Stephen Bannon is looking to challenge every sitting GOP lawmaker except Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), saying “no one is safe” as he looks to challenge the Republican establishment in the 2018 midterms and beyond.
“There’s a coalition coming together that is going to challenge every Republican incumbent except for Ted Cruz,” Bannon told host Sean Hannity on Fox News’ “Hannity” on Monday night.
The former White House chief strategist said he plans recruit candidates who can run against the lawmakers who have not faithfully fought to enact Trump’s agenda.
“There’s a basic agenda that Trump ran on and won. He carried states Republicans haven’t carried in living memory — Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. This agenda works. The American people voted for it,” he said in part.
“By the way, [Mitch] McConnell would not be majority leader unless Trump — in North Carolina and Missouri and Wisconsin — was able to carry those senators across the finish line. It’s incumbent upon them to back President Trump’s plan, but you don’t see it,” Bannon continued.

Coalition with whom? The Democrats?
I would be pleased if we could be rid of McConnell and his buds. But who will be their replacements? Does anyone think Trump cares if the replacements are conservatives?
