Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell responded to Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon’s decision to go to war against the Republican establishment in the upcoming Senate Republican primaries on Monday.

Yeah, like Rick Berg in ND, Denny Rehberg in MT, George Allen in VA, Pete Hoekstra in MI, Connie Mack in FL, Linda McMahon in CT, Carly Fiorina in CA, Heather Wilson in NM, Tommy Thompson in WI.

Mitch has a selective memory, but WE remember his slew of losers!

Trump makes policy.

McConnell blocks it.

Bannon got tired of it, and went somewhere he could openly trash McConnell’s role in it.

There Mitch. Hope that helps.

I’m waiting for Bannon’s PAC to be announced. Then I’m in.

As a side question to this thread, anybody know if Sen. McConnell has gotten Pres. Trump up to speed on Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers yet? (sarc)

Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting, state sovereignty-respecting patriot candidates on the primary ballots and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day 2018.

Mitch might be outside his lane questioning Bannon. Mitch knows the swamp, Bannon knows We The People.

How about if we nominate & elect some people who don’t need Alzheimer’s meds from the “quaint” little pharmacy.

McConnell is right on this one. Touche. Bannon lost and went home. So have a bunch of RINOs. But far more RINOs keep winning year after year. Winning or losing is not confined to any particular idealogy.

Actually that is one of the few points McConnell has made that I agree with. It takes more than idealogy to affect policy. One has to persuade people to vote for you.

Bannon isn't looking to make policy.

Just like a leftist, "here play the rigged game by my rigged rules"
