GOP Insurgency Plans for Civil War in 2018 Midterms

https://politicalwire.com/2017/09/30/gop-insurgency-plans-civil-war-2018-midterms/

"SNIP..........


Washington Post: “That populist rage in the base as Trump struggles to enact his priorities — which lifted former judge Roy Moore to victory on Tuesday against Trump’s ally, Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) — now threatens to upend GOP incumbents in 2018 as the latest incarnation of Republican grievance takes hold.”

“Stoked by former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon and his incendiary media platform, Breitbart News, a new wave of anti-establishment activists and contenders are emerging to plot a political insurrection that is with Trump in spirit but entirely out of his — or anyone’s — control.”

“Central command is the ‘Breitbart Embassy,’ a Capitol Hill townhouse where Bannon has recently huddled with candidates, from House prospects to Senate primary recruits. Hedge fund executive Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah — Bannon’s wealthy allies — have already pledged millions to the cause, said people briefed on their plans.”

The Marxist Clown Car of Bernie affiliated candidates is going to be brutal in 2018 and worse in 2020.

You would think that Bernie would see the futility of running another third party independent but he introduces bills that have no chance of being voted on then brags about it.

The primary has been over for over a year. Get over it.
Our focus should be on the future and the rightwing.
Not on yesterday

who feel that Trump and the GOP leadership are still not racist enough.

GOP doubles down on crazier every two years. At this rate, by 2024 we get Republicans that strongly believe that the Spanish Inquisition failed because it was too soft on heretics.
