters in Congress and Rino's like this B$tch Mitch in Bannon’s new op center.

Bannon has now entered a Free Fire Zone and will take Zero Prisoners!

We need more specifics. Whom and the reaction of the incumbents.

I hope his new role as kingmaker does not spoil the man. The District of Corruption has a long sorry history of doing that.

Bannon said he would be in the White House for one year.

He probably got a belly full of the GOPe goofing with the demoncraps and decided to act.

Bannon should put up a website where everyone would have a chance to rate them. Better yet, throw tomatoes at their images! People from inside the state they represent should get maybe 5X weighting, but everyone gets to play.

Now Bannon just needs to do a top to bottom redesign of Breitbart's horrible, cluttered, laggy webpage to make it readable.

Just spitballing here - maybe that was the plan, and he needed the year on the inside to make sure which GOPe players needed to be taken out? Most any FReeper could have given him a real good list to start with.

Where are Newt Gingrich’s endorsements and talking points going with respect to Steve Bannon?

He was fiercely opposed by the 1990’s GROPe-RINO’s as Trump is now. But has he been sand-papered into public submission by the 20 years of Washington in between?

Trump was warned before he got inaugurated that McConnell would be his biggest problem. I am glad Steve is gonna give the turtle a run for his money.

Even the House is complaining that they have 200 bills they have sent over to the Senate that are not being acted on. Only one person is stopping it all.

If they had listened to us to begin with they wouldn’t need a Pied Piper.
So they’re saying they’ll follow him to get elected again. Then what? Same old same old?
I won’t be fooled again.
