ormer Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., is considering running for the recently vacated U.S. Senate seat held by Al Franken.

“I’ve had people contact me and urge me to run for that Senate seat,” Bachmann said recently on televangelist Jim Bakker's television show. “And the only reason I would run is for the ability to take these principles into the United States Senate and to be able to advocate for these principles.”

She won by a tiny, narrow margin in her last Congressional race.

I don’t think she’ll win statewide in a blue state.

Best choice for Senator I’ve heard of in a long time.

A good, smart, strategic campaign plan and she could win this. Focus on Al’s and the opponent’s weaknesses.

MB should run that pic of Al Franken groping that sleeping woman on her campaign ads. Every single time. Saying here's the last Democrat to hold the Senate seat.

I’d love to see her in that seat. Better than Pawlenty. Who was it Franken cheated with the never-ending count.

Great, she’s got two years to become an abortion advocate so she can win.

Trump lost there by only 1.5 pt. Great big reception for Trump rally at Minneapolis airport. Minneapolis, Duluth and old Lutherans tip the scale, but by a lot less nowadays.

Minnesotans across the state are largely tired of the bad effects of illegals and refugees. They’re liking Trump’s actions and want jobs growth for THEIR kids.

The people of Minnesota may be ready to turn 180 degrees after losing their minds and electing Stuart-Al Smalley-Franken. Of course the ballot stuffing was no small factor. Michele Bachmann would be a great senator.
