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

Does he have a PAC we can contribute to?
The other three candidates would be Fischer, Barrasso and Hatch. If Hatch runs, he’s untouchable, but it is good to get someone ready to keep Romney out. Likewise, I suspect Barrasso is untouchable, but always good to keep the heat on. It makes mediocre senators good, and good senators better.
You’re right on that!
I’ll hold back on an opinion till I see where Reno comes in on this news!......LOL!!
This and the big money men telling the Senate leadership to s*it or get off the pot probably has several incumbents shaking in their boots.
Maybe a few more will decide to do a ‘Corker’ and retire soon.
Bannon should be in New Jersey...look for someone against Bob Menendez in 2018.
Sounds like a plan!
I was thinking the same thing.
I’ll join / contribute.
Excellent.
Yes, full speed ahead on the RINO hunt. But we also need to insure we get good, non-RINO, conservative, American Patriot, non-globalists nominated as the Republican challengers to the ‘RAT incumbents running for re-election in Red States in 2018. That will be fertile ground for harvesting a massive 2018 non-establishment Senator harvest.
Hope he isn’t spreading himself too thin; he’s got a boatload of capital to use, just want him to spend it wisely.
And to think there was an endless stream of hand wringing when Bannon left the White House.
I don’t know if I agree with that strategy. I also don’t know if it is true.
I bet Bannon focuses on Trump state Democrats too.
And all Freepers should do the same.
One must run at liberals head on. People like you turn tail and run.
How is it that you actually support Donald Trump, again?
If those guys want to stay, let them begin acting like it - NOW!
New description of action - “Bannonized!”
Bannon helping Trump better in the outside than he could sitting in the White House, just like he said. He knew the swamp would not help Trump.
Outstanding!!!!
