Erik Prince, Blackwater Founder, Weighs Primary Challenge to Wyoming Republican, Barrasso

WASHINGTON — Erik Prince, the founder of the security contractor Blackwater, is seriously considering a Republican primary challenge for a Senate seat in Wyoming, potentially adding a high-profile contender to a fledgling drive to oust establishment lawmakers with insurgents in the mold of President Trump.

Mr. Prince appears increasingly likely to challenge John Barrasso, a senior member of the Senate Republican leadership, according to people who have spoken to him in recent days. He has been urged to run next year by Stephen K. Bannon, who is leading the effort to shake up the Republican leadership with financial backing from the New York hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah.

Over the weekend, Mr. Prince traveled to Wyoming with his family to explore ways to establish residency there, said one person who had spoken to him.

The above line is for all of the dumbass FReepers who always complain about Senators and Congressmen that they themselves cannot vote for or against.

This means all of you NOT living in Arizona, commenting on McCain, you sound just like BLM, or any other mind deranged idiots.

Prime example - Houston mayoral elections - "some" People show up for primaries, many show up for general election. In a city with a population of 2.5 million about 100,000 show up for runoff - Now Houston has LIBERALS running the City and the local judiciary - How do you spell CONSERVATIVE MORONs - Houston that's how
