WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are facing a problem as they try to defend a slim majority in the Senate and win races elsewhere: They're spending time and money fending off insurgent primary candidates trying to lay claim to President Donald Trump's mantle and knock out the establishment's choices.

This is of their own doing.
Not much in the article.
You can only post so much of an AP story.
Get rid of these RINOS. Sick of the hypocrisy of some of these “Republicans”.
RINOs gotta go
Its absolutely of their own doing. Had they followed through and done what they campaigned on the last 8 years with a united front. Had they crushed the left with the majorities we gave them.....
NONE of this would be happening.
2018 must be the year we start Cantorizing the Amnesty Senators who voted for Rubio’s amnesty bill.
Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018
Graham and Alexander in 2020
Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022
McCain will be dead by 2022.
There’s a big problem with the AP. They disseminate “stories”, rather than factual, relevant news.
The AP is agenda-driven; they are not an honest broker in any way, shape or form.
The TN GOP will do its best to make sure there are enough “good” candidates opposing Corker and Alexander to insure they win the primary. It is what they have done for years now.
The article only mentioned Arizona and Nevada.
In our immediate future is the US Senate Primary in Alabama to replace Jeff Sessions and at the end of the day it looks to me like Mitch McConnell’s boy Luther Strange (the appointed Senator) is a non-starter.
His major opponents, Congressman Mo Brooks of the “Freedom Caucus” and Judge (twice AL Chief Justice) Roy Moore.
The dirty money from Mitch had to be thrown at Moore recently as he went up to second place in the polling at 26 percent with Brooks down at 16 percent.
The “Freedom Caucus” people are IMHO the Glenn Beck-Ted Cruz people who hate President Trump.
Roy Moore is said to be a “religious zealot” but he has a track record of irritating the political insiders of Alabama’s GOPe who removed him from office twice.
I go with Roy Moore in the first round next Tuesday August 15th.
They will do everything they can to convince us to start a new party. The worst thing for them is for us to stay Republican and keep chipping away at it. Trump has already cut off the head
So, the GOP establishment would divert dollars from campaigns to unseat Democrat Senators to protecting the GOP Senators from fellow Republicans seeking the job? Pretty much sums up why we need to defeat those GOP-e bastards in the primaries.
Let us hope they are not stupid and run 3 or 4 or 5 and end up splitting the primary votes. That gives the person, who is usually the incumbent, with name recognition as the voters go to the polls.
Many of us suspect it is the incumbent who is running the challengers to give the impression of opposition, but with the intent of splitting the opposition votes.
If the primary opposition do NOT coalesce around a single challenger, likely, the fix is in.
It rarely happens. Then you have the ringers the Rats toss in.
No more Booshies ..
Help is on the way. We need to support these challengers to these arrogant traitors.
Remember their names, and God speed to them.
For me it’s simple. If they oppose Trump I oppose them.
Rub out rubio.
