Establishment GOP terrified of voters in 2018

Throughout the halls of power in Washington, D.C. the establishment is growing increasingly nervous. Republican senators and congressmen alike are starting to look over their shoulders — and what they’re seeing is making a lot of people anxious.

The 2018 elections are coming… and it has the GOP very, very nervous that conservatives are going to vote them out of office.

Former White House senior advisor Steve Bannon is telling people he’s not coming after mainstream Republicans in the House the way he’s targeting senators with anti-establishment disrupters in primaries.

Many in the House are looking over their shoulders all the same… because they know voters are not happy.

“I can’t read Mr. Bannon’s mind,” said North Carolina Rep. Robert Pittenger, who could well be on the list.

Back atop the right-wing media organization Breitbart News, President Donald Trump’s ousted strategist is openly trying to topple Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and incumbents backing the Kentucky Republican. Bannon and his supporters say McConnell is the embodiment of an insufficiently conservative, unproductive party establishment.

The House is a different story… so far.

Who do these clowns think is going to vote for them, after the multiple betrayals of the past year? They shouldn’t fear what’s ahead - they have consistently asked for it.

making a lot of people anxious . . . it has the GOP very, very nervous

I wish they were terrified - perhaps then they would do their job. For now, all we have is anxious, nervous, or a bit uneasy. I hope they get scared enough to keep their word on repealing Obamacare, scared enough to protect our borders by building a wall and finding deportation of all illegals, and scared enough to restore legal protections for our Second Amendment rights by passing the Hearing Protection Act and concealed carry reciprocity.

Inhofe voted for McConnell as Majority Leader.

He also voted for the Corker Amendment that paved the way for Obama’s nuke deal with Iran.

There are many more.
