Bannon has already started. The news that Bannon has been caught scheming with Freedom Caucus leader Mark Meadows to plot an overthrow of Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House is not a surprise. Bannon has had it in for Ryan for years. Politically, repacing Ryan may not be the brightest move, since Ryan had to be shotgun-wedding manipulated into taking the job in the first pace, and would quite possibly happily surrender it so that he didn’t have to deal with assholes like Meadows anymore, and who with any political management skills are they going to find to replace him? But Bannon would feel better with a Speaker who goose stepped his way to the podium, so the game is afoot.
But this is the least of the problems for the House GOP caucus. They pandered to Trump for 8 months, without actually producing anything, in the fervent hopes of maintaining the votes his base represented in their column. Up until now, their biggest fear was that a depressed Trump base would sit out 2018, leaving them high and dry. But now, they have an even more pressing dilemma on their hands.
Bannon has no intention of waiting for November of 2018 to exact his revenge. He wants the usurpers to suffer, and he wants them to know that there suffering came directly from him. Bannon is going to be on the lookout for every white, blonde haired, blue eyed, racial sadist he can find to oppose these cause traitors in the primaries. And he’ll find them. And when he does, he’ll bestow the Good Nazikeeping Seal of Approval on them. The incumbents may survive the challenge, but the challenging members of the Twitler Youth will get enough donations to make it a grueling primary, and many of the survivors may be exhausted by the time they reach the general election, and the primary fight may have provided their Democratic challengers with the ammo they need to finish them off.
And it’s not like Trump is going to come to their defense. He has already shown his lack of loyalty to the party by running attack ads against Dean Heller in Nevada, and entertaining playing kingmaker in publicly deciding which challenger he will annoint to run against Jeff Flake in Arizona. It has already been reported that His Lowness is sneaking calls on his personal cell phone to Bannon when Mommy Kelly is out of earshot, so Bannon will have all of the chances he needs to poison Trump’s minds against any percieved unbelievers. And we know that The Orange Julius is susceptible to this, since John Kelly is already trying to oust the useless crony Omarosa rom the West Wing for the crime of spooling up Da Boss with all kinds of salacious gossip that Kelly feels he doesn’t need to be activated over.
