Bannon has declared Mitch McConnell the enemy-- and there are plenty of Republican voters who agree. Did you see that stunning new poll from Harvard and Harris this week? When asked if they approve or disapprove of the way the Republican Party is handling its job, only 29% of respondents said approve. 71% said disapprove. And among Republican voters there were still 47% who disapproved and, disastrous for the GOP, 77% among independent voters.The poll also asked respondents if they approved or disapproved of around a dozen political figures. The unfavorables are first and the second number is the favorables... among Republican voters:
Trump- 19%/78%McConnell- 43%/24%Ryan- 28%/52%
Note how much trouble McConnell is in among Republicans. Now among independent voters-- again, first number is unfavorable and second is favorable:
Trump- 59%/38%McConnell- 59%/13%Ryan- 54%/27%
Again... no love for the Turtle. He's lucky he's not up for reelection until 2020. Can you imagine Bannon recruiting some fascist to run against him in 2018. It'll be hilarious watching McConnell and Trump both campaigning for Republican votes in 2020-- if either or both of them are even running in 2020!That same HarvardHarris survey indicates that 56% of Republican voters want McConnell to resign as Senate majority leader. To win Bannon's endorsement-- and the Mercers' money-- candidates have to pledge to vote against McConnell as GOP leader. And in the survey 61% of Republican voters say they support Bannon’s "movement to oust Republicans who fail to support tax cuts, tough immigration policies, and the repeal of Obamacare."Yesterday, after Flake's brutal analysis of the insanity of the Trump Regime, McConnell took the floor of the Senate to praise him, something that will surely drive Trump and Bannon and the ascendant fascist part of the GOP base, insane(r). "On behalf of myself and I think many of my colleagues, we've just witnessed a speech from a very fine man, a man who clearly brings high principles to the office every day and does what he believes is in the interest of Arizona and the country," said McConnell.This looks unfriendly
