Peyton Manning for US Senate? Here’s the RINO he could replace
CR ^ | 3/20/17 | Chris Pandolfo

Is one of the U.S. Senate’s top Republican squishes on his way out in 2020?

Rumor is, Senator Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. is considering retirement. The 76-year-old moderate has served as governor of Tennessee, secretary of education under President George H.W. Bush, and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002. He has run for president twice.

Were Alexander to run for and win reelection in 2020, he would be 86 at the end of his term. But should he choose not to, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning has been mentioned as a potential candidate.

Alexander and Corker both voted for the Gang of Amnesty and need to be Cantorized.

I don’t know much about Peyton’s politics. Would he just be a younger RINO?

Is being able to shout “Omaha” a qualification for holding public office?

I read somewhere that he supported Hillary, but don’t know it it is more fake news.

Alexander is hated among conservatives for his RINO stances. And Manning is well liked for his time as QB at UT. I would have so see more about Manning’s views before I would consider voting for him.

Do we have reason to expect that Peyton isn’t himself a RINO?

And despite being from New England, I’d have the same question about Tom Brady as a pol.

No, but being one of the best and most popular quarterbacks in NFL history is.

How do we know Peyton is not a RINO, or worse?

No, but voting to abandon the rule of law and surrender the country to illegal aliens and their employers should be cause for removal.

before we stand a RINO against the wall, we need to be sure we aren’t planning on replacing him with another RINO.

anything isn’t necessarily better than what we’ve got.

By their donations ye shall know them. Manning sent some bucks Fred Thompson’s way. Since then, it’s been all RINO.

Depends on what he stands for. If he is a real conservative then I hope he beats that RINO!!

Is Peyton the one on those Nationwide Insurance commercials?
Maybe it’s just an act, but he seems not too bright on those commercials. I wonder if Peyton agrees with Shaq that the world is flat? For those of us who don’t watch football, those insurance commercials are the only place we see Peyton talking and interacting.

Isn’t Peyton Manning the guy who joined the misogynists who bashed Ann Coulter at a Rob Lowe roast on #FakeComedy Channel?

Wasn’t one former Tennessee QB (Heath Shuler) in Congress, enough?

Manning is a resident of Tennessee?

Or does he plan on carpetbagging to the election?

Can’t trust the MSM not to LIE. Manning might not even be
interested; but if he is, research it for yourself & don’t
trust the MSM to do it for you. - Manning, like Trump, has
plenty of money already & doesn’t need the Washington money.
