 McConnell donors weigh switching to Bannon

The Breitbart chief barnstorms the country in search of cash to fund his project to primary Republican senators.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon flew to Atlanta last week to huddle with Republican megadonor Bernie Marcus — and to hear him vent.

A Home Depot co-founder who's been one of the most prolific givers to Senate Republicans, Marcus fumed to Bannon for hours about the lack of return on his investment. In the past six months alone, Marcus has funneled $2 million to a super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and tens of thousands more to the National Republican Senatorial Committee — only to watch the Senate fail again and again.

Over the past several weeks, Bannon has crisscrossed the country meeting with dozens of the party’s biggest contributors — all in the hopes of capitalizing on their anger at McConnell. The populist bomb-thrower wants donors to bankroll primary challenges against Republican incumbents, or, short of that, to close their wallets to McConnell-aligned causes.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

"There is also concern in the donor world that having Bannon-aligned outsiders in the Senate Republican Conference would make it harder, not easier, to reach consensus on legislation."

Consensus?

Like the consensus they've given us on Repealing the ACA? And more?

Consensus to continue sitting on their own thumbs?

"Others have reacted coolly to the idea, reluctant to go after lawmakers just as the tax reform fight is about to begin. "

So they can sidestep the tax reform issue just like they've ignored the ACA.


I've had a bellyful of their sell out consensus.

Most of them need to be taken out in a primary yesterday.

I'd love to see a Coup de GOP.

To begin with there is  not a drop of actual "reform" in the current proposal.  There is only yet more tinkering aroud the edges of the Marxist income tax. 

And I seriously doubt that  even that will make it to the president's desk.

Enough is enough. I won't vote for or send campaign contributions to any Pub that can't be relied on. It's time to make them pay a price for lying and cheating.

I came to that conclusion a long time ago, nor will I contribute to the NRSC or the RNC.
