While President Trump claims that his relations with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have never been better and while Stephen K. Bannon continues his war against McConnell and a long list of Republican Senators, we will learn whether Bannon is fronting for Trump or acting against him.
If Bannon does not end his attacks against incumbent GOP senators, we will know that he is colluding with the president, who is dividing Republicans — and all Americans — against each other and endangering GOP control of the Senate.
In the 10th month of the Trump presidency, the Republican Congress still has not passed one major piece of legislation proposed by the Republican president, public disapproval of Congress stands at levels that should be alarming to all incumbent Republican senators, and the president and GOP leaders in the House and Senate all suffer from abnormally high levels of disapproval.
Bannon is bidding to become the most powerful Republican in America by seeking to promote primary challenges against key Republicans in Congress, including possible primary challenges against every incumbent Republican senator running for reelection in 2018 except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

How low are they?
They have solicited and received the support of Institutional Democrats to retain power, as evidenced by this fear-mongering article.
If Bannon were truly harming the GOP, they would be silent.
I’ve noticed today, the Deep State writers, on the Pubbie side, have been blasting Bannon! He must be doing something right! Keep up the good work, Mr. Bannon!
They guy who picked corruptocrat Luther strange? Seriously?
Losing congress! That’s all we hear from these people. What difference does it make? We won congress and very little of Trump’s big agenda is getting implemented by congress. It’s only the Executive Orders that are helping.
NOT endangering control of the Senate.
Because nobody in his or her right mind is going to vote Democrat in the current environment.
Bannon is going to be backing very popular candidates running on a nationalist economic agenda. You know, the same agenda that Trump ran on to victory. They will beat both the incumbent POS GOPer and any Democrap they is run against them. win-win-win.
Go Bannon, Go!
Backdraft more like it. :)
The amnesty weasels must go!
Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018
Graham and Alexander in 2020
Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022
Well, there ya have it! Bannon is doing the right thing!
A new group of highly qualified Republicans beating the old Establishment do nothing Republicans in primaries may keep the GOP from losing those GOP seats to posed of voters.
The amnesty weasels must go!

Hey, Brent Budowsky. . .BUTTOUTSKY!
“What difference does it make? “
That’s been my point for over a decade.
We have soooo little to lose by taking a different approach.
And so much to gain.
The risk is most certainly worth it.
Now, we have to avoid running idiots. We have to support SMART, polished and honest conservatives.
Bannon is supporting his president, unlike most of the GOP elite aristocrat fat-cats!
Not a RINO attack though:”Brent Budowsky was an aide to former Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D-Texas) and former Rep. Bill Alexander (D-Ark.), then-chief deputy majority whip of the House.”
Wow, even China is openly attacking Bannon:

Must be over the target!
;)

McConnell: I see you, and raise $8 million.
Bannon: Call.
We have to purge the McCain types and scare the squishes in line.
The one big risk here is that Bannon successfully topples incumbent Republican senators in primaries, only to have his nationalist candidates lose in the general election.
Hmmm... "Colluding" - check! Blame Trump - check! No blame to the GOPe due to their obstructionism - check!
This is just the latest attempt to cow the conservative base away from challenging the squishy GOPe. Budowsky says what he wants (Bannon to lay off GOPe senators) and then tries to make it President Trump's problem through the specious charge of "collusion". It's almost like Bannon was a Russian surname!
