Republicans on Capitol Hill fear that Stephen Bannons plan to wage primary challenges against incumbent senators will put their majority at risk in 2018.
Senate GOP aides warn that Bannon, Trumps former chief strategist, is not motivated by a desire to advance President Trumps agenda, but instead by a quest to remake the GOP in his own, nationalist image.
If anyone misunderstands what Steve Bannons goal is, they have to open their eyes. He doesnt care if we win or lose the Senate. He doesnt care about the consequences for the president, said one Senate Republican aide.
Mr. Bannon, it seems clear, does not care about Republicans maintaining their majority in either chamber. Hes putting his former bosss agenda on the line in his quest of take over and destroy the Republican Party, the source added.
Bannon did not respond to an email summarizing the criticism of Senate GOP aides.
The former White House adviser this week said he is working to field primary challengers against incumbents such as Sens. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Deb Fischer DEBRA (DEB) STROBEL FISCHER (R-Neb.), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and John Barrasso (R-Wyo.). None are considered at risk of losing their reelection races.

Full of whores drunk on the blood and sweat of middle Americans.
What Bannon portends is meek and mild compared to what I would like to see come of their fate.
And they are ALL committed never-Trumpers, unwavering in their hatred of this President and his voters.
The GOPs displeasure means quite obviously that Bannon is doing exactly the thing that will benefit the people.
If there is no Obamacare repeal by november of 2018, I’m voting straight democrat. I’ve not voted D since 1972, and then I was just out of high school and voted for Dixie Lee Ray because she was on the same page as me on nuclear energy.
If we’re gonna go down, we need to get it over with...
What exactly has the Republican Senate Majority accomplished, or been good for to date?
Start with MCCain. Why do Republicans in AZ keep voting for this POS? Is it the heat in AZ?
What good is it for us voters to hold the majority in the senate when they won’t enact the legislative changes we voted for? Better to have a senate that does nothing than one that does what we don’t want.
FU GOP
Which means we might get some of Trump’s agenda passed after all!
It sounds like they’re unintentionally admitting that they are vulnerable in the primaries.
As Steve likes to say you know your over the target when you start taking flak.
Purge the RINOs 2018!!!
Foolish woman.
Oh, wait - Schumer is in charge (might as well be).
where’s the photo of the crying woman?
drivel
Sen. Corker already let this out of the bag.
Bye Bye.
I say risk it.
More empty scare tactics and propaganda from the GOP. F them
I’m thinking the same thing. They are really going to insult us and use the “majority” thing when they have the “majority” thing and they do nothing?
