Thank you very much and God bless you.

This Rose fella. Never heard of him but my hope is he gets the nomination. Marsha Blackburn has 4 more years left on her senate term an it appears the governorship is hers to lose. I don't like it. We don't need special elections to distract us from our ongoing movement. If the primary voters were strategic thinkers they'd make her lose. It's better than Trump endorsing Rose. Trump has enough republicans who he's turned off already.

Tuberville in Alabama has my blessing, not that it counts for much. The state is redder than Tennessee and he’ll finish out his term-one task at a time.

Beware of "Farmers", with a hankering for politics.

Lumberjacks, Fishermen, Farmers......pure BS that poll tests well. It mostly began with that stupid Lamar Alexander red flannel shirt in the 80's.

Blackburn(and Hagerty) were both a breath of fresh air after Alexander, Corker, and Frist. The only thing I can say in their favor is that Frist beat Sasse, Corker kept the seat and Alexander kept the seat of Fred Thompson. We needed most the R after their names. I don’t care for the unknown should she win.

That would be in November 2028, with the governor appointing a replacement until then. How would that be a "distraction"?

There are bad eggs in every line of work, but yeah I’d much prefer a lawyer or a “community organizer” over a farmer. /s

No thanks. Rose is a phoney liar.

I’m probably voting Fritts who has no chance.

Blackburn will get close to 60%.

If she (will) win in November, I’m not sure if TN laws for replacement of her Senate seat. Probably a pick to hold it until a special election.

“Blackburn(and Hagerty) were both a breath of fresh air”

Especially that day when they both voted to CERTIFY BIDEN’S STOLEN ELECTION. 🙄

I didn’t vote for any of them; they all suck. Will view R in November.
