FAIRHOPE, Ala. — The Steve Bannon primary is on—and it’s playing out at every level of government.

Top Senate recruits are wooing him by phone, and candidates for state legislature are cornering him at political rallies. Primary rivals are openly jockeying for the support of his network, and insurgent Republican hopefuls text him, dine with him and traipse to his Washington townhouse in the hopes of securing his blessing.

“Steve is one of Washington’s Pied Pipers of the conservative movement,” said Brett Doster, media consultant for Roy Moore, the GOP candidate who won a hotly contested Alabama Senate primary runoff, aided in part by Bannon.

I think he’s setting himself up for 2024. He’s been methodically planning whatever he’s up to for years. He learned well from his late mentor. At a minimum, he’s out to drain the swamp, wring the corruption out of the GOP, and be the person whose ring must be kissed.

God Bless You, Steve Bannon

Ditto on your #10. My Adblock Plus shows 32 ads on Breitbart. Enough already.

Great, maybe we’ll get a majority in Congress to put some of Trump’s initiatives thru.

I'm not sure why.
The endorsement they need is Trump's.
The people like Trump.
Steve doesn't like Trump.
The people don't like Steve.
