Rep. Marsha Blackburn is meeting resistance from wealthy Republican donors in Tennessee, an establishment-oriented crowd more comfortable with former Gov. Phil Bredesen, the conservative firebrand’s Democratic opponent in the state’s competitive, closely watched Senate race. Republican financiers, titans of industry in Tennessee, are still gloomy about the retirement of Sen. Bob Corker, a conservative pragmatist. Many are sitting on their wallets as the crucial, 100-day mark to the midterm elections approaches. After a lifetime raising millions of dollars for GOP causes and candidates, some are even donating to Bredesen, whom they view as a centrist who will buck Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “He’s been somebody who is not partisan who gets things done. That appeals to me and to many other Republicans. We want somebody who is not an ideologue and not going to be partisan,” Tom Cigarran, a veteran GOP donor in Nashville, told the Washington Examiner Friday in a telephone interview. “Marsha Blackburn just isn’t that. She does not have a record of doing anything other than being a partisan ideologue.”

I already pointed out your “44 seats” lie.
That claim requires one to ignore the seats that the GOP flipped from the Democrats.
Ballotpedia actually catalogs all of the net changes from the State legislative special elections.
President Trump took Office in January 2017. So let’s look at how many seats actually flipped in 2017 and 2018.
https://ballotpedia.org/State_legislative_special_elections,_2017
In total, 17 state legislative seats flipped party control in 2017. Democrats flipped 14 seats and Republicans flipped three seats as a result of special state legislative elections in 2017.
14-3 = 11 net change toward the Democrats.
https://ballotpedia.org/State_legislative_special_elections,_2018
In 2018, as of June, 11 seats flipped as a result of state legislative special elections. Ten seats flipped from Republican control to Democratic control. One seat flipped from Democratic control to Republican control.
10-1 = 9 Net change toward the Democrats.
If we take the 11 net change in 2017 and the 9 net change in 2018, we get 20.
If you add the 15 seats the GOP lost in Virginia in 2017 you get 35. Add the 3 from New Jersey, it’s 38.
38. Not 44.
Why do you keep lying?
Got you are dense. It’s 44!!!!!! Go kiss up to Nancy and the other liberals you love.
It’s 38. I just documented it for you.
Your response is laughable and typical.
You just can’t stop lying.
Good grief. You joined in 2017. What a waste of time. You came here to troll. You are worthless newbie. Grow up. You are still in diapers.
My join date is irrelevant. I’ve documented your lies and now you, like any good leftist, are retreating to personal ad hominem attacks. Keep digging.
Worthless. And your begin date after the election is most suspect. Russian troll.
Keep on with the laughable ad hominem attacks. It speaks volumes about your lack of character. I find it noteworthy that you seem follow the leftist playbook of using the “Russian troll” label toward anyone who might disagree with you.
I looked and you give zero money to FR. Another proof you are a troll. I am 30 a month. Sad is what you are.
I’ve seen plenty of Diane Black, Randy Boyd, and Bill Lee commercials - also plenty of negative ads against each one.
Black’s “Catch and release” ad looks good, but then they have her on tape opposing a wall (possibly she was being pragmatic).
I’ve seen some Beth Harwell ads - I’m guessing she’s running behind the rest - no negative ads at all against her.
