Steve Bannon has a stark message to Republican incumbents he considers part of the establishment: “Nobody can run and hide.”
President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist is promoting a field of potential primary challengers to take on disfavored Republicans in Congress and step up for open seats. […]
It’s an insurgency that could imperil Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Bannon called it a “populist nationalist conservative revolt” in a speech to religious conservatives in Washington on Saturday.
The emerging Bannon class of rabble-rousers shares limited ideological ties but a common intent to upend Washington and knock out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., standard-bearer of the establishment. So intent is Bannon on bringing down McConnell that he laid down this marker Saturday to some of the incumbents at risk of a challenge from his flank of the party: disavow McConnell, satisfy other conditions and possibly escape the wrath. […]
Bannon told the religious conservatives that economic nationalism and anti-globalism, the same forces he said elected Trump, can overpower Republican elites. “This is our war,” he said. “The establishment started it. … You all are gonna finish it.” …

Notice the one senator he exempts from attacks.
Three cheers!
Bannon coming up on the flank while Trump holds the front.
Where do I send money?
Bannon has no federal funding.
I would send it to Breitbart.
I’m thinking of sending money here....https://magacoalition.com/

Ted is really the only one that really stood up to the GOP establishment when it mattered with support from Mike Lee.
Mike Lee is a puzzle. He’s not predictable.
He has one foot in conservatism and one foot in Romneyville.
Trump voters are our only hope. Dealing with RINO Republicans is not even one half of the Deep State problem but it is a good, manageable endeavor for the moment. If we can keep a patriotic and responsible majority in in Congress, we may have some support for President Trump to take on the EPA, FBI, and other agencies full of entrenched “enemies of the state”.
What good are Republican majorities in the House and the Senate if they don’t do anything?
They keep the democrats from being able to do things. But I get your point and surely others do too.
Once Bannon ID’s the challengers Trump needs to come to these districts to campaign. Trump on the stump praising the challenger’s support of his border wall, tax plan, health care initiative, etc. will definitely cause the incumbent to think twice about breaking from the president. You think there is a plan at foot here?
I hope so.
