The target list includes Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, Alabama Sen. Luther Strange, Nevada Sen. Dean Heller and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, the source said.

I’ll take a grizzled farmer who has lived life good and bad and knows how things work over any of those ridiculous “News At 10” mannequins any day. And so should you.

“source” ...
well, we’ll know soon enough if this is true ... if so, I’ll be contributing even more money to these campaigns than i already have.
Do you consider it to be logical?
Excellent strategy. Successfully primary a bunch of them and the other fools will start covering their butts.
Strange is already in a primary.
But I bet he’s picked the talent.
Correct.
Could you explain that comment?
Bannon - Gorka
We in Alabama will take care of the strange one!
This month.
I pity those Bannon works against.
As I recall nobody wanted to be speaker. Which in of itself is telling.
