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.

Primary every single one of these GOP NeverTrumpers / Rinos. It is either that or launch the new party immediately.

Such a “denunciation) would do no good but harm her ability to work with the Senate. I am not interested in pointless gestures.

Something about evil and good Men saying nothing....
Now, why would ANYONE want to ‘work’ with the Senate. Does one negotiation w/ those wanting to enslave others...or battle them for every inch & call out their B.S.?
As ten had stated, not a peep, but actions speak louder than words (and silence is consent in my book).
Mea culpa!
GREAT issues for primary folks to run on this time around!!
NO excuse the the pres is a dem.
hOLD THOSE ####s feet to the fire!!!!
And please dont let 5 conservatives run in a single primary
Tennessee is a Republican state and prefers Republicans over conservatives.
Maybe, just maybe Marsha can prevail.... but, there is likely a bill frist out there
Bill Frist?
I wonder how many CONSERVATIVE states there are in the US.
Not republican but conservative.
I’m from NYC so i can’t talk. Been a while since D’amato.
But my rep is a republican, but not NEARLY conservative as the usual ones we pick from staten island. I dont like it
I’m also trying to figure out what demographic changed on staten island that Trump only got 57 percent?!?!
Should have been an easy 65.
Lots of obama’s folks on one side of the island but they’ve been there for a while.
We here in TN will be happy to have her, especially after Corker.
We had a quality plan pre-ACA $1,100/month. The plan renewed in April. The Democrat Thug Party terminated my contract on Jan 1, the year the ACA took effect. We were forced onto the ACA with an initial rate increase of 30%, deductible increase ~500%, and major loss of docs and resources. Like you, I’m self-employed.
Noticed your health issues. Prayers you’ll manage/overcome.
Exaggeration is rarely convincing nor is rhetoric. If no one gets anything done other than make dumbass statements why would you elect them? Some people care only for rhetoric and not for results.
I’m sorry I fear it’ll never go back down all he way
Hospital costs are like college
No true pressure
If they repeal, what will they run on in the future?
It stretches just west of Nashville, north to the Tennessee_Kentucky border and west to the suburbs of Memphis.
It includes Montgomery County, Chester, Stewart, Williamson, Perry, Wayne, Lewis, Benton, Humphreys, Hardin, Lawrence, McNairy and a few more I can’t remember. But this should give you a good idea of it’s area.
For a complete map of the Seventh, just look up Tennessee Seventh Congressional District.
Hope this helps.
It is simply false that voting Republican has done no good. We have a Supreme Court with a Conservative majority. This is the most important part of the government because it is the longest lasting. Justices serve longer than Representative, Senators and Presidents and can have more influence that any of them.
Trump has gotten start on dismantling the bureaucracy you complain and it is not going to be easy of quick.

Oh, you mean like the side-of-the-bed-I-rise Kennedy and a-tax-is-really-a-fine-so-I’ll-rewrite-it-from-the-bench Roberts?? I wouldn’t trust ‘em, and neither should anyone else, farther than I could throw C. Christie.

And, in that one sentence, you’ve explained why they are the most corrupt and dangerous. Course, Congress did nothing when the Courts declared themselves the ‘final arbiters’...co-equal branches and all.
Govt gotta corruptly govern.

Started? Removing a chapter from one of the tomes in the Library of Congress isn’t what I’d consider ‘progress’. 2nd, his edicts would be just as illegal/unconstitutional as the rest...but, it seems, as long it’s an (R) Fascist, it’s hunky-dory around here for some.
First up was incumbent Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), who made a surprise announcement on September 26 he would not run for re-election, one day after a Breitbart News report about his sweetheart deal in an Alabama retail center development in which Alabama taxpayers are set to pay him more than $3 million over 20 years in sales tax incentive rebates. Though his announcement that he would not seek re-election was couched in terms that claimed it had been made “[a]fter much thought, consideration and family discussion over the past year,” its suddenness–and the fact that Corker felt compelled to offer a lame and incomplete explanation for his investment in a deal that epitomizes the swamp in which the political elite thrive–underscores the potency of the Breitbart News report.Thanks PJ-Comix for Breitbart Goes 'Old Hickory' in Tennessee, Gets 2 Establishment Scalps
She’s got my support.
Now...will Manning show up as the turd in the primary?
