it is also hilarious that the obvious is not mentioned in the article - nobody in Tennessee likes communists.
All of the southern states except the Clintons’ AR have Republican legislative majorities, but at least a third of the members are RINOs.
They seem to adore Cooper. I saw him last week on TV...... flull fledged marxist....... enemy of the state
There are some communists in TN: they had some kind of training school at a place called War Eagle in the 1950s.
Jimmy Nafhi isn’t running again. Tipton county is pretty much GOP.
Jimmy Naifeh died, finally

Thank you for my first big smile of the day!
What the rats need to do is move even further to the left.
Certainly, they need to continue to promote flat-out, full speed ahead “take and spend” communism, but if they can just unabashedly add a little government-mandated taxpayer funding for partial-birth abortions, legalized gay “marriage”, “fisting for fourth-graders” in the government schools, and the complete prohibiton of public displays of Christianity.... voila!, the Democrats will cruise back into power!
Yeah. That’s the ticket.
They’ll trot out a claque of Jim Webb clones, iOW, false “moderates.” That works until the people get wise to it, or they close the trap and institute martial law.
End the charade, just rename themselves the Communist Party of Tennessee.
I keep thinking that the two mainline parties are going to merge into one “moderate party” and leave their extremes to duke it out.
Anyone who is wondering what the expression "Whistling past the graveyard" means, this is it.
For example, I give you the South Carolina House and Senate.
IMHO, term limits are one part of the solution.
Undoubtedly, you have some local insight to add to this article.
NO. 10,000 times NO. CA has had term limits for over 20 years. It's a complete and unmitigated disaster.
The Founders had it right: the voter is the term limiter.
Arbitrary term limits for legislators mean the voter hasn't a hope in hell of benefitting. The bureaucrats and lobbyists are everlasting and the "institutional memory" is that of a chronic amnesic.
The only "check" Californians have on the madness of those sent to Sacramento is their initiative process.
The other thing not mentioned in the article I believe, is that TN is a right-to-work state.
Unfortunately, IMHO, The Founders greatly underestimated the American voter.
I suppose the closest we've come was 2010.
Agreed. Term limits are an insult to voters’ intelligence, and nothing good can come of it.
