Steve Bannon asks Bernie Marcus to fund revolt against Mitch McConnell

[Dulcinea]

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was in Atlanta earlier this month to meet with Republican uber-donor Bernie Marcus — and vent about the lackluster accomplishments of establishment GOPers.

Politico.com reported that Bannon’s sit-down with Marcus was one of a string of meetings the populist has had with wealthy donors he hopes will finance more primary challenges against incumbent allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:

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.

1. Bannon's 15 minutes of fame should be over by now.

3. I think this guy is just getting started

let's hope the "best" is not yet to come.

What he's doing is very dangerous if these mega donors buy into his vision of guaranteeing them a "return" on their "investment" and getting things "done".

5. Bannon needs his 15 minutes of fame...just like Weinstein

Since everyone is "upset" about the behavior of men in power..why don't we revisit the sexual harassment case against Bannon by a coworker @ Biosphere?It was settled..but so were many of Oreillys & Weinstein. Let's give Bannon a chance to go to rehab/a clinic/give a public apology.

2. Lack Of Return On His Investment

Yep...that's the way it's supposed to work all right....

4. Only the ego of the billionaires

Could be angry that Trump did not wave magic pixie dust and give them everything they wanted instantly.

Well, wait, a lot of people got mad Obama did not do that either.
