Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) launched her bid for Sen. Bob Corker’s seat Thursday, with a clear message against Republican leadership on Capitol Hill.
“The United States Senate, it’s totally dysfunctional and enough to drive you nuts,” Blackburn said of the Republican-led upper chamber, in the first lines of a video announcing her candidacy.
Instead, she framed herself as an anti-establishment conservative — a close ally to President Donald Trump, his anti-immigration message, and the right’s stand against “political correctness.”
“I’m politically incorrect and proud of it, so let me just tell you how it is,” Blackburn said. “The fact that our Republican majority in the US Senate can’t overturn Obamacare or will not overturn Obamacare is a disgrace. Too many Senate Republicans act like Democrats or worse, and that’s what we have to change.”

They write the headline as if it’s a bad thing. LOL!
“Too many Senate Republicans act like Democrats or worse, and that’s what we have to change.”
Huah!
Go Tennessee! Show the rest of the country how to take out the trash and replace it with MAGA!
This would be a hell of an upgrade.
Any GOP House member will have to explain as a candidate for Senate why they continued to support Ryan and even Boehner before that as Speaker of the House. Their votes in favor of the enabled the swamp, the corruption to thrive.
Marsha Blackburn is one of the enablers by her previous actions.
Political correctness — morality that comes from man, not God. If it comes from man then it’s from the world. If it’s from the world then it’s from the devil (”the god of this world”, 2 Corinthians 4:4).
Will Blackburn vote for The Turdle for GOP Senate leader?
Did not see her mention Mitch in her statement.
Sounds like the same old Blackburn that never
called out John Bonehead by name?
I want to hear her call out Mitch McConnell by name.
And that she will vote for him for GOP Senate leader.
Is that too much to ask?
She’s solid....has a site up and running. Moving fast to head off RINOs
That she will not vote for the Turdle.
If I lived in Tennessee I would definitely vote for her. Hell I might even pull a Dim tatic and go vote for her anyway. I live in New Mexico.
i’m in love - ha
Yes!
What is her voting record like?
Will she vote for Mitch as Senate GOP leader?
Exactly!
It applies to Congressman Lou Barletta here in PA.
Why did you vote to support the corrupt House leadership all these years?
When he first decided to run for Congress years ago after being a local official who proposed an ordinance to deal with illegal immigrant housing in his town, Barletta was endorsed by the RINO Republican state chairman here in PA.
I’ve always liked her.

Looks good so far.
