I have come to believe, she is the designated conservative and no other conservatives will be allowed by the Republican Ruling Class.

History says Tennessee is a Republican state but is not a conservative state. Conservative Tennesseans repeatedly fail to elect candidates with solid conservative credentials. The voters accept the moderate GOPe types instead.

Even in my very conservative district, true conservatives are rejected for a moderate Republican. When a true conservative was elected, he was rejected for the more moderate Republican Dr Phil Roe

"I have come to believe, she is the designated conservative and no other conservatives will be allowed by the Republican Ruling Class."

True that.

Time after time, Tennessee will have two very good conservatives split the conservative vote while the 'moderate' will walk away with the primary so Tennessee voters select the 'lesser of two evils in the general.

It happens so much it cannot be coincidence. That's how we got Corker, being the most recent example. Somehow GOP-E slipped up and allowed Marsha to get through.

Or did they? Time will tell.
