Attack Dog Bannon becomes threat for Senate GOP on taxes
2017-10-18
[The Hill] Steve Bannon is becoming a problem for Republicans on tax reform.

President Trump’s former chief strategist is threatening to support right-wing opponents to every GOP senator up for reelection, aside from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

He argues that GOP senators are falling short in enacting the Trump agenda, blasting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his conference over the failure to repeal ObamaCare.

If the GOP follows up with another loss on tax reform, Republican senators know it will just give Bannon more ammunition to use against them.

"There’s one antidote to Steve Bannon: success," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters on Tuesday.

A win on tax reform could quiet Bannon, Graham suggested.

#4  Different Republicans. The current lot are the "tame" sort. Not worth a bucket of warm spit.

#2  The American People elected Donald Trump for a reason.. We want what the Senators won't perform... refuse to perform. Just how do you think that is going to play out at Election Time.?

The American People can kick your chair over and step in your face. You don't give us what we voted for and see what happens. You think our electing Donald was some sort of Fluke? You were surprised by that?

You refuse to give us what we want? Mouth in a suit...you are in for another surprise in 2018. You can go back to looking for a job, yourself. The world is full of surprises for people who don't listen.

#1  The problem Lindsey-poo is that your definition of success doesn't map to the voters definition.
