I am so desperate I could easily vote for a bad primary challenger to dispatch these entrenched traitors. One could hope that even the “bad challenger” would read the tea leaves— understanding that he also, either performs for those who elected him or he an be exchanged for another challenger, in like fashion.
One of the biggest problems we have is TOO MANY candidates during the primaries splitting the vote. If there hadn’t been so many when Joe Carr ran against Lamar!, we’d be minus Lamar! now. Carr was only a couple of points short of winning the primary that year.
Open primaries don’t help since dems vote for the most liberal candidate in the Pubbie field.
The RINOs got the nomination because 2 or more conservatives split the conservative vote in the primary. IIRC, neither one got more than 35-40% of the vote.
The conservatives are slowly taking over the Republican party here in TN.
Primary out EVERY GOP Representative that has been a part of the DC swamp for too long.
I think I would vote for any challenger over a Heller or McCain. But it would be best for us to find the best candidate and set up PACs to support them. Losing the Congress presents other problems, even if it would teach the RINOs a lesson, which I’m not sure it would. Most likely, they would blame Trump, and the media would support that notion nonstop.
Judging by the number of people who rail on about liberalism, but who don't
I'd say we have a great set of data to show why we lose so much - lots of all mouth and no substance opinionators and small percentage of actual folks who invest of themselves in what they believe in.
Since he is my 2nd RINO US senator, lamar being the other, he is all over the board vote wise, he is NOT on the list for those who voted not to repeal 0’care. lamar was, but this is corker’s election year, he is a RINO out of touch with country and TN.
But we know squat about this Lee Beaman. While he’s been on numerous charity boards, he has zip in experience. Still early lets see if some one we have a voting record on steps up. Corker has tons of scandals, just google them.
While we can tell you Sen. Mae Beavers is the CONSERVATIVE, repeal the progressive gas tax halsam, beth harwell, susan lynn and many other GOP saddled us with. Boyd is a La Raza Man. Bill Lee is a business man, who can’t get a donation. Knows squat about issues. harwell has thrown her hat into the governors ring. AVOID all but Beavers.
Blame lies on open primaries where dems can cross the line and vote in GOP primary. When 2 conservatives run against a RINO, and the losing in the polls by single digits that conservative won’t back down and let the stronger 1 win, we get the RINO ever time.
33 senate seats are up, more dems we can flip than GOP http://www.worldpress.org/article.cfm/senate-seats-up-for-reelection-in-2018
Kid Rock is running on the GOP ticket, against stab-you. And ahead in the polling.
Thanks for the link to that article, Gail.
Good to remember that there are also vulnerable Dimms up in 2018.
I hope Kid Rock runs that witch StabbinOuw out of the Senate.
I find it hilarious that they’ve mocked him for no experience/his background, when they have Al Mr Diaper Franken.
They want to back a winner they can control.
Tennessee is not conservative. Tennessee is Republican
There are lots of conservative campaign graves.
More dems than GOP. Flip just 4-5 of them with the right conservative and we might have enough votes to out vote the RINOS and dems.
Kid Rock is rough around the edges, not a perfect conservative, but is a supporter of President Trump and a financial conservative at least. Social wise not so conservative. But sure better that StabUNOW.
