Can we impeach our worthless RINO Governor?
Nothing is free.
Someone is paying for it.
Yes, but is it education or indoctrination?
How did he get elected in the first place? I really don’t understand how RINOs get elected. For example if Paul Ryan or John McCain were running for office in my state, never ever ever ever in a million years would I ever vote for those two frauds, ever. Even if the worst of the worst was running against them like a Hillary Clinton, I would vote for the independent candidate or not at all. I just could never ever bring myself to vote for a RINO because what you are doing is voting for something worse than a Democrat: You’re voting for a Democrat operative whose sole agenda is to F up the Republican party to help Democrats.
The amount of damage RINOs have done to the Republican party throughout the years is immense whereas today, the party is pretty much gone: it’s basically the Democrat-lite party. Trump is virtually on his own, nobody in the Republican party defends him. Matter of fact Dianne Feinstein of all people defends Trump more than anybody in the Republican party. Look at her yesterday, incredibly asking for an investigation into the Comey/Clinton connection.

Meanwhile we got Republicans like John McCain acting like Nancy Pelosi, saying Obama was a better POTUS than Trump, incredible!!
RINOs get nominated in Tennessee because we have no party registration, so Dems vote in the Republican primary (the Dems are no longer a force statewide as an opposition party in a general election, so they can flood the GOP primaries). We also have no runoff, so left-wingers like Haslam benefit from having the Conservative opposition split. Until we implement a closed primary and runoffs, this will continue to happen.

Thus we get Sundquist, Corker, Alexander, and so on...
Yes, although when Donny Boy ran in 1994 for Governor, he was considered somewhat to the right. Of course, then he became obsessed with the income tax and punishing Conservatives for not implementing it that he lost his mind.
At least for 2018, we know the Conservative standard bearer for Governor is Mae Beavers. Anyone else (especially Randy Boyd, Haslam’s rich leftist clone) must be defeated in the GOP primary.
I see these programs as just a continuation of “free” public education, as well as an acknowledgment that a high school diploma is meaningless in terms of preparing one for the future.
I absolutely agree.
Required course..

Watch how expensive community college gets now that it is free.
Sure is easy for the state of Tennessee to spend other people's money. I wonder if they would offer it if they had to use state's money.
Haslam was elected because he had locked up almost all the traditional GOP money sources — plus he is a multi-multi-millionaire.
And his brother has no clue how to run a football team.
If community college in Tennessee is already "free" for high school graduates, then there's no reason the same policy shouldn't be extended to someone who is 54 years old and has (presumably) paid taxes to support these schools for decades.
can we defund NPR ?
He may have locked up the money and establishment support, but he failed to get beyond a plurality of the vote. Two ostensible Conservatives (albeit one was a flake, that being Wamp) split the vote, adding up to 51% to Haslam’s 47%. Had it gone to a runoff with a closed vote, Wamp would’ve prevailed. My guy was former Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, who came in 3rd. I voted for Conservative Independent Carl “Two Feathers” Whitaker in the 2010 general.
