Blackburn unveiled her plans in an online video.

She called herself “a hardcore card-carrying Tennessee conservative” and cited the “totally dysfunctional” nature of the Senate as her reason for running. She leveled unsparing criticism at her would-be Senate colleagues for their inability to repeal ObamaCare.

[wardaddy]

I’ll take it gladly, it’s a win.

[pgkdan]

Go girl! Oops...is that sexist? /s

Seriously, I like her a lot.

[beergarden]

Well, I’ve heard this before. They claim to be (insert Tea Party hard core conservative whatever) and they become swamp creatures once they sit in office.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Wardaddy: Aren’t you getting tired of winning?

[Joe Bfstplk]

I don't see much happening until the Turdle is defeated.

[pgkdan]

She’s got a long record in the House. She’s a conservative. If TN elects her and if Virginia elects Corey Stewart that’s a real good start.

[Islander7]

She’s a Mississippi girl. Born and raised in Jones County. You know she’s gonna be a great Senator.

[hoosiermama]

Let's hear it for the girl ....😍

[TexasFreeper2009]

and any democrat who opposes her is obviously a sexist!

lol

[ColdOne]

They do this in other countries too. Something passes that is horrible and for decades it is the fighting call to get repealed, although it never happens.

[NorthMountain]

Tennessee needs to find a good replacement for her in the House.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Good move. The political death of the Republican Establishment, RINOs has begun.

[RedMonqey]

Blackburn represents one of the nation’s most conservative districts(my mine)

Unless she catches the “Potomac Fever” she’ll do fine.

Go Marsha Go!!!

[reasonisfaith]

I’ve always thought she was a good one.

[catnipman]

Wow! It’s hard to do better than Marsha Blackburn! I’ve heard her speak several times and this is one sharp cookie who takes no guff off of anyone and is about as GENUINELY conservative as they come!

[VanDeKoik]

Either switch up, or stop complaining about the RINO.

If she’s the alternative, then that’s what you go with.

[tennmountainman]

I would not go that far.

She never lifted a finger to get rid of Bonehead as speaker.
She never lifted a finger to get rid of Ryan as Speaker.

Let’s see if she comes out and denounces McConnell as
GOP Senate leader, like Roy Moore did in Alabama.

Somehow I doubt it.

[nutmeg]

Great news! Go Marsha!!

[EXCH54FE]

I will vote for her. I just worry about who will take her place in the house.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Very nice upgrade for Tennessee (and the nation).
