News for ya RINO Marxists, this is a war you will not win! It's over, pack your shit now and get out while you can.
Senate GOP prepares for a war with Bannon
Senate Republicans say they will fight back vigorously against former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon's efforts to knock off GOP incumbents in primaries next year.
They hope that President Trump will have their backs, but they're not counting on it.
GOP leaders are urging their colleagues to put laser-like focus on their home states and constituents so even if Trump abandons or criticizes them ahead of the midterm elections, they'll still be in a position to win.
"My experience is you can't depend on anybody else other than yourself as a candidate to work hard and win an election. If somebody else decides to help you, that's gravy, but I wouldn't depend on it," said Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (Texas).
Bannon has threatened to back primary challengers against as many as six Senate Republican incumbents facing voters in 2018.
He was scheduled to travel to Arizona Tuesday to attend the campaign kick-off rally for former state legislator Kelli Ward, who is challenging Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) next year.
Senate Republicans are publicly and privately calling on Bannon to step back.
"I think he's going to back off on that. He certainly should," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), one of the Republicans Bannon hopes to knock off next year.

QuoteFormer 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.
Bannon has gone to New York City to talk with venture capitalist John Childs, who plowed nearly $400,000 into McConnell's 2014 reelection. In Colorado, he huddled with Gore-Tex heiress Susan Gore, a major backer of libertarian causes. And Bannon met with casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, the GOP's most prominent donor, for several hours when he swung through Washington this month.
While in Arizona this week, Bannon met with investor Eric Crown, a longtime backer of Senate GOP causes.
